Does anyone who is bi-polar feel that they are able to navigate their down time well enough that it is not crippling? For myself, I believe it was more inline with seasonal depression, and after 30+ years of living in the northeast, where winters are longgggg and exgtremely cold, I moved to a place that this wasn't the case. I don't know if I have it, but when I am feeling down, I tend to read more, and just try to focus on the fact that I will come out of it and feel better shortly.
That is sad to hear. By any chance do you live with others. I thankfully have my wife and two kids which helped, though I just moved from LA to SC, because it was so draconian. We have already talked to more neighbors in 5 days living here than we did in years living in LA. Point being the isolation is much less here because people all walk in the neighborhood and actually say hello and mean it. They don't in LA. But, I too am missing interactions at work terribly.
I recently got the outdoor Polk audio speakers. And have them hard-wired to a fairly high-end receiver. The sound quality is so much better. I listen to a lot of vinyl, so that makes it an easier choice too. We use the smaller WonderBoom speaker when we do need it for the beach or something, but when at home, I will always chose to get the hard-wired path. Regardless how quickly the Sonos speakers connect to your source, hard-wired is better quality and is always connected.
I have a fully hardwired multi-room and outdoor setup (Klipsch speakers) using the Sonos Connect AMPs. They support this path pretty well. You can use Sonos Port with your existing amp as well, but it's a little overpriced.
I was paying $70-80 to fill my tank of gas in CA, and now am paying $35 in SC. I took my son for sushi the other night, and we feasted and I had two glasses of wine, and the bill was $50 instead of at least $100 in LA, so yea, everything is way cheaper when you aren't paying to live in the "dream" world of LA.
Ben Shapiro, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan all are on the high end, and all have headed out. I also headed out, but I am only on the high end in terms of total world population, but they are real high enders fleeing the myriad of issues coming to a head in good ole CA in 2020.
Yea, I mean, handling scale is such a specific issue and everyone worries about it too much. At this point, you just use DynamoDB or some other managed service, and let the teams with 1000's of developers worry about scale.
