The are pre-Covid trends here for sure, but Covid supercharged them.

This is dead accurate.

Does the left hand side of this diagram resonate for this person? My son thinks it does for him. And that it does for me. I can see that.
If so I'd guess that constant practice to overcome the intrinsic tendencies would really be the only way.

Nice! Central Texas has wimped out on snow. Pathetic!

That was a widespread problem in Texas in the grid meltdown of Feb 2021. No battery backup and the power cos didn't even know which circuits had water plants on them. A large fraction of the state lost water for several days.
Here's my granddaughter shoveling snow to use for flushing toilets ...

Only way that works reliably: go to telehealth, tell them you have a +ve Covid test using a screenshot from the web, fill the Rx and stockpile it. There is NO other reliable way to ensure you hit that small time window.
That won't work for you right now, but maybe it will be useful for somebody.

Right now I'm taking our cats from CA to TX one at a time, then 3rd trip with wife, because she can't handle fighting the cats to sedate and then traveling all in one day. The things we do for love, right?
That pic is of our forlorn baby boy in TX today, abandoned by everyone except my loyal son

Thinking about that myself. Wife has cut my hair for years but now her ME/CFS has gone to mod/sev, we'd have to do a haircut in like 3 x 10-minute episodes. We're trying it this time but in general doesn't seem worth the spoons. I'd much rather she spends her energy petting cats.

Thank you for this. LC seems to be an area particularly suited to your approach.
I don't see in your thread any discussion of the use of poorly studied and possibly dangerous off-label medications which is occurring. (I have an axe to grind there.) Maybe there are wise words in the paper.

I don't get it. You're an interesting writer, some of your stuff I agree with, some I disagree. But why do you elicit all these extreme and obviously irrational reactions from people?
