I had this posted on ELi5 but it was removed because it’s linked to a current event. But…I’d still like to learn about this topic. Maybe someone can explain?

I’m reading the news about the deficit and trying to understand the language around bonds (in the US) and the overall effect they have on the deficit etc. What’s the story here? People cashing in bonds? Something else? I keep reading text like, “doubling buybacks” and “the deficit threatens the bond market”.

Has anyone replaced their air fryer because the cord and plug get really hot? My outlet is only a few years old and the cord / plug gets hot no matter which outlet I use.

Should it be replaced or do they all do this? I don’t want to replace it to find out all makes and models do this.

Thank you!!

I got a Bip 6 as a gift and I love it! My only issue is that it doesn’t seem to track steps very well. When I would do yard work with my Fitbit it would track all steps. Today I carried my iPhone. It logged close to 14k steps and the Bip only logged 5k (because I was mowing the lawn and my arms weren’t swinging!). Does anyone have any tips for getting the watch to track all steps???

I’m in Mass and I flipped my deck light on. A baby opossum walked by to hide and mom left the yard 10 mins later. Without him. 😭. He’s still here hiding. I wish I hadn’t turned the light on. What should I do??

ETA: he looked to be about 5-6”s in length.

Hello all.
I just happened to flip on the light on my deck. A baby opossum walked across the deck to hide and the mom was eating leftover peanuts on the deck. I watched her leave without the baby. Will she come back for it??
