This is encouraging as someone who is very comfortable with the development side of my studio but still finds the business side daunting at times

How is this not an issue? Non competes?
Oh yeah and debugging a broken sticky because some parent has stacking context stuff going on, also fun.
Im on a Mac now but did this eventually get fixed?
Not to spoil anything but a large part of the plot was how it circumvented that using a method not entirely unlike this. Life imitates art imitates life I guess.
I agree about the part where it's a static model - it's effectively the same as using a notebook without memorising what's in the notebook. That doesnt mean it can't generate insightful commentary as a result of a novel way of interacting with itself though, I think?
That's not to say I'm not social or that I don't talk to strangers, its just more of a conscious decision than - say - talking to the only other human I've seen that day might be.
In the end I went to the GP for anxiety and came out with a depression diagnosis and a bottle of Lexapro. Lucky for me I didn't get the crazy side effects and in combination with melatonin at least getting to sleep is no longer a problem.
In the past I've also found that deliberately clearing my thoughts is a way to slip from 'day mode' to those dozy random thoughts, but its often hard to remember in the moment and doesn't always work.
For myself - Mini's were my first two cars, and the second one is the one I'm restoring. For some reason I still don't fully understand my parents encouraged me to own a vehicle with the reliability and structural strength of a wet paper towel.. And if you know me I'm not exactly risk averse. But I love that thing and it's still one of the most fun vehicles I've driven after all this time. It's also possible to rev it out without constantly breaking the speed limit, something that the BMW and my CBR 1000RR both struggle with (CBR gets plenty of track time).
It's been repainted, solid subframe mounts, blue coil springs, adjustable dampers, adjustable brake bias, disk brakes at the front - you name it. Currently planning the build of a 1275GT motor (SW1 cam etc) and planning to use a Motogadget blue unit to solve many of the electrical gremlins. I don't know if it will be a daily or even if I will keep it long (I love building stuff so when its done I start looking for the next thing), but I've always meant to do some mini club cruises.
- Japan has these drinks with 200mg of GABA, I don't know if it was the 20,000 steps we were doing every day or the drinks but on the days I had it deep sleep was often (not always) closer to an hour. Strangely enough GABA is illegal here in NZ so I'm trying L-Theanine with less obvious effects.
- Exercise (even 2h+ moderate) doesn't have any effect, adjusting caffeine doesn't seem to either
- A warm shower immediately before bed strangely did seem to have a considerable although not perfectly consistent effect
- Just got put on Concerta for ADHD and although im getting less sleep i'm also getting 40+ minutes of deep sleep. After recently doing research into GABA + Dopamine + etc it seems to be a bit of a brain circuit thing for me.
Did enjoy renting a Tesla Model 3 but I can't stand the 'modern minimal apartment' driving experience, give me a Supra style wrap around cockpit or give me death.
What I came to say though, is this is making me want to restomod my way through the rest of my car ownership career, I'm almost done with a 1981 Mini but after that putting tesla motors and pi driven dashboards in cars exclusively from pre 2010 has a growing appeal.
Later it took months to fix the damage and I realised that some people will absolutely take advantage even at their own future expense.
