Coffee is healthy.
Can coffee prevent a stroke?

Those who drank the higher amounts of coffee or tea had a 32 percent lower risk of stroke and a 28 percent lower risk of dementia, compared with those who drank neither. The study also found intake of coffee alone, or in combination with tea, was associated with lower risk of post-stroke dementia.

I'm going to throw all the information into a paper bag, shake it and see the answer that comes out.

That's called truth in non advertising. Meaning nobody talks about the real cost of owning an expensive electric car.
How fast does a Tesla lose value compared to a gas or Diesel vehicle?

It’s all BS. I’m so much happier since I’ve checked out from social media and the news.

I stopped watching the news myself. It just bum's me out too much.
I feel much better being blind to what's going on out there.

People on another forum who have owned Teslas say they are junk. Door handles fall off, paint peels,etc. And a DIYer can't buy parts for them. And the few dealers gouge consumers.

The only thing that changes by watching the news is your attitude.

Sounds like you caught it from the *** did you get vaccinated ?
I am one of those nuts that thinks the whole thing is a scam and the *** is making people sick

I'm about 99.999% sure I had it a few weeks ago. I have my vax and just got the booster last weekend.
We went to my kids football banquet and one of his buds had it (didn't know till later). They were grab assing and wrestling around together. After that my kid was feeling a little crappy. No big symptoms so thought just a minor cold like normal for this time of year. Then the missus (also vaxed) and I got the sniffles. No biggie, also normal for this time of year.
Then the other kids mom reached out almost 2 weeks later to say her kid had it since the banquet and just found out. So put 2 and 2 together and I'm pretty damn sure we all had it.

I was around a lot of customers and my helper's for over 2 weeks and nobody else had any issues.
On the other side of the coin, I do personally know a couple very healthy folks that died from it....

So I guess it just effects everyone differently?

The vaccine made me very ill. So I guess there is no escape from it.

My first two were fine, didn't feel a thing other than a sore arm.
The booster last Saturday made me a little under the weather. I could have still went to work if it was a work day but glad it was on Sunday. Just felt tired and achy. Rode the couch all day and chilled out.

After the 2nd shot, I was sick for two months. Had 9 blood tests, 3 iron infusions, a colonoscopy, an upper GI, a lung capacity test, went to a kidney specialist, only to find out that the CDC knew that what happened to me was a common side effect, but had not told the medical community. The shot made my hemoglobin drop from normal (13.6 to 17.) down to 7.9. Much lower and I would have been in the hospital. I could barely walk across a room without being out of breath.

Yes, I saw a comment by me that hadn't been sent. It was a link to a video.
I hit the reply tab and it reposted the let's go Brandon video I made previously.
It's like it didn't clear the data.
Happens a lot on my text messages.
