It was some time ago that I read of that, so the details are fuzzy. And here's what I found:

https://nypost.com/2019/07/25/10000-year-old-engraved-stone-could-be-worlds-oldest-lunar-calendar/

“A 10,000-year-old engraved stone could be a lunar calendar. The rare pebble — found high up in the mountains near Rome, Italy, the hammer-stone was found on top of Monte Alta in the Alban Hills. It’s believed that our early ancestors would’ve used the stone to keep track of the moon’s cycles. Notches were engraved “as if they were being used to count, calculate or store the record of some kind of information. And these notches — which total either 27 or 28 — suggest the stone’s engraver used the pebble to track lunar cycles.” ref

It could also have been The Ishango Bone (https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-ishango-bone-the-worlds-oldest-period-tracker/)

I hadn't seen this comment, thanks for making it.

FOSS Period Tracking Apps Exist: (there may be others, as well)

Also paper and pencil.

Also the oldest known "writing" is a stick with 28 notches on it.

It's been four days, probably completely forgot about it. I wonder if the apple watch can help with memory issues.

Thanks for sharing this. One of my biggest 'pet peeves' is the cost of air filters, and the cost of replacement filters. The Nukit Tempest looks like an excellent option. And in combination with Nukit Lanterns or Torches looks like a superior alternative.

Yes, it's so. They use the USPS, one of our great civil services paid for by our taxes, in order to make money off of us. Boycott Amazon is my path, and I suggest others boycott them as well.

Yes, indeed. Certain opinions, of certain people, e.g. Louis DeJoy and his handlers. Or Jeff Bezos. You know, the sorts of people whose financial betterment would benefit from the demise of the USPS. And the people, mostly GOP/ Libertarian who have been misinformed about the nature of the USPS, especially those opinions.

How is the campaign to shut down Amazon for good, and restore the USPS? I'm a bit more interested in that.

Thanks for mentioning OpenEVSE (https://www.openevse.com/) I'm going to keep them in mind against future need.

I have a charger by Webasto. It has a jankety app, and way more bells and whistles than I need. Tho' I do appreciate the 48amp rating. I chose that one because my neighbor suggested it. Turned out to not have the rebate available as our power company is rather restrictive in their choice of chargers to support. Have seen JuiceBox chargers while on drives around my state.

I've studied human anatomy, but I'm unsure, what exactly is that lump of flesh above and to the left of the strap?

I was checking to see if I recalled correctly that CF-Lay was homophobic. And they are/ were. But the original owner passed away, so who knows now. However now they are being accused of being "woke" by whoever makes that discernment, maybe because of an overt stance claiming to be more inclusive. All the same, I avoid fast food chain restaurants because of my interest in eating well, and living healthy.
