It actually has a name it’s called task activation avoidance. We want to ignore it as long as possible because the minute we open it it becomes another responsibility we have to remember and complete. I struggle with this a lot but what helps is if I tackle them one at a time. I block off time out of my day to open them one at a time and try to complete it 100% whether that’s simply responding back or getting the person an answer. I definitely don’t always get them all but I do get a bit of dopamine from the feeling of completing one of them so there’s that.

    I’m going to follow the advice of someone else and just screw it back but you bring up another issue that I would like to tackle. For clarity my issue was never the valve but the hoses poking out and I figured if I have to remove the valve to address the hoses I might as well get a valve that functions better. You are correct that it is some builder nonsense.

    What should I be telling a plumber to do to fix the transition so it’s not pushing out? I want to have an idea what I’m asking for so I don’t get taken advantage of and over charged.

    Off the top of my head Sinema became famous for blocking a minimum wage increase. She was definitely a establishment spoiler because she didn’t do anything but block stuff. Manchin gets a pass in my book because he was actually voting for his constituents. He ran as Democrat but he was actually a left leaning republican representing West Virginia which is Republican territory. He didn’t block much but he stonewalled anything that was remotely progressive. Torpedoed any bill that didn’t give massive concessions to republicans or West Virginia.

    I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.

    Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.

    You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily
