3/21/2024 NYC perverted law: If squatters lived for 30 days in a house, they are legal residence of the house, the owner who reported them gets herself arrested:

3/20/2024 Receiving Godaddy's Hosting Renewal email reminder $119.88/year for Web Hosting Economy plan, caused me to consider a cheaper alternative. IONOS seems to be a good candidate with only $1/month. At least some think so. The only concern I have is the transition process. Once the move is figured out, I really don't mind going for $12/year instead of $120/year. I may not have time to do it this year, due to the Detroit trip, so I'll look into this hopefully next year.

3/18/2024 Fun take against very interesting interview of Elon Musk on the Don Lemon's Show, regarding Censorship of Free Speech vs. Ethics.
My responses were #1. Theoretical. #2. by examples.
#1. Theoretical:
Both Musk and Lemon are seriously flawed on this.
Ethics on Musk's part (祭司功能的堕落): If it's unethical but legal, it's okay?
Definitions on Lemon's part (先知功能的堕落): Why can't definitions of things be challenged?

#2. Example:
To Mask: So if child-porn is legal, you wouldn't take it down?
To Lemonade: Why should I take down hate speech if I could easily destroy it?

3/16/2024 toysbynature.com While Nadia is away in Indonesia the 2nd time by herself, I went and bought a $3 mini flytrap plant (Venus fly trap: Dionaea muscipula) from Hobby Lobby on Rt. 35. Along with other science "toys" (Galileo Thermometer, Spin drops, Color Mix drop, Hand boiler, black light LED flashlight), all averaging around $5. The flytrap plant came with like 3 seeds, origin allegedly from bogs and swamps of North & South Carolina, seeder method is basically under Sun in enclosed greenhouse moist environment. Hope to see result in 1-3 months as promised by label.

Also, I bought 2 Betta fish (Male & Female Veiltail) from Pet Smart which was next to Hobby Lobby.

3/14/2024 Did my first wisdom tooth #32 cutting (not extraction, unfortunately). 10:30am at Doctor Ray Cheng's clinic at Chatham Square in Chinatown. Excellent work by this doctor, at least my impression was he's truly professional, dealing with my difficult case. He told me I should have done wisdom tooth extraction at around 15-20, because it's tough now with the roots going in too close to the nerves at the bottom of the jaw. Thus, it took longer than expected: 4 hours instead of 30 mins. Because careful decision was needed to determine if he should do it all in one shot or sew it half way now and continue later in a week. Doc chose the former and had to unsew what he thought would continue next week. After all, this would also avoid infection if waited.

Prescribed medicine:
Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Chlorhexidine (Rinse)
Amoxicillin

Was given curved tip dental syringe for cleaning with salt water. I'm surprised with the efficiency of this tool...lots of filth came out with it. I regret that I forgot to bring it for use on my weekend trip to Detroit.

After Detroit, returned 3/26 (Tues) for doctor's check up. All tested fine and quickly.

3/13/2024 Looks like this is hot now in Queens, Roosevelt Ave. between between 82nd and 103rd Streets, selling fake Green Card and SSN. If I could get these for mere $80-$200, I could use them for security (let the thieves steal my fake ones).

Interesting thing to learn about Tokyo from Taiwanese's aspect:

3/12/2024 Because of this TikTok vs. U.S. battle, I've decided to invest some of Nadia's IRA into stocks that depended on TikTok (since TokTok has no IPO): i.e. KKR. I should start looking into some stocks now that the election is coming. I'm turning into this area of investment after my mother reminded me about the recent rise of Bitcoin at $70+k.

I just realized that I could save $15 from T-Mobile autopay if I pay with a bank account or debit card. I think I may have used a debit card before but I've forgotten this discount deal and switched it to a credit card. Now back to DC.
