Interesting idea. I'm surprised how well the chef who lost his sense of smell and taste because of Co...

Re: Electric Vehicles

There are still some federal credits available, I think. It was based on vehicle sales, so Tesla's have all been used. Though there was talk of a new round being available which would allow new Tesla buyers to get a credit again. Some states also offer credits in addition to the federal credits.

Re: What?? Are you drinking?

I found that Deschutes has an NA version of their Black Butte Porter. It's been a while since I had the real thing, but the NA version tasted just like I remembered it. I'm not a huge porter fan, but will definitely buy it again.
