When prices have been falling, you might find there is a better choice of property to compare, and can pick and choose more easily, and more time to consider.
When prices have been rising and people are panic buying, you can't take the time to consider carefully and there may be little choice at any one time, and might get rushed into a suboptimal choice.

You can buy small fridges that run off 12V. You might be able to use in the car, might have an auxiliary power socket in the trunk/boot.
Also, get an insulated food bag or box, and keep things cool by putting in a freezer block, a thing you freeze overnight.

You can estimate by measuring the displacement of your entire body, giving you an average density, then just measure a limb, and do a little mathematics.

Reply to comment by SpaceTabs in Google to merge mapping service Waze with maps products teams | CNN Business by sovamind
I tend to use maps when I have searched for a business or place, in maps you can search for nearest coffee place and just drive. For commuting and planned journeys I use Waze.

Waze runs fine for me with Android auto, I see traffic problems and things like broken down vehicles, police speed traps. I can reports those too. All on my car's infotainment touch screen. Galaxy Note 9, car is MG ZS EV.
So I don't know whether the person commenting above was having a problem or just being unclear.

Indeed, this poses many problems and I too would like to know their justification.
And, surely, they should ask in advance if I even want to generate the report at all, because that of itself can effectively de-anonymise bulk statistics in creating a personalized report.

I wouldn't be surprised if the companies' appointed data protection officer actively wants to have these reports to justify data acquisition under GDPR rules.
Personally, I use them as a prompt to unsubscribe or delete accounts I don't want use any more.

Reply to comment by NDaveT in How do animals get their instincts? by Altruistic_Spirit_25
But a behaviour is a complex thing, probably requiring vision recognition of objects and choosing from a selection of actions. That would suggest, if the brain is anything like neural networks, it's already been trained with those functions.

I think OP is referring to apparently inherited memories. The genome determines the physical characteristic, as a set of assembly guides for making the animal. Simplistically a long neck for a giraffe, fast muscles and running legs your a cheetah.
And there are reflexes like suckling.
But how does a very young animal have complex behaviours which suggests to me that they have inherited memories?

Reply to LPT Request: How to strike a conversation with a stranger by [deleted]
Just complain about the weather or the traffic this morning, or not being able to find a good parking space. These are common gripes, and will resonate with many people. Then let the conversation drift to other topics.
Or sports. Find out something about the local popular sports ball team.
