I bought a no name brand battery for my laptop once off of ebay. Had zero problems with it. The battery life was like 1 year instead of 2 or something but otherwise it performed the same. Just make sure you pick a reputable seller or something with a lot of positive ratings.

Not sure what is pissing you off. If it’s like most people right now it would be best to cold turkey social media and news. I was getting incredibly depressed by it so I quit it and I just stick my head in like once every couple of weeks, like today.

Exercise. Getting out of the house. Get reconnected and grounded. Get back to living in the moment. Remember to be grateful everyday for something. I know it sounds stupid when everything is burning down but just do it and see the results.

Check out self help books at the library for your conditions. I know when I couldn’t afford therapy or went a long way to getting mentally well is life time journey for many if not most.

And cold turkey any kind of meds for mental disorders is a scary thing. You’re an adult, you made that choice. You can always talk to your doctor about alternatives but I imagine you’re going cold turkey for reasons. Just be kind to yourself while you’re going through this transition. Know that this isn’t how you or things will always be. Be patient with yourself and take it one day at a time. Things will get better. You won’t always be angry at things. Question why you’re getting angry at things and ask yourself things like should you change your expectations.

I just wanted to add that a reverse osmosis system would bypass the lead and I think everything else there in your drinking water. If you are going to have kids in the house then you need to fix the lead issue because especially little ones will drink the bath water.

But yes, knowing why you have that much lead in your water and the source is important. It could be lead pipes or soldering. From my own research I found that, especially if it is an older well, if there is a lead packer installed down in the well then you’ll have to get it lined at some point to stop the problem.

Check locally and state websites. You should be able to find some local labs if you want something this detailed otherwise if you want to spend less with less precise results you can look for well water test strips online that will test for like 15 different things. It will not test for bacteria or PFAs. Those are separate tests.

Is this is for work, you might want to look up “capsule wardrobe.” This gives you wardrobe to mix and match that looks like you have bunch of clothes when you don’t. You really don’t need to keep up with main stream fashion. Any pressure to do so is just societal pressure and you don’t have to align with it.

My thought is leave them be. Downvotes and blocking should be sufficient if it’s bad enough.

I buy cables that have a braided wrap around them if I buy them at all. I’ve had so many come with phones and other crap. The only reason why I’ve bought a couple of others is because I needed some long ones.

It gets clicks.

My main computer is a 500$ laptop that I use for writing, bills, shipping, etc. My gaming laptop comes out maybe once a week.

Having a kid has helped me learn and realize so much about myself and my life that I wouldn’t have been able to learn otherwise. The same can be said about many of my other major life experiences. Sometimes I miss being alone and being able to do whatever the fuck I want, but I realize I’m still learning how to balance my life and seeing my child every day makes me happy (even if she is going through a hellion phase).
