Bagels: New York, Montreal, and Bialy. What the difference?
While bagels are all made of yeast, flour and water, there are three specific bagel types that one can enjoy:
the New York style bagel (dough is made then boiled and baked)
The bialy (dough is made and shaped and then baked - but not boiled)
And the Montreal bagel (dough is rolled out then boiled in honey water, and then baked)

“All cross” at crosswalks in Quebec (it’s fun!)
In many intersections in the province, the lights in both directions turn red, meaning everyone crosses from every direction. You can even walk diagonally between corners.

The EV mental model
I saw an article that suggested that we have a bias when it comes to EVs, so I did a little digging and found this research paper that does a nice job of laying out the rationale for what that is and talks about the mental model we use when switching to EVs.
To be clear, this is not something I wrote or have any connection to. I am just sharing it and thank the authors for their work.
Enjoy!

What is the total cost of ownership of a Tesla?
As I note in the video, my plan was to create a spreadsheet and work out the details.
But Edmunds has a TCO calculator. So I opted to use that instead.
Its pretty good, and you can try it yourself. https://www.edmunds.com/tco.html
I also compare the Tesla to a RAV4 which is around the same starting price.
Roughly of course.

Tesla full self driving: my experience
Tesla offered a free 30-day trial so I decided to try it out. There were a few things I liked, but overall I don’t think I’d pay for it
There were some very confusing moments, a few times when I had no idea what it was doing based on traffic, and it really struggled when it came to construction (which is everywhere!)
I can see why there are issues and why governments want to better regulate it.
In the end, it was fun and I’m glad they offered to let us try it. But that’s enough for me.

Reusable rockets
I take a look at NASAs solid rocket boosters and compare them to SpaceX.
