Just a couple days ago, thinking about my cat that I had to put down ~6 months ago. He was sick and in pain but I'm still sad about it.
I don't think you need to push yourself to cry. Everyone processes their emotions differently. For a long time I also didn't cry much/at all. I was very guarded about my emotions. Between getting older and my wife, whom I can be completely open with, I have gotten more emotional as I have gotten older.
Most of the expanding foams are not waterproof or water resistant. You have to paint or caulk over them to prevent them from absorbing the water
If you are willing to work, many of the trades are hiring and having a hard time getting apprentices/helpers. If you can pass a basic algebra test, you can make it as an electrician.
The company I work for starts wages at $12+/hour with lots of overtime opportunities (including mandatory) and planned raises each year of your apprenticeship. I also know of a carpenter shop hiring helpers at $16+ because they can't get help.
Please don't feel like you have no path forward. You just have to look outside your comfort zone a little.
There are, unfortunately, many people who only get enjoyment out of other people's jealousy. They are proud that they have "good" insurance that covers everything, in the same way they are proud of their expensive house/car/boat/etc. If everyone has that thing, they aren't special and it isn't a cool toy because anyone could
If you are interested in woodworking there are 2 channels.
Stumpy Nubs -- provides quick (usually < 15 min) how to videos on different techniques and tricks. He does a great job of explaining and demonstrating things
Bourbon Moth - a lot of full build videos (they tend to be > 30 minutes), but he does a great job of explaining the whole process from start to finish
I would recommend against skipping lunch. Instead, adjust what you bring for your meal based on weather. I just worked all day yesterday in the sun and heat. For lunch, I brought light, easily digested food that would replenish without making me feel sick.
Blueberries and strawberries are great because they have nutrients and moisture. Fruits and veg tend to digest well, even in the heat. Hard-boiled eggs sit well with me and provide some nice protein. I also like the flavored tuna pouches with a few crackers.
I avoid food with a lot of fat/grease or dairy. Neither digests for me well and dairy even makes me feel sick in the heat.
The newer pesticides are designed to work as effectively as possible. Due to their effectiveness, a limited amount is required to be applied to the soil. The FDA approved organic pesticides aren't as effective. This requires additional applications and more being applied each time (vs the newer non-approved pesticides). More pesticides being applied means more runoff and possibility of contamination to streams and ground water. The soil can also be over saturated and be damaged by the increased concentration.
Thats really on whoever started saving them originally. Anything being saved like that should have a note attached stating why it is saved. I have some parts that need to be sent for repair and each of them has a note stating what is wrong, when it broke, and to contact me with questions.
As a licensed electrician, I am concerned that this is over your knowledge and experience level. Best advice is to hire an electrician.
There is information missing preventing me from giving you a complete answer.
My guess is you have either a 20amp 220volt or 30amp 220volt AC circuit. Unfortunately, that will not work for you. Both of those types of circuits consist of 2 hot wires and a ground wire. In order to run a 120v circuit, you need a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. Second, if it is a 30amo circuit, it is against the electrical code to put a 20amp or 15 amp receptacle on it.
That switch will not work for what you are trying to accomplish. IF you do have the correct power, just don't use the AC. If it isn't plugged in, it is not drawing any power.
I do a lot of casting from my desktop to the Chromecast connected to my TV. I have not been able to successfully cast from Firefox. I would love to find a solution though.
There's a lot of shitty "leather" belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather
You could go sturgeon spearing in Wisconsin. Cut a hole in the ice, stare at it while drinking for a week hoping a sturgeon swims past. Finally see one and have to guess which of the 3 sturgeon is the real one.
