Some doctor told my dad a while ago that he felt like we weren’t that far off from physically poking around in a mind and hoping that we fixed it- or that we’re closer to that than understanding it.

It’s an old and second hand story. I do appreciate the idea though that we’ve found ways to disrupt the mind that can be beneficial, but that we’re not at the level of being able to do more than throw a cog in the works in a general direction.

For me it makes it easier to accept when the first - or second thing does work. We’re just trying things. It’s not like we know what is gonna unclog the works.

This is getting pretty deep into a metaphor. Sorry

Fiat 500e at least has an obd 2 connector, though it seems like it it speaks a different language.

Not that they’re particularly cheap at all, but Polestars are already made in China.

Taking an L = taking a loss / losing.

I’m dealing with something similar but not as bad.

Our best guess is brownouts for our instance, but it doesn’t sound like what you’re dealing with. Good luck. Let me know if you’re able to find out. Hope the hardware isn’t failing.

I understand people charging for their apps.

This feels like something else. Like, it feels like a way to rip off people that don’t pay attention to what they’re signing up for.

That’s what I did.
