first non quartz/quartzite point

Definitely not perfect but I'm having fun with this obsidian. With quartzite, pressure flaking is off the table. closest thing I can achieve is indirect percussion with an antler bit ishi stick. I'm still trying to get used to not smashing the hell out of the obsidian, its very very easy to break. I also have some flint in the mail that I'm looking forward to working on. Will keep posting updates as I branch out from my local junk.

Just purchased my first car, a 2025 Versa SV (cvt) with 36k miles on it and I'm trying my best to keep it alive. Purchased from a hertz with 33k miles on it. I had the CVT fluid drain and filled at 35k, next up is oil change. Recently I noticed my highway fuel economy was hovering around 20-25mpg, which is way lower than my normal 30-35 city.

This was the engine air filter, which I'm on my way to replace now. What should I check next? Tires? Oil? I am really hoping the CVT fluid change didnt screw anything up with these stupid delicate transmissions.
