Our latest science is out! And yes, it involves petting mini- horses & donkeys. The takeaway? Spending time with animals can make us feel better, but how we treat them may determine just how much we benefit in return. Press release: www.ucdavis.edu/news/just-th... Paper:

Just 3 Minutes with Miniature Horses and Donkeys Improved Teens’ Mood
When we treat animals better, we feel better, indicates a new study from the UC Davis Green Care Lab with mini horses, donkeys and teens.

There is a color code associating each rose color with meanings. Multi-colored roses can defy those, and can produce fun combinations. Eg: one combination I found in Portland’s rose garden a few years ago combined for something like “congratulations on your dead mother’s unfaithfulness”

May 18, 1980 | "Hell on Earth." KOMO cameraman Dave Crockett leaves Seattle at 4:30 a.m. At 8:32, he steps out along the S. Fk. Toutle and focuses on the mountain. A black plume shoots from the summit. Minutes later, he's surrounded by mudflow. On foot, still filming — convinced he won't survive.

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

If there is a state with greater scenic beauty than Oregon, I haven’t seen it. Mountains, high desert, Pacific, Hood, Columbia, Portland — it’s just spectacular. I don’t want to spoil anything for residents, but it’s a truly underrated state. I’m lucky to have married into it.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.
