Sadly it's missing Ikea one. They are cheap and most importantly, use AAA standard batteries instead of the coin cell type.

Ikea selle rechargable ones for really cheap additionally.

I've been using a nice one for over a year now.

But my main sadness is I can't leave food on the cooktop to cleanup later. Imagine water boils over, suddenly I have to start cleaning cooktop in the middle of cooking. Gas might be extinguished but I can restart and deal with it later once I'm finished cooking.

I'm not a professional cook.

I miss gas stove over the induction because:

1. I have visual indicatation on how hot it is. The numbers is just not so good indicator.

2. I miss trashing pans around, specially when managin multiple things at once. Glass induction would not be able to withstand it. So suddenly I have to be gentle with machinery.

3. God forbid I spill something in the middle of cooking on induction. Suddenly I have to try to cleanup a hot glass and manage the whole mess. Gas, because it was raised, cleanup could be done later once food prep was over.

4. I'f there is powerloss (hi wars and other stuff) I don't really care. I used to run propane tanks 11kg, no pipes, refilled once-twice a year.

I have somewhat smart TV, though bought couple of years back. It is not getting on the internet, it's only job is to receive signal over HDMI. I don't ever interact with its menus or other buttons expect power and volume, it stays on HDMI and is quite nice dumb TV.

It felt a bit like paid article from the ads team.

Just a though - if I need ads to remind me to buy something with the next salary, maybe I don't need it enough and it's ADHD talking not me. If I need it enough I will come to the same conclusion later independently. At least that's the way at how I try to control my impulsiveness with online shopping.

1. You can have friend at your place nearby playing computer games or something else. Just there incase you panic or have issues. They should read up a bit before. Basically they are there to tell you that, example, you get anxiety, that you are fine and what you are feeling is not real and let go.

2. If no one is around stat with super low dose first time. And grow from there over months if you are scared. You'll understand after low dose what's coming and thank yourself later.

2. You can not have any and I mean any plans for that day. Not even I'll have to take the trash out in the evening, seriously. Turn the phone to airplane so no one can call and block messages. You do not want anything that requires functioning human from you. You could do that but it will ruin your time.

4. Outside - no matter how cozy your home is do it in your country house or somewhere where you are alone and feel safe, have a fallback house or place but still in nature. Dunno, rent something.

I still prefer strongly two monitors over one big for work and programming but! The content must be one. It's either result in one screen and code in other or reference email in one and code in other etc. Two monitors is a way to go, if the content is the same.

No messengers/YouTubes or anything unrelated open in any screens constantly. Phone behind monitor or somewhere away where I can't see it.

Well maybe so when you don't die, you are not having pstd of the near death experience and can continue living normally?

Maybe it's nothing to do with dying but more to be mentally stable if you don't die?

How is 50-90€ not a "bit of money" for a dongle already?

How does your comment help?

YT premium still doesn't give all the Vance's features. I can buy premium and still use Vanced for features that YouTube does not offer.

Or maybe I don't support YouTube adding ads to unmonetized videos? Or is it my way to fight back, how they roll over small creators to trolls?

Seems legit. I think they think it's a warning shot, they are now on Google's list. This letter is a "nice" way of saying - guys well you are now on our list and shut down or well force you to shut down.

Smart play, rather end on a high note, without months and months of C&Do letters and axety and stress. Learn and move on.

I think most of EU countries your total tax burden is already 50% of what employer pays. Mostly we don't see that part and only talk about what employer has to pay that is less than 50%

But even some countries at certain brackets have the only income tax part over 50%.

So flat 50% of total tax burden would not be unheard of.

Half a year to a year depending on usage. We use these 11kg tanks we get on any gas station for as long as I remember.

No fuzz with running extra big wires for stove.
