Why is 'scrambled' the verb used when jets are sent out for some purpose? Scrambled makes me think that it's pretty chaotic, which I'm sure it is some of the time, but I'm guessing that air force jet pilots train a lot on various scenarios and have a pretty good idea of what they need to do. Or is this more a matter of US network news using this verb but it's not what military say all of the time?

Hi, we'll be in the area for a week starting this Saturday - looking forward to it! In many places in the US, the bears have learned how to open cars to find food and we are warned to never leave food in the car in certain places like Lake Tahoe. We are staying in Canmore for 4 nights and then driving up to Jasper for the next 3 nights and it just occurred to me that maybe we shouldn't plan to have any snacks or breakfast items on the day we do that drive. I know there are no guarantees when it comes to wildlife but have bear car break-ins been much of a problem up in your area? Thx!

Zepbound on the average is supposed to have fewer gastric side effects than Wegovy from what I've heard. I'm finding the opposite.

I was on Wegovy for about 2 years with no side effects. I tried to see if I could taper off of it, started gaining weight, realized that this is a lifetime drug for me, and switched to Zepbound since it's a bit more effective. I've been on Zep now for a little over a year (started at 10mg, got up to 15mg, and now at 12.5, going back to 10 next week). Every week I get a stomach ache starting about 8 hours after my injection and lasting about a day. I'm in the process of lowering the dosage to see if I can find a sweet spot where I'm still maintaining but not

I live on the peninsula so the light pollution of SF is north of me, the same direction as the aurora would be. I've been able to photograph some minor glowing the last couple of times from places in San Mateo and Hillsborough up near 280 and 92 but am thinking about driving a bit further out tonight. Any suggestions for spots that are dark to the north and not a super far drive from San Mateo? Thx.

Just a friendly reminder - when stoplights are out, treat the intersection as if it had a 4-way stop. Saw many many folks forgetting this on El Camino just now.
