Possums don’t live exclusively on ticks, they don’t even particularly have a penchant for eating ticks. There was just one study that showed they could eat ticks and potentially have a resistance to some diseases.

bonus: if their parents are attractive, you have a potential thruple opportunity to fall back on if the relationship sours.
You can probably slap something together with a Raspberry Pi and connect it to a low-ish power TV
Chromecast has a digital picture frame built in that uses Google Photos, if you trust that to stick around. You can plug it into any HDMI display.
I’m guessing something like Roku, Amazon, or Apple has a similar feature.
Because in the most efficient systems, you aren’t creating heat, you’re moving heat.
Just as a made up example - with a space heater, you could get 1000 watts of heat from 1000 watts of electricity, or you can move 1500 watts of heat with 1000 watts of electricity with a heat pump.
It’s pretty neat.
As many people said, it depends on your system. Some highly efficient central heating can have greater than 100% efficiency, so a space heater MIGHT be more expensive than the central heating unit.
Typically a better way to keep the cost lower is to set your home’s thermostat to a lower, but still home safe number, like ~55 degrees F (~15 degrees C) and then use a smaller space heater in the room you are using, or just bundle up with hot tea/blankets/sweaters, but allowing your house to get much colder than that might not be good for your appliances, furniture, pipes, etc.
Depending on how much you want to invest, you can upgrade to a mini-split HVAC system and keep each zone of your home at a different temperature based on needs, and it can be far more efficient (and safer) than managing space heaters.
They’ve kept up for three generations, I don’t see why they’d stop now.
Even if you just got one upgrade out of it, it’s probably worth the cost of entry.
There is a market on eBay, but the longer you sit on it, the less it will sell for.
People have broken parts they need to replace, and there’s a semi-active community of people who use framework parts to create mini-servers that need a little more power than a Pi.
Not selling when you don’t need it is just hording.
This is the one. My favorite was the alt-ctl-arrow to flip the monitor direction
No such thing, technology gets better and even games that feel perfect today would be better with newer UI, smoother framerates, or better controls.
Of course you can say that the original Super Mario Brothers needs to exist still so people could keep working on speed runs, or just cause of the history, but a better SMB with new controls and smoother gameplay should always be on the table.
Yup, in the same boat and that looks like a good plan.
I know this is pie in the sky, but look into how habitat for humanity does this. You would be causing a lot of trouble for those families.
Tax burdens for the purchase, because you’re essentially giving them a lot of money. Kind of like how the people Opera gave cars to couldn’t always afford the taxes and ended up having to sell the car.
Also, predatory lenders look for people in that situation and trick them into getting loans on the house to get “free” cash from the equity and then the people just immediately lose their house and end up in the same place.
There are ways to protect them from all of the above, just need a little more than just “give house to good people”
This started long before Obama, and was way more serious in the case of Nixon.
You can say that Obama perpetuated a long standing tradition, but he certainly didn’t start the precedent.
Did the international community come asking for Bush or Cheney? Why would the United States preemptively send anyone to an international court that didn’t ask to be involved?
We know what the great attractor is, pop-sci tiktoks just pretend we don’t know to make it seem mysterious.

Wait, what??? Oh my gods… it works on Android too.
Many stars are double stars, some you can see with the naked eye, some you can’t.
The most well known pair is Mizar and Alcor, but you need very good vison, and very clear, dark skies to see them both.

Call and check with your doctor if it feels wrong, but it was a full month before I didn’t hurt just day to day, and another full month before sports were fully comfortable again.
Everyone is different, and I couldn’t tell you if it’s really normal or not, but it really does take a while for everything to go back to truly pain free.
I feel like my python coding is being attacked here.
Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.
