Has anyone ever bought a print on demand mug that held up to lots of wear and tear? I'm updating a design I have that I just love on a white mug, but the only long term, practical use for Redbubble mugs is as a pencil holder. The old design looks lovely in china blue, it's one of the few designs that I ever sold, but the customer said BOTH peeled, before I ever saved up enough money to buy my own :(.

Had to fight to not lose my cool at a video game asking for my daughter to select the group with "less" items in it, had to tell myself stopping everything for a rant about not using "fewer" with countable items might distract her. She has so many new grammar lessons rattling in her head right now, just seems like it would be confusing. I paid money for this educational thing. Grr.
Watching a show, and they're trying to imply that a couple of hundred dollars is a shockingly high price for a handknit sweater. A sweater represents many hours of skilled labor, it can take years to learn certain skills. The sweater looked complicated, so maybe 30 hours of knitting for a $200 sweater is $6 per hour for a skilled trade, less than minimum wage.

I managed to go without a working phone (dropped every call I answered) for almost two years, then when Mom and I split up and broke up the family plan, I managed to not get a new plan for almost another year. It was awesome. Now I've had a new number for about a month and already a neighbor is bugging me, "I tried to leave you a voice message, but it's not set up." Like, omgs, no, why are you trying to contact me? Stupid phones.

There's a kind of person who says: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, all that matters is what you *can* do."
If you embark on enterprises without concerning yourself with questions of right and wrong, then disaster is pretty much assured. It means, for one thing, that you're not looking at outcomes; and you're probably not doing that because you don't want the possibility that they will be horrible to keep you from doing what you want to do.

—
Plants make popping sounds that are undetectable to the human ear, according to recordings made in a new study — and they make more sounds when thirsty or under other kinds of stress.
The research shakes up what most botanists thought they knew about the plant kingdom, which had been considered largely silent, and suggests the world around us is a cacophony of plant sounds, said study coauthor Lilach Hadany.

"For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more about the world than I knew yesterday, and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you." - Neil DeGrasse Tyson

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty… We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men – not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were for the moment, unpopular…[W]e cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.”
~Edward R. Murrow

I get the impression that there's a large group of people who think that education in general is highly suspect and probably dangerous, apt to fill kids' heads with all kinds of ideas which they would never get at home or church.
Then there's a smaller clique of people who are themselves well-educated, but who think that education is only suitable for elites like them and is wasted on the hoi polloi.
Together, these groups unfortunately sometimes comprise a majority.

#VenusFlytrap leaves with two traps are very rare, and might only show once on a plant capable of producing it. This picture has two, from clone sisters who threw them out at the same time. Not visible is a third tiny one, that never grew very large. This was a couple of months after I broke up the cluster of babies that sprouted from the mother leaf. The same plants never did this again.
