Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I completely agree that finding social hobbies would help and it's something I should work on. > I understand. Even genuinely useful medications often help with one aspect of a condition (usual

Would it be feasible to create a complete lookup table of 'best' moves for all given board configurations? I'm not sure how to determine the total number of configurations. Not the same as a tablebase, just a single next mo

It's hobby and home stuff that needs the biggest stimulant push for me. At work there's social pressure to provide motivation, but when I'm alone there's no sources of motivation. SSRIs make me even more lazy, which res

Wow, this hits home. I covered a lot of the same ground with my therapist this morning. Leaning on caffeine or amphetamines to force action works, but thats not the same as desiring action. I'm motivated by fear and anxiety, and I wa

I think that's no longer true for modern flatscreen TVs. Older CRT TVs had caps charged to a dangerously high voltage, but all the caps on an LED/LCD TV should be a low enough voltage to be touch safe.

The public isn't aware of all the aid that the west has given Ukraine. Whatever's been given, it's been pretty effective as evidenced by Ukraine still existing. Limits are put on military aid to leave the threat of escalatio

There's likely a lot of contraband coming into the US in what looks Shein and Temu packages. Leverging de minimus regulations isn't just to avoid taxes and forced labor laws, it also avoids the 0.01% of packages that are Fentanyl

Glucose and ethanol are metabolized through different pathways that will have different efficiencies. How much impact does that have on comparing the two? Glucose can go right into the bloodstream (?), but ethanol needs to be reacted (taki

It being a proxy war against Russia justifies USA spending $ more than if it was an isolated regional conflict. $ is cheaper than US warfighter lives. Spending $ is worth it if it helps the west win while the war is still just a proxy war.

Would you mind sharing what your diet was like as a child? I wonder if there's a connection between diet during development and adult processing of and cravings for food. Maybe eating candy for breakfast (cookiecrisp!) every day in el

The food changed substantially. Lot's of other stuff changed too, but we're talking about the transition from malnutrition to obesity over a few generations and the make up of what we ingest strongly impacts that. Mass production

Folks with the right combination of money and luck will weather a 3C rise just fine. It's not the end for humanity, hopefully it'll be a reminder to the survivors not to shit where you eat. The proliferation of plastic throughout

EV is relevant because all of the bricked Fisker cars are EVs. Nothing stopping something similar from happening to modern ICE vehicles. TFA doesn't say that all Fisker cars are bricked - It says that they become unusable do to minor

Inductive heating can be more efficient than resistive heating because less energy is lost to the environment.

Completely agree. I have a Circular Slim and the device itself is awesome and some of the data visualization is pretty good. I stopped wearing it because the app is so user hostile. The ring can't sync in the backround, so each time

> urban areas should have special 10 mph lower speed limits for SUV-sized vehicles This is such a good idea that I've never heard before. Are there any good blog posts ot whatever that explore it?

The only way a connected car would be cheaper is if money is made from the data sent over the connection. Clearly that's the case right now. Up-front NRE, per unit HW, perpetual cloud backend maintenance. There's a lot of cost t
