Re: [MBZ] Jeremy Clarkson test drives a Tesla model X

“James May is a moron” I liked that part of the Tesla review. But yes, I agree, Clarkson can be a d*ck at times. May seems far more likable. -D > On Dec 17, 2020, at 3:26 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > There is a cooking show that just popped up on Amazon that James May has >

Re: [MBZ] A quiz question for you

Right after grad school I lived in an apartment that had gas heat and stove.  It was on the 3rd floor of a big old house so I did not need a lot of heat as the lower floors sorta migrated up to me, and I was not around much anyway what with working.  So my bills would maybe be $20/month if

Re: [MBZ] Jeremy Clarkson test drives a Tesla model X

There is a cooking show that just popped up on Amazon that James May has made, it is quite entertaining.  He sorta bumbles through making dishes and the whole production is not "polished." Clarkson is rather insufferable, May seems like the guy to work on cars with while drinking beer. --FT

I do all my own cooking out of preference, although nothing beats eating out at a nice restaurant. On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 3:28 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > And make candles with the leftovers. > > -D > > > On Dec 17, 2020, at 2:09 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <

Re: [MBZ] OT: Statins

One reason I dislike my cardiologist is that he says things like "Everybody should be on a statin" but can point to zero statistical evidence to back up his claim. I think a lot of doctors prescribe them because the drug companies tell them how important it is at their weekly lunch... I'm not

Re: [MBZ] A quiz question for you

There's also the classic "We replaced your meter with a new one", but they 'neglected' to reset the base reading, so you get charged the power difference between the old meter's reading and the new's. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

Re: [MBZ] A quiz question for you

Karl, do you have a 'smart' meter? Those basically allow the power company to charge you a different rate for electricity used at different times of the day. If your state utility / laws / regulations allow it, the power company can charge you in ways that will be impossible to figure out if

Re: [MBZ] A quiz question for you

What do you mean by “cross check”? Are you just wanting to compare your readings with the power company’s? “Sense” is probably the latest and the best from a consumer standpoint if you want accuracy and lots of features. https://tinyurl.com/yajpxty4 -D > On Dec
