They're too edgy to vote and if they can be bothered vote third party

Don't feed the animals. Especially porcupines, they'll eat a hole in the side of your house to get at the food

Looks more like a basement?

It doesn't matter your age, put up a bird feeder and you'll soon hate squirrels. You spend $40 on a bag of seed and they'll scoop out all the stuff that they don't want to get to the stuff they do want. Seed on the ground attracts animals you don't want like rodents or Canadian geese that shit all over. I found it easier to pay the squirrels off like the mafia. Buy a bag of corn or cheap peanuts and sprinkle some around to appease the bastards. It sucks but it's worth it in the long run.

Got a plastic P trap under that sink drain? You can unscrew the fittings by hand, no wrench needed. Catch the water in a small bucket and clean it out by hand. Screw everything back on by hand. Take pictures when removing the fittings if you're nervous about putting it back together

Focusrite Scarlett interface, Audacity software as others have said. A nice pair of headphones helps too if you want to add a vocal track later. FYI after you hook everything up you'll have to fiddle with input and output settings to get it all to work. I'm sure there are videos to help you. Once it's done you won't have to mess with it again

Does your club meet regularly? Once a week, once a month? It's important to keep it regular. Predictability makes it easier for people to make it a routine. Meet on the same day of the week. Don't change it to accommodate anyone. People have their own lives, don't be hurt if they don't show. Also know that people often will say they are interested but not follow through, that's normal.

Meetings need to have a framework. I recently joined a club that begins each meeting by having the secretary read the minutes from the last meeting. Then they address old business and new business. The main body of the meeting is usually a guest speaker. After that members have time to check out a book from the library, pay dues, order hats or shirts.

Every organization needs a leader. It's never going to be 100% self maintaining. That doesn't mean you have to do all the work but you'll have to delegate responsibilities to volunteers. Don't micromanage them. Be grateful and complimentary, nobody's getting paid I assume. Be willing to accept things even though they didn't turn out how you envisioned. They'll be more willing to take projects on when you are supportive.

I hope this helps, good luck

Before cable news and before there was such an appetite for political news, real news sources were very diverse. Every newspaper had a sports section and an entertainment section. Also opinion was in the opinion or op-ed section. Nowadays I'm more leary of news sources that are strictly political news. Everyone has a Washington DC correspondent. Lots of news sites will buy all of their news outside of DC from a wire service or even sometimes their story is "reporting" what another agency is reporting. Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways but I prefer the traditional well rounded sources. Others just seem cheap and have an agenda
