Average is "average". Some values have to be high, some have to be low, some in the middle. The average is in-between. Average isn't what it will be, it's <around> what they will probably be.


Average - Half the people in this country are below average.

I think you got it right above. If there is a choice between a change that is good for the customer or one that is good for the corporate bottom line, which do you think will be implemented?


If the change is good for the customer, that should translate into increased sales which would be good for the corporate bottom line.

It's not always "Either - Or."

A few years ago I attended the 'Great American Truck Show' in Dallas. One of the show's exhibitors was giving away something like that. A few drops in your washer tank and the spray would be more effective to clean your windshield.

It was horrible - streaked, left bubbles all over. I ended up flushing out my washer tank.

If you are walking with a cane, I would suggest getting a monopod instead of a tripod. You could probably substitute the monopod for your cane and not have to haul around an extra piece of equipment.

I don't use a cane, but I have used a monopod for many years and on long hikes I've found it to be very helpful.

Needed to replace some three-way bulbs that used to cast about $5.00 each. LED three-ways not cost about $15,00 each, but I take pleasure knowing that I'm saving the planet!


Up front cost is certainly higher. But with the much lower operating cost (the cost of the electricity used) you will save much more in the long run.

In reading some of the comments above, there is an implication that China and other countries stole the light bulb production from US companies. I suggest that the actual situation is that US companies often decided to move production out of the US.

There is also a question of labor cost in other countries that made it challenging for US companies to compete using US production.

My point is that all these situations have multiple factors and more than one plays into decision-making.
In reading some of the comments above, there is an... (show quote)


Labor cost is only a small part of the equation. You also have Union issues, EPA, OSHA, local regulations and opposition to any kind of manufacturing plan, state regulations, federal regulations. With outsourcing, you eliminate all those negative factors. Domestically, that is one of the reasons you have more business moving to TX than CA.

I moved to TX in 1977, moved away in 1978, came back in 1980 and stayed for 41 years. I've been gone for three years and miss it!

Decaf seems less robust to me.


I don't know if it is still true, but I seem to recall that regular coffee was typically made with Arabica coffee beans and De-Caf used more Robusta.

Why is this on the UHH? It is just every day WWW political smoke. Readable anywhere. Most of us want the UHH a reprieve from the ugly and negative. Should have been posted in the Attic Section.


Sanctuary cities like NYC and Chicago are all in an uproar over a few hundred illegal imigrants. TX has been forced to deal with hundreds of thousands. It's about time someone decided to enforce our i*********n l*ws.

I applaud Gov. Abbott.

FYI, Every country in the world has i*********n l*ws. Most of them are more draconian than the US i*********n l*ws.
