I could be wrong but this sounds surprisingly like the "I don't actually need it, I can quit at any time, I just don't want to" trope.
Just put of curiosity if you switched to decaff for a month or something would you notice or feel any difference?
I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't really know what it's like. (I'll do tea every now and again but nothing daily or multiple times a day)
@FlyingSquid @walnutwalrus I think my tech time period is way off, but this reminded me of a vid I stumbled across with Wendy Carlos talking about their synthesized orchestra instruments. Would be interesting to hear what pre-40s sound tech could produce with the influence of today's music tastes, styles, techniques etc.
@OsakaWilson @Ace_of_spades I think this is probably the way to go. If you inquire directly, they can easily find out who is calling and what your relationship to that area is. If a bunch of random internet snoopers start raising red flags, there might not be a whole lot that they can do against general public inquiry. (They being the people who own the land, and the organized crime, including, it sounds like, the local police and politicians as well)
@Cannibal_MoshpitV3 @consciouslyoblivious Honestly, super impressive that you stick with it and kicked the habit. Nice fucking job! Couldn't have been easy :)
Had a dad who could not quit and I grew up around second hand smoke and hating the smell despite begging him to quit for years.
@ecoboy if you're into some educational vids on semi-serious but delivered in a humorous way,
ClimateTown is right there (https://youtube.com/@ClimateTown)
Sort of in the same vein is NotJustBikes, who has really great insight on subpar American infrastructure compared to other developed countries.

@Redditgee Hah, I figured as much, but wasn't gonna rule out the ole ear-lego or nose-bean. Gotta wonder what the ratio of accidentally-stuck-stuff in kids:adults is 🤔 and if there's a correlation. Maybe one grows up into the other?
@Rodeo honestly this sounds like the case. I don't have a ton of experience in modeling, but have definitely found controlling blender at very precision points to be difficult but always figured I just hadn't spent enough time learning the software. Gonna try and dig up the free Fusion360 and try it out
@GeeRad @_cerpin_taxt_ what software do you use for modeling? I've had my printer for awhile but still struggle with quick/efficient modeling (blender for me but I'm not great at it),
@ericbomb had roommates in college to whom mopping was just rearranging dirt on the floor.
Step 1. Get the mop wet in the bucket
Step 2. Mop the entire first floor
Step 3. Move to the next floor
No rinsing, no emptying/refilling the bucket (because hey, it never got dirty!). All grime just got wiped up, and moved around to the kitchen, living room, entryway, hallways etc. God forbid we had a party and beer got spilled in the basement. I'd be smelling it upstairs by the bedroom for weeks.
