Holy hell, they said "older," not "antediluvian." ๐

I call it "Not Enough Tigers." We humans have a dynamic response range of "sitting around the campfire with friends and eating great food" to "OMFG! TIGERS!" Unfortunately, most of our daily lives have compressed the dynamic range of experience into a gamut of watching Netflix to "someone said something I don't like."
Most people lack true existential threats in their day-to-day lives, and we humans come unglued without a proper dynamic range of experiences. I think this is why people who do dangerous things, such as urban bicyclists, rock climbers, SAR, and open ocean sailors, tend to be so laid back.
It also doesn't help that those with power have had millennia to dial in propaganda to keep the hoi polloi divided against each other.
So many tears shed in Final Fantasy X. Hell, the emotion in the cutscene of Yuna's sending at the village hit by Sin...
That's also what I thought before reading about Texas' wild pig problem. There are plenty of motivated firearm users in Texas. Yet Texas has problematic numbers of wild pigs (https://www.texasmonthly.com/travel/texas-feral-hog-problem-swine-country/), and the pigs have spread to 35 of the States.
I can't find the numbers now, but one report I read stated that 70% of the wild pigs need to be culled per year in order to keep their numbers under control year over year. But even if we only had to kill 20% of the wild pigs, and only in Texas(https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/nuisance/feral_hogs/), that would still be 520,000 rounds as long as everyone were one-shot -one-kill.
This right here. Life is way too short to have a partner with whom one must conceal themselves. That's such a waste of energy and life capacity.
And if you're interested in developing deeper, more fulfilling intimate relationships, John Gottman's (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gottman) research and publications are an excellent resource on honing your relationship skills.
One of the most beautiful Buick models ever. Buick had some great designs. But holy hell, too bad beauty was only skin deep. My parents had some misguided loyalty to GM in general and Buick specifically. So many clunky, unreliable turds, so much of my childhood spent broken down on the side of the road.
If the hardware is still great, how about installing LineageOS? Here's the direct link to LineageOS for the Pixel 4a: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sunfish/. I've been using LineageOS on all the old devices which are supported, mostly OnePlus and Nexus devices. Lightweight, and does everything I need.
The acid is not the problem. It's the sulfation of the plates (or mats) in flooded cell (and absorbent glass mat) batteries that ruins the batteries.
