“We will say anything, do anything, just so that we do not have to consider the problem. We will spend hours, days, years looking for reasons to justify our lives and even invent them if none are readily available.”

135. We Will Do Anything
We will do anything to avoid the problem. We will devise countless means of escaping confrontation. We will put up walls. We will isolate ourselves. We will do whatever we must to limit meaningful contact with the other.Fragmentarium

"In Columbus, for example, households on the standard plan of the local utility began paying about $20 more a month as of June — or $240 a year — because of the demand from data centers, according to a calculation based on figures from an independent monitor overseeing the region’s energy auctions and the local utility, AEP Ohio."

Trump Went Down a Deranged Rabbit Hole During His Meeting With the European Commission President
Weren’t they supposed to be talking about a trade deal?Charles P. Pierce (Esquire)
I might accidentally bought 7 more magazines from a local retro shop, alongside some really cheap PS2 and Wii games. 😅
PS. If I don't post much or reply a bit late, I'm having a bit of trouble adapting to my glasses.
Can't have an all in one pair as my eyes wouldn't be able to adjust to the massive change right now.
Heck, I couldn't even get the full prescription strength that I theoretically would need...
And I can see why.
While I've more or less adjusted to my reading glasses now, so my laptop and everything else has its normal shape again and doesn't seem to be melting at the lower right side anymore like it did the first 3 days.
My regular ones still give me lots of trouble, especially when moving around.
When looking down, the floor has a steep slope to the right as well as behind me, so that's not optimal. 😅
But when I get a message, I can't even read the screen now anymore without my reading glasses, or by squinting really hard.
So I tend to not use my phone much at all now.
Well, he told me the adjustment would be challenging, that's why I can't get the prescription I actually need until at last a year from now. As things would be too warped to be able to adjust to them.
My experience with my reading glasses seem to be stabilising, unless I'm just out of bed, in which case, things are again a bit slanted.
But they tend to get better after half an hour already.
So that makes me think it'll just be a longer process.
Haven't used my normal glasses as much, since I've been doing a lot of magazine work on the laptop since this is my last week of summer break.
So when I put those on, while it's definitely a lot better than last week, it still doesn't feel like it should at all.
Gonna take time to adapt.
