Just for a little background on my experience, I have moved 20+ times, once or twice locally but mostly long-distance. For most of my long-distance moves, I sold everything and fit what I could in my car, but a few times I did have full moving trucks. One thing I've noticed is that I pack differently for myself than I do for movers and based on whether I am just moving across the city (one side of Toronto to the other) or across the country (Toronto to BC). Anyone else notice this? Do you feel like you pack less securely when you are moving close versus far, or whether you are packing for yourself to handle to movers to handle? Is this normal? I'm especially interested in tips and advice from pro movers. Do you recommend people pack differently depending on whether they're moving short- or long-distances? When you get hired to do the packing for them, do you pack things differently depending on travel distance? Or am I being overly hopeful in thinking that less can happen over a short distance versus a long distance?

Hoping to reach some other home service business owners who have been in a similar spot. Have been running ads on Facebook on my own and do not have time to learn Google ads or to waste time weeding through all the bad apples to find the really good options. I want some recommendations of people or agencies you know of who do good work for home service businesses (HVAC). I was trying to learn Local Service Ads but I read that they are going away so need someone who is up to speed on that. Who do you recommend? Agency or Google ads expert.

I get how naltrexone works. It blocks your happy hormones. But I'm curious as to how it actually feels when you take it. Has anyone ever taken it for opioids, alcohol, porn addiction, food addiction, or any of the other things they prescribe off-label for? If so, what was the actual effect? I've seen people say they no longer crave their addictions, which is great, but what does it do when you actually have the substance or do the thing? If you have a drink, do you not get tipsy? When you eat, does food give you pleasure? The food one is my big one. Does it change the way things taste, or can you enjoy the food, but just not NEED it?

I've recently had a couple of very, very different museum experiences. The first one was a turtle rehab museum on the East Coast that used all old-school types of interactivity (lifting panels, turning dials, touching replicas). The second one was an art museum that used on-device interactivity where you could basically create your own art, which then turned into an immediate moving "graphic" that intermingled with everyone else's graphics, in essence creating a moving artwork. What struck me about these exhibits (that I haven't really noticed before) was that most people were skipping over the old-school interactive things completely, while the "make your own art" area was packed. My takeaway from this was that interactivity has gone fully digital/virtual and that old-school interactivity just isn't interactive enough anymore, especially for younger generations. And you've got these companies like NeoPangea creating absolutely banger interactive museum installations, and I think that has to be the wave of the future, things that actually incorporate devices people are used to working with, like phones and touchscreens.

Has anyone else noticed this trend toward virtual interaction in museum and gallery settings? What other trends are you seeing in your interactive spaces?
