    Ok, I read the second article… yeah, I don’t like the model. I don’t like the fact that the company can drain the battery so you may not be at 100% when an outage happens. Although we have zero backup at present, so I’m in no position to be so choosy.

    @kluurs I’m sorry about the wax ring problem. That’s the kind of thing that you just can’t foresee, but sooo soo frustrating when it happens. Having to drive “all the way to Canada” for just the one thing… I totally get that. happy birthday to Spouse Kluurs!

    @Mik BTW don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for you that yours was funded. Any studies getting funded in this admin should be celebrated. But there is (was) a vetting process in place. Trump just ignored it, the way he ignores everything and just does what he wants. So I wouldn't call that winnowing.

    Speaking of art, I received some more of my late mother's photographs today. So this was the 4th USPS box of 4 with photographs my cousin found after my father passed. It was joyous! My mother passed in 2014 and so much went missing. But today there was something I wanted a lot. It's a black and white photograph of my mother and me by my first Dr who was a photographer. I had this photograph framed for my mother a long time ago. I would have been maybe 4 and she would have been about 23. Man I need to learn to post pictures.

    Well, that's ironic. I was taught to use vinegar and newspapers, iirc. I think the paper was meant to be abrasive. I still use vinegar. I use it with paper towels.
