They ended up being pretty fun reads so I've decided to revisit another childhood series. Redwall!
Right now I'm making my way through The Bellmaker, which is book 7 out of 22. They're definitely slower than the Animorph books but I'm enjoying reliving some of my childhood none the less.

I'd agree that they're not great in terms of "smart" watches, but they have gotten much better from what I've heard. While I wear mine 24/7 I don't get any phone notifications or anything, I don't even store music on it.
Also, just since you mentioned it. I've never had a screen protected for any of my Garmin's and have never had any issues with it, I also tend to bang it against table/counter edges and walls way more regularly than I should.
My biggest complaint with Garmin is that their API isn't open to the public, and you have to be a business to get access (although I'm unsure if/how much they charge for it), which makes it difficult to use the data for projects. Relatedly, I have yet to find a good way to export all historical data from the Connect dashboard.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. It would suck to lose out on this vehicle, but they only have you over a barrel if you let them.
Also, EV's (and cars in general) aren't flying off the shelf quite as fast as interest rates rise.

I'll move back to my home state (50%) We're going to start looking at land in 2023. Who knows if we'll find any we like, and if so when we'll be able to build.
Biden dies, completely upending Washington (more than it already is) and Kamala Harris is sworn in as the first female President of the US. (10%)

I'm curious how this might impact the remaining advertisers on Twitter. Many companies dropped Tucker's show on Fox. Can't imagine they'd be happy to possibly be run alongside him on Twitter.
