Focus the capital on research that’s already going into creating matter assemblers. They use light to form matter. This creates food and objects at whatever scale the machines can be created at. No more hunger or digging material out of the Earth bc light is free from the sun. No more shipping costs. Construction happens on the spot. And since the machines can dissolve matter too, there’s your recycling and cleaning up the landfills and oceans.

I worked in custom picture framing shops for a decade, and we would bring things like this to art restorers we contracted with.

I can technically swim, but I can’t open my eyes under water, so it’s not safe to attempt swimming. Now I’m just grossed out by the ick in lakes and swimming pools, and I can’t handle the heat anymore either, so I’ll probably never swim again

I can’t whistle at all, despite numerous ppl in my life taking so much time trying to coach me

Death in Vegas’s Dead Elvis album. Is mostly upbeat instrumental, good background or going to sleep music without being boring

From your op and comments it sounds like you’re doing great and he’s adjusting faster than usual for a cat. It’s good you’re giving him some space today too - he might have been rained on a lot when he lived outside and just want a safe space inside without playing too much
