This is important. A worn out or unsupportive mattress does a lot of harm.

I have a torn quad that screws with my back. A TENS unit gives me relief when I need it

What I try to do is to find something to compliment. "What a beautiful blouse." "That tattoo is great, where'd you get it?" "What an awesome car!" That type of thing. It helps keep me thinking positively about people and I'd like for people to feel good about themselves if they interact with me.

BTW, your ability to express yourself is fantastic. I wonder if you are a writer.

I agree with the comment that judging is normal. Every creature makes judgements about every situation it's in. Trying to completely turn that off might make a person more susceptible to risks.

I think it's more important to learn not to act on every little judgement that comes to mind.

Anyone happy with refrigerated bread, should do what makes them happy. I will not refrigerate bread; instead I will freeze it.

The problem with temperatures above freezing is the starches that were broken down during the baking will recrystallize. This is why a well wrapped and refrigerated loaf will start to become hard.

If we are talking about the wonder bread type of sliced bread in stores, it's possible the preservatives used will slow the process down so it's not apparent when that type of bread is refrigerated.

The best way to get a long life from a loaf of bread is to buy only unsliced loaves and cut only what you need. Freezing will also extend life.

No, I don't think so because my family has been doing this forever. Bonus over liquid fabric softener is the paraffin wax from the softener doesn't build up and clog the washer. It's better for the clothes as well.

I wouldn't expect Spray & Wash to be at Home Depot, though if they carry laundry detergents, I guess maybe. If you are not familiar with the product, it's in a spray bottle found with the laundry detergents, softeners and the like.

I think that's an assumption that's proving to be incorrect. There's been computer tech for several generations now and there will always be those who just are not interested in anything but the tip of the iceberg.

I think it's comparable with an assumption that because I drive a car, I know how to maintain or fix it. It astonishes me how many people don't even know how to change their tire.

Additionally, those who are tech knowledgeable are less likely to be in legal or legislative positions. IMO, it places a greater burden on those who make judgements to elicit competent support on the technicalities. I see this gap widening over time, not narrowing.

While this is true, there are people who still have difficulty holding the lid regardless of the seal. Arthritis makes it hard for me and using something to improve my grip solves the problem. Though I've never used sandpaper.

Willpower is a myth. What you are correctly proposing is the start of new healthier habits.

AFAIK, all phones have a GPS chip now for emergency services. If you are looking to keep navigation services, then I think any phone capable of doing that will also be able to use social media apps. In which case, using an app locker might be your best option.

If the employer paid for/supplied it, the vest belongs to them not the employee.

Not always, but for many OS releases. I think it was Android 9 but it might have been a little earlier.

Actually, it might work depending on why the device isn't booting. It only works if the device is actually sound but has an overly depleted battery.

Nexus 6 phones were notorious for the charge getting so depleted that the high power charger was unable to get the battery going again. By plugging the phone into a low power computer USB port, often those phones could be recovered. It usually took several hours, but once the battery charging icon showed up again, switching to a regular charger would get it going again. It's also a sign that you should prepare to replace the battery.

So that narrows it down. You can learn coding online as a way to bootstrap a coding degree. Here in the US, IT entry level jobs can be had with the equivalent to a 2 year degree.

Inventory your current skills and see what is the base you have. Can you teach someone how to install and run a program? Can you solve network connection issues? Connect devices to smart devices? Once you show yourself what you already know, look for entry level opportunities to use those skills.

Schools are often in need of computer assistance and while it's not fancy networking (at least at a primary school level) it is a way to get started and spend night school enhancing your skills.

You don't need to know 100% of what is expected in a job to be qualified for the job. Just have the ability to learn and apply knowledge.

Once you have a starter job in your area of interest, all questions and learn what the growth path is. Learn the skills you need for the next level while working at the current level.

The options are endless if you are looking at every possibility. Start to narrow down where your interests, skills, and desires overlap. Office work? Fixing things? Operating heavy equipment? Working with animals? Working with kids?

As you are able to narrow down your choices, look for internships or apprenticeships.

Don't be afraid to try something and then decide to move on to something else if you're not happy. Sick it out long enough to really give it a chance since learning a new skill is often overwhelming. The job I loved the most required a specialized skill set that ultimately took close to two years to get proficient at.
