My daughter in law worked at that facility for a year as a manager and noted multiple OSHA violations. Doesn't sound like much changed...

I've read a lot of books, personally, professionally, and in education.
The worst public domain book I can recall is "The Art of War in the Middle Ages". It is the epitome of "Some works should not be set aside lightly, they should be thrown with great force!"
A sample:
"The Teutonic nation of North-Western Europe did not--like the Goths and Lombards--owe their victories to the strength of their mail-clad cavalry. The Franks and Saxons of the sixth and seventh centuries were still infantry. It would appear that the moors of North Germany and Schleswig, and the heaths and marshes of Belgium, were less favourable to the growth of cavalry than the steppes of the Ukraine or the plains of the Danube valley. The Frank, as pictured to us by Sidonius Apollinaris, Procopius, and Agathias, still bore a considerable resemblance to his Sigambrian ancestors. Like them he was destitute of helmet and body-armour; his shield, however, had become a much more effective defence than the wicker framework of the first century: it was a solid oval with a large iron boss and rim. The ‘framea’ had now been superseded by the ‘angon’--‘a dart neither very long nor very short, which can be used against the enemy either by grasping it as a pike or hurling it16.’ The iron of its head extended far down the shaft; at its ‘neck’ were two barbs, which made its extraction from a wound or a pierced shield almost impossible. The ‘francisca,’ however, was the great weapon of the people from whom it derived its name. It was a single-bladed battle-axe17, with a heavy head composed of a long blade curved on its outer face and deeply hollowed in the interior. It was carefully weighted, so that it could be used, like an American tomahawk, for hurling at the enemy. The skill with which the Franks discharged this weapon, just before closing with the hostile line, was extraordinary, and its effectiveness made it their favourite arm. A sword and dagger (‘scramasax’) completed the normal equipment of the warrior; the last was a broad thrusting blade, 18 inches long, the former a two-edged cutting weapon of about 2½ feet in length.
Such was the equipment of the armies which Theodebert, Buccelin, and Lothair led down into Italy in the middle of the sixth century. Procopius informs us that the first-named prince brought with him some cavalry; their numbers, however, were insignificant, a few hundreds in an army of 90,000 men. They carried the lance and a small round buckler, and served as a body-guard round the person of the king. Their presence, though pointing to a new military departure among the Franks, only serves to show the continued predominance of infantry in their armies."

I had a cat who would hide under the dining room table, wait for someone to walk by, then dart out and try to hamstring them... so... yeah... Bite size apex predators!

No... just... no. Find a better source.
I saw a barn kitten try to take down a cow, it was hilarious!
He was sitting in a barn window, looking down at this cow beneath him, switching his tail, and I was like "Oh, no..."
Suddenly this little black and white kitten LEAPS down on the back of the cow, digging in with claws on all 4 paws, and going to town trying to bite as hard as he could!
ROWR-ROWR-ROWR-ROWR! ROWR!
The cow did not notice.

This ^ I get it, the images we are getting back ARE stunning, but is there anything about this mission that demanded a manned spaceflight? Couldn't we/didn't we already do the same thing remotely with the other planets?
I'm glad we're getting back to it, and I'm happy to see anything other "We're sending mice up on the space shuttle... AGAIN!"
But even Artemis IV where they are planning a moon landing has been done.
Let me know when the first colony is formed, then I can get excited.
She really does not.
That's what happens when he's enabled by his own party and the Democrats are out of power. That COULD change after this upcoming election, but not until January, 2027.

Had the surgery 2/19 to remove the entire sigmoid colon and all the related lymph nodes.
Was in recovery 2/19 to 2/23 and released to go home!
The biopsy results came in late today and confirmed 0/12 lymph nodes were malignant. That's it! It's clean! No stage 3, no chemo required!
Follow up with the surgeon on 4/1 to talk about where we go from here, my guess is colonoscopies 2x a year for life now since it went from 0 to stage 2 in 6 months.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, wear blue and get checked!

Not sure when I'll be back modding, I still feel like someone slammed me in the gut with a baseball bat. Cricket bat for our international folks! Maybe another 2-3 weeks.
I still lurk and comment occasionally, just as my health allows!
Edit Bonus - Since my wife had her own medical event this year involving a massive infection, spinal intrusion and below knee amputation, we already hit the out of pocket maximum on our insurance for the year.
Sooo...
Get insurance guys, no, seriously, get insurance.

So some people stress bake... Anyway! Cowboy Cookies!
1.25 cups (6.25 ounces) all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
Whisk all that together in a bowl.
In a SECOND bowl:
1.5 cups (10.5 ounces) packed light brown sugar
12 tablespoons (1.5 sticks) melted and cooled unsalted butter
1 large egg + 1 large yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk all that together until evenly combined, then stir in the flour mixture and whisk until all the dry flour streaks are gone.
1.25 cups (3.75 ounces) old fashioned rolled oats
Stir to combine
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
Stir to combine
1 cup (3 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
Stir to combine
2/3 cup (4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Stir to combine
Spray a 1/4 cup measure with cooking spray and use that to scoop up the dough.
Place 8 cookies 2 inches apart on an unrimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I used a Good Cook AirPerfect sheet which doesn't require parchment or Silpat or anything!)
Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, rotate the sheet and bake another 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
Place cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling and bake the other 1/2 of the cookies, makes 15 to 16 cookies total.

Never been a fan, but it's basically a modern day RPG. Roll it to the future and you get Cyberpunk 2077.
