Kurzgesagt covered it nicely.

Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.

We used to be. The rules changed about 10 years ago.

A lot of big appliances require higher power. Dishwashers, clothes dryers, fridges.

Some powers tools, drill press, plainer.

I never worry about load splitting,.

The benefit of the AS/NSZ plug, is that it isn’t much bigger than the US plug, but has a higher power density.

Because the soul is corrupted in the process.

It is a bit silly.

But the reason is; the faithful are the prize. The unfaithful are already damned; why would the demons bother with those already going to hell?

I’m a lifelong atheist; it is all just superstition; but the logic is not flawed in this case.

Well, he looks like a guy that can get things done!

Simply the best

I can charge my electric car from a standard outlet. Can add 20kWh overnight, which is plenty for 3 days round town driving.

230V at 15A on a standard outlet, plug only slightly larger than the American one.

I call this the curtain; when I imagine something, like a tree, I can’t see the tree. But it is still there; just like it is behind a black curtain, no images from the tree can be seen.

Yep…me for 40 years; that is just a metaphor to help think about things. Then one day reading about aphantasia…WTF!!!people can actually see, it’s not just a metaphor.

But then I had a conversation with my partner; she can combine flavors in her mind and know, pretty accurately, what stuff will taste like; it is one reason she loves cooking.

People can actually get a song stuck in their heads…again, not a metaphor.

Mind blown!!!

My 7yo can project images from his mind into the world; what the hell. He can “watch” movie when looking at the wall when he is in bed going to sleep; with the sounds and everything.

I am a 5 on this scale, and for all other senses. No smell, sound, touch or taste either.

So yea; it when I say my inner monologue is pretty much my whole thought process.

It totally blew my mind; when I realized others could see actual images in their heads.

The no inner monologue thing still boggles me. Considering my point of view; where it is all of my inner self.

This one I find difficult to comprehend.

My inner monologue is petty much my entire thought process. How does one think and rationalise without one?

I play DnD with a lot of theatre or the mind. I’m a 5 (also 5 with all other mental sensors).

It isn’t to hard, you just remember the description, the detail and context.

If the story is engaging, it is easy.

I’m a big fan of story, some writers rely too much on imagery, great writers story transcends the imagery.

E.g. I can’t stand Tolkien, too much time describing (for me) pointless visual detail. Love Pratchett’s work, the story and subtext are amazing.

I’m like a leaf on the wind, see how I soar.

Got nothing to do with being humanoid.

Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.

Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

Quintin Tarantino is a hack.

Other than Pulp Fiction, none of his movies any good.

I had terrible insomnia as a late teen/early 20’s guy.

What “fixed” it for me was rock climbing (indoor sports walls). It’s both physically and mentally challenging. When you are climbing you are focused on the climb and noting else. The exercise helps tire you out and gives you a boost in endorphins when you a done.

I’m still a very light sleeper 20 years later; but I rarely get less than 5 hours a night these days.

I still climb once a week.

The root cause of my insomnia was rumination; I literally couldn’t stop thinking about all the stuff happening. Rock climbing forced my mind to focus on something productive the exercise helped tire my body out so that it was ready for sleep. Getting both body and mind ready for sleep helped so much.

This is my experience; I hope it can give you some help.

Teal’c is that you.

Miss, your shirt has a slur on it. Which one is it? Um, it’s all of them.

“Oh I know, I’m satirizing the propensity of westerners wearing clothes with words on them they don’t understand”

“But, but, they are all terrible slurs, doesn’t that make you a bad person? You could have picked any random shit!”

“Yes, but then you wouldn’t have said anything, I get much more of a reaction this way” (thinking smugly, I am so smart)

I’m probably in better shape now, than when I was in my late 20’s and defiantly in my 30’s.

I go rock climbing once a week. And general running around with my 3 boys… For the exercise part.

But about 90% out the improvement is, I have a way better diet. If you can’t identify it by eye, severely limit how much of it you eat.

If you can’t confidently state “hey, that is a bit of broccoli” or “that’s beef mince” etc…don’t eat much of it.

Fruit, vegetables, meat, spices, simple grains, rice… Keep your ingredients simple, it will pay dividends in health long term.
