I came across this company that is claiming to put satellites in orbit to generate solar power on earth after dark. Is this feasible?

The author mentions an undisclosed $10 fee on every $100 invested in Robinhood. I've had an active Robinhood account since 2017 and I've never been charged a fee to invest.

What nonsense is this, At the Babi Yar ravine just outside Kyiv, 33,771 Jews were massacred on September 29 and 30, 1941. Months before the US entered the war. Additionally there were Jews being slaughtered from 1939.

I've had Covid at least three times myself. The first time was in Feb 2020 and was my roughest bout. I didn't fully lose my sense of smell or taste but it was very confused. Oranges tastes like parsley and other foods got swapped. I've always prided myself on my sense of smell and have been able to differentiate ingredients in a dish. After about a month my sense of taste and smell seemed to go back to normal but for about 2 years I felt that they had not recovered fully. I love to cook and my taste clearly changed. I started drinking more full bodied wines and eating blue cheese, things that had not been my favorite.

I've had at least one but I suspect 2 brushes with Covid in the intervening years. They were pretty mild with no fever and only cold like symptoms.

Around March of this year (2023) I experienced a bout of Covid that reminded me of the original time I had contracted it. Fever, body aches, lightheadedness etc. The symptoms were the same just lighter in intensity and over quicker. The interesting thing is that I never lost my sense of smell and I feel like I've regained what I'd lost from my first bout of Covid.

No more blue cheese:(

Reading about food waste has always bothered me. Growing up in a Jewish orthodox household wasting food was verboten. There is even a mitzvah (commandment) regarding wasting food and or resources[1].

I think that mindset drove me to be named the "leftovers king" by my extended family, as I repurpose leftovers into delicious meals.

There are a couple techniques that can help turn fridge leftovers into really good meals besides for soup. You can make an amazing Frittata using whatever leftover veg and protein you have.

It feels like no one in this thread lives in an urban area with a persistent rat problem. We tried multiple types of traps; snap, glue, electrification. "Eco friendly" sprays, bait boxes, you name it. Nothing works.

When your wife is hesitant to leave the house because of the rats gamboling near the front door drastic action is needed.

I'm not advocating for brodifacoum but the comments here seem tone deaf and one dimensional.
