They killed Data in that Star Trek movie and it's been just a shadow of itself after that. Even bringing him back (kind of) in Picard didn't do it for me. i will never fully forgive them.
I've had friends die and I still dream about them from time to time, as if it had never happened. Death sucks.
Maybe I'm immature or fundamentally out of touch with mortality but I don't take it well. Yes sure maybe there's salvation in suffering or whatever but I find very little art/positives in losing someone you have feelings for.

How many beans are we talking at once? I think it's a cumulative effect.

You can absolutely hurt yourself sprinting in a way that you can't from distance running. My running club definitely sees an uptick in injuries during track work cycles. Be sure to build in plenty of rest and don't escalate too quickly.

Do you have any recommendations for gas station/convenience store/hospital cafeteria food that might be less bad?
I'm guessing the bad here means lots of high energy convenience food plus very little opportunity to do the exercise necessary to mitigate the badness.
Not to sound very cliche and I feel like a ditto head even mentioning it but try minimizing simple carb intake. They're high energy and not very satiating so they can promote weight gain, but they also spike your blood sugar and if you're not working hard it leads to insulin resistance. If a Big Mac is your only option try removing the bun kind of stuff.

Whenever I read about how stuff is made in factories it's always like, two orders of magnitude harder than I was expecting.
Metal casings for artillery? Surely you just kind of sprinkle a truck load of metal chips into a hopper and they automatically melt into cubes oh and also you upload a sketch to a CNC router and out pop the casings on the other side right? You just need the delivery driver to drop them off and wait 45 minutes for the casings to be ready and then they load them up?
No? Huh.

Sorry if you answered this already but what's your deadlift progression like? I'm at 1.6x body weight and had to really fight to get it off the ground for the last workout. I do 3 sets of 5, once a week. Should I back off to 85% and climb back up? Should I add a high rep lower weight workout mid week?

Could someone steelmom killing your own kids for me?
I'm pretty sure my kids are like 83%ile for being ornery aggravating shitheads but I still can't possibly imagine killing them and would kill myself first if I ever thought stuff like that.
Do kids have room to be 100x more infuriating and aggravating? And some people really are cursed with kids like that? Would that totally warp my values? Are there women actually putting up with kids that shitty? Is there any evidence Clancy's kids were really shitty?

Can you ping your online correspondents and ask them why Arday was singled out for lynching while Cambridge has other black professors who seem to have perfectly normal academic careers?
The principled defense goes something like this: Arday was an extraordinary person who was overly scrutinized for being black. Sure he embellished his achievements and did some light academic misconduct, but not any more than any other successful white person. If you think he doesn't deserve to be a Cambridge professor you clearly haven't met any other Cambridge professors or are a racist. The scrutiny and hatred directed at him for invading a white space was over the top and led to his discrediting, resignation and suicide. He was just guy dealt a tough hand in life who succeeded despite adversity and it made some racists absolutely crazy.
Rowling on the other hand succeeded despite adversity as well, but then after becoming a famous white billionaire, used her position to punch down against a persecuted minority group. She is justly being attacked but is still alive and a billionaire so you can't even complain.
(btw black Cambridge professors exist but why let that get in the way of a story)
Is it a sign of the polar opposite of depression if I'm starting to fixate on every spec of lint or dust or schmutz in my house and car? I'll vacuum and sweep and it'll look nice, for an hour. Then I'll spot a new bit of fuzz or whatever on something and get the urge to clean it again and have to convince myself to leave it alone for a few days.
