Tap water in the US costs on average about $0.01 per gallon or less. People typically drink a gallon or less per day, so about $0.30 per month. Your water bill is pretty much not affected by the tap water you drink, just the water you use for everything else.
Bottled water is easily hundreds of times the cost.

It's not really hard to be the most democratic superpower when you're the only superpower; we're also the least democratic superpower. China, India, Russia, and the EU are only considered "potential superpowers."
And frankly, most of the EU nations are routinely rated better regarding democracy than the US, which in recent years generally is considered a "flawed democracy" rather than a "full democracy".

I've had an overall good experience with Plex and my Shield, though in my case I only use Shield as a client and my NAS hosts my server. Of the commercial streamers you can buy, it has some of the broadest video/audio format support. A lot of other options don't support lossless audio like TrueHD or DTS-MA.
Better app performance, better upscaling, game streaming (though you'll need to use something like Moonlight for local streaming now), better audio format support for local Plex/Jellyfin servers.
Arguably, if you use 2FA to access your passwords in 1password, there's little difference between storing all your other OTPs in 1password or a separate OTP app. In both cases, since both your secret passwords and OTPs are on the same device (your phone), you lack a true second factor. The most likely way someone would gain access to 1password secured with 2FA is if they control your device and it's been compromised, and having your OTPs separated wouldn't provide additional protection there. Thankfully, the larger benefit of OTPs for most people is that they are one-time-use, not that they originate from a second factor.
There is one theoretical situation I can think of where having your OTPs and passwords separate could be an advantage, and that's if someone gained all your 1password login details, including the 2FA secret key. But for someone able to gather that much sensitive intel, I'm not sure how much more of a challenge an authenticator app would be.
If you truly feel you need a second factor though, you'll probably want to look at something like a Yubikey or Titan. I've considered getting one to secure my 1password vault to reduce the risk of a lost phone compromising my vault.

Worth noting that puberty blockers have other medical uses for children aside from care for trans (or potentially trans) individuals. For example, precocious puberty can have some pretty heavy negative health effects in young children, and the primary treatment is puberty blocking hormones.
Point being, we already treat children with some other medical conditions with puberty blockers. If medical professionals and researchers have found that they're also the treatment with generally the best outcome for people with severe gender dysphoria, it seems ridiculous to me to try to deny them that care by law.
Generally that's a pneumonic for remembering the Barred Owl call, not the Barn Owl. Barn Owls actually have a call that's more of a raspy screech.
But I'd say the majority of Americans wouldn't know one owl call from another, haha. I'm into the outdoors so know a handful, but am far from an expert.
In American English, owl sounds are typically called their "hoot", so for example one would say, "I heard the owl hooting all night."
If one were to spell out the sound, it might be a "hoo, hoo."
It runs better on AMD cards because they and Bethesda entered into an exclusive partnership for the game. FSR is AMD tech; it's why DSLL isn't an included option.
Thankfully, it's quite simple to replace FSR with DSLL using a mod. I get 45-60 FPS on High @ 3440x1440 with a 2070S after doing so.
Why are you comparing $1 to $0.25? This is an incorrect way to compare relative purchasing power.
As already pointed out, if $1 in 1938 is equivalent to $21.77 today, then $0.25 in 1938 is equivalent to $5.44 today ($21.76 / 4). Since minimum wage is $7.25, they are earning more per hour now after adjusting for inflation.
Another way to think about it is if someone wanted to buy something for $1 in 1938, they'd need 4 hours of minimum wage work ($1 / $0.25 = 4 hrs). That same $1 expense would be $21.77 today, or $21.77/7.25 = 3.0 hours of minimum wage work.
This isn't necessarily justification that the minimum wage isn't in need of an increase today, by the way. I personally think it needs an increase (among other work reforms) and is a decent argument that minimum wage in the US has been too low since it's inception. But it has increased since 1938 after adjusting for inflation.
