I recently discovered that iTunes on Windows no longer includes drivers for iPhones. So there is no way to sync music onto an iPhone from Windows.

Since at least 2000, the Northern Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Program has offered cash rewards for catching this invasive species in the Columbia River.
> The Pikeminnow Sport Reward Fishery Program ... pays anglers for each Northern Pikeminnow that they catch that is nine inches or larger. Rewards range from $6 to $10 per fish, and special tagged fish are worth $500.
In 2022 the top earner has earner over $50k, and the twentieth highest earner has over $12k. In 2015 and 2016 the top earner broke $100k (over 14,000 fish caught by a single angler appears to be the record).

"The Kingdom of God Is Within You" by Tolstoy is definitely a top book for me. I find that I understand it in a slightly different way each time I read it.

I don't like DST, but what I would like even less is staying on DST permanently (which is what most proposals for the US West Coast are calling for). Staying on UTC-7 in winter will make the darkness stretch too long into the morning.

A study of covering seven sites in the US from December 14, 2020 from July 31, 2021 found lower non-COVID mortality among vaccination individuals:
