I read an interesting January 15, 2025 article by Bob Holmes at Knowable Magazine titled The Caterpillars that can kill you. One may thing that I will offer a caterpillar fact as something I learned from the article. Not so. I present a lizard fact:

According to a January 19, 2025 report by Molly Liebergall in Morning Brew, Mars, which I knew for being a candy maufacturer, “controls nearly half of the ~6,600 corporate-owned pet clinics in the [United States]…” The report notes that Mars decided to enter the vet business about 30 years ago and “[r]evenue has spiked 284% since then…” How is this working for pet owners? “The average vet bill is ~60% more expensive than it was in 2014…” [Source: Molly Liebergall for Morning Brew] You would think Mars could use some of the windfall to make some exciting new M&Ms or something.

I assumed without checking that I could switch between two accounts in the Element desktop app on Linux. This turned out to not be the case. However, the Ubuntu Community posted a useful guide detailing several workarounds. I tested the first workaround. Assuming you are using the Element desktop client, open Element with your already-established profile. Then go into the console and run:

Back on February 27, 2024, I wrote an article on The New Leaf Journal introducing a project wherein I would turn my real play-through of Pokémon Red into a serialized novel. I abandoned two play-throughs (including one with a humorous SNAFU) because I was missing a story angle. I was in the midst of what will be my story-producing run on August 6, 2024. I then shelved the project (for some reason) until today (being December 7, 2024), when I resumed after a four-month hiatus. It took me a few minutes to remember exactly what I was doing, but we are now half-way to the eight-badge mark and I have what I think is my final team (one slot may be swapped for the Elite Four, but that will be late). If all goes well, I may be ready to start publishing “chapters” by the end of the month. For those of you who cannot wait, you can read my side-story from the current play-through about spending an hour in Viridian Forest trying to catch a Caterpie.
