Does anyone have a method for tracking sales? I have a freezer downstairs that I'd like to stock up. My wife of 30+ years is slowly morphing into a vegetarian, so these are very helpful for this old meat-and-potatoes guy. I'll also happily eat Thai, Chinese, Indian, et al, so I'm not really limited in that way. Thanks, y'all.
I bought my 2014 CTS4 Wagon in 2016 and drove it home to Baltimore from White Plains, NY, with a right rear growling wheel bearing. No, I didn't test drive it because I knew that I was taking home (almost) regardless of condition. My bad. I had it repaired immediately, and everything was fine until it started growling again last week on Cape Cod. It's at the shop getting its third wheel bearing. Any ideas why this is the case? 90K miles, under mixed conditions by a retired old man. She's still a black beauty.

$20 BILLION in one quarter?!?!?! And why are we (seemingly suddenly) building a thousand data centers?
Alphabet went to the head of the investor class after demonstrating what CEO Sundar Pichai called its strongest quarter to date for consumer AI services. It reported that profit jumped by 81%, driven by AI investments. Google Cloud brought in $20 billion last quarter, over an expected $18.4 billion, thanks to an uptick in adoption of tools like Gemini and AI infrastructure.
Amazon also saw big gains in cloud computing, which rose 28% year over year and exceeded estimates. Advertising reached $17.24 billion, above the expected $16.87 billion, with most of that revenue coming from sponsored product listings on the Amazon marketplace.
When analysts asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the accelerated spending on, he said he does not have “a very precise plan,” only “a sense of the shape of where things need to be.” Meta doesn’t sell cloud computing, unlike the other three. Meta also said that its youth safety court cases “may ultimately result in a material loss.”
Microsoft cited the persistence of high-priced memory while announcing that its capital expenditures would likely hit $190 billion this year. The company announced 5 million new paid users for the Copilot AI tools since last quarter, bringing the total to 20 million, but investors worry there’s not enough demand for the Office add-on.
