It's generally not necessary to charge your phone to 100% all the time.
Modern smartphones use lithium-ion batteries, which don't suffer from the "memory effect" that older battery technologies did. In fact, keeping the battery between about 20% and 80% can be better for its long-term health.
Charging to 100% occasionally is fine, but consistently charging to 100% and keeping it plugged in can contribute to battery wear over time.
It’s more about maintaining a good charging routine rather than aiming for 100% every time.
It is important to change the battery in your smoke detector.
Smoke detectors rely on a battery to function, and a dead or weak battery can prevent the detector from working properly, which could be dangerous in the event of a fire.
For best results, you should:
Change the battery at least once a year, even if the detector is still functioning.
Test your smoke detectors monthly by pressing the test button.
Replace the entire smoke detector every 10 years, as the sensors can become less effective over time.
Keeping up with these maintenance tasks helps ensure that your smoke detectors will be reliable in an emergency.
@vivify saidWhat about regular exercise? Sometimes it's hard because I am busy.

Well you get a little exercise climbing up the ladder to change the smoke detector battery.......
I exercise my brain writing acoustic tunes and putting them up on sound cloud.
421 tracks now, lots of mental exercise.
@wildgrass saidWhatever your age or fitness level—even if you’ve never exercised a day in your life —there are steps you can take to make exercise less intimidating and painful and more fun and instinctive.

Ditch the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into monotonous or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise. A little exercise is better than nothing. In fact, adding just modest amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a profound effect on your mental and emotional health.
Be kind to yourself. Research shows that self-compassion increases the likelihood that you’ll succeed in any given endeavor. So, don’t beat yourself up about your body, your current fitness level, or your supposed lack of willpower. All that will do is demotivate you. Instead, look at your past mistakes and unhealthy choices as opportunities to learn and grow.

One thing, if you live in a 2 or 3 story house like mine you get a good deal of exercise just walking up and down steps.
And when I have a honeydo list, right now, I have to take a load of dishes downstairs from our upstairs bedroom to the kitchen to be washed, I get balancing exercise as well as carrying a weight down the steps without falling on my ass and breaking dishes🙂
@sonhouse saidI dunno man that's technically exercise but not really cardiovascular unless you do it 50 times in a row, get the BPM up around 160-170 for 15 min.

@wildgrass saidWhy don't clouds fall down, since they are full of water? Why don't we occupy anything any more?

All exercise is physical activity, but not all physical activity is exercise.
I thought everybody knew that.
@AverageJoe1 saidThanks Joe! Aside from the light ribbing about my vocabulary, this was a productive conversation.

@AverageJoe1 saidYou now recycle Metal Brains topics? Wow. Look up the old threats.
Peace through Strength? We have neither.
@shavixmir saidI posted an opinion piece yesterday on this, talking about Trump's (and therefore the entire right's) sanctimony about this.
Hey, didn’t JD Vance appear on TV saying that left-wing rhetoric is to blame for people shooting at trump. And that the liberals have to tone down their polarising viewpoints?

They do have the huevos to bring this up after the way his campaign has acted thus far.
Your piece covered this well.
