@mcnado This thread is super useful. My wife is a retired nurse and we were talking about putting trauma kits in each of our cars. I’ll use this as a guide.

@Natasha_Jay even from far away, the look of pride on that cat’s face is quite noticeable.
Brrr! It’s flippin’ cold out there! Snow has just started. My wife and I stayed in bed with the cats this morning until the house warmed up. Now she is making blueberry muffins for breakfast.
Now l need to check feeders and the ponds. Brrr!

@Alice Tie die overalls is really what is demanded for such situations.
@Wen I collected several fakes in order to learn basic repair skills. Now I’m repairing watches as a minor side hustle in retirement. It’s mostly a hobby but it’s close to paying for itself!
@Alice Well at least now the algorithm will feed him stuff about faraday bags.
@Bette -9! That’s downright tropical! LOL
Keep warm up there! It’s a relatively balmy 3º here in my little corner of MO.
@Takiro @nullagent I suspect we’re not far off from that.
“The defendant is accused of printing inflammatory protest signs on their HP ENVY color printer, serial number XXXXXX at 7:35pm on Jan 23, 2026”
@nullagent If I’m honest I didn’t see this one coming but I should have. Possession of a non-compliant printer would be a felony? Insanity.
