Yeah, I suffer from chronic pain, too, though not to the degree that you appear to. It's kind of funny because I know I'm really tired or mentally exhausted when I start noticing all the pain I normally have, but just haven't even noticed for hours before.

It's impressive what the mind can tolerate.

So not Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or even Trinidad and Tobago, it must be a flag from nearly a century ago, if you squint real hard, and ignore the extra stripes and the fact they're vertical instead of horizontal. It certainly can't be because of the esthetics of broad vertical stripes and that black and white go with anything, meaning you only have to coordinate with one color. Nah, that's unreasonable.

I heard it was due to greater blood flow to areas that routinely don't experience that level of flow, kind of like how you really notice the breeze on your face after you shave off your beard. Now, I don't have any proof this is it, but a month or so of regular brisk walks should be enough for your cardiovascular system to adapt to the new requirements, causing the sensation to vastly reduce if not disappear completely.

Heating/cooling works better with a heat sink, such as concrete. Water is also heavy, so laying it on top of the floor is far easier than suspending it from the ceiling. Also, in many places you will want to both heat and cool, and running heating and cooling in different locations costs up to twice as much. The easiest solution is to move the air, so fans do just fine.

My computer doesn't support Win11, so I have that going for me. Transitioning to the Steam Deck for my gaming, which has been a slow but mostly positive process. Some of the games don't play well outside of Windows, but none of the ones I really want to play, and I can always switch to my computer if I do.

I don't think I'll ever own a Win11 computer.

DIY vs. outsourcing. Your actions are still harming children.

A cogent argument. I'm convinced!

It's true you will never get rid of all of it but, just like crime, basic enforcement is a deterrence. They know who's buying, they know where they're shipped, they have a fair idea if they're returned. Just requiring reviews to be from purchasers after they've received the product, removing positive reviews for returns without replacement (or flagging them as returned), and a few other steps would make fake reviews either very expensive or very expensive for the results.

The fact is, Amazon makes most of their money on AWS, and I don't think they care to put in the real effort to make their marketplace trustworthy again. Without that, it will continue its downward spiral.
