This was my first company - KID BASIX. We created the world's first 'BPA-Free' branded reusable water bottle. I was one of the parent activists who led the fight to get BPA banned from drink ware worldwide.
Now, I'm starting my next company. Stay tuned!

WHY I HATE AI:
Because it keeps showing me images of places that I look at and think - "I REALLY, REALLY want to live there! In *that* house, with a stream right outside the French doors of my bedroom."
And then I remember climate change and the rise of "1000 year" super storms.

Stoats are a species of weasel whose fur turns from brown to white in winter (when they are called ermines). Nobody knows why ermines jump into the air like this. Some think it's to lure prey, others that it's caused by parasitic infection.

The Pando is thought to be both the largest and oldest living organism on the planet. All 47,000 trees come from a single seed deposited at the end of the last Ice Age. Each tree is part of the same 80,000-year-old root system and have genetically identical stems.

I can only hope that this renewed battle about healthcare will [slowly] help Americans understand that not EVERYTHING fits neatly into a "free market" capitalism box. Healthcare is just one of them. Maybe it's time for the U.S. to adopt the "Nordic Model."

So now, treasonous traitors and alleged insurrectionists can sue for rightfully being investigated by the FBI for being a traitor to their country.

J.D. Vance is supposedly 6'2". Trump claims he's 6'3". MSNBC reporter Vaughn Hillyard is the same height as Mayor Pete, who's 5'8", but in this screen grab, he's clearly at least two inches taller than J.D. Which means J.D. is 5'6" & Trump is 5'5" tall.

I would like to suggest a new Official Mascot & Symbol for the Republican Party. The Black Mamba is the most lethal snake on the planet, due to its potent venom and multiple strikes in quick succession, which can quickly shutdown the nervous system.
Personally, I think it's the ideal mascot.
