ICYMI: I'm delighted to be in this month's #ShelfLife & impressed by the fab job @elcwt & @jasondrakeford did w/ it! youtube.com/watch?v=S5xJqFtPโฆ
My battery capacity has been at 80% for a few months now. My @Apple Care plan (and corresponding free battery replacement if it drops below 80%) expires today. Do we think it drops to 79% tomorrow or waits a week to be polite? ๐๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐

Sidenote, highly recommend getting a UPS (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninteโฆ) for your router and modem, as well as for your parentsโ and other family. Parents donโt have power or reliable cell service at the moโ, but every few hours we turn the UPS on and @TachusFiber connects right away.
Legit the most useful outage tracker at the moment, because @CenterPoint hasnโt had a map for the past few months. Thank you @BBQBryan for figuring this out, and @Whataburger for having an accurate map in your app!
Jenna's pet portraits are adorable, and her soaps are the only bar soaps I use anymore! She also designs logos and sells meat and eggs. This is a great way to support a small independent farmer! ๐

Earlier today I explained the concept of Milkshake Duck to my mom, and just now she said "You know, like that Marshmallow Hotdog thing from before". ๐คฃ
Eeeeeeeeeee there it goes!!! ๐๐๐
We are going.
For the first time, the @NASA_SLS rocket and @NASA_Orion fly together. #Artemis I begins a new chapter in human lunar exploration.
I did a trial run of this a few months ago and maybe itโs because my dishwasher is 15 years old or because I only run it once a week, but my non-pre-rinsed dishes did not come clean. Are there real folks out there who manage to do this successfully?
Seriously: You don't need to pre-rinse your dishes. @Wirecutter ran 17 different dishwashers loaded with crusty, stubborn food stains. Even with zero pre-rinsing, each machine almost always did a fantastic job. nyti.ms/3VviMQC

Stay safe, everyone in Ianโs path! And if youโre local and donโt already follow @chswx, fix that now! Best source for hype-free updates and useful RTs!
We still have plenty of supplies as you prepare for #HurricaneIan.
Re-suppply trucks are expected to arrive today & tomorrow.
Emma fully prepped and ready for a Lowcountry Hurricane Boil. @TrueValue @chswx @HolyCitySinner @Charlestonion
Super interesting how the prevalence of solar energy in CA drastically reduces and also time shifts the recommended energy conservation window. Instead of โall dayโ like in TX, itโs โjust as/after the sun goes downโ.
Yes, these are the kind of discussions you have in your family group chat when your sibling is an engineer who works in the power transport and delivery field, even though he specializes in concrete. A whole gosh darn family of nerds. ๐ค๐
We learned last year when campus A/C went out and it was 95ยฐF (35ยฐC) + basically 100% humidity in classrooms that there are no OSHA regs on max temps in workplaces. Only affected us for ~2 weeks, but some deal with life-threatening high temps for way longer. Seems so messed up!

No but for real, those images were pretty spectacular, especially the nebulae. ๐๐คฉ Too bad the telescope is still named after a person who adamantly did not believe that cool space stuff was for everyone. ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Oh and on the off chance your feed isnโt ALL SPACE PICTURES right now, you can see and download the new stuff at nasa.gov/webbfirstimages And theyโre public domain, so you can go forth and make cool things with them if you want! โจ
