Last Notes npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #CrazyIdea: a watch with functionality similar to braille, that presses against the back of the wrist so you can always tell the time without looking at or touching the watch with a finger. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Single-product restaurants, like Cinnaholic, seem to be getting more popular. I think someone should start a mussel bar. Mussels are the optimal seafood: healthy, inexpensive, and so sustainable farming them actually improves the environment. Offer paella, adobo, and marinated or fried mussels in dozens of dishes. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz WHOO'S there? Saw this owl on an early morning nature walk in San Antonio. Walked underneath its branch. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Happy #caturday! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz A friend made a #DND cake for my 40th birthday: a 20-sided die with a 40 instead of 20, to say I rolled a nat 40 today. Very thoughtful! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Dictators Putin and Orban expressed their support for #Trump after he became a convicted felon. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #Trump AGAIN made history in all the worst ways - the only former president of the United States to be a convicted felon. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #TIL from the NPR #science #podcast Short Wave that sunscreen has an expiration date.

There could be a nonpartisan agency to continuously look for potential supply bottlenecks in necessities. I suspect that's key to preventing inflation. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1h5f…n49j Nice! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "The Myth of Repressed Memory: False Memories and Allegations of Sexual Abuse" by Dr. Elizabeth Loftus npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Happy #caturday!

All in the name of Jesus. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Religion saying "take our teachings on faith" is like a white unmarked van with a sign saying "FREE CANDY (every word on this sign is true)". If you wouldn't get into that van, don't just unquestioningly accept those beliefs without - or against - evidence. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1q2m…45mv yay for tuxedo cats! Here are mine. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1cy0…ggw4 clearly those people don't have cats like mine that like to paw me in the face at 3 a.m. because they desperately want something and don't know what. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz This is the drawer where I keep my cats. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz May the 4th be with you! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz A middle school found positive results when forcing students to lock up their phones all day every school day. They use a service called Yondr, which has locking phone pouches meant to work with locking stations at entrances and unlocking stations at exits. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Swindled is an excellent #podcast, but this episode on Tyson Foods is an emotionally difficult listen. It provides details on Tyson's atrocious history of abusing animals, suppliers, employees, customers and the environment. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz When Heidi gets the zoomies, she likes to race across the house, into the guest bath, and leap into the bathtub with a loud bang that startles me from several rooms away. Then she'll lurk there as if waiting to spring out at something. Happy #caturday! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Does this exist: a compact package for unhoused people that can be kept in the car for easy distribution. I know it's unwise to give cash, but it seems like it could be useful to provide bottled water, shelf-stable food, information on local resources (shelter, food, etc.), perhaps prepaid gift cards for busses or stores like Goodwill or the Salvation Army. It might even come with a page for the purchaser with do's and dont's they should be aware of. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "Our House Is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis" by Greta Thunberg, Svante Thunberg, Malena Ernman, Beata Ernman npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz The American Diabetes Association has been getting paid to recommend Splenda and other substances (for example, potatoes) in their recipes, despite knowing the science shows those make diabetes worse. Artificial sweeteners can cause weight gain in general and specifically problems for diabetics, so they aren't a guilt-free alternative to sugar. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Happy #caturday! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "The Sawbones Book: The Horrifying, Hilarious Road to Modern Medicine" npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "River out of Eden" by Richard Dawkins npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz This is your regular reminder that drinking alcohol has zero benefits and does massive amounts of harm. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #vegan deviled eggs seem to usually use agar-agar (to make gelatin "egg whites") or potatoes. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Occasionally, I'll wander into the hall bath and will discover Max has been sitting in the bathtub for who-knows-how-long, waiting for me to turn on the faucet because the fancy cat water fountain six feet away isn't good enough for him. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Interesting Planet Money #podcast episode on the dangers of getting tax advice from TikTok (great way to invite an audit!). I had several thoughts in reaction: npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Voting third party helps #Trump npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz My thought for #eclipse #food: "eclipscuits" - eclipse biscuits. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Happy #eclipse day, everyone! I'm so excited to sing eclipse carols, have eclipse cookies and put up the ceremonial eclipe blacklights. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1sxm…tk26 creative, I love it! Especially with the multiple crescent phases. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz I’ve been experimenting in order to come up with a #tea blend in honor of the total solar #eclipse. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @CrazyIdea - #DnD dice clock. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1uuv…c9fe nice, I'm jealous! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz What #eclipse themed foods are there, other than Moonpies, Sun Chips and Capri Sun? npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Interesting article on how replacing single-family homes with duplexes can alleviate the housing crisis. I love the suburban American dream as much as anyone, but in order to ensure affordable housing, I think efforts should be made to get more housing into suburban area - with as little damage to quality of life as possible. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz This really speaks to me. On the one hand, I'm thrilled I could theoretically see a total eclipse from my backyard. On the other hand, not thrilled that thunderstorms are expected here in San Antonio on Monday. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Hey Republicans - stop and think for a minute about how Russia and China desperately want #Trump to become president of the US - so much so that they attempt to meddle in our elections. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz I was shocked when Progressive told me my homeowners insurance would go up by 31% this year - a massive jump. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz April Fool's day seems lackluster this year, but I am amused by: npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel" by Bonnie Garmus npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz "Donald Trump could be making a big mistake hawking the “God Bless the USA” Bible to his MAGA supporters. Some of them might actually read it." npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Some studies support roundabouts over traffic lights. I find them intimidating. But here's my #CrazyIdea for how traffic lights could win, with some innovation. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1mj5…0r0x exactly - another desperate, sad attempt by the "brilliant businessman" to make money. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz I don't know if this is more hilarious or sad. #Trump's latest hare-brained money making scheme: making a Trump Bible. No, literally. The man who is famously ignorant about the Bible is making one, with the Constitution and "God Bless The USA" lyrics added. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz So annoyed with how #Trump keeps getting preferential treatment in the courts. Instead of lowering the cost of the bond, seize his assets! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "Jesus Behaving Badly: The Puzzling Paradoxes of the Man from Galilee" by Mark L. Strauss. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Siren is always so well behaved while she's asleep. Happy #Caturday! npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz After listening to the most recent "Shmanners" #podcast episode on #ASL, I had a thought: why not teach it and use it all through school? Not only would it make for a more accessible society, but there are many situations in which being able to communicate visually without making a sound would be helpful. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Birth control misinformation from TikTok and conservative commentators, causing more women to get unwanted pregnancies in states that have outlawed abortion. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Another #UX fail, although this is on a physical piece of mail: npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz An exciting development - in the future, hopefully anyone who needs an organ will be able to get one on demand, instead of relying on on waitlists or machines. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1ke6…z7av npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Another win for the #Biden administration - he's far from perfect, but he has been getting a decent amount done this term. Even if the bill isn't as aggressive as it should be, and doesn't address issues like the power grid, charging stations, addressing the jobs that will be going away, or the affordability of electric cars or sustainability of parts. But it is an important piece of the solution. Don't let #Trump blow it up. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #Book Review" for "Starter Villain" by John Scalzi npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "Sex in the Middle Ages" by Jennifer McNabb npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub1guz…ul9m glad it wasn't just me!

It's wild how utterly gullible his followers are. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz What are y'all doing for the April 8 eclipse? npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz It shouldn't surprise anyone that #Trump would praise Hitler, but it should horrify everyone. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz @npub19kd…4jdw that's fair - and of course, no demographic statistics apply 100% to everyne - they just reveal trends of note. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz Theory: liberals are cat owners, conservatives are dog owners. npub1vkedzntalg8jl2vmrqmsgr0avvf454azz96jsd49j3wm7dn4yerq59mqgt Chad Schultz #BookReview for "What Should I Do with My Life?

Take the horrifying story of Abraham and Isaac: that if a voice in your head tells you to murder your son, you should do it. No!
