Wd40 isnt a lubricant. It’s a cleaner. It works for a very short time as a lubricant.
Most people do think it’s a lubricant, mostly because wd40 marketing plus it will technically lubricate in the short term. And sometimes cleaning will fix the problem.
A simple 3-in-1 oil will last. It’s an actual high viscosity lubricant.

Quick Google scholar search.
I was under the impression most scientific minded people were aware of this.
There are YouTube videos spreading awareness of infrasound. It’s a common talking point about the hazards of data centers.
And fracking.
Which also creates it.

Well infra sound isnt audible but does damage the body.
Sort of how radiation is invisible but still damaged the body. And takes a while to show.
It works very similarly in infrasound except it’s a different kind of damage.
It’s known to cause cardiovascular damage and organ damage as well as dizziness and damage to hearing organs and vestibular system.

Pretty much why I avoid discord except for using for group voice for multiplayer games.
I figured I must be too old or something because I can barely figure out how to navigate all the channels or how to even join a group. Every time I need to I have to re look up tutorials.
Why so complicated?
I just wanted to find people to do Pokemon go raids with.
10 years later I still can barely use discord

People don’t like ai because it’s plagiarism and data centers are fast track destroying the world. AI is also being used for mass surveillance.
AI is stagnation. It is literally the end of innovation.
It can’t innovate. It can only regurgitate.
And now it’s regurgitating its own regurgitation.
No one hates AI because they are scared of progress and innovation.
People don’t like it because it’s the opposite.

It’s a product of lazy thinking.
Instead of evaluating people on an individual basis it’s categorizing them based on some physical trait. That has nothing to do with their behavior or personality.
This is why bigotry is the game of the lazy thinkers.
Lazy thinkers are not intelligent because to foster intelligence one must delve into things. Consider things. Contemplate how things work.
Not just accept crude rules because it’s easy.
This trait is called. Need for cognition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_cognition
It’s highly correlated with intelligence.

Neurodivergent has literally nothing to do with your pancreas.
Type 1 diabetes is not genetic. It’s caused by a few things but basically your body has damaged your pancreas from an auto immune reaction at some point.
Type 2 diabetes is usually caused from being overweight or a combination of genetics and being overweight.
- Comment on time to eat 1 week ago:
Neurodivergent is cognitive and psychological.
If you shake from anxiety that’s one thing.
But getting the shakes from skipping a meal or two is not normal. It means your body is not able to respond appropriately to your system needs. Nothing to do with neurodivergent. It’s a medical situation.
Tests for diabetes are easy and cheap. Any general doctor can do it.
People can become diabetic from autoimmune disorders. It’s not based on being healthy. Anyone can get it.
Untreated diabetes can result in some very serious situations including coma and death. But even less immediate problems from diabetes can long term damage to eyes, increased risk of infection, especially in the legs and feet resulting in gangrene, and a host of other problems.
When people know their health status they can manage their condition and reduce these risks. Ignoring serious health issues because “I’m neurodivergent” is unwise.
Adhd doesn’t make you shake from skipping meals either.
It’s caused from the wrong balance of insulin and sugar glucose in your system. And potentially early signs of ketoacidosis. diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/dka
It’s very serious.
Just check with a doctor. As I said it’s a cheap and easy test. It’s not normal to get the shakes from even going without food for days.
That’s not how our bodies are supposed to work. Shakes are a very serious indicator something is wrong.
There are other causes that aren’t diabetes but it’s one of the most common and easy to test for.

I honestly thought the weather was 10/10.
I don’t know if all Americans would agree but firstly. I like the rain.
Welsh rain isn’t like rain where I’m from though. I don’t think I never saw flash floods or big storms the whole year I was there. Drizzle mostly. Or that rain I was told was called “spitting” . A fair name for it.
The temperature didn’t fluctuate very much. Which is mostly why I liked it. The coldest of winter was just slightly below freezing. Only lasting a few weeks. Here. We get two months where the temp sits in the 0s to negative farenheight. (-17c to -26c).
With wind-chill making it incredibly cold. And it gets so dry here.
Welsh winters are moist. I actually didnt know that was possible.
Here the summer months from July to end of September hang high and humid. High 90s to 105f (35-40c) before finally dropping off.
In Swansea I think there was maybe 2 weeks it was just hitting 90f (35c). July I think.
But apparently that’s changing.
But yeah we literally see almost 0% humidity and 0f degrees in the winters. To 100f degrees in summer with 100% humidity.
So you can see why I thought Welsh weather was so much better in comparison to U.S Midwest weather.
No blizzards. No tornados or crazy storms. Humidity mostly the same all year.
I mean it’s almost intolerable to be outside for almost 5 months of the year here.

Swansea university. Although the one in Cardiff was decent.
I went to the UK to get my master’s because I couldn’t afford one in the U.S.
Easily $120,000 here. 2 year degree.
Welsh one was $8k for 12 months. (Plus living expenses of around 35k.)
Still way less.
It was fast paced but I learned a lot. Did a lot. Wrote like 6 or 7 papers plus a thesis. 8 experiments.
I chose Swansea based on cost/benefit. They had the type of program I wanted.
I had considered scotland but worried I would have trouble with the accent. Boy… I only knew 1 Welsh person and he did not speak like most Welsh. I had a very hard time understanding native non-university Welsh people.
When I came back I applied to one university for a PhD and got in with my experience and credentials from that university. So was worth it.
Plus I’m from rural Midwest.
It felt about the same living there. Quiet. Mostly peaceful. Not too expensive.
Occasionally I would hear a group of drunk men leaving the pub, singing out my window.
I quite enjoyed this because that’s not how drunk men in the US behave.
I also very much love Welsh cakes. Can’t say I liked too much of the traditional cuisine. But the Welsh cakes made up for it.

Absolutely. It’s not something new nor caused by something new.
But trump has cut a lot of green laws for data centers. And power plants.
And the sheer amount of additional heat and power consumption these data centers that are running, are using is insane. Akin to adding another few states worth of power and pollution in a span of a few years.
Of course that much additional heat and green house gasses makes a difference. I mean, my understanding is we are probably already past the point of fixing it.
The best we can do is completely stop green house gasses now and hope the extreme consequences only last a few hundred years.
But trump and these data centers are currently undoing all of the progress that has been made (here in the U.S anyway).
Not that much progress was made. But there were corporate interest efforts.
I mean let’s be real. The epa regulations were still absurd before Trump cut them, and they never fine anyone even though it sure seems like literally every company has been lying about meeting those restrictions.
