Places center and forward something that has always been troubling about SCOTUS decisions.
The one part missing is how the threat of 'activist judges ruling from the bench' is always trotted out against liberal judges during confirmation hearings, but when conservative SCOTUS just makes up its own rules and privileges and completely ignores precedent, nobody should question them.
We may be talking about different things. The sous-vide thing is like a slightly larger immersion hand-mixer. Doesn't take much space. It comes with a clip so it hangs off the side of a large kitchen pot full of water and plugs into power. There are fancier models that come with their own big plastic tubs and apps. But the basic one works on any container (besides, I just saw one of the popular brands looking to charge a subscription fee for using their app. Screw that!)
The temperature stays fairly tepid and constant since the device has its own heating element and a little internal propeller to move the water around. The food goes into freezer ziploc bags with the air squeezed out. Afterward, you can sear it in a pan or broiler but if slicing, there's no need.
Now that you mention smoking, I'm wondering what it'll be like to add a few drops of liquid smoke...
Just started using a 'sous-vide' machine to cook frozen, boneless chicken breasts, then slice them. Going to try it with that turkey as well. The machine has no bells and whistles (no app or anything) and was $80 on Amazon.
The chicken comes out really moist. You can throw dry-rub in the ziploc bag to add flavors. Had tried different cooking methods but the result this way has been the best.
Price comes to a fraction of store-cooked or deli meat. Helps the budget if you have a teenager doing school sports.
One problem I see is investing in chargers where there may not be much demand.
Instead, they could focus on areas where existing chargers are over-subscribed and there are long waits. These will impact more consumers and better handle demand. If you're building chargers on a rural highway, just to make sure they're spaced out every X miles, and they're used only 20% of the time, that's a waste.
Instead, double the bank of chargers that are 100% utilized most of the day and you will increase adoption.
Retail Chains don't build stores where there's sparse demand. They go where there are a load of potential customers.
TLDR: People need to go touch grass.
As long as they stay away from public 'channels.'
There lie dragons.
Ford currently has only two electric models for sale, the Mach-E and the F-150 Iightning (source: https://www.ford.com/electric/). The Mach-E is an SUV with a ton of competition and, amazingly, an inability to tow. The F-150, though unique, is on the high end of premium pricing and now has Rivian to compete against.
They don't have anything else in the other form factors and price ranges. If they wanted to be serious about EV, they could do well just to fill in the gaps. Maybe a new head of EV will see the light and bring some fresh perspective instead of waiting for a participation trophy.
At least they're not boneheaded enough to drop CarPlay/AndroidAuto like some other carmaker.

A few years ago, we did a family Summer trip to the Klamath. It is one of the most stunningly beautiful, natural parts of the West. This was before the dam removal was finally approved, but we still saw so many species of birds and mammals (including bears) around the river.
Looking forward to revisiting the area once the water is restored and the fish have returned.

I remember seeing a while back a small, collapsible meat slicer that folds into a box shape. Just googled it. Made by SuperHandy, but no longer for sale on Amazon. May be available elsewhere. One place had it listed for 75 british pounds (around $100). FWIW, saw a used one on EBay for $65.
