I assume you use it as a throw and not as a blanket for sleeping, right?
For sleeping, I have the opposite problem. I always overheat.
Me too. For that I highly recommend the Tree Napper from Bearaby.

I would describe Prelude in C as having one of the highest “simplicity to depth” ratios of any piece I’ve played. I wonder if anyone else has any they’d suggest as being incredibly simple while also being incredibly deep. (I get this is pretty subjective but I think you know what I mean)
I picked up a collection of several hundred of his 4-part chorales. I like to flip through the pages and pick one seemingly at random and play it. While some hit me harder than others, nearly all of them express this "simplicity to depth" ratio.

While they aren't stopping users from getting medical advice, the new terms (which they say are pretty much the same as the old terms), seem to prohibit users from seeking medical advice even for themselves if that advice would otherwise come from a licensed health professional:

What does she work on? Can you explain to non-math people why her work is interesting/cool? Would also love to see more comments from people familiar with the other genius grantees' works filling us in on "here's what they do and why it's cool."
"Uncovering transformative connections between algebraic combinatorics and problems in other areas of math and physics."

And yet we still have no place to put that "clean" energy when it is depleted.
I'd rather it be stored neatly in canisters underground than floating up into the atmosphere.
Reminds me of The Disappearance of Rituals by Byung-Chul Han. It's difficult to succinctly state the premise of the book, but in a way, I think its about structuring time and attention vertically on top of itself instead of horizontally across moments and subjects
What serendipity! The latest episode of "Philosophize This!" is titled "The Philosophy of Zen Buddhism - Byung Chul Han".[0] I'd never heard of him before. Apparently his book "The Burnout Society" is recommended reading.

"If technology can be perfected to manage medicine, navigation, education, and even design, what then becomes of work? The specter is not merely unemployment—it’s meaninglessness. Once freed from the burdens of labor, what do we do?"

Only if one's identity is defined by their work.
Any time you're "validating emotions" in the real world, there is going to be some degree of implicit endorsement that the reaction was valid.
The idea of "validating emotions" being synonymous with saying "I agree that you feel that way" is rather infantile. Nobody needs someone to agree that the emotion they experienced is the emotion they experienced.
In the early days of our relationship I would try to explain to her why her emotion doesn't 'make sense'. That just made things worse. Much worse. When she helped me understand that she needed me to validate that what she was feeling was legitimate - based on her interpretation of the events - she was able to let go and consider other interpretations.
Note that this "letting go" almost never happened in the moment, but only after the emotions abated and she had time to process the entire situation. We're talking hours, not minutes.
