I used to drink 8-9 coffees per day, five of which were before noon. I didn't have a problem drinking a coffee late in the evening. I thought to myself, if I can fall asleep, there's no problem.
https://arnel.bearblog.dev/one-coffee/

Why I Started Drinking Only One Coffee Per Day
A post about coffee, pooping, and napping.

I'll start the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) Field Day posts with some of the infrastructure we set up. These tents are a vital part of it, on load from the EMS services in our county. Two are used for radio ops, while the third is entirely dedicated to Public Information and visitor info. It's amazing to watch them magically take shape.
The City of Thousand Oaks brings their communications trailer for an airing-out also.

Well, here's a piece of good news! The #Coop is going to boycott #Israel over the #GazaGenocide.
Support the Co-op, folks!

UK Co-op shops / Israel
Nice one Co-op. I do sometimes shop there, and this'll encourage me to do so. Good to see principle being upheld over profit.
"British food retailer the Co-op Group will cease sourcing products and ingredients from 17 countries, including Israel, where there are "internationally recognised" human rights abuses and violations of international law, it said on Tuesday.
"The Co-op, which is owned by its members and trades from over 2,300 food stores across the UK, said it would stop selling carrots from Israel from this month as part of a commitment to no longer stock Israeli goods."
Commiserations to any Israeli food-growers who _don't_ support the atrocities in Gaza and are caught up in this.

Biden's record on covid
Saw a comment along the lines of: "seems unfair to criticise Biden's record on covid, while the situation now under Trump is so much worse".
But I don't think of them as separate. Biden's government _contributed_ to how covid stands under Trump.
If Biden's lot had taken the opportunity to educate people (at least the ones open to considering science findings) that
- it's airborne like smoke
- an empty room can hold infectious virus
- air filters, UV and fresh air reduce the levels of it
- masks work better the better they fit
- you can be infectious without/before symptoms
- you're fairly likely still to be infectious for 10 days, a few people longer
- current vaccines don't stop you catching it or transmitting it
- it can mess with your immune system so you're more likely to catch other things
- vaccinated people can still get Long Covid
- it's not "mild", it's just that the damage is quiet
then even if they hadn't done anything more to address the problem, people would be in a far better position to deploy their own common sense.
And unlike funding or laws, that investment in _knowledge_ is something it would be difficult for Trump's lot to roll back.
But Biden & co chose instead to play down the risks, and explicitly or implicitly mislead people (e.g. the 5-day quarantine, which contradicts the real infectious period).
So, yes it's worse now, but they _contributed_ to how it is now. They chose to encourage misapprehensions and confusion, and the effects of that choice are still playing out now.
Not letting them off the hook on the grounds of being comparatively "less bad", when they themselves laid some of the foundations of the current state of play.
