Rabbit Population

It's making reference to logistic curves and how rabbit populations, which can grow exponentially, will oscillate between a low and high population size.
In short, it explains why some years there are a shit ton of rabbits, and other years, very few.

No, the Kremlin is sometimes able to say things, that, uh, may conflict with reality.

Why is Newsweek continuously posted here? It is not a legitimate news source, it is a tabloid.

That's not how tax deductions work.

Does the name Fediverse comes from the words federation and universe?
Yes.
Federation refers to how all the independent websites agree on a common protocol, which permits decentralization.
Universe means... everything.

If you believe this article, commercial airlines are much much safer than passenger rail. There was another article that I don't feel like citing that suggested that, in the US, trains didn't even have a carbon advantage.

This sounds exactly like Linux giving the old OOM killer. Reproduce the problem, then look at the output of sudo dmesg. If it shows something like "OOM killed process", then yes, that's the problem.

How the heck do you give you cat a pill?
There's something I call a "pill stick", into which you put it in the barrel, jam it into the cats mouth while holding their jaw and then push the trigger. Requires a little finesse but easier than other methods.

Review / Project Hail Mary
I read the book, then saw the movie.
Apparent plot holes (can't remember them right now) in the movies are explained by the book. And so many unexplained details like the
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler nature and behavior of the astrophage :::
And also
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler why Grace didn't die the same way Rocky's colleagues in space did :::
are explained in the book, making it a superb tie in.
Loved them both. If you haven't read the book, you should.

If I understand correctly, you are asking if your lender will let you refinance. The answer is that it's not up to them, you go to any other lender and try to get a better deal, and then they pay off your old loan and get you a new one. Your old lender (to my knowledge) cannot refuse the payoff.
There's also something called a Mortgage Recast, in which you make a one-time payment and your existing lender adjusts your payment schedule at the same interest rate.

There's a lot of stuff I didn't discuss, like "points" which are not explained well by lenders (and sometimes I think they keep it purposefully obtuse).
