Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

This story would totally make sense if I figured out you were lying and bought you a ticket to SF for Thanksgiving.  I haven't had a "family only" Thanksgiving in like 20 years.  This year alone we had friends bring their family and we had a guy from South Carolina, an older couple from Manchester, England celebrating their first Thanksgiving ever, and a lady from Ireland.  You would blend right in and your spirits would be turned around by either Alice's Restaurant or the John Lewis Christmas Adverts…

But I would crush them back down by the third glass of whiskey and the 15th repeat of "Fairytale of New York."  And that's the sex would happen.

that was a strange plot twist

So I guess Jen and I are coming to San Fran in November now? This is weirder than having a Smackie dream in the first place.

Apple Mac Pro Wheels Kit

$700.  For wheels that go under your desktop.  It's ok though, if you don't want your desktop to roll, you can simply get feet for $300.

Doesn't Altria (Richmond) basically own them [or a controlling stake] at this point?

35% stake, and since one of the founders announced he was leaving that might leave them as the controlling share, but not clear.

SF did pass an ordinance banning tobacco and firearms manufacturers from the city, but they were grandfathered in.  We certainly weren't welcoming anyway.

The worst part about trying to be philanthropic in Richmond is anything you try to do, Altria and Dominion already giving them a kabillion more dollars (or the defunct ghost of Genworth).

There has been nothing but bad news about Juul since last years vape deaths and trump bitching about how mango flavors are going to make kids become democrats
Their value in the last year has dropped quite a bit, VA seems like a much more friendly environment for them anyway

Well from a business perspective it was the White Claw of e-cigs

Revenue, maybe, but not profits.  And certainly not after the lawsuits….

To be fair, unlike Juul, people can’t sue White Claw because of that targeted immunity they have from all laws.

Even the watermelon one?  I mean, come on….
