I often wonder as well. Then I think: is this not just the human condition. In any case I seem to score pretty high on those online questionnaires.

What of many of the things you're "supposed to do" are things you don't actually want to do and therefore you don't do? What if it's external circumstances define what's called a mental disorder?

Would you feel like you have a mental disorder if you lived in some completely different context?

I'm just wondering if we can call things a disorder that might mostly arise because society is built around working better for more neurotypical people (it at all).

Would you call it a disorder being tall if for some reason most people were short and all our infrastrucure were built for short people?

I'm not questioning the difficulties many people have with their lives. I'm wondering what to do about it and where the threshold is.

Thanks a lot for having taken time to respond so thoroughly. I must say I haven't thought about things from this angle.

The part about the book and the mediocre comedian definitely rings a bell. Getting stuck in stupid local extrema (like in optimization) more often than necessary is definitely a thing with me.

Nice bread!

Experiment with kneading (slap and fold) for 5-10 minutes if you want a more open crumb (more volume). Also experiment with changing the amount of water and switching the flour. Even when sticking with white flour, there can be huge variations. Pay special attention to the amount of protein. More than 10% is usually an indication of four with more gluten, which leads to more "professional", chewy bread. Another thing to watch out for is timing. If you put your bread in the oven while it didn't have time to rise to it's fullest, it will be too compact. If you wait for too long, it might collapse and be too compact again.

Also, cut your bread before putting it in the oven for a nice and tasty 👂!

Just my two cents. Do whatever you like, what works and makes you happy. Everyone has different tastes in bread and that's great :)

CAD Software Suggestion

I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house. Maybe using a CAD software to generate stls for a 3D print or using it to spec out parts for a...

FreeCAD is really good nowadays. You need a bit of time to get into it but then it comes with everything needed also for complex multi-part assemblies.

How do you build complex shapes? ( i.imgur.com )

I've made a large number of custom prints, and all of them were created using TinkerCad. It's an amazing toolkit, stupid easy to use but versatile. That is ... until something needs a tiny adjustment somewhere. That's when I feel it would've been neat to use parametric CAD instead....

Do yourself a favor and learn FreeCAD!

Wow, it's actually way less stupid than expected at first. This is how we're getting forwards in 3d printing.

I wonder if spraying the print with water or a different cooling liquid would be a more practical solution.
