  • Really? That’s interesting, even rice and oats?

    Edit: where I’m at for spices, you can get 3-4x the amount at Costco vs the grocery store, but on a budget like this you’d probably only get 1 a month while you built up the kitchen. I’ll check rice again next time I’m out but I swear it’s cheaper as well. Haven’t bought oats in awhile, but used to have them for breakfast daily (the basic quaker oats kind, not the expensive flavored sachets)

    Edit: Also I’m annoyed that you can’t see Costco warehouse food prices online. You get the online/delivery prices which are raised making price shopping more difficult.


  • Ya, it’d be a lot of vegetarian meals. If you can get to something like a Sams Club or Costco (although that has it’s own cost) you could get things like eggs, rice, oats, and even some spices over a few months to get you going, really cheap compared to other places.

    Even being able to get something like a bulk frozen blueberries to be your fruit for the month that you can put in the oatmeal for example would go a long way, but is probably too pricey if you’re buying it in small quantities.

    Trying to do that at an expensive grocery store and no access to cheaper bulk pricing would make that less comfortable.



  • A Delaware judge recently invalidated the pay package, citing insufficient shareholder approval.

    I don’t know if this is the article (its pay walled), or AI since it’s a summary, or maybe OP, but this is a terrible reporting of what happened.

    The pay package was supposed to be independently created by the board, but it was found out that Elon had a heavy hand in proposing it, including the people helping him craft it. Now, I don’t think this is bad per say, but then the board was supposed to independently vet it, but the board wasn’t really deemed independent, and who they used had ties to Musk. Further, it wasn’t properly disclosed what involvement Musk had in crafting the package in the first place.

    The failure to properly disclose all of this made the shareholder vote void. Had they disclosed it, and had it been approved, it would have been okay.

    It had nothing to do with not having insufficient shareholder approval.





  • Also what’s the worst case scenario if they’re wrong?

    Long term, what you said sure… but short term, companies will collapse from the transition, jobs will be lost (even if they get replaced with green jobs), people will pay more from carbon taxes or other similar mechanisms, people will be forced to buy EVs that have in many cases become political, and actually are suitable for the vast majority of people today, if not EVs then were taking away cars to build public transportation which is taking ‘freedom’ away.

    It’s not a simple thing to do what we need to do to solve the problem, it involves self sacrifice, and that’s something so many people are incapable of. See covid masking.

    It’s easier to believe the scientists are lying to us and it’s a big conspiracy.
