One of my favorite things about my alma mater is the annual Nobel Conference. This year's topic is Sugar. It's happening today and tomorrow, and everyone can follow along with the livestream: https://gustavus.edu/events/nobelconference/2025 #nobel61
I'm very curious as to why it takes SO long to “prepare" a watchOS update for installation.

Anyone have tips on how to clean splattered, raw egg off of a car, when the air temperature is -25°C? Asking for a friend.
