I'm still mad about how counting the omer felt like a game I was set up to fail every year (you get out if you miss one day!)
it felt so unjust because consistency is my #1 weakness, it had nothing to do with my piety!
(anyway, joke's on them. I have a 49+ day streak on anki)
thrumming is a good word. i can feel it.

the impact of the second gulf war on the energy transition in Europe specifically -- where the oil and gas shortages will be felt much more immediately than in the US -- is an interesting one to watch www.businessgreen.com/news/4528540...
