And then add a light so cats can scare the shit out of passersby with eerie dissonance in the dead of night.

In that case, you can make it a point to charge when the grid is “cleaner” - usually overnight. Your electricity costs may be cheaper then anyway.

The Apple Home app shows a grid forecast for your location, with cleaner times highlighted in green. I’m sure they pull this info from the utility company, so the info should be available in other smart home apps or maybe even your utility’s website.

But like others said, phone charging is very minimal. We’re talking about a 20W charger vs. say, a 1500W air fryer. Running larger appliances off-hours is a bigger deal - dishwasher, laundry, etc.

First I would support campaign finance reform and watch 90% of the problems be solved.

Then I would tackle the other 10% by making voting more accessible - especially in primaries. Make it so accessible that even young voters bother to do it. That way people will choose younger reps more often.

So no, I wouldn’t support putting a bandaid on one issue and ignoring the root causes.

In 200 years, AI will hack it for you, but you’ll need a dozen antique dongles to get from USB-Z to A.

It’s a risky business model, going all in on catering to the post-apocalypse last-resort pre-cat-food desperate survival market.

Some crackers have whole grain versions that taste as good or better than their white flour versions. Goldfish and Cheez-its are the two that come to mind. This doesn’t make them “healthy”, but at least there’s some better fiber in there. Compare nutrition labels.

Also try veggie chips/sticks. Again, they’re not “healthy”, but… there’s some better stuff in them than normal junk food. They are junk food with a small amount of bonus nutrition.

Freeze-dried fruit is addicting, but expensive. Try it and/or dehydrated fruit. The latter is chewy while freeze-dried is crunchy and melts in your mouth.

You can also try making your own nuggets or tenders with whole-grain panko breadcrumbs, and seasoning. The trick is to make it better than McDonald’s, which is easy for an adult, but tricky for kids. I don’t know the magic sauce though.

One of the latest Splendid Table podcasts had a guest on to talk about cooking healthy for kids (or she just wrote a book about it, I didn’t listen yet.) It’s a great show. Check that out.

You can’t escape student loan debt by default, bankruptcy, etc.

The best thing you can do is sign up for IBR and accept that 5% of your income is lost for 20 years, and hope that whoever is president at that time isn’t a sadist cunt. Also try to save some extra money for possible income tax on the forgiven amount.

That’s assuming your loans are subsidized. If they’re private, try delivering for DoorDash on the side!

It works in regular snow and blood snow

I imagine some poor employee was typing frantically as Big Polluter agents came busting through the door, and he just barely managed to hit print before being dragged away, never to be seen again.

And by “track” you mean they’d kill you over and over till you roll human.

Most pet food is made from the unwanted scraps/guts left over from processing human food. There are not additional pet food farms - they’re the same farms. Where will the guts go if pets don’t eat it? Cheaper fast food, probably, i.e. more fast food, or waste.

I don’t know that this would reduce anything - just move resources around and probably have other effects that you and I aren’t imagining.

Cats and dogs do require meat to live, unlike humans. Reducing the meat industry will drive up pet food prices, and that may reduce pet ownership. But we better fucking make sure pets are spayed and neutered - doubly so if that ever happens.

DOD says it’s OK for the public to have a little info, as a treat.

Oh… well fuck that then. Unlabel it.
