I keep seeing ads that say that Wi-Fi is essential πŸ’»

The thing is since the pandemic has come and gone, and my smartphone plan now offers unlimited data aka 60 GB a month, plus a 5 GB hotspot, I find that harder to believe. It’s hard to use that much data on a phone. The thing is the modern, basic smartphone can do nearly as much as laptop can do, at least as far as social media, web browsing, Youtube and email. 4G seems plenty fast to me.

I don’t particularly enjoy sitting at a desk — especially after a day at work doing that, and would rather have my phone where I can take it wherever is comfortable. My phone uses a lot less power then my laptop, easier to lug around, and works wherever I have cell service. And not having WI-FI on my laptop means when I’m using it, I don’t have distractions of social media or email pings, or the ability to wander off into the vast space of the inter-webs.

Beavers Provide Many Unique Benefits to the Ecosystem

Beaver dams create fascinating conditions on the landscape. In general, beaver dams are relatively small and ephemeral since the beavers leave after they exhaust accessible food in an area.

These dams often provide many unique benefits to the ecosystem. Beaver dams provide excellent and under-represented wetland habitat that benefits wetland plants, reptiles, wetland birds, amphibians, waterfowl, muskrat, mink, and the beaver themselves.
