My understanding is that a lot of the reasons for defederation stemmed from a fundamental lack of sufficient moderator tools. Tools that have not appeared and the lack of which has prompted Beehaw to consider moving to a different ActivityPub supporting platform in the fediverse.

And caffeine in the coffee would be listed in milligrams, but the alcohol in beer and spirits would be measured in percent and proof.

I follow the Bogleheads philosophy of investing and use the tenants of a Three-fund portfolio. I like the idea of riding the flows of the market at the lowest cost. Glancing at your list, you have some overlap between the total market and the various “cap” funds, and you don’t have any bond funds. So maybe add in some Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX) depending on how close you are to retirement.

Ooo! You'd think a double double is 4x so at 2x the price is a steal!

Getting out to the dark and just looking up is a really good suggestion of a place to start. Turn Left at Orion is a really good absolute beginner book too, so I second that recommendation as well. One resource I'd recommend that was missing from the article is the Cloudy Nights Forums. It's one of the niche old-style forums that a lot of amateur astronomers frequent.
