At lease one issue I want to push back on is this one

> That person owns a smartphone (which is at least a couple hundred dollars).

Smartphones can be bought for under $100 these days.

I came across this company that is claiming to put satellites in orbit to generate solar power on earth after dark. Is this feasible?

The author mentions an undisclosed $10 fee on every $100 invested in Robinhood. I've had an active Robinhood account since 2017 and I've never been charged a fee to invest.

That's too bad. I would love to try the Sfoglini brand but it doesn't have kosher supervision, as opposed to the TJ's.

What nonsense is this, At the Babi Yar ravine just outside Kyiv, 33,771 Jews were massacred on September 29 and 30, 1941. Months before the US entered the war. Additionally there were Jews being slaughtered from 1939.

I've had Covid at least three times myself. The first time was in Feb 2020 and was my roughest bout. I didn't fully lose my sense of smell or taste but it was very confused. Oranges tastes like parsley and other foods got swapped. I've always prided myself on my sense of smell and have been able to differentiate ingredients in a dish. After about a month my sense of taste and smell seemed to go back to normal but for about 2 years I felt that they had not recovered fully. I love to cook and my taste clearly changed. I started drinking more full bodied wines and eating blue cheese, things that had not been my favorite.

I've had at least one but I suspect 2 brushes with Covid in the intervening years. They were pretty mild with no fever and only cold like symptoms.

Around March of this year (2023) I experienced a bout of Covid that reminded me of the original time I had contracted it. Fever, body aches, lightheadedness etc. The symptoms were the same just lighter in intensity and over quicker. The interesting thing is that I never lost my sense of smell and I feel like I've regained what I'd lost from my first bout of Covid.

No more blue cheese:(
