Dumb question here: is there a point where enough exercise makes you sleepy?
On nights when I play squash to the point of exhaustion, it is lights out almost before my head hits the pillow.

The housing crisis is a serious issue that requires zoning reform to fix.
Trump did not make those zoning laws; a coalition of oil companies, auto dealers' associations, insurance companies, and car manufacturers, in cooperation with the interstate highway builders, wrote them 70 years ago.

OK hold on a moment. The housing crisis predates Trump's presidency by many years.
The cause is the post-war wave of zoning reforms that made most types of housing illegal in the United States in an effort to usher in mass-motorization. See, e.g., parking mandates, single unit zoning.

Many actors were upset about their parts being cut, and the German TV stations made a deal to show the original series only on German TV.
Most fans prefer it to the movie, hope you enjoy!

But they had to cut it down to 2+ hours from the 8 hours it was intended. This meant cutting out most material from the book and leaving in mostly action scenes.

You have a Das Boot banner on your account and never heard of the TV Film?!
When Wolfgang Petersen started sending footage back, it caught the attention of a Hollywood studio and they bought it before it aired.

No, that’s the reboot. I mean the original Wolfgang Petersen TV series based on the book.
The TV film was supposed to be the format of Das Boot before Hollywood bought it and repackaged as a movie.

Also, 3k+ is a crazy high indoor CO2 measurement. You must have been feeling the effects of that.
That only time I had a reading that high was in a tiny ski condo with 8 people.

I don't understand, how is the oven producing CO2? If gas, it would emit CO; if burning off food, it would emit particulates.
Indoors, CO2 is usually produced by humans breathing. Where is yours coming from?

That’s me with vibe cooking. Mistakes were made, but I served far more and better dinners to my family than I would have been able to without the AI.
Probably this works better on the low end of the skill curve, where I was with cooking.
