  • Yeah, they were the best value for money for a long time. Within my recent memory (last ten years or so), if I’m recalling correctly, they were a dollar or less per dozen in my region of the US. You couldn’t beat them for nutritional ROI.

    The thing about their price increases though is that up until relatively recently, I’ve read somewhere that bird flu was an excuse rather than an actual factor. I could be wrong on that, but I distinctly remember hearing it being tied to greed rather than an actual supply issue.

    From what I can find with some quick searching, the red giant phase should only last about a billion years. The white dwarf stage should last much longer (tens or hundreds of billion years) as the sun slowly cools.

    You’re absolutely right that there won’t be a supernova, though. The sun will shed much of its mass in the form of a planetary nebula, but it won’t explode or implode.
