Btw I got septum surgery and turbinate reduction and it was life-changing. Previously used antihistamines and nasal steroids every day. Even when my nose produces mucus, its doesn’t clog now. Procedure cost me $100 through Kaiser (cost them probably $75k if you believe all the various documents they sent me).

I have some bad news for you: you're supposed to be washing that food before you eat it.

Whole Foods and Safeway are both expensive in the Bay Area. You want something cheap, go to Lucky's.

I was wondering this too, seems to have been removed though.

There is an existing partnership where SolarCity sells and installs Tesla batteries.

I think Tesla's ability to sell another company's installations is limited by the impression they are trading on their brand. ie. a "Trump Steaks" problem.

To expand on this, it seems clear to me that Tesla should be in the business of selling home solar installations. The question is whether this the right way to get into the business. This was a cheap way to get 1/3 of the market.

I think this highlights an upside of the deal - Tesla customers are uniquely willing and able to pay for a pricey solar installation up-front.

The question is, would you have had higher returns investing in a large-scale solar project?

I have achieved breakeven over buying some produce from the grocery store by growing it in my back yard, but that doesn't mean it's the future of agriculture. I guess it would help if the local Whole Foods were required to buy my excess lemons at the $1/each sticker price.
