My cat, a 3 year old tuxedo, does this strange yawn-meow when it’s time for dinner. It’s a combination of him meowing mixed with a full wide mouthed yawn. Its especially funny because he only does it once per night shortly before feeding and he typically has a chirpy meow anyway.

What would be required for my wife to drink tap water.

Neat, will be interesting to see what comes from this:

This graphene, which consists of several thin layers, may have formed billions of years ago due to volcanic activity and the effects of solar winds on the moon. This discovery is exciting because it shows us a new, possibly cheaper way to make graphene on Earth, which could revolutionize technologies in electronics and materials science.

Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/

Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.

I do donate actually, to two organizations in my state. Not huge amounts , but something comfortable for me and my finances.

I started during the pandemic when homelessness was more visible in my area and I watched the city make all the wrong moves despite my votes.

Don’t get me wrong I prefer all avenues of improving the problem should be pursued but I also admit fully that donating isn’t for everyone.

Sure but why not both?

Agree 100%. Look up the “housing first model” and donate to non profits that do this:

https://www.caritascorp.org/

https://www.homefirstscc.org/

https://keysnonprofit.org/

https://epath.org/

Far too many states handle homelessness very poorly.

Sneakers (1992) “no more secrets”: https://youtu.be/F5bAa6gFvLs?si=0OAFE-Pp2_Bc8AI8 Not quantum computing of course but still, a great movie.

I thought it was on par with the first. Very good imo. Without spoilers I can say they depicted some challenging emotions very well. My family is filled with anxiety, so much that pretty much everyone is on some form of medication. Needless to say, this movie resonated well with my family.

I bought a 2015 leaf back in 2016. Has held up incredibly well. Range has dropped by 2-3 bars during ownership, which translates to going from around 90 estimated miles to around 60. I drive it around 20-30 miles a day and usually end up with around 50% battery left. The only real work has been standard maintenance replacements: cv boot, 12v battery, trunk lift hydraulics, tires.

Coincidentally, I’ve converted my wife to preferring electric cars over ice too, so we have a second 2022 leaf with the larger battery. So nice from the never caring about gas and lower maintenance perspectives.
