The answer is: Do both.

Often times not having the discipline to get up when you need to is the problem. And the solution is to tough it out.

So while you look for the cause, also work against the symptom.

For instance, quitting alcohol.

You need to quit, as well as try to look for the reason you're escaping into it. Do both.


What ifs could happen to anyone at any time.

What if I get HIV from a needle at a park bench? Do I need to inspect every park bench I sit on with UV light at night and leather gloves to be sure?

Where do you draw your line. Clearly your lines are different than others.

You should consider that their lines are based on rational investigation of the risk. Is yours?


Think of it this way, it's so good it's illegal.

Be careful... Help you marmite starved compatriots, you're next.


Yes, a clearly superior product.


I cannot get this in the U.S. thus I have to wince while consuming marmite.

But you are 101% correct.


Amazon has it but you're gonna pay for it.


I only see Bovrite.


What is the probability of a 3 days in a year breaking high temps? I'm not sure how to read the daily high numbers here unless I know what number is bad/good.

How likely is it in any given year in the last 100 years that there wasn't a day or 3 breaking previous highs?

That seems like weather vs. climate to me intuitively, but I just don't know.


Impossible to say without knowing the variance (and actually the distribution in general) of the data. But it would be nice to see a trend of time between records: if temperatures are not changing, we'd see the intervals increasing (setting records from a random distribution gets rarer and rarer). But if they're constant or increasing, that's a sign temperatures must be increasing on average.

However, that said, 9 of 10 ten of the hottest years on record happened within the last 10 years[1] (or if NOAA is not trustworthy to you, all 10 of the hottest UK years on record are since 2002 [2]), which would be extremely unlikely to be random chance, even if temperatures were completely random.

It would take much deeper statistical analysis then I can do to tell you the sigmas of those events, though.

Here's [1] an animation of real data from NASA.

The probability question is maybe just a math exercise at this point.

How are you setting DNS in your phone?


Typical DNS-level blocking software like pihole also functions as a DHCP server, allowing all devices on the network to share the DNS settings with no additional configuration necessary.


WiFi settings or DNS over HTTPS settings on Android 9. (I had to forget my network and reconnect with static instead of DHCP to manually set a DNS IP)


I agree, I thought, given the URL, that this was the or one of the founders of effective altruism writing about their job as marketing.
