My partner has had to remind me many times that my disabilities are actually disabling. No matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to the same tasks as a neurotypical person.

Sometimes just slowing down and working within your limits can drastically improve your symptoms. I find that my symptoms are at their worst when I'm pushing myself too hard, and can go away almost completely if I've been resting properly for a few weeks. This is fairly rare because I still haven't learnt to actually rest.

I'm also seeking medication to help, but it could take a long time to get anything. I'm also prepared for the possibility that the medication isn't the single solution to all my problems.

I wish you the best in your endeavours. You're not alone.

Kagi (paid) advertises a huge list of bangs with the option to customise them yourself.

It's likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

I have a spherical frictionless house in a vacuum.

Most engines are less than 30% efficient at producing movement. The majority of the energy is lost as heat.

Thermodynamics tells us that pretty much all energy ends up as heat. In a closed system, any device that uses energy is 100% efficient at making heat. A 1000W computer will make exactly as much heat as a 1000W heater.

A 100% efficient engine can only exist if the desired output is heat, thus making it a pretty useless engine. Also, in a closed system, the exhaust cannot leave.

Windows kept doing things I didn't want it to.

The last straw was when I had a 24 hours render running, and Windows decided to update and reboot 1 hour before it was done. I was using the computer at the time, RAM, CPU, and GPU were all at max, the mouse was being moved, I clicked "later" every time the update pop-up appeared, and it still rebooted.

Linux does what I tell it to, and doesn't do what I tell it not to do. I didn't think that was a big ask until Windows.

I've found syncthing to be easier once the initial setup has been done.

I have a 12 year old electric car with an old battery chemistry known for it's fast degradation compared to current chemistries. It still has more than 50% of its original capacity, which is still more than we need.

I wouldn't be surprised if I can keep driving it for another 5-10 years before selling the battery for grid storage.

Technically there is a limit. You can't go past 180 degrees without changing the rendering code.

Most electric cars have battery cooling, but the Nissan Leaf doesn't. It works fine until you try rapid charging more than 2 times in one day.

I suspect that some high performance cars would also have motor and inverter cooling. This would likely not be needed for regular road cars as the motor and inverter don't produce much heat.

Autonomous vehicles work better on rails also without having to deal with pedestrians.
