Apparently MrTea thought his plant had died because i took it outside for its summer spa vacation. Boy was he going to be surprised when it came back in a couple of weeks twice as big.

MrTea wants to go to sleep early, so I have CLOSED the milk bar early and ABANDONED my child to the tender embrace of his father, who is a) capable of not responding when spoken to and b) capable of resisting fat cheeks presented for kissing.

Thing you don't consider when marrying a person whose family doesn't speak the same language you do: the mental exhaustion, eight years in, of processing an extended family dinner conversation at speed. Currently taking internet break under the guise of checking on my son...

MrTea is attempting to comprehend magnetic reluctance motors, and I have unhelpfully been asking if the resistance sags in air because it’s not sturdy enough to keep it up (low permeability) and how this permeability impacts the navigation of sharks vs birds and whether or not a bird, like a compass needle, navigates incorrectly when dropped too hard, and if that means woodpeckers can’t navigate via magnetic field having traded that skill for Loud. @nimblermortal has helpfully provided information on the going theories of bird navigation and the mysterious electrochemical behavior of sharks’ ampullae of lorenzini.
