I logged off once a day, the outside world is dark and has a comfortable place to rest.

Putting a sweet time release vape rig in my pc case, blowing clouds into the room out the exhaust fans like a fog machine. Sometimes I load up as many programs and applications as possible to get the heat and fan speeds up to max for a real wild time!

I miss the warmth of multiple CRTs monitors surrounding me. That's why I bought a bunch of HDR high refresh rate monitors that require active cooling! It feels like I'm in a sauna all day!

really insidious how these dealers get the kids hooked . . . a couple of free key caps one day, "oh, it's just a tiny bit, it can't hurt you," then the next day it's a usb adapter or a trackpad button. pretty soon they're up to case fans and heatsinks and before you know it they're hooked, they're stealing mom's jewelry for a northbridge controller chip, sitting blissed out on the sidewalk with sata cables dangling from their veins. makes ya sick.

Want to hold an intervention for you but due to lockdowns and other issues the only plausible way to do this would be a Zoom meeting and I feel like that might send a mixed signal. |

I suggest you quit "cold turkey". Get a cold turkey (frozen) and wing it at your computer until both are completely obliterated. |

So you remember how your dad would make you smoke a whole pack of cigarettes when they caught you? Read all gaslight threads front to back taking only bathroom and snack breaks. |

A true addiction entails a growing tolerance to a substance (think drugs or alcohol) so you need more to get "high," uncomfortable symptoms during withdrawal, and a harmful impact on your life, Greenfield says. Computer technologies can be addictive, he says, because they're "psychoactive." That is, they alter mood and often trigger enjoyable feelings. Email, in particular, gives us satisfaction due to what psychologists call "variable ratio reinforcement." That is, we never know when we'll get a satisfying email, so we keep checking, over and over again. "It's like slot machines," Greenfield says. "We're seeking that pleasurable hit."

You probably have the parts to make one at home you'll need about 500 bytes of notepad, you probably have some from rolling papers. Then you are going to get Auto Hot Key or Auto It out and make it so when you press f5 it will keep pressing it every so often for you. You define it! Just don't be too quick or you'll use up all your computer with a big gap in your memory.

You try kicking and doing more than breaking your foot and whatever the laptop hits when it's all steel body Lenovo T series Thinkpad. Thing weighs 20lbs and will wreck the walls. A good dealer should be able to get you an unregistered T series with the serial filed off.
