Rick Schoonmaker @rickschoonmaker.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Coke Freestyle machines may be the least reliable things that I have ever seen. 80% of the time, no matter where I go, something is wrong with them. Out of flavors, out of carbonation, improper mix of both if you can get something. Ours at work hasn't worked properly in a year. Absolute disasters. 120

Rick Schoonmaker @rickschoonmaker.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Interesting read and I don't disagree with much of it. I too would love to sell my Tesla M3 on moral grounds, but it's somehow only worth $16k with just 31k miles on it. It's lost more that 2/3 of it's value.
