You finally caved to the EV Elon fever

I have no problem with EVs, I own EV stocks. Never gonna "cave" to Elon, who likes to decide what happens in war and who gets killed by turning his crap off.

“By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military fleet via Starlink interference, Elon Musk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego.”

-- Mykhailo Podolyak

I dumped out the pomace last night and my dog decided it needed to be buried. She finished burying it today.

That is one smart dog. The internet says the following about this behavior...

This type of “burying” also follows the natural instinct to keep valued items safe and protected. Although some dogs are more compulsive with this behavior, lots of dogs bury things and are essentially hoarders. They simply want to save these special things in a safe place so they can enjoy them later.

Dakota likes a freshly washed, cleaned bed. Don't think she could be any more comfortable.

Ha, I won’t keep going on this but fake news as usual. I bet there’s a story behind it because everything he does is always watched by the crazy ones on the other side of the spectrum just because his political views.

Again, would leave it there. We know what fake news is.

Yes. "Fake news" is a made-up term for when you don't want to accept reality.

Yes. "Fake news" is a made-up term for when you don't want to accept reality.

And there are all kinds of quotes from Boy Wonder in numerous stories since this news broke, where he is trying to cover his tracks on this one. You know, the guy just instantly went from hero ("Musk provides Starlink service to Ukraine" - nobody cheeped about THAT being "fake news" when it came out everywhere) to zero. Ain't the first time.

In further reading, I did actually find some "fake news" about Musk, and I quote: "Mr. Musk’s life so far — his difficult childhood in South Africa, his stormy romantic relationships, his success as a visionary who created SpaceX and Tesla..."

NO, he did NOT create Tesla. Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. Musk simply bought into it then muscled his way to leading it, a repetitive pattern.

The "fake news" is in this story...

Reality based on what perspective, yours?

Everyone is entitled to have a perspective and as long as you’re objective and not subjective then it should be acceptable.

Wow... What happened to talking about wine, wine making, wine appreciation, etc.? This is just like Facebook! Remember, if you don't read the news, you're uninformed - if you read the news, you're misinformed. If you get your news here instead of wine advice, you're doomed to learning nothing.

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't believe that reality is "based" (using your words) on anyone's "perspective." I am more of an empirical, facts-based guy.

I'd love an old fashioned, thanks.

OK just a friendly reminder to all that if your not here to contribute and help others make the best wine they possibly can in some way you may need to move on to a different forum. If you become a troll in any way you can and will be escorted off the island.
