What's the way to get a dead 12v battery in a @Tesla model y replaced? Mobile service appointment is 4 days away and earliest service center appointment is in 8 days! Surely there's a way out?

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

The W in TWO hasn’t always been silent, as its Old English ancestors, like ‘twa’ and ‘twegen’, would have been pronounced with a “w” sound. The W also lives on in a number of related words—like TWAIN, TWIN, TWICE, BETWEEN, and TWENTY.

A marketing challenge the vaccines have is that they’re free, effective, and efficient against many peoples’ lifetime of experience that the healthcare system never delivers free, effective, and efficient at the same time.
Here's an idea, @YouTube. When someone's listening to white noise, maybe don't play an ad with chirpy, upbeat music in the middle. Millions of parents will thank you.

Let’s talk California. Until recently, our state managed to do so well that our experience has been dubbed The California Miracle. But let’s say it clearly: The Miracle is over. The sooner we acknowledge that, the better off we’ll be.
