I was camping in Wyoming during the Perseid meteor shower and the Starlinks flew over. I had no idea what they were at the time and could only guess a meteor broke up in the atmosphere. The line was so perfectly straight I couldn’t believe it and  I Googled when I got home and discovered they were Starlink.

Is it me, or do extremists (left and right) seem to have a woefully inadequate grasp of basic economics and resort to thoughtlessly blaming or pushing whatever their hot button du jour is?

This is such awesome advice! I will add that if you are doing new construction or finishing a basement, take a ton of pre-drywall photos and video with special attention to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. This has been an invaluable reference in my home projects and improvements.

Beth this is so timely! I’ve had a miserable couple of weeks on my runs and been struggling with lifting due to a hand injury (not lifting related). I am a bit depressed about it. This is great advice and inspiration. Just what I needed to hear today! Thank you!

I agree with JimFive, running through injuries shouldn’t…

NFK!! Neither of them were using both hands.

“Let’s stop praying for someone to save us and start saving ourselves.”  

Agree on all points. High brow is not quite the right term but I know what you mean. Apart from leaning into the characters I feel Star Trek also leans into the science. Yea, a lot of Star Trek tech is unlikely to ever happen, but most of it is rooted in real science. I suspect this is also a bit of a turn off for…

On topic - what is JJ thinking? Rookie leadership mistake in any profession to commit people without their knowledge or consent.

I just want to applaud you for including supporting data and making a reasoned and informed argument. Thank you for using your brain! I wish everyone would do the same instead of taking off on some emotional, uninformed, biased rant with shady links to unconfirmed social media posts.

I don’t wish anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers harm. I just don’t want to pay for their healthcare or offer them priority on a hospital bed for their poor choices.

And let’s not forget that coal plants (which sadly still abound) spew a fair bit of radiocative waste as part of those fossil fuel emissions. Like it or not, nuclear needs to be part of our immediate solution. Doesn’t mean we have to stay with it forever though.

I fully support your “freedom” to not get vaccinated, as long as you agree I have the “freedom” to refuse medical care to you.

It’s a sad state of affairs that you even have to write this article.

All good stuff but you forgot the best one - roast your own!! You can buy a pound (just under a half kilo) of green beans for around $5-7. You lose about 10-14% weight in water weight during roasting so actual price per pound roasted is a bit higher.

First, kudos for this article! About the only sensible thing I’ve seen posted in a while when it comes to this election.

I’d like to amend this statement. In general, if you receive something in the mail addressed to you that you didn’t order, you can keep it.

Funny, Trump built a wall too. Around the White House just last week. Last I checked he didn’t get Mexico to pay for that one either.

I read this and my immediate reaction is I shouldn’t speak at all. I know this isn’t what you meant, but I think it’s important that people do continue talking whether they are educated or not. We need to have the courage to engage in difficult conversations. To have the courage to offer our opinion and have it…

The real disgrace here is we keep bitching about this and not doing anything about it. Even modern electronic security can be hacked but it’s light years ahead of our archaic voting and national ID system. The credentials needed to absentee vote are all over the web for many of us. Easily enough to sway an election I…
