I don't love most Lwaxana episodes, but that one and Half a Life are wonderful.

God damn right I'll do Picard.
It's * exactly * how reference apps with in-app purchases should work. You can pay a la carte for specific lists of recipes, or pay more (once) for everything forever. It's a really good app with a fun design. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Yeah, that just never seems to work for long. I currently have it set to 35-45, and it's showing me 20-somethings. And I live in a huge city, so it's not like it's running out of people in my age range to show me.
My favorite example of this is from The Chase, where they discover the origin of all humanoid species in the galaxy, probably the most important discovery made in the history of Starfleet, and it's never mentioned again.
In my experience, it doesn't matter what you set your age or distance range to in Tinder, because you're going to get people 10 years older or younger and a hundred miles farther away than you specify anyway.
I use the Control D private DNS, which performs similar functions to a pi-hole, but I think is easier to set up.

When I had a Pixel 6, there was a bug that caused awful battery drain when on 5G, so I changed the preferred network setting to LTE for like a month while waiting for them to fix the issue.
It had NO effect on my regular use at all. Running speed tests showed that my max download speed was significantly slower while using LTE, but that's obviously not indicative of real world usage. If there was any difference between LTE and 5G in terms of page loading, media streaming, etc during regular daily activities, it wasn't perceptible.
I'm in the same boat. I make drives that require refueling even if I leave home with a full tank once every other year (Philly to Indianapolis). Even with a very high range EV, that would probably require multiple recharges each way, so that's not a great use case for EVs, but you know what? That's what rental cars are for. I'll happily get an EV for the 99% of driving that I do within three hours of the Philly metro area and rent an ICE car for the at worst annual trip I take that isn't convenient in an EV.
Of course, this is all theoretical for me because I drive a company car and so don't have much choice in my vehicle, and I probably won't have to buy my own car until that job perk goes away.
