Thanks for your hard work, Carlotta, and enjoy your break!
Thanks for the video about Ho Chi Minh. I’ve been noticing my mood darkening as I take in credible negative assessments about the future and I don’t like the impact that’s been having on my quality of life. Lately I’ve been playing with emphasizing to myself the uncertainty within the negative assessments, regardless of how credible they are, and that’s been helping.

Haha, love the petting chart!
From the past: The day a tsunami-like flood struck a landlocked mountain town. Wow! Relevant: Below Aging U.S. Dams, a Potential Toxic Calamity Documents suggest that in more than 80 U.S. locations, the failure of an aging dam could flood a major toxic waste site.

Since that book was written a lot has changed in our understanding of nutrition and how the foods that babies eat shape their dietary choices later in life. Now we know that sugar is poison, that giving it to a baby would be a tremendous disservice and set them up for metabolic disease (which 1/3 of Americans have) later in life.
Now I’m seriously considering getting a bunker for my home in the US. I recently drove past a store that I had shopped in previously and saw that its roof had been torn off by a tornado. Seeing tornado damage in person is a whole different experience than seeing it on TV. I also wonder if, because of changes in arsenal levels and newer technology, mutually assured destruction is not as much a given as it was the last time I thought about nuclear threats in the 80’s.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!
I don’t know about risks of The Pill but here is some documentation on the risks of vasectomy: https://agent-scruples.medium.com/how-common-is-chronic-pain-after-vasectomy-4bfcd7f0959f
Not sarcasm. … chronic pain is a common side effect of vasectomy. Sometimes it is called Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome (PVPS). This pain may go away after several months or years, or it may be permanent. https://agent-scruples.medium.com/how-common-is-chronic-pain-after-vasectomy-4bfcd7f0959f I learned about this when I made an appointment to get a vasectomy and during the interview the doctor talked me out of it because of how much PVPS he had seen in patients.
I wish vasectomies were less risky than they are.
That’s right, EVs require less and simpler maintenance than gasoline vehicles. Ever play with a remote-controlled car toy as a kid? Was it gas or electric? What was the maintenance on it like?
Observers note a common thread along the supply chain: consolidation. This is the problem.
… a four seconds 0-to-60 acceleration time … This is messing with my head that a Ford truck is now faster than my Tesla! It was fun to rule the road, if only for a brief window.
