Apply some heat to the bolt with a tiny tiny torch to hopefully not damage the aluminum nearby? Should help release the threadlocker.

How many torques are on that?

Ideas:

• Weld a nut onto the top of it. Should be able to accomplish this with a MIG and a steady hand
• Cut a slot in the top with a rotary tool cutting wheel, use a large manual impact driver to crack it, or a dull chisel/flat punch and a hammer to tap it around (clearance might be an issue here)
• Rotary tool again, cut faces on two sides, locking pliers, turn them with channel locks
• Rotay tool yet again, cut faces on six sides, hammer a possibly sacrificial six point socket on it

Hard to tell sometimes, what with this being The Internet.

Beef milk.

Also the slavery.

There’s a difference between that and thinking you’re on to a philosophical secret while being blind to the all the time living conditions of almost every human being.

Fucking brains, they can suck. That's depression. I've dealt with it my whole life, and only just recently got to a level where I'm pretty okay most of the time. For me, what ended up being effective was therapy, finally getting and staying on medication.

I don't want you to have to deal with this for the decades I did. Find a doctor. Start with your GP if you need to. It's going to be hard to find mental health care, and even when you do, it's going to be hard to keep them on your case. The first, or second, or third person you find might not be the one for you. They might just stop returning your calls.

Once you do get the right person, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. You need to talk and think through your issues; they're going to guide you through that process and prompt you as appropriate. This is addressing your most difficult troubles, shit you've been avoiding. Not any fun at all, but necessary.

Something you can do right now is recognizing thought processes you don't want, and consciously correcting yourself. Example: I was raised to be fairly racist. In my early 20s, I finally decided I didn't want that for myself anymore. So when I found myself thinking things about passers-by that I recognized were leftover from my childhood, I purposefully reminded myself - sometimes out loud - "That's a person just like I am, doing person things, just like I am." I know this sounds like Stuart Smalley "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me", but I am telling you that it can work. It's effort, and it means you have to actually address those unwanted thoughts right in the moment, but please try it.

If the kids can't see the horrors of war [crimes], they're more likely to be convinced of being participants.

Well clearly it's "stand in front of a fan in your well-appointed and most certainly air conditioned livingroom."

I see mod tools. I just posted a test thread and comment in same, was able to delete those with mod tools. While those mod delete actions did work, I don't see those actions in the mod log (yet).

I saw! Experiments!
