Well I'm back to home improvements/electrocuting myself as the job was proving too stressful and I don't like being tied to "AI Native" without any kind of scientific process involved other than the CEO's enthusiasm. I get involved in projects to succeed, and when there are obvious roadblocks to success that I can't change there's no point in making myself ill over it.
So I've chucked my weed, beer and cigarettes that were making a comeback in my life in an attempt to manage the stress. I'd rather be poor and alive; I'm way too old to be falling back into old coping habits. And I can do cool projects.
Currently trying to fix up the two cars so they can pass the "contrôle technique". Then back to the 32kWh battery storage integration with the inverters, heat pump installation, solar panels, rainwater collection and possibly making it potable, planting mulberries, chestnuts, walnuts, sorting out a four-week chicken rotation system, and possibly aquaculture in the bottom field, etc...
It's what I actually want to do with my life. And we can just about survive on my disability benefits once my unemployment benefits come to an end in six months.
It's empowering to make this decision myself.
