The Netherlands' current plan ends in 2050, but it has shown extremely robust and adequate to the task, so far. I expect the next iteration to keep up the standard.

I'm generally pretty happy with LazyLibrarian. I know people get really excited about the *arr stack, but Readarr never worked well for ebooks. It was maybe a little better at finding audiobooks, but LL is getting better at that.

I had dinner a few weeks ago with a CEO who makes millions per year. The restaurant itself was exorbitantly expensive by my standards, he kept the $100+ cocktails coming to everyone at the table, and he casually dropped the price of something he bought on a lark ($60K). He seemed extremely relaxed, like everything in life was for him and was going his way. It was fairly intimidating. But he was a good listener, too.

I voted R exactly once in a local race. In the previous election during the Tea Party wave, an utter nutcase ousted the usual Republican for the party nomination for county judge. The guy was a menace, the worst, and was openly corrupt. In the next primary, the usual Republican won the primary, but the nutcase decided to run as an independent. I voted for the R once and only once, to keep the nutcase from getting a second term.
