2 as a child, both lost to time. 4 as an adult, but they are all prescription so I keep track of them and treat them well. 1 of the 4 is so old and banged up it sits in a drawer as a backup, the rest get used to varying degrees.

No, they effectively do the same thing so you can just set your router to use NextDNS and you're good.

Hemp derived products compete directly with legal weed in the state but are outside the established regulatory regime for legal weed.

The hype is still percolating, at least among the people I work with and at the companies of people I know. Microsoft pushing Copilot everywhere makes it inescapable to some extent in many environments, there's people out there who have somehow only vaguely heard of ChatGPT and are now encountering LLMs for the first time at work and starting the hype cycle fresh.

Expending the political capital necessary to push it through would have consumed his presidency in the process. It was a matter of priorities within the political reality of the era.

Tana French novels often live up to the hype, at least for me.

Did they really name him after a gun too?

In that case, I wouldn't trust anything on the label or any of the packaging. If you can swing it, a quality down bag costs more up front but can last decades if you take proper care of it (mainly always store it dry and uncompressed, and avoid folding it). If you're just car camping it's maybe harder to justify but if you backpack at all the weight savings that come with down are really worth it. One of mine is almost 20 years old and still going strong, amortized over the life of the bag it was a great deal back when I bought it.

Grand Teton

I'm not familiar with that brand and can't find any useful info about them. I'd recommend not trusting the rating on there until you've established performance for yourself, and to bring something warm to put on so if it doesn't live up to the rating you won't be too miserable.

Also, insulation from the ground is super important. If you don't have a good sleeping pad, that will make a huge difference.

That is genuinely creepy.

Possibly. Who makes the bag? For the most part only the higher end bags actually have accurate ratings.
