Our AC runs all year long. It has to.

Meanwhile it's gonna be 80 degrees here in Austin. Merry Christmas!

…why? What’s the point?

Look, you went out of your way (or were put out of your way) to be here and learn the language. You live here, you work here, you pay taxes here, you're at least as American as I am, and I was born here. So that has to count for something.

Only if you already have a ton of money, and it won’t be what you think.

That’s Dr. Jan Itor to you.

So... give us what we want or we'll take it by force, in other words?

I mean, what were they supposed to do? Trump enacted all these tariffs and all the money they spent on the plant would never be recouped in vehicle sales, so they’re rejiggering the factory to produce (sigh) data center batteries. At the end of the day they’re a corporation, and they’re gonna go where the money is. Apparently that money is not in retraining the existing workforce?

It’s just a dumb situation all around. Not like anyone’s buying cars anyway. And now folks that are in abject poverty will be even worse off. Trump did this, and Ford in their infinite wisdom made it worse, if inadvertently.

No, but that’s been the biggest barrier to these kinds of plastics reaching global adoption. The vast majority of plastics have something to do with food production, or are exposed to myriad chemicals and temperatures. If they can’t do literally everything that normal plastics can do for the same price or cheaper, they won’t penetrate the market. I’m all for them, but it’s gonna be really tough to make any kind of dent.

Unless you can serve food in it and toss it in the dishwasher without it melting or falling apart, it’s basically pointless.

Believe me, we’re aware.

Ideally while rotting in prison.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember seeing them when I was… well, about 20 years younger or there about. I remember them being pointless because by the time you go around to the second half of the bottle the soda had gone flat. Mind you, this was also after it’d been ‘sipped’ on for a week. As a kid I was only allowed one small glass a day.

I’m considering one to swap out the Xbox in the living room, but I also have a Lenovo Legion Go that I rarely use so I may just use that.

Living in Texas all my life I literally can’t remember the last time I saw a three liter bottle. Twos are everywhere, but threes have been a rarity in my life.

Were that it would happen faster.

Mon Français est merde.

Or just right for the wrong reasons.

The real queso is the friends we made along the way.

All the better to dip in salsa, queso, or guacamole!
