Calories as a concept is bunk science. It was since the beginning. A better generalization is "garbage in, garbage out" (qualitative).
I have through medication and 8d audio. The magic mixture for me is Vitamin D, Curcumin for anti-inflamation, vyvanse for adhd, and well-butrin for adhd and depression. YMMV, wellbutrin I feel has been the most important addition to the mix. I also feel I ebb/flow and some of my issues stem from long-covid from 2020. I still have days where I totally freak myself out by having an existential brain fart. I'm 43, but it literally feels alzheimerish where I'll be driving in a familiar place and nothing looks familiar at all, or I even feel like I forgot how to drive for a minute. Just total oblivion of ego, I guess. It happened a LOT more in 2020, but once in awhile it happens.

ChatGPT: Harvard College Dean Calls on Students to Avoid ‘Shortcuts’
The easier approach to try first is just to plant it on the shady side of something that grows tall. Mine did much better this year mulched and growing in the shadow of tomatoes, cucumbers etc.

I also confirmed that I've got too much sun for my cucumbers, and that they do better with some shade.

I suspect you're hotter than Philadelphia though.
I'm on a similar path, maybe a couple steps ahead. I have a disease which caused constant severe pain from ages 12-29 (currently 31 y/o). I wanted to die for my entire adult life. 2 years ago I started an elimination diet which dramatically reduced my pain. So I know everyone says this, but controlling diet and other substance intake (alcohol, cigs) is a really big deal.

I also started microdosing mushrooms a year ago. I know you said you tried psychedelics, but I don't know if you've tried microdosing; Before I tried it, I always thought it was ridiculous and kind of an abuse/waste of psychedelics. But I like to say that the mushrooms are teaching my brain how to feel good: Maybe they repair connections in the brain or whatever, but I just needed to kick-start having a good day, so my brain could have an example of how that works.

Another major step was finding a new community...My experience is that when you're depressed, people come to expect it from you. Even if you're in a particularly good mood one day, your friends and family will kind of prompt you to act depressed. They do it out of love, probably, but it makes it that much harder to break the pattern.

One more piece, which may or may not be appropriate for you, is utilizing sex workers. Having trauma and pain, it was always a shitty experience for me to seek physical comfort. If you aren't ashamed of it, paying for affection can be a great way to meet your needs in a simple, non-judgemental way that's less emotionally and physically draining.
I just gave a pair to my mom who uses hearing aids.

highly problematic also for the agencies collecting the taxes.

it's odd that you focus on "growing carrots" is wasteful when if you got rid of lawns and golf courses in the desert you'd immediately save enough water to fix the problem in this article. at least when you grow carrots you have a product. a suburban lawn produces nothing whatsoever.

suburbia is, in it's current form, far more wasteful of water and also produces far less carrots. but far more tax revenue.
7-8 years ago I got one of those Leesa online mattresses, based on checking out all the different mattresses, it seemed to be the one that was closest to a latex-like experience without being latex priced. My wife was still having some pain so we ended up putting a ~3" latex topper on it. It's been a great mattress. I'll agree that a mattress that is comfortable is a worthy investment.
I share this perspective. I don't have acute trauma behind my anxiety and depression, but I have been through periods of poor self-care wrapped up with those states, and I relate to OP. Exercise, sleep, nutrition, and spending time with even just one person who likes you are pillars of (mental) health, and without them, all the other tools (meditation, psychedelics, therapy) don't seem to have much leverage.
Anyone who packs multiple values into a single string hates the world and possibly themselves.

Animal intelligence is vastly underplayed. Ants seem to be a very intelligent creature but they're little more than part of nature to us. We're similarly adapted to our environment, and those animals are adapted to our patterns and mentation by virtue of millennia of close contact / purposeful genetic pushes (eg, dogs)

medicine has been a big factor for me, but I noticed when I started the meds especially (wellbutrin was added to my vyvanse regimen in June), that I was going to bed at the same time and waking up at 8am, I'm a night owl so this is real weird, but since then I've drifted back to old habits, and the meds seem to be less effective, but I guess in retrospect maybe it's just having a better structured day has a lot more bearing than I give it credit for.

I've learned to enjoy particularly robotic TTS narrations because after a while it becomes associated with my internal voice, and it feels like I'm "reading" the book versus elaborately produced audiobooks that are experiencially closer to enjoying a show. And feel less hesitation about listening at 3x speed. With practice, I can start layering on personality to different characters with neutral TTS voices.

Directly connecting these blinds to my Home Assistant instance via the ZHA integration and a HUSBZB-1 Zigbee/ZWave stick[0] works pretty well. I've got 8 of them around my house, and some automations to open/close with the sun, etc.

Only small issues I've identified are that 1) Zigbee meshing doesn't seem to behave with these, so you'll have to pair the blinds directly to your hub. This is fine, as long as your place is small enough for there to be no signal quality issues. And 2) if Home Assistant instructs the blinds to open to a specific position (i.e. "80% closed") rather than fully open or fully closed, it can take a really long time for the blinds to update the hub with their state. This means they show as "opening" in the HA UI even though they're finished moving.

Ah yes, the "advertiser's gigabyte". Sort of like a "baker's dozen" but in reverse.
The term of the lease isn't materially longer than 12 months. (Mine actually is >12 mo, but not by a whole lot.) But at the end of the (say) 12 months, you sign the next lease, for another (say) 12 months, or move out. (The rent invariably goes up, at this point.)

It's at those individual lease boundaries that I (rather technically) have the opportunity to go month-to-month, if I want to be bled dry.

My note about it being a 3+ year lease is the total time we've rented, consecutively. That the lease is broken into separate segments by the contract is an implementation detail, when discussing recovering the costs of / managing the risk of short-term tenants. I'm not a short term tenant, after having been here for that long.

> a landlord refusing to allow a lease to go month-to-month is illegal.

That's news to me! I've never lived in such a place, and boy would that be nice. A cursory Google search indicates that, in my jurisdiction, "allows the landlord or tenant to end a month-to-month lease at any time, as long as they give 30 days' notice". The state I lived in previously is the same.

(This is where the nuance of "what the lease actually says" meets the "how it is implemented".) Technically, my lease becomes month-to-month at the end of its lease period. To my landlord, not signing a new lease would result in (their, legally speaking) 30 days notice to move out. (They've made this somewhat apparent to us in the past, as they tend to not send out the new terms soon enough and then get antsy when they're not signed.) They want the increased rent, and it appears they'll get it from me, or the market.

Compiling to JS doesn't solve the problem because the language (JS) isn't the problem. The problem is the browser and its inadequacy for building applications in many areas - lots of APIs that are not fit for purpose as well as simiarly inadequate protocols.

This environment is additionally hostile to compilation - TypeScript had to bring some really amazing type system features to the table to get most engineers to reluctantly accept the headaches of compilation for the browser.

ES6 Modules, HTTP/2 and sourcemaps were supposed to fix these issues to some extent and all of them created major new headaches instead. Its like there is something fundamentally broken about the browser that we don't fully understand, successfully sabotaging all solutions we come up with.

The JS ecosystem is the furthest ahead in making this broken environment barely usable with a bunch of hacks to compensate for its shortcomings - a new language will need to fight hard to get close.

Your math isn't really accurate though, is it? you say 7 homes uses 1,008,000 gallons and then you eliminate 50% of that usage because it's for 'pools and landscaping' - but homes have pools and landscaping, so you can't just ignore that usage.

Using your numbers, it sounds like the rule of thumb should be that an acre of carrots uses 1/2 as much water as an acre of tract homes, no?

I quite honestly did not think of it this way. But it makes some sense. I always thought cells perform, for lack of a better term, self-maintenance operations independently from their macro function (the receiving and emitting of spikes, in this case). I did not think of the internal operations of a cell being connected to the macro function in any sophisticated or meaningful way. I would love to inform myself better on this topic since it is not by area of expertise, and I have an admittedly cursory understanding.

A friend/acquaintance of mine who lives a few miles from me built a setup based on this, here in southern Ontario. It's pretty neat. Big tubes into the ground and fans to run into/out of them to circular air from ground heat storage.

Ended up costing him quite a bit to build even though he did a lot of the work himself. But he does have a full season growing setup though, and a swimming pool in there. Not sure how much if any supplemental heating he uses; but he's got various citrus, bananas, etc. growing.

This one isn't so interesting, as it's super easy to generate `e` in lots of different ways (such as the limit the expression is approximating). `e` is a very low-kolmogorov-complexity constant. The error term in the integral, on the other hand, has no apparent reason to be.
> But for future interplanetary colonization, the rule would become one light month. Not very far. But imagine any form of communication taking years to bounce back and forth. That could not be centrally governed. It might not just be travel time, but it probably does correlate.

The rule seems too simplistic. What's so special about 1 month? Is the significant value time to communicate, time to move military forces, or something else?

For instance, for your hypothetical interplanetary empire: How could a capital, with a military that can move at 1% light speed, effectively rule over a colony one light month away if the worst it could do for ten years is send a nasty letters over radio? Having local forces isn't a good answer, because one of the easier paths to rebellion is for the leader(s) those forces to declare independence and make themselves kings.
