I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I’ve reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I’m sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.

Ha, I’m a December baby.

Can confirm. Class of 2000. 42 years old.

Still rocking a 1080. I don’t see a big enough reason to upgrade yet. I mostly play PC games on my steam deck anyways. I thought starfield was going to give me a reason. Cyberpunk before that. I’m finally playing cyberpunk but the advanced haptics on PS5 sold me on going that route over my PC.

We had a GE that had the heat pump die after a couple years. Now our AO Smith will randomly not have hot water some mornings with no error codes. I am all for heat pumps, I am just not enjoying being a beta tester. I’d like to replace my gas furnace with a heat pump but my previous experiences make me nervous. Hopefully in a few years they will be rock solid reliable.
