I think you need to include energy cost in the preparation stage. Bread requires a hot oven, which is a real amount of electricity


it's close to $0.40/kWh where I live. From this link it says that a bread maker uses only .36kWh, but an electric oven would be more like 1.6kWh. So bakita single loaf of bread, you end up with a not insubstantial fraction of the total cost going to heating the oven.

Of course, many bulk foods require heat, so it gets a little sticky this way. Oats/oatmeal probably wins out here, as you can just soak them overnight.

I always say I have a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. Usually a sheepish, "oh, um, we don't cover that, sorry. click"

Or go full CW, and just transmit source code in binary as dits and dahs. (So long as you document what you're doing it should be legal, though I'm not sure if you should use the CE portion of he band since it's nonstandard...)

My university was pretty zen about this


essentially, "don't use your own access point/router please. But if you do, please talk to your resident (University employed) student IT rep and they can probably help you set it up correctly."

They're just popular ETFs which contain a lot of $AAPL. I was just commenting that even if someone doesn't explicitly hold any $AAPL, if they own ETFs/mutual funds, they are likely exposed to $AAPL.

Doesn't apply to you though since you said you don't own any stock :)

Posted this in another reply, but their entry level hardware has decreased in price over the years I think:

In 1999, the iBook was US$1599 (equivalent to $2925 in 2023) (source).

The 2010 13" Air was $1299 (more in today's $) (source).

The current 13" M3 Air is $1099 (source).

So yeah, they may well raise prices, but the cost of Apple's entry-level hardware has decreased in absolute terms over the years, and has decreased substantially if inflation is taken into account. Not to say the margins aren't higher (no idea about that), but it's interesting.
