  Even aside from the temptation to use offsets to kick the can down the road for reduction targets, the rampant abuse of carbon credits make this absolutely the right decision.

  about 2m-ish I guess? Our eldest miiight be able to make it up there if he wanted to, but he's a timid momma's boy with no interest in venturing out of his safe space. His little brother would if he could, but he's built like a kitbull - all shoulders and stumpy legs, not exactly made for jumping :)

  Our two cats get supervised time in the backyard every couple of days - we used to put them in harnesses until we moved to a place with high enough fences that they couldn't get out even if they wanted to.

  Mostly they just wanna chew grass for 15 minutes and maybe investigate a random plant bed, and they quickly learned that if they come back inside when called they get treats :)

  Last week's episode of No Such Thing As A Fish had some wonderful facts about this sport, including that the top competitors in this sport can jump high enough to clear the first two fences at the Grand National steeplechase.

  Been with ING for almost 20 years. My only issues with them are:

  • They're slow to adopt new tech. Tap payments, Google Wallet/ApplePay integration, etc. takes a bit longer than the major banks.
  • They screwed me over once on what should have been a routine (and totally affordable) mortgage extension to finance some renovations. I'm still a bit salty about it, but it was mid-covid and I suspect their competitors would have been just as cagey and risk-averse at the time.

  For day-to-day regular transaction account stuff they've been super chill, and their front-line customer service is surprisingly decent.

  As an Ender 3 S1 Pro owner, I say buy a Prusa 😅

  If you need to go cheaper, look at the Sovol SV06 - it's basically a Prusa clone with surprisingly positive reviews for the price, and it's Klipperable if you decide you want a performance boost down the road.
