Argh, that sucks.

So why can't I read them for free too?

I can. Don't you have libraries in your country?

I was told that the trick is to not have the egg in its shell.

Take a cup, fill it one third with water, then crack your egg in the cup. Now it can't build up pressure, it can't explode.

It microwaved without exploding. As I took it out of the microwave, it exploded. It went everywhere. The floor, the ceiling, every cabinet door. I count myself lucky that I didn't get boiling hot egg in my eyes.

Also, the noise attracted attention from everybody in the house, no way to just discretely clean it up before anyone noticed my stupid experiment.

Someone knocked on my door, asking if I had seen a missing person. I hadn't. I asked if I could join the search, they told me where to go to volunteer.

Long story short: They handed me a high-visibility vest with their logo on to wear. I had to return it.

ADHD has pros and cons. People usually forget about the pros, a little balance seems a good thing to me.

(Although ADHD does not mean higher than average intelligence, that is not one of the pros.)

A little tip for when you try out different methods: Check the weight of the silica gel, to check your progress.

For example: Take a container from the AMS, weigh it. Give it an hour in a food dehydrator. Weigh it. Repeat until weight no longer drops. Give it a couple hours or more in an oven that's at least 100 °C. Then weight it again.

Now you know how long it takes in the dehydrator, and how well it works.

Later you can weigh it again, and compare to the weight out of the oven. Now you know how much water is in there.

Hvis jeg ikke allerede er vant til at bruge offentlig transport, så er en tur på sygehuset absolut ikke tiden til at finde ud af hvilken kombination af 2-4 busser der får mig til hospitalet og tilbage igen med minimum bekostning af arbejdsdage.

Hvis jeg har en hylende unge der skal på skadestuen, så er det et vildt irriterende tidspunkt at "slås" med en p-billet automat*, men det er nu stadig langt bedre end busser.

*) Hvorfor pokker skal hospitalet af alle steder have så træls et P-billet system...

Nailed it!

If you assume that people actually want to do the right thing if it's easy, and then you make it easy, it usually works.

Even when this isn't enough, it should still come before anything else.

I hate them so much for all the reasons you mention and a few more.

But there are times that I prefer them over a 2-3 minute vidoe padded to 12-15 minutes for monetization.

Yep, all my smart thermostats are zugbee. No phoning home by design, so I don't have to worry about missing functionality by not giving them internet connection.

And that goes for almost all my smart home. I only have wifi things when I couldn't find a realistic zigbee option.

I do NOT want my thermostats to phone home. I don't see any value of that.

But they are connected to MY smart home system (Hone Assistant), and THAT is accessible from the internet.

I get the remote monitoring and control that I want, and they don't get any of my data. Perfect!
