100% agree! Funny enough, my poor husband wears a bra backwards with a tennis ball sewn in the middle to keep him from sleeping on his back and having apnea. Better than a CPAP I guess

Note that this is described species. Beetles are really easy to preserve and are often super cool. There are likely more species in other orders, but they haven't had as much work done on them. Hymenoptera, for example, with all of the parasitic wasps probably has more species but they can be so freaking small and difficult to work with.

Sorry, I am like a wanna be entomologist who works with akshual entomologists and this is one of the things that triggers them

Portland’s ranked-choice debut causes voter engagement to crater; 1 in 5 who cast ballots chose no one for City Council

It looks pretty overwhelming, but remember that all of our voting is by mail. I had my ballot and voter guides for at least two weeks before the election. I felt like it took some work, but I had plenty of time and info to make informed choices.

I am in a district that had 30 city council candidates. There are three seats in each district and I already knew a few of the folks running in my district, so it was pretty easy.

Overall I really liked the rank choice, especially for mayor. There was one candidate I really didn't like and I did not really have to choose between the other front runners based on who I thought had a better chance of winning (I also didn't have a clear favorite between them).

This toilet paper at my work

Obviously unpopular opinion, but I prefer one ply. The fluffy stuff always leaves lint which I think is pretty gross. I also find it more adjustable, like maybe I only need one square to wipe up a little toothpaste but I can also use three feet to wipe my ass.

I will die on this hill
