Your tutorials were a huge influence on me as I began learning to code in my late 20’s and had a profound impact allowing me to start two companies and helped give me a toolset I didn’t have before. Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations. It’s an incredible endeavor to get anything launched, much more so given the context.

You can turn it off or run it less frequently.

My home has an air circulator that’s designed to pull in fresh air every hour.

As it’s drawn in it passes through a heat exchanger so the air coming in is nearly the same temperature as the air inside the house.

This means the house stays cool/warm without much addictions energy required.

I’m sure larger buildings have similar features but it’s a really great system to have if you find yourself building a new home.

OP mentioned that google is ending the free version, it makes sense to ask them why they don’t pay.

If the reason is because they want a free tier forever, that impacts the recommendation. If the reason is because they think google could shut you out, that may need a completely different recommendation.

Anyone looking for context of what it was like as a soldier fighting for the north in the Vietnam war, I highly recommend The Sorrow of War[0].

I read it in college in a Vietnam and the US History class and it was blown away.

This book, along with The Things They Carried[1] are worthwhile reads.

I was a migraine-per-year person as a kid and migraine-per-quarter person for much of my adult life.

I kept a food log and identified that a caffeine and chocolate combo to be a consistent trigger.

In addition if too bright of a light shined in my eyes(let’s say a car door shut and the sun reflected off of the door’s window as I looked at it) it would also trigger a migraine.

After working to limit those triggers I’ve found that I don’t get migraines much anymore. Adding in sumatriptan when they do come on has been helpful.

If you find yourself with migraine symptoms I definitely recommend trying to identify the triggers, food, stress or otherwise.

I’ve been wondering the same. I think of inducing heat/cold similar to turning a rusty spigot. The first few turns are difficult but the more you do it the easier it gets.

But do spigots in other parts of your body get turned that are also rusty, so to speak?

I notice cold/hot showers help my body regulate my temperature better, generally.

I’m an American getting single-payer health care through the Veterans Administration in the US.

My first appointment was in 2007 and there was such a concern that vets would be ignored the way they were after Vietnam that the pendulum swung the other way.

I’d typically not wait more than 48 hrs for an appointment, I had no copays, prescriptions/bloodwork covered 100%, physical therapy when I got injured, etc.

As a transitioned veteran in college with no insurance it was a dream.

Now that I have private insurance through work, I only keep it for my family, and I continue to use the VA for all of my healthcare.

It’s not perfect and wait times in places need to improve but for the most part, if you need help, you get it.

On 9/11 I was a junior in high school. I joined the US Army in 2003 at 18 and served in the Rangers.

I had a deployment to Afghanistan in 2004 and three to Iraq(2005, 2006 x 2).

I’m 35 now and the wars are finally near an end. Had I had kids younger, they could have been deployed in the same war.

Roughly 7,000 Americans were killed, 50k+ wounded, not to mention then hundreds of thousands of men, women and children killed.

I’m glad the GWOT era is coming to an end and hope we can learn from all the mistakes we made along the way.
