14 Pro Max at 88%. I’ve never had battery health degrade this quickly on previous iPhones, and I’ve had every iPhone since the 6. I don’t recall percentages on my XS and earlier, but I know that my 11 Pro Max was at 99% when I got my 12 Pro Max, and it was at 98% when I got my 13 Pro Max. My 13 Pro Max was at 93%, when I got my 14 Pro Max, and the only thing that’s been different in terms of my charging behaviors is that I’ve used MagSafe charging much more. Maybe the heat wireless charging creates is worse on batteries, but I’ve read others using MagSafe not have this problem, so I really don’t know unless Apple has tweaked the way they report battery health.

I know what you mean. I saved this blessing off years ago. I don’t remember where I got it, otherwise I’d attribute it to its author. It’s a great way to share that moment of reflection that prayer can provide without the actual religious aspect.

A Secular Grace For what we are about to receive let us be truly thankful …to those who planted the crops …to those who cultivated the fields …to those who gathered the harvest. For what we are about to receive let us be truly thankful to those who prepared it and those who served it. In this festivity let us remember too those who have no festivity those who cannot share this plenty those whose lives are more affected than our own by war, oppression and exploitation those who are hungry, sick and cold In sharing in this meal let us be truly thankful for the good things we have for the warm hospitality
and for this good company

The biggest thing I’ve noticed is not having a large community to feel a part of. Those I know who are active in church communities tend to have a more active social life. I have close friends for sure, but I do miss that sense of greater community and cause.

The only other thing I feel acutely is the sense of being all on my own and the decider of my own destiny. There’s no leaning on faith as a crutch during tough times.

I’ve always thought of Rigid as being the TTI prosumer brand and Milwaukee being more contractor-level, though their M12 line kinda bumps into the homeowner target market now where for most uses 12V gets the job done. Either way, both definitely have their places. Ryobi is great for homeowners who need the tool but won’t use it often enough to justify the price of the Milwaukee durability.

Ryobi and Milwaukee both are TTI tool brands, so it’s not really a competitor tool.
