4h 40m in midwinter, 20h 20m in midsummer :D (plus nearly permanent twilight) - i suppose that might work if i was a bear that hibernates (and i believe the bears are right about this).

Find something outside of tech field eventually (currently employed but getting increasingly tired of staring at various sorts of slop, and where the field is headed), if nothing at all pans out, find a rock cut i can drive into.

Let computers stay a hobby, where it started, on my own terms.

(mid 40s, no family, 20+ years exp, System Admin + coding, including some embedded stuff back in the day + some performance work, but mostly admin -> now Security Engineer)

And vice versa, struggled with years and years of depression in the past, and teetering on the edge of it on and off since, whilst having good grip strength.

I think it is insane, perhaps i did not specify that explicitly in the first comment.

Some roads? Just one ferry has it during summer.

Medical expenses? Public healthcare, but there are per-visit costs in the 20€ range, somewhat more for hospital stays, maximum per year 815€, after that they become free.

People often have employer-provided private healthcare on top of that though, including me.

For prescription medicines there is a 636€ limit per year (after 70€ per year the cost of the medication starts being reimbursable even before that), after that any medication costs 2.5€ per purchase.

To me having tolls on roads or bridges sounds completely insane (we don't have them here, other than one ferry during summer), taxes are already supposed to pay for those (and if they started doing that here, you can be 100% certain that no tax would be lowered in compensation).

Was worried it would be worse, all i get from it is that stuff with a lot of fats might cause more frequent visits to the bathroom (something one might not want to eat anyway all that often), before i could not eat a slice of pizza without an attack.

YMMV, people are individuals.

~18 hour gallbladder attack where i could not keep any liquids in made me consider bashing my head into the wall next to my bed until i pass out.

(No longer have a gallbladder, thankfully.)

I truly wish i could get everything to use the ticking clock one at 1Hz (or maybe 0.5) for spinners, animation in user interfaces causes me anguish in general, so i have to go around filtering them on webapps.

As a quick kludge use an USB-C wlan network adapter that lacks the functionality for this type of connection (albeit that won't help you with a cellular connection)?

Also the speedruns for that game contain absolutely hilarious mechanics, like throwing the gas grenade to get the door opened faster at UNATCO HQ.
