Even further, Americans are so heavily marketed on junk food we don't know what is what. We're told that fruit is a sugary treat, bananas are 'belly fat food', and I have no idea how to cook beans to make them interesting to eat. (Not that I have tried or thought about it recently - I'm sure I could with a minute of applied brain time)

Meanwhile sugary cereals like Heritage Flakes, and honey loaded granolas are what we think is healthy.

It's not so simple to look at one constraint for a rooftop install. When planning an install, cost per watt and watts per square meter interact, as does module size, module weight, low illuminance performance, durability and degradation, appearance, and other factors.

I'm grateful for the little child snuggled up into my armpit sleeping, snoring softly. And my wife, my other child sleeping, and many other things as well

I think it's a joke, unless they are referring to setting them under a poured layer of epoxy like some bars do (or the reddit thread from other commenter). For tiling, it would be difficult to set them because they are so thin. The thinset would end up being at or above the level of your grout. Also cleaning grout from them while float grouting would probably not be very fun. Maybe you could get away with setting them straight onto a layer of grout which would be less durable. Also they are so small and they don't come on a mat so you'd pay a lot of labor for placing them in any sort of organized manner

As someone who was formerly in a mental ward for acute crisis, I would say that at least the 72 hour hold was an essential and necessary part of my treatment. I don't think that staying at home with unprepared family members for the acute period would have worked out, and I don't even have a problematic home environment!

The flip side of the coin is that I was in a really high quality hospital, I'm sure there are hospitals or facilities that can be more harmful rather than helpful.

I also have a problem with the way that they treat mental health like cancer, that once you have a diagnosis you will always have it. There are zero diagnostic criteria for "fully recovered" or removing dependence on medication, even after 5 or 10 years. It's also treated like a scarlet letter for insurance and unrelated things like TSA pre check - no matter how well you are doing you are still some level of risk to yourself and society. Though I could be wrong... the reoccurrence chart over time for my specific acute mania (with no depressive episodes) does look a lot like cancer remission charts with asymptotic approach to 80%+ reoccurrence after 2-4 years.

Because of combustion instability modes, cascading failures, and finally the simple difficulty of high reliability operation of a piece of machinery that is so highly stressed.

There is a very interesting book about it, called Combustion Instabilities in Liquid Rocket Engines: Testing and Development Practices in Russia.

Don't knock on diving! It's constantly under attack at pools all over the parts of the world where legal liability is any bit of a factor. So hard to find any place that will let you dive these days. Although too bad they close the whole pool. They should have a bulkhead or separate diving basin ideally.
