This was basically my my cousins place - mudbrick + bluestone. Timber lintels/sills, door frames and all

@integral SHiiiiiiat that is some intense winter lows - Typical lows in NSW Australia are 0C so there isn't so much environmental constraints. Pretty much can't apply my cousins method >.< Building management system + mechanical fitout will do that. I don't want to kill the dream but the cost is pretty high. I think it would be more an interesting system to implement to really see more precise diagnostics! They can be a bitch to maintain also.

Do you have the option to visit a physiotherapist and enlist in some sort of rehabilitation program? This is often the standard treatment for muscle atrophy from extended bedrest/non-use. Perhaps some weakness remains, impacting how you move structurally, and causing the pain you describe. When training or rehabbing I was always told never to increase volume more than 5-10% week on week. I have personally had knee pain similar to what you describe - a lancing, piercing pain that is especially pronounced when walking up stairs. I remedied it through cross training and substantially increasing dietary fats + red meat. But I cannot be assured this was the fix.

Just go live in a national park off-grid. My cousins did that (lived in the Blue Mountains of NSW). Batteries/solar. Huge hot stove oven - light it at dawn and keep it on all day. Shit in a pit. Tanked water. I spent many summers with them. Their house was made of bluestone if I recall. Full outdoor air all the time that is clean as fuck I am used to building super specialised lab PC2 and up environments. Airlock cleanrooms, compounding pharmacies and pathology areas. It doesn't really apply to what you want to do. You need full blown BMS controlled mechanical systems to operate them in liveble conditions.

Which is interesting because therapy aims to CHALLENGE your cognitive bias and false beliefs. Chatbots tend to enhance this... in the opposite direction >.<

This is it. I feel sorry for this user as he runs these thought patterns on a loop. He posts a rant - looking to achieve nothing - then leaves. Gets told by almost every member he is wrong. Comes back - rinse/repeat. Its a case for the need of serious therapy. CBD would probably work. But it will be years before OP can recognise the cognitive bias AND dissonance pattern and catch himself. He wants to have the love of a beautiful women desperately but feels this is owed. And when not given, resentment. Turning into this weird 'I hate pretty ladies' protective mechanism. And thats all it is - a protection mechanism.

@integral if you buy a pre-built box and then contract out the services, that makes it a lot easier than doing the whole shebang from scratch. I think it's a much better plan tbh You might need a geotechnical consultant to assess where you plan to put it. Not sure. They will tell you soil types and stability, what is suitable for that location

Are you just filtering for TVOC or pm2.5 & pm10 also? If custom, plans for design will cost you. Set aside cash for that. I don't know how building permits work where you are, but here you need a set of plans passed and assessed/prepared. Structural set are usually emphasised. It sounds like you will need to subcontract more than you realise. Hydraulics, electrical, structural (carpentry). What about fire safety? I still think you are aiming for way too specialised with even 110k budget.

@AION sweet let us know how the p series goes. Lenovo have done me solid for a few goes now. I didn't know they used to be IBM until recently. The X1 I can vouch for. I only recommend shit I have used myself. I've had turd results from Dell (srsly fuck that proprietary power supply plug) , HP and Acer on the laptop front. Never tried Asus etc. Do you use an iPhone? That might be another deciding factor for MacBook due to the ecosystem cohesion. But again if you are anything like me fuck apple and fuck iOS lol. Even though I can admit they make good products.

My advice is - don't cook your lungs. Anything inhaled regularly - vaping / smoking / chroming. Do not! Once your lungs are done you are fucked.

There is a bit more to it.

@Shermaningeorgia Mental gymnastics to justify hate. Low consciousness

You might want to research what processes are involved with treated pine, as modern building materials are usually bathed in chemicals. Not sure how wood off-gasses at all tbh. I only have experience building with steel/plaster for commercial application - never done resi. Most modern pine is treated to resist rot, decay and termites. The extent of my work with wood is on joinery and that is typically ply - if that. Most builds are MDF for joinery. But your budget isn't going to allow for much... you don't know what you don't know. Mistakes are very costly. An experienced carpenter or builder would be an asset. Labour is always the really costly part - so anything you need to subcontract will destroy budget.

Also what type of air monitor you got? I have a Qingping which is very good. VOC's are the hardest thing to minimise imo....

Damn bro - this is a lot. You need to caulk joints - will you use caulk? Wood to wood like Japanese style joints? Takes a seriously skilled carpenter - and even then it won't stop air. What sort of mechanical system? We talking like, physical containment level air filtering / sealing? Negative pressure? I've only done labs to PC2. Not sealing the wood joints is going to be your biggest contaminant leak. This is just off the top of my head... $70k??? Flat no

It has nothing to do with justice.

I think it's a bit more nuanced. A car doesn't replace you - it makes human life easier. The technology assist us. AI can assist us, but it has the danger it can replace large parts of humanity. For the first time technology isn't just assisting and enhancing human life - it can actively replace large parts of our existence.

I like to schedule regular breaks for advertisement 🫪

It's not denying reality. It is simply recognising there isn't merit to looking good. It's not a mark of achievement. Not a mark of excellence. Not something to be admired. It just is. Being attractive is simply a temporary state that will leave with time. Attractive people got a good diceroll from God. That's it. I think you might personally value good looks a lot. This is also causing you to resent those who are good looking. But these people could also be born ugly. It's just random. Life isn't fair. It's not a vending machine where you put good in and good comes out. Just make the best of what you have and forget how others look. It doesn't effect you. And if it does? You are allowing it to affect you and creating the reaction within yourself. Take it easy there Tiger, don't poke too many holes in the OPs argument hahaha 😂

@Florian but his philosophy IS poor. He did slowly introduce his side hustle grift selling blueprint products. My point it he is one of the elite. His surface motives look genuine - but none of these elite technocrats are FOR YOU. They would leave you in the dirt to die if they could live forever. It does one no good to buy into hype. It's how these guys sell themselves and capitalise on your click. Your attention and your money. There are more issues with Bryan I haven't even gone into here, that make any normal person question themselves, following and idolizing someone like him. I apologise if I offended you, my views and opinions still stand. If you read all my replies I am pretty fair and give Bryan a lot of credit. Realise this is a discussion. I am not DOING anything to you. It's whatever you are allowing that is the issue. One should always investigate the legitamacy of their feeling reactions. Because often they lead you astray. I don't care what you think of me as a moderator. I am here to arbiter forum rules. I have opinions of my own that don't mean disagreeing presents any sort of issue - or that my opinions or views carry any more weight than the next person. This speaks to your own issues with authority. So be chill 😎 Peace 🕊️

Thanks for the share - I came across this one by accident then saw your post 😁

@Tenebroso nope. That is your projection. People, men and woman. Are equally capable of being full of shit. Mean. Status seeking. Materialistic. I just see where you have a cognitive bias - and that bias is also projecting onto me. You see arrogance and self righteous where there is just firm understanding and hard words. It's just coming from a female so it hits different. We are debating about your views regarding women, and how they are solely negative. I know there are bad women out there. But if we are to counter this claim you have, it won't do to bring up examples of bad woman that will further cement this. What exactly do you want to hear? That people are selfish and full of shit? The problem is... That quality has nothing to do with sex. Man or woman. It's the same across the board. Read all of my posts again, and you will realise I never said women are faultless, saints, angels, goddesses. Really really read my posts. It was never even inplied. You will realise you filled in the gaps with information to perpetuate a narrative. It didn't come from me. It's a narrative spun by algorithms to keep you in a state of lack and powerlessness. And I fucking hate that this manosphere content does this to people.

@jd1279 Can you link one of his recent ones on Autism? I didn't think there were many recently - But I may have missed it !

@TheBG FWIW I needed external force to move me on a new trajectory into actualizing my unlived/unexpressed masculinity. It didn't come from within, as much as I would have liked this. The negative feelings that come up around it were a powerful motivating force to pull my attention to attend something. I always feel negative emotions are beneficial as they orient us to look at things that may be wrong. This is from the frame of someone pathology free IE you do not have a panic disorder or chronic depression etc. I am a woman, so naturally do not have a huge need to exercise my masculine energy - and I still felt a huge compulsion. I just wish I had the wisdom to act on it without reality forcing it. And I think your post was really useful - even if you knew the answer all along. You never know how your words might help someone else in a similar position
