@midendian It’s very first-mover disadvantage stuff, right? But the saving grace is that if you can fly x/ton out of OAK or x minus a bit/ton out of SMF, it catches up reasonably quickly. (Redrafted because of confusing typo.)

XD) #fedihelp

Picked up some qvevri wine from the Eastern European supply store so the next bolognese is going to taste like it was fermented underground.

I think if your consumer product advertises an easily resealable package, you should have to post one video a month of each of the members of your company’s board of directors opening and resealing it.
