No beard pilots ... the tag line reads, and I quote 'There reason why is very important'

Stay in school, kids, it saves you from looking like a complete moron in later life.

I find nothing sad about there being no pineapple in pineapple cheese. Of course there's also no apple in pineapple but I digress. . .

It appears you did not stay in school yourself.

The Cybertruck cop car would be at least $100,000 before they add machine guns and grenade throwers. The problem with cop cars is the operate a pile of electronics and communications equipment that requires a ton of juice. They'd need a motor/generator just to power that stuff.

That new way to make chocolate sounds interesting but the expense of overhauling the present production system makes it highly unlikely to go anywhere except boutique shoppes at stupid prices.
