Ooor... Hear me out... We never buy any EA or Ubi games until they get rid of their bullshit launchers and DRM. We'd see some changes in a hurry.

According to Consumer Reports, Topo Chico consistently tested the highest for PFAS among carbonated waters. But they also said almost all store-bought carbonated waters tested positive for PFAS.
We will see this in a federal court case before too long. In the US cash is legal tender for transactions, but plenty of businesses are moving to card-only. This is kinda legal gray area now, but when I still owned businesses it was quite illegal. I consulted my business attorney about going to card-only because of too many hold-up attempts. That was a complete non-starter.
Our social media and blog are severely neglected, in large part because of surveillance and chokepoint capitalism (see: Cory Doctorow). But this would probably be the best entry point into our socials: https://youtube.com/@svcascadia

0_0 HFS! Glad you're okay AND saved your necessarily minimal (because boat) belongings!
We live on an ocean-going sailboat. We make our own water and electricity. We have ~25 years of membranes, filters, and most parts.

Having the escape hatch of the boat does a lot to ease the anxiety.
Other coping mechanisms:
I'm sure I'm skipping over some of my other copium prescriptions, but those are the most salient.

Mashing the upvote for Shadow Tactics and Shadow Tactics:Aiko's Choice. And agreed, their controller scheme is so spot on. Aiko's Choice adds some deeply bittersweet context to the first game.
To signal boost @Lifecoach5000 love of the smashburger: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt goes into great culinary depth about burgers, including the Oklahoma smashie. This is the version I make for friends and loved ones: https://www.seriouseats.com/oklahoma-onion-burger-recipe
If you can source beef from grass-fed pastured steer (in contrast to CAFO beef), it makes such a huge difference. For example, we get beef from a small scale local rancher family that does all their own butchery.

ADHD + tinnitus here, and my tinnitus frequencies shift around too. I made white and brown noise clips in Audacity, then notched out the frequencies of my varying tinnitus. I play it on repeat and found it very helpful. Although the tinnitus always comes back, I can focus while listening.
