I'm in the same boat with The rotating ferments. I just did a hot sauce and it turned out delicious, but is a bit runny. I would say don't add brine until you've tried it first. Can you share your pickled tomatoes recipe?

In a kind of dark way, this is great news. It will be useful for other states, as well as the city of Chicago, to have an example use case for NOT legalizing video lottery.

Just curious, what is amazingly brief about driving two 8 hour (~500 mile) segments in four days? Even if I had the largest Tesla Battery, I would still have had to stop and do a full charge during each segment twice.

Ok, but the whole idea behind fundamental analysis is that you generate a specific value of worth based on your analysis. So what formula are you using to calculate a price point for Eth based on "adoption and projects using it"?

What "fundamentals" exist for Eth that allow it to be valued at a specific price point? Eth has no earnings, no assets, and no liabilities. Its intrinsic value is close to 0. It could be totally wiped off the planet tommorow an

What you're saying is agreeable: taking a class provides a certain level of motivation that self-study doesn't provide, for most people. That doesn't conflict with the idea that typical college courses have little tangible v
