My wife and I have met this woman on different occasions. Both in her personal and professional capacities. She's a self-serving asshole. She couldn't make Governor so shes going for Senator. If she doesn't get that, she'll try for something else. She just wants to stick a fancy title as the bookend of her legacy other than "local news anchor". She sees Trumpism as her vehicle to that and will do/say whatever to make it happen.

Well now I need to go watch Duck Soup.

Midori's MD A5 (~8.25" x 5.75") notebook comes with 96 but it's closer to $16.

This might be something to look into. Midori paper generally has a little more tooth to it so it won't be super smooth. It's also ring bound like the Walmart one. Jetpens is also a great resource for guides and videos about all kinds of stationery items.

I'm not necessarily familiar with subfloor heating systems but I'll give it a shot. I found this video that helped sort some of it out.

From what I can tell it looks like the hot water comes in from the top line and heads into the manifold but also down to the mixing/regulating valve on the bottom line. After the water runs through the system it comes out to the return line and back out to the heating system.
My first thought is to try closing the blue valve on the return a bit and give it a minute. My thought process is that reducing the cold/out flow will help the circulating pump pull the water from the mixing valve. You could also try messing with the regulator to see if the temperature changes when you adjust it.
My favorite story about Charlie Watts:
"One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Never call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer!"[44][45] He expressed regret for the incident in 2003, attributing his behaviour to alcohol.[20]"
I'm hoping they prove me wrong on this one but I'm not holding my breath. Tron could be just the movie to speak to the implications of AI in the real world, especially these days. But if it's helmed by the same guy that gave us the last Pirates movie I'm sure it'll be way more spectacle than substance. I feel like Legacy was at least a balance between spectacle and putting the story in a larger direction. I'll still watch it eventually but I'm not rushing out for it.
I'll say a vacuum.
When I was a college kid in an apartment I bought the bottom-shelf, bagged Dirt Devil vacuums and dealt with it. All the clogging, hair in the brush, cheap quality/you get what you pay for, etc. Then I moved into a house I got a mid-range Bissell to help deal with all the pet hair. The thing was questionably designed, still got a bunch of the hair in the roll, and needed regular upkeep to make sure it functioned properly. When that one went out I wasn't going to pickup the same thing even though it technically lasted for years.
I recently picked up a Shark Rotator and it sucks in the best way possible. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I can vacuum my whole house knowing I'm getting as much dirt, dust, hair off the floor as possible. And I'm not going to have to deal with even half the problems the low-end vacuums have. It pivots and gets right up against walls. There is a clear window to see the brush roll from the top. It also uses fins that just don't collect hair anyway. The whole canister comes off in one easy motion and I can dump it without spilling all over the now clean floor. There are two roll speeds for hard floors and carpet. The brush roll doesn't spin when it's locked upright so it's not flinging stuff around or grinding into the carpet while I try to clean corners or the couch. And even though it's one of their "heavier" models it's still lighter than the Bissell I lugged around for years.
This is a case that better design and features comes with a price. And those design choices can directly make your life easier. So if you can afford it, go for it.
In the last year or so I heard about how the water level is dropping due to drought which is concentrating all the pollutants in the lake. It's also becoming l so saline that the few species living in the lake are dying and washing up on shore. Then the high winds are blowing around extra salty sand combined with dead carcass particles so it's actually a breathing hazard to be around. This is also combined with the runoff of pesticides from the farms to the north that also polite the water. So it sounds like a great place to hang out!

Remember when we had a whole impeachment hearing against Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine so he could get a political hit piece on Biden? I'm wondering how long it will take before a quid pro quo scenario pops up again. Either in Ukraine or elsewhere. So ya, we're all feeling for Zelensky in the next few years.
