www.theverge.com/news/6793… This decision brought tens of millions of dollars to HuffPo, Forbes, Guardian but it also eroded the credibility of these organizations. It means reading a WaPo article must be done with extreme skepticism now.
www.usda.gov/about-usd… it looks like USDA really pulled this off. Bio-security efforts, only 3 flocks in April had cullings down from 50 in march and we’re importing a lot of eggs!
IT looks like egg prices did drop - tradingeconomics.com/commodity… was it USDA action or just the industry adjusting (importing) eggs to offset flock losses? I haven’t seen anyone complain about them in a while.
Ignorant question and I’m not picking sides here. Is this google trends results for “egg prices” mean that the media and culture have just “moved on” and eggs are still expensive or did the Trump administration’s USDA investment “cure bird flu”? and …
So now I’m looking at Manual 4-seater cars on the used market for a fun summer car. I think I’ll have to grit my teeth and go 1st gen Mini Cooper S Convertible.
This should be a blog post but I started Friday determined to shop for and locate a BMW Z3 M Roadster I’d buy this week only to learn that I can’t because the goal is to have a fun car for Matilda but legally she cannot ride in a 2-seater since she’s under 2 years old.
It was a pretty good weekend. Over way too fast.
Friday at 5:02 PM, the toilet is leaking and so I am going to the hardware store to purchase a wax gasket seal, but hopefully this is the worst part of my weekend
Friday!
I think we’re going to be able to remodel this house instead of selling. Still a lot of big numbers but we’ll keep the lake house and make it work for another decade at least. Not as much space as we wanted but can make it work.
I think I’m going to go with Quick Jack for my now height-restricted garage build. I will only have 9 feet of clearance so I needed a system that will lift a truck ,car or our 3 motorcycles. This stores away on wall mounts and can do all 3 offering 24 inches of lift and is pretty modular for …
Good weekend but still way too many things in the air to relax. One day at a time. It’s almost June which is good. Gotta blog more.
Really deserves its own blog post but hey, if anyone is reading. BMW Z4 M40i versus M440i? I’d love to hear some feedback. Same engine, both convertibles, one comes in manual. Similar prices.
Solidified the car I want today. Settled on the Z4. Going to order in 6-9 months. Enjoyed the M440i but no manual. And M2 doesn’t have a convertible option.
Summer finally started. Even though it’s cold out
21 straight days of rain. Screw it, I’m going riding. 39F and rain. Sigh. Memorial Day ?
I’ve been town between a BMW Z4 or a Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 but if I went the Porsche option, I’d have to wait and save another 2 years but Porsche announced today the 718 is now end of production in October so that has saved me some anguish.
I put together a blog post about some career news - adamchandler.me/blog/2025… Moonlighting at the moment but I’m really excited to take this one.
Nice! A Model Y hauling a Honda CRF MX Motorcycle
Humanity has failed itself with the Internet. I am trying to find pricing for a local auto detailer. It’s only available on their Instagram and I have to create an account to see it. They don’t want phone calls. Messenger only and Venmo for payments. A business backed by Internet Silos.
I do have one iPad Mini Pro 7 complaint - charging speed. It’s capped at 20 watts so 2.5 hours to charge to full. It’s 90 minutes for an iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro M4 charges at about 40 watts so still about 2 hours. The mini, if it could do 30-40 watt charging would have been nice …
Day 3 of 4 in the bag. I’m preparing for day 4 now.
Day 3 of 4. Haven’t lost my voice yet despite talking from 8:30-6 for 2 days.
Hello from Burlington MA. I’m here for 4 days teaching a course. Going to be some long days.
Power is back on. Enjoying a beer from Asheville which raised funds for the hurricane they experienced last year.
