Stoner holiday 4/20 may only come once a year, but Denver residents Kip Wilson and Chris Byard celebrate practically every day.That’s because they’re co-hosts of “Stoned Appetit,” a food- and weed-focused podcast that enables listeners to follow Wilson and Byard as they explore Colorado’s robust cannabis and restaurant scenes. And it’s fair to say that the podcast has been a hit.In the five years since its debut, Wilson has been able to transition to working full-time on “Stoned Appetit,” while Byard joins him when not working as senior grant officer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The two have also collaborated with local marijuana companies on specialty products, such as a vape pen and oil release with Denver’s Seed & Smith.“We like to consider ourselves at the intersect of culinary and cannabis worlds,” Wilson said.Together they’ve traversed the Mile High City corner to corner, from cuisine to cuisine.

Clarence Thomas claimed income from defunct real estate firm, report says

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:20:00 GMT

(The Hill) - Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has claimed on financial disclosure documents that his family received hundreds of thousands in income from a now-defunct real estate firm, according to a new report from the Washington Post.The Post reports that Thomas said the income came from Ginger, Ltd., Partnership, a real estate firm launched by his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, and her family, that was shut down in 2006. A new firm was opened under the name Ginger Holdings, LLC, according to the report, but Thomas continued to claim income from the unused firm. The Post notes that the discrepancy could be a mere error, but it comes as Thomas faces scrutiny for his finances as he serves on the nation’s highest court. A ProPublica report earlier this month said a Republican mega-donor paid for Thomas to take part in various luxury vacations over two decades, which the justice did not disclose. A subsequent report found that Thomas also didn’t disclose a 2014 re...

How your car can power your home

Even as fierce winter winds knocked out power to thousands of Bay Area homes, Tammy Snyder’s rural storm-battered house remained bathed in brightness.Her plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt, linked to the house by long extension cords, powered her family’s favorite lamp, as well as the refrigerator, internet and furnace. It charged the batteries that run her phone, laptop, electric blanket, camp light, flashlights, power tools and a comfy heating pad that wraps around her shoulders.“It’s turned outages into slight inconveniences, rather than the hardships they used to be,” said Snyder, a 62-year-old who radiates practicality. Her family’s scenic Santa Cruz Mountains home is more than a dozen miles away from the comfort of the nearest town — and lost PG&E power 13 times this winter, once for eight days and another for six days.Her homespun setup is a preview of what may soon be easily available to many Californians: EVs that are equipped not just to receive power, b...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:20:00 GMT

Wall Street is pointing modestly higher in subdued trading early Monday ahead of another busy week of corporate earnings reports that should offer clues about how businesses are faring under sustained inflationary pressures.Futures for the S&P 500 rose about 0.1% and futures for the Dow Jones Industrials are up 0.2% before the bell.The focus this week will be on the ability of U.S. corporations to navigate higher costs as the Federal Reserve and the world’s other central banks hike interest rates to cool inflation. “Earnings expectations for this quarter are not brilliant,” said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank. “But the good news is, the expectations are driven by conversations with corporate executives which love sounding pessimistic, so that when the results come in better than expected, the market reaction could be positive despite soft results.” Prometheus Biosciences jumped nearly 70% in premarket trading after the San Diego biotechnology company ...
