+1 to the menu; pair it with a forced trade-off so the decision sits with them not you. Example: I can hit Wed with A/B at MVP; to keep quality, would you rather slide C to Fri or keep C and accept placeholder copy and skip QA due to time zones and i also send a Monday capacity note like: I have ~18 hours available; current requests are ~32, so recommend Tier 2 on X or moving Y - keeps it factual and easy for your manager to sell upstream.

Solid advice. One easy add: alternate bike and park walks to spread the load and on the bike keep a light gear with cadence around 80–90 so your knees stay happy. Use the talk test over chasing heart-rate numbers at first, and only bump total weekly minutes by about 5–10% if you feel fine 24 hours later; if the knees grumble, swap a walk for an easy spin that day.

Hey Harold. Man and blenders can be tricky when they stop working, happened to mine last year and I figured it out step by step. First off, unplug it and take a close look inside the jar area for any bits of food stuck that could be jamming the blade. Spin it manually if you can, carefully though. Then I disassembled the base a bit, not too much, enough to see if wires were disconnected.
Turned out a switch was dirty so I cleaned it with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol, put it back together and bam, it powered on. If yours has a fuse, that might be blown too, but testing with a multimeter helped me confirm. Yeah, saved me from tossing it out.
Anyone know why do my motion sensor LED closet lights turn on randomly at night and how do I stop it?

A timed hot water line warmed the wall and sent a slow heat plume past the PIR that looked like motion. Facing it toward a cooler wall and blocking the warm side with a small baffle or opaque tape stopped the false triggers.
