Are you me? ๐Ÿ˜… I haven't been able to work for 4 years because I burnt out so hard working in politics, a field I loved.

I agree with a lot of what the author said, but sort of feel like they could do some more work on not feeling pressure from neurotypical society? I recently finished reading "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price and really found it helpful in this regard.

I'm not sure if this is backed by research but my therapist has said that CBT isn't very effective for autistic folks.

It wasn't very helpful at all with my precious therapist so it checks out anecdotally for me.

LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you're probably fine keeping them plugged in.

You're right about not going under 20% often, but you'll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.

Edit: Please make sure you're looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won't apply.

"We have reached our limit," Galhotra said. "We have actually stretched ourselves to get to this point. We're still working to get this done. We're open to moving some money around within the deal that might fit the union's needs better. But broadly speaking, as to the overall cost, we're there already."

Bullshit. You can fucking afford everything they're demanding. Solidarity with the workers!

Hmm if only there were something other than a massive tower that caused environmental issues and a single family home ๐Ÿค”

Nope! And yet they try to sell it as an open system lmao

They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation ๐Ÿ˜… There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn't use it in the same way you can on other platforms.

Apple: only implements a proprietary graphics API

Also Apple: Why does no one make games for my platform??

Yeah, I've heard this one is particularly bad. It's broadly fine but it is definitely slower than the one in my old OnePlus 7 Pro.

I paid $250 for the phone refurbished so I have a hard time complaining too much.

Still disappointing that it isn't using a proper IR illuminator. Apple's Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn't take up that much space. I've adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

Good thing the Volt has a really well-designed battery that you'll basically never need to replace. The management system babies those cells.

There's a reason people love crashed volts for DIY battery storage and EV conversions.
