Trivia Tuesday: January 6, 2015

Very interesting, a Texas Power Company assembled a list of states where it pays to switch to an EV. While all 50 states can save you money if you hold the EV for 10 years over an ICE, these 10 states save you the most the fastest. The 10 states in America where switching to an EV will save you the most money

If the octopus is rubbery, they over cooked it. It should have a slight chew but not be rubbery. Properly cooked octopus is good, much like Lobster. Yet with that said, I do agree with you that lately if you're eating at a restaurant, the quality of the cooked food has gone down, and I think that will turn people off from various proteins that can be very delicious. 

@G. David Felt I agree with this broad rule of thumb.  I once tried octopus in a seafood salad at a Y2K celebration.  I thought it was chicken.  I kept chewing and it was weird and rubbery.  With my mouth full, I again asked what it was.  I was told "polpo," initially misunderstanding it to be "pollo." I went to the bathroom and spit it out. I now do eat things I didn't like before - lamb, pork chops, and more shellfish.  The few times I've had lobster lately, the quality seems to have gone down, so I'm not as impressed as I used to be. - - - - - What I was going to say ... People love to talk about cars.  What may initially start out as a tentative (parking lot) conversation turns enthusiastic when it's genuinely only cars that you want to talk about.

An oldie but a goodie. It could almost run on just its instrumentals.
