If there was a calf or bull around I wouldn’t walk through.

You can yell at them and they might disperse. If they don’t then you’d be able to walk through them.

Cows just don’t like to be startled, that’s about it.

How do you end up getting lost hiking when you don’t even have a water container?

I’m on a drug that’s $3k per month and my insurance only pays a few hundred of that, even though my benefits claims it covers 100%. I then applied for a coupon card which when used covers the remaining amount.

It doesn’t make sense because it’s all made up fairytale pricing.

The few hundred my insurance is paying is probably closer to the real cost but even that isn’t trustworthy.

Great!

Only to find out after chasing that link that it was me who posted that question, 4 years ago, and it’s still unanswered.

Ever since windows 11, edge, and MS’s approach to resetting defaults, I’ve stopped getting support calls from relatives. Yes it’s riddled with annoyances but it’s a net improvement over previous gen software. I see regular people struggle with tech and can tell things have improved dramatically for them.

Great read. Here’s the juicy bit if you don’t have time:

Could the industry conceivably make enough propylene and ethylene through pyrolysis to replace much of our demand for new plastic?

He looked three years into the future, using his company’s latest figures on global pyrolysis investment, and gave an optimistic assessment.

At best, the world could replace 0.2% of new plastic churned out in a year with products made through pyrolysis.
