Addiction, negative feedback loops, obsession and how to avoid becoming a victim of them

Which gender do you see being most typically associated with this?

WD-40 is a jack of all trades but master of none. There’s probably a better product, no matter what you’re trying to do, but everyone has a can of WD-40 lying around.

That’s only true for the high-end Pi 5. Lower-powered models like the zero 2 are still cheap, and they’re a lot easier to find than a few years ago.

They aren’t very useful for much besides hobby projects. Modern hardware is more energy efficient and will be cheaper in the long run compared to anything that would be considered e-waste. The only advantage an old laptop has is the initial cost, so it makes sense for a small home server.

Based on this research paper, washing with soap and warm water is enough to remove harmful bacteria.

That depends… I watched a video where a guy spent hours casting and machining a small part out of aluminum in his garage to avoid paying the manufacturer $30.

Probably TPU (thermo polyurethane), at least that’s what I’ve used.

You could print a mold and cast it out of food grade silicone.

(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

Not the best example since they’re trying to reverse all of these environmental protections.

Is this what they call FAFO?

You also don’t need a 16h plane flight to travel. It can be MUCH cheaper, and shorter.

You don’t have to leave the continent, just getting away for a day or two can do wonders.

That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

According to the article, they were under investigation for over 5 years. I wonder if they would be less willing to open new investigations given recent events.

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.

Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I’d argue that counts too.

Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).

IMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.

Depression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.

To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.
