BREAKING: Soon, there will be NO more cub petting in the U.S. Tonight, the Senate passed the Big Cat Public Safety Act. The bill is headed to Biden’s desk for signature. This law will end Tiger King-style cub petting in the U.S., and ban big cat breeding & selling.
This is cheesy potatoes in my family. Yum!

more wine making - this is Concord grapes and blackberries, about half way through fermenting. It will be aged in an oak barrel. The flavor is great so far, I'm excited to watch it progress!

Machine learning algorithms are getting really good at creating art and photo realistic imagery based on text prompts. I've been having fun playing with a few of the trendiest apps. Are you using AI art tools for anything interesting?

obviously I should avoid thinking of prompts just before lunchtime 😂

I am in the middle of installing 2 heat pump systems on our house for more localized and efficient heating/cooling. Would be great to have them ready for this weekend's 100F temps but I'm a slow DIYer 😆 $10k+ to have a pro install in ~1 day, or $2.5k to DIY over several weeks 🤔

one of the many reasons I wanted to work for myself: daily rest/nap time after lunch!

at what interest rate would you take a car loan vs pay cash?

potentially shopping for a new car - we are hoping to snag a plug in hybrid Prius. Those listed on CarMax sell within 12 hours. If we want one, we may need to just blindly order (and pay shipping) from out of state

does anyone who has bought a vehicle recently have any advice, especially advice for buying from CarMax or Carvana? I figured we get it inspected by our mechanic after delivery and worst case we can return it and eat the shipping cost?

been procrastinating getting in the crawlspace to put in a water line for our new fridge (with dual ice makers!), but I am afraid today is the day 🕷️💧
I've decided to bake a layer cake for Easter dessert at my in-laws house. I'm planning a 2 layer lemon cake with wild plum jam in the middle and vanilla buttercream frosting. I'm a baking newbie, what should I know?

I've already made the tasty tart jam with plums from our backyard

finally have the rough numbers on our taxes this year - I didn't know what to expect with self employment + solar credit + accidently making too much 🫢😬 ... and some other oddities and one-offs. I am pleasantly surprised to only owe $7,500 (we had $16k budgeted)

should have 160k points and a companion pass by April or May, hopefully we can plan some trips over the next 1.5 years! Where would you go?
