"Last July, the cost of my monthly Revlimid prescription increased by 7% to $19,660."
Disgusting, this is for a pill that costs $7.50 for a month's supply.
It is a long read, but after reading it anyone still feels the gov't should keep its hand out of free capitalism really should reassess that.

Electric Entomology: How Insects Interact With Electricity in the Environmenthttps://entomologytoday.org/2025/05/20/electric-entomology-insects-interact-electricity-environment/
I had an interestingly related conversation with someone awhile back. It was regarding insects being attracted to light. My questions were/are how do we know they are attracted to the light itself and not the electromagnetic field it produces? And if the insects are doing so at night, which more than likely makes them nocturnal, why would they be attracted to the light itself?

I said I was in, but due to recent things breaking at the house, it looks like it is out of the cards this year.
