On an episode of BBC’s: Planet Earth I saw an eagle grab a small goat, carry it off a cliff, and dropped it. Effective to be sure and kind of clever for the bird, but terrifying to watch.

Not to worry. Before it explodes, our sun will expand into a red giant much larger than the orbit of the Earth.
No one on Earth will be around to witness the explosion. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
Yep. Leave them in the pants pocket until I transfer them to a fresh pair.
Sleeping me is not to be trusted with such things. 😴
This didn’t stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.
Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!
I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.
It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven’t been lost in years.
If you have a vacuum bag sealer, you could make some custom bags that hold two eggs or more, crack the eggs into the bag (a wide-mouth funnel helps), vacuum out most of the air and seal them. Lay them flat during the initial freeze and they will store great!
I would expect that the wheel shaft has a flange or maybe some knurling on it to prevent it from coming loose. You will probably need to drill it out. I wish you the best of luck on your journey, you will learn a lot about how things are made. I also expect that this will end with you buying a new castor or a new suitcase.
I had a cat who did this. I loved it and was a bit disappointed when he stopped a few weeks later.
You said he is young. He will likely calm down as he gets older.
If the crying really bothers you, pick up the bowl as soon as he stops eating and don’t put it down again until the next meal. Then there will be fewer clues when it is time for food. He will still know, but it will require more effort on his part.
I’m rather fond of Murphy’s burst-fire pistol and hide-away leg holster in Robocop. If we are talking the coolest gun, it’s got to be the Zorg ZF-1 from the Fifth Element.

UPS used to give real time tracking info here, but that disappeared sometime in mid to late-2023.
Agreed on the rest though, Amazon and UPS delivery are both much better than FedEx. I could not think of FedEx being a good retailer until they can improve the quality of their deliveries.
I was looking at one of those new washer/dryer combo units recently (I have heard these are common in Europe but they are fairly new to the US market) and it had a unique feature where you could fill the detergent reservoir, scan the barcode on the bottle, and the machine would dispense the appropriate amount of detergent for the load.
I can see connecting to the Internet on occasion might be helpful here to update the local barcode database, but I doubt it should need updating more often than once or twice a year. Does that mean the feature will work without constant live updates? Probably not, but I doubt it needs to update very often to remain current.
They are not really all that new. The research for mRNA vaccines began over 50 years ago.
mRNA vaccines are among the safest vaccines ever made. There is nothing in an mRNA vaccine that can make you sick. What they are is instructions for your immune system on how to recognize certain viruses when it sees them. You can literally email the mRNA sequence to a different lab and, provided they have the right equipment, they can make the vaccine without ever needing a sample of the virus.
The mild symptoms some people get is the immune system activating and building the viral antigens specified by the mRNA vaccine, but there is no danger of getting Covid-19 or any other disease from the Covid-19 vaccine.
I think instead of saying “nobody is paying attention” it would be better to say that this kind of rhetoric makes him unfit to serve in any capacity.
His attempted insurrection has disqualified him from holding any elected office. He should not be on the ballot in any State. The only news that we should be reading about Trump is what a sad loser he really is and, in my opinion, has always been.
Somehow, I have a feeling this effort will actually help the DOJ identify who these people are.
No. I just felt like you did not understand how free speech and censorship worked.
Creating an instance so you have a platform to speak from is always an option, but other instances having the ability to block that instance is not a sign of it being broken. It means the system works as intended.
Freedom of speech means that you won’t be jailed by the government for speaking your mind even when your position is not popular.
Freedom of speech does not mean that everyone gets to speak and be heard on any subject they desire to whoever they want. It also does not mean that everyone, or anyone, wants to hear it. Individuals are free to censor you as much as they want.
Interaction is a community effort with a social contract that everyone tries to behave within the bounds of the community rules. If you break those rules, even if for a good reason, it is not unreasonable for the community to object.
So let me see if I have this right:
A dishonest seller packaged human urine as an energy drink and offered it for sale on Amazon as some kind of weird experiment. The seller then successfully sold the urine to friends through the site but refused sales to others. So the real crime, selling bodily fluids as food, was committed by the seller, but only to friends who knew what they were really getting.
The bit about the seller being also employed by Amazon sounds like a red herring to make it seem like Amazon had some kind of prior knowledge about this.
I love complaining about Amazon and all of their failings as much as the next guy, but I’m having a hard time seeing Amazon as the bad guy in this instance.
My first thought was anti-labor.
