We found a new show called All Creatures Great and Small
It’s about some veterinarians in the 30’s. It’s slow, doesn’t have any sex, violence, or profanity. It’s wholesome. It’s filmed in the absolutely gorgeous English Dales. We love it and have already watched 2.5 seasons in 3 nights.
Our stupid Samsung refrigerator ice maker is broken.
I looked into fixing it and it’ll cost almost $300. I refuse to spend any money to fix a stupid Samsung. So, my wife wants a new refrigerator made by an actual reputable appliance company, but I don’t want to spend $3000. So we just live without ice, and I anticipate this will be our life until the refrigerator stops working completely.
Would you rather be smart, or beautiful?
I wish we as a society would stop pretending that justice is blind, when it very clearly is not.
Why can't I comment or vote on midwest.social posts?
Has anyone here used the onboard closed captioning in iOS?
I switched to Pixel a few years ago because it has on device closed captioning, and iOS did not. I read that iOS does now, and I’m thinking about switching back. Has anyone here used it? Does it work well? Does it obscure much of the screen? I’m really interested in a screenshot if anyone is willing to share one. Thanks.

Question about astrology (kind of).
We’ve pretty much completely discounted astrology as having any meaningful impact on a person’s personality. But what about the seasons of the year, and the weather that comes with them? The stars position in the sky are an indication of the seasons on earth. Right? Wouldn’t a baby that is born into a world of sunshine and warmth have a different early development than one born into the cold and darkness of winter? Has any research been done on the impacts of a baby’s environmental conditions on their personality?
What happens if I ambush an apex predator?
I know that lions can be scared away when they see humans approaching without fear, but what if they’re ambushed? How about a tiger, or a polar bear? If I manage to sneak up on one of these apex predators, and jump out, screaming, and running at it, will it run? Or will it just turn around and kill me? I guess I’m wondering if apex predators have a fight or flight reflex, and how strong it is if they do. Do they tend to resort to fighting more often if they’re the baddest tiger in the jungle vs the runt of the litter? Do they quickly assess the threat and respond accordingly, or does a flight instinct kick in and send them running?
