Smart looters would just sell the devices for parts without ever powering them on (by themselves). Anecdotally, I have seen instances of looting different kinds of items where the thief is interested in getting some amount for the product.

No, it won’t, but that’s only after a certain limit that’s much higher than 5000IU. Even if you spend all day in the sun, your body will stop the synthesis at a certain level (10000IU in the day is what I had read long ago, but that may be

For me, it’s the realization that having achievements as an aim in life is overrated. To be content with what’s there (or not there) is an achievement by itself. It’s not easy, and I haven’t seen many “young people” achieve this. They’re us
