I just bought a house that has a driveway trench (?) drain at the bottom just before the garage. I don’t know where the end of the drain is. It has been raining for the last few days and the water has not drained at all and has been sitting there. There’s mosquitoes everywhere and it smells awful. I’m pretty sure it overflowed at one point and backed into the garage too.
I tried pulling out any silt and leaves manually but it won’t drain. I even got a pressure washer with a sewer jetter to dislodge whatever is in there but it still won’t work. I can only get the hose to reach about 4 ft before it won’t go any further. I’m not sure if the blockage is too dense or big to remove or if the pipe itself has collapsed and is causing the blockage.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. This is driving me crazy.

I've already tried it on my own and I've looked at a bunch of posts from the past. I'll just put my code below for printer config.

The field of sewer line repair has seen significant technological advances in recent years. These innovations not only improve the efficiency and effectiveness of repairs but also minimize disruption and environmental impact. This post explores the latest technologies shaping sewer line repair, with a focus on solutions for sewer line troubleshooting Hollywood.
Innovative Diagnostic Technologies
One of the most crucial stages in sewer line repair is accurate diagnosis. Technological advancements have significantly enhanced this phase:

1. Video Camera Inspections: High-definition cameras can now be inserted into sewer lines to provide real-time, detailed views of the interior conditions of pipes. This method helps in identifying blockages, cracks, and other issues without the need for excavation.
2. Sonic Profiling: This technology uses sound waves to assess the integrity of underground pipes. It is especially useful in detecting voids and anomalies in the surrounding soil that could potentially cause pipe failure.
3. GIS and GPS Mapping: Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology are used to accurately map and record the location of underground sewer lines. This is crucial for future maintenance and avoiding accidental damages during other excavation works.

Repair Technologies
After diagnosing the problem, the next step is to apply the most effective repair technology:

1. Trenchless Repair Methods: Technologies such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining allow for the repair or replacement of sewer lines without the need for extensive trench digging. This not only reduces the repair time but also conserves the landscape and is less disruptive to the community.
2. Robotic Cutting: Robots equipped with cutting tools can enter sewer lines and remove obstructions such as roots and hardened deposits. These robots are controlled remotely, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing safety.
3. Hydro Jetting: This method uses high-pressure water streams to clear out blockages and buildup inside sewer pipes. It is highly effective and environmentally friendly, as it uses only water to achieve its results.

Benefits of Technological Advancements
The benefits of these technological advancements in sewer line repair are manifold:

1. Increased Accuracy: Enhanced diagnostic capabilities lead to more accurate repairs, ensuring that the actual problem is addressed without unnecessary work.
2. Cost Efficiency: Though the upfront cost of some advanced technologies can be high, they often result in lower overall repair costs by preventing future issues and reducing the need for repeated interventions.
3. Environmental Sustainability: Minimally invasive technologies reduce the ecological footprint of repair activities, preserving more of the natural and built environment.

Conclusion
Technological advancements in sewer line repair are revolutionizing how we maintain and improve our sewer infrastructure. For residents and businesses in Hollywood, these innovations mean quicker, more reliable, and less intrusive sewer line troubleshooting and repair. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing these technologies will become increasingly important in managing urban infrastructure efficiently and sustainably.

If you have not read the book “Flow” please do. As an ISTP I had to read it about 3 pages at a time. All the Ne had to be coaxed into my system and I have to write down 50 real world applications to every concept to feel comfortable with it. It was a grind.
I constantly found myself relating “Flow” to MBTI. I feel strongly that we experience Flow when our ego (top 4 functions) and subconscious (bottom 4 functions) are able to communicate unimpeded while engaging in an activity that meets the needs of your type preferences.
For me, I know I experience Flow during the following activities: 1) interviewing someone/typing someone: diving into someone’s cognitions, finding their feelings, connecting those feelings to concepts I’ve learned about others; making sense of their feelings and what has led them to becoming how they are now; helping them identify things they do and why (especially things that they might be a little insecure about doing). Most of all my flow state in these moments is furthered by those people telling me they’ve never understood themselves better than they do after we talk.
2) winning a competition: trying hard at something in a definable space and being able to translate those efforts into positive, measurable results next to someone else (or myself at a previous time). Inarguable competence produces dopamine I never want to end.
3) fixing broken things (especially something I have 0 experience with): diagnose the problem, confirm diagnosis, design a fix, implement, see positive results. I fixed a pressure washer without having ever touched a motor. I installed my kitchen floors having never so much as purchased a saw. I actually have the confidence at this junction in my life that I can figure out what’s wrong with and find a fix for most things (with obvious specialized exceptions).
There are plenty of other examples but my flow states are based on me existing in a definable, constant space (avoiding Ne trickster blindness), short term hyper focused attachment (Si expectation is low), easy to trace and understand feelings (Fi fluency), and limited actions for me to understand and become competent in (realistic Te effectiveness expectations), tangible positive benefit(s) to others (Fe), predictable outcomes (Ni), chaos to organize (Se), and a huge opportunity to learn and gather info (Ti).
I loved the book about Flow but the biggest thing that has stuck with me is that the most common way to ruin Flow is to notice or question if you’re in Flow. Even if you can resume it, stopping to ask yourself if you’re happy, having a good time, or even, specifically, “am I in Flow?” stops it. This leads to a very important observation: finding what makes you happy is just as important as pursuing it relentlessly.
What do y’all think?

I have a problem when assembling this desk (Image 1), and that is that the middle support (#6) that joins both bases (#5) does not have holes. I wonder if it is like that or is it wrong. What happens is that when inserting the screws they exert pressure directly on the bar and therefore do not go in completely. I tried to represent the problem (Image 3, open the image) based on the manual (Image 2). I have thought about drilling it but would like an opinion or someone who can help me please?e?

Terrestrial transport is heavily dominated by nuclear power, not just in the military sector, but also for civilian transport. Unlike on Earth, where nuclear energy is often met with public skepticism, red tape and safety concerns, Kyanah city-states in affluent regions have adopted nuclear-powered airlines--traveling at Mach 2--and trains with little to no regard for such concerns. Suborbital transit via spaceplanes is sometimes used by packs of high-ranking executives, politicians, or diplomats who don't have time to waste sitting in a plane for hours. Nuclear-powered trucks are also not uncommon; as their homeworld is a super-Earth with no oceans, routes can get extremely long (Ikun-Kanenhah is about 30,000 km by road and it's not even the longest route on the planet), and not needing gas stations or charging areas can be very handy. Even some nuclear powered cars for individual packs have been developed, though the complexities of cramming a nuclear reactor and radiation shielding under a car hood make them a premium item, starting at the equivalent of approximately $100,000 in human terms--though some say this is made up for by the convenience of being able to just get in and drive, without ever worrying about plebian matters like fueling or recharging. For most packs in developed city-states, electric cars are the norm instead, with advances in battery life via room temperature superconductors rivalling or exceeding ICEs. However, some older coal-powered ones--the only naturally occurring fossil fuel, due to the lack of oceans--can be seen, and are quite numerous in poor and developing city-states. Notably, many consumer cars tend to be much larger than on Earth, almost like vans; as packless Kyanah aren't generally in a position to afford cars, and those with packs rarely if ever have any reason to drive anywhere without their packs, cars must be made to accommodate entire packs, with 4-6 adults plus however many young they may have.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Kyanahs' devil-may-care attitude towards nuclear power extends to nuclear bombs as well. In fact, peaceful nuclear detonations make up a majority of the nuclear detonations on the Kyanah homeworld, outnumbering nuclear tests and acts of war combined. As per Ikun's policy of nuclear monopoly, no other city-state is allowed to develop nuclear weapons, but Ikun itself has performed thousands of peaceful detonations, both for its own projects and occasionally, on request from one of its allies. Such projects include flattening extremely large areas of terrain for infrastructure megaprojects (including road and rail links through impact various ranges, or flattening areas for building in said impact ranges), exposing valuable mineral deposits for mining, and even using the craters generated by nukes to create several artificial oases; at least 18 independent city-states have been created from scratch around such oases--this has occasionally been used by Ikun as a means of creating pro-Ikun regimes in areas where overthrowing an existing city-state was deemed impractical. Nukes have also been used by Ikun to power Raiun-cannons, which as the name suggests are essentially large cannons that use a nuclear explosion rather than a chemical one to propel thousand-ton payloads into space; the equivalent human term is "Wang Bullet". However, these have largely fallen out of fashion with the development of SSTO nuclear spaceplanes that can carry more delicate payloads and not destroy the launch site with every use. As it has been 66 Earth years--more than the average Kyanah lifetime--since the Day of Tower Clouds and almost 40 since the last nuclear annihilation by Ikun, the average Kyanah in Ikun is more likely to associate nukes with projects like these than with a nuclear holocaust--though in some places, the nuclear annihilations early in Ikun's Hegemony Era cast a long shadow even in the present day.
Many large-scale, and even planetary-scale infrastructure projects do exist on the Kyanah homeworld, but anything that extends between multiple city-states is almost invariably an emergent phenomenon that has emerged from many different entities independently building infrastructure for their own economic and strategic needs, often following historic trade routes. For instance, while almost all known medium sized (population >131k) and large (population >1.04M) city-states are connected via paved roads, there is no centralized figure behind this, like with the Interstate Highway System, and the network constantly changes as entities stop maintaining highways that no longer suit their interests, and others decide to construct their own. While such highways are in the open land between city-states, which is legally considered in a manner similar to international waters on Earth, whatever entity commissioned the building of a particular road or railway through open land is considered to own it and be responsible for it. Quality varies considerably, ranging from two-lane pothole-strewn death traps in the middle of nowhere to eight-lane smart highways that display alerts and information holographically, automatically inform maintainers about needed repairs via wireless sensors, and communicate with autonomous vehicles to allow them to navigate smoothly; city streets in wealthy city-states also share these features. Some roads in the Rktakian Kwardniet have the ability to wirelessly transfer power to compatible electric vehicles for a toll, reducing the need to stop and charge. Paved roads are usually built from some form of concrete rather than asphalt and in wealthy regions, are sometimes seeded with nanoparticles or genetically engineered microbes that automatically repair micro-cracks, meaning that such roads only need any maintenance at all once every 30-40 Earth years, and--if simulations hold up--won't need to be outright resurfaced for centuries. Road workers in these affluent areas--such as much of the Rktakian Kwardniet, and parts of the Far South, Meatbucket, and Western Sector, are thus only needed to build new roads, or if natural disasters have destroyed part of a road. Most cars and trucks have a high level of autonomy, equivalent to level 4-5 on smart highways and 3-4 on arbitrary roads; it's common in vast stretches of highway between city-states to see multiple trucks traveling in a convoy with only the first one actually being driven by a pack.
Rail networks have largely evolved in a similar organic fashion with no top-down authority guiding their development or standards, and thus as a practical matter, variable gauge trains have always been required to cover any serious distance without running into this issue. There are an estimated 15 million kilometers of rail on the Kyanah homeworld, about 20 times as much as on Earth, a factor which can be attributed to it being an oceanless super-Earth with nearly 9 times the land area, and barring political considerations or issues with customs, it is usually possible to get from almost any mid-sized or large city-state to any other by rail. In recent epochs, the development of room temperature superconductors has made long range maglev systems practical; in practice, these are often integrated into existing rail lines, allowing both maglevs and internally powered nuclear or internal-combustion trains to use the same route, though maglev-compatible lines are much more sparse outside of the Rktakian Kwardniet, Western Sector, Meatbucket, Far South, and immediate vicinity of various megacities outside these regions. New rails are often constructed from self-healing metals to reduce the need for repairs. To the Kyanah, "high-speed rail" refers to vactrains, which have been implemented, but are even more sparse. The expense of making the required room-temperature superconductors in orbit and maintaining a vacuum tube for hundreds of kilometers, the extreme security risks and high-profile terrorist attacks, and the fact that acceleration time greatly limit the available stops--to avoid turning it into a high-G experience and still make full use of the available speed, stops must be at least 400-500 km apart, with any in-between destinations being served by a second line, and the necessity of having a perfectly straight line--mean that only a few such lines exist. The only one in the Rktakian Kwardniet runs the Ryden-Ikun-Aktin route, covering 1500 kilometers in about 25 minutes, including an 8-minute stop in Ikun, at half the cost and three times the speed of an equivalent plane ticket. However, security concerns, red tape, and bickering between the three city-states in question have caused this project to cost roughly half a trillion koin and take 37 years to complete--or in human terms, about $80 billion and 17 Earth years, double the cost and 50% longer than originally planned--and in 38 years/17.5 Earth years of operation, it has yet to be a net profit, discouraging the construction of further vactrains in the Rktakian Kwardniet. The Far South, with a less car-centric culture and a greater prevalence of direct government control over infrastructure, has seen 17 city-states be connected with four vactrain lines, and one additional line connects four city-states from East Anweri to Dagtan, though this has been the most controversial of all due to the poverty and developing economies of these city-states. While advances in mega-scale 3D printing of infrastructure since about Y944 may lead to the cost of vactrain lines dropping in--in human terms--under $50 million/km, it will likely never be as practical for most routes as nuclear jets that can go from almost anywhere to anywhere else, even if they only travel at 0.7 km/s instead of 2 km/s as vactrains do.
The planet's impact ranges pose a considerable challenge to ground transport--arguably worse than Earth mountain ranges--as the masses of overlapping craters, impact peaks, and ejecta piles lead to chaotic, loose, rockfall-prone terrain with drops and rises reaching hundreds of meters or even kilometers. Most impact ranges have several major highways passing through in modern times, using elaborate systems of bridges, tunnels, and ramps to navigate through the treacherous crater fields. The largest and most treacherous such area, known as the Shatter, where three separate impact ranges overlap, only has one paved road and rail crossing, at the Dagtan Gap, where the shattered crater-field narrows from hundreds of kilometers across to just 60. Naturally, this has put Dagtan city-state, on the southern side of the gap, in a very important but also very high-pressure position; they are much bigger and wealthier than many city-states in their general vicinity due to the sheer volume of trade between the Rktakian Kwardniet+Western Sector and the Middle+Far South going through Dagtan. However, hundreds of city-states are constantly trying to influence Dagtan and secure beneficial trade arrangements, and Ikun itself has invaded no fewer than three times during the Hegemony Era to overthrow the government in Dagtan. Some companies in Rktakian Kwardniet city-states have proposed using nukes to blast a path through the Shatter a few thousand kilometers east of Dagtan to create an alternate route (as has been done a few times in other impact ranges) but there are few large and economically developed city-states near the proposed route, so hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of smart highways and magrails across barren desert would have to be built to connect it to existing infrastructure, and also Ikun's government seems disinterested in using nukes for this particular project, making it largely a pipe dream.
The largest piece of infrastructure on the Kyanah homeworld is undoubtedly the Water Distribution System. While pipelines to carry water between city-states have existed since the early industrial times, construction has accelerated drastically after the Utopian Wars, as technology has advanced and economic interconnectedness have increased, and thousands of city-states and corporations have built pipelines, silos, ultra-deep water wells, and fog collection systems to transfer water between themselves and their allies and trading partners. This way, water can be quickly and easily moved from regions with an excess to regions with drought, a handy piece of infrastructure for such an arid planet. However, Ikun has heavily invested in the underlying technology and infrastructure, bridging gaps in strategic locations around the world and building vast numbers of the most powerful and efficient control nodes and refining and optimizing the infrastructure, causing the emergent networks to gradually merge into a cohesive whole. With more than 120 million kilometers of pipelines and 9 million control nodes, corporations and government agencies based in Ikun together own some 82,000 control nodes, nearly 1% of the entire system and over three times as many as the next most influential city-state, and have also built some half million kilometers of pipelines themselves. In recent years, construction robots and metal 3D printing technology has made this construction more efficient, enabling the production of pipelines in one continuous length, without the need to haul disparate segments into place and weld them together. Sensors are ubiquitous along the system's length, immediately alerting control node owners of mechanical issues in remote areas so that construction crews can be sent to repair them.
A human, with a human-centric view of institutions and interconnected systems, could be forgiven for thinking that the Water Distribution System was a grand altruistic endeavor intended to uplift impoverished communities. But to the Kyanah that was never the point, even though it's certainly had that effect in most parts of the world. Essentially, the crux of the Water Distribution System is the control nodes, which can be used by their owners to activate valves, pumps, and storage mechanisms to either push or pull water in a particular part of the system, causing it to be routed to their desired location; the more powerful and efficient the underlying hardware is, the more effective the control node is. However, thousands of entities are pushing or pulling water at any given time; if multiple control nodes are trying to move water in the same direction, their effect will be magnified, while if they are moving water in the opposite direction, their effects will be diminished or even cancelled out entirely.
The Water Distribution System is thus, in a sense pay-to-win via technical investment, as affluent and technologically advanced city-states like Ikun have more and heavier-weighted control nodes. It is a very complex strategic landscape with organizations heavily relying on optimization and game theory to try and maximize their influence and access to water. Sometimes, city-states cooperate, and other times they work against each other, using complex strategies to deny their enemies water by strategically pushing or pulling from enemies, allies, and neighbors to indirectly leave the target in a situation where water is flowing away from them in every direction with a force too great for their own control nodes to override. Determining the optimal strategy is a computationally hard problem with no closed-form solution, so those with the biggest supercomputing clusters and the best scientists to devise classified algorithms gain an advantage that stacks with control node superiority. The Water Distribution System is a lot like a planetary chess game, where some players have like three queens on the board and a computer running Stockfish, and others...just don't. Because of this, the system can be controversial, with approval ranging from less than 30% of packs to over 90%, depending on the city-state. And yet, access to water has genuinely increased. Often-times there will in fact be excess water somewhere in the world that a struggling city-state can pull with little or no resistance, and even if not, other players will often push it to them to secure political concessions in other areas, bolster alliances, or even just to keep global trade networks stable, avert a refugee crisis, and maintain trust in the Water Distribution System, which are all generally in the best interests of the wealthy power players, so they generally don't just suck impoverished city-states dry for no reason unless there's a goal even more pressing than these general interests.
In recent years, speculative geoengineering technology has been increasingly implemented by various city-states with the goal of securing more favorable weather conditions and reversing ecological damage in their regions. Koranah, a Far South city-state and geopolitical enemy of Ikun, with the largest raw GDP (even beating Ikun, albeit not per capita), has invested heavily in building control nodes in this new system and promoting the widespread use of geoengineering across the planet. Naturally, this too is not some altruistic collective venture to save the planet, but a calculated strategy by Koranah to mirror Ikun's success at influencing global politics via the Water Distribution System, by creating an even more powerful piece of infrastructure, the Climate Control System. Naturally, the technology of the Climate Control System is far more advanced. Control nodes are essentially quasi-living factories--with inorganic protective shells and networking equipment surrounding biotech internals--that produce vast amounts of genetically engineered or outright synthetic microbes, which can block out or concentrate sunlight to alter temperatures, seed or disperse clouds to cause or prevent rainfall, break down pollutants or release beneficial trace chemicals into the atmosphere, or promote or suppress key aspects of local ecosystems from the ground up. With the use of biotechnology and genetically engineered organisms, the need to manually repair and replace these systems or come in and manually adjust settings constantly, is greatly reduced, as the low-level details can self-regulate. However, even the most basic versions of this sort of technology are much more expensive and intricate than pipelines and pumps. Additionally, global weather systems and ecologies are open, chaotic systems instead of closed, deterministic ones like water pipelines, and actions taken by control nodes in the Climate Control System have ripple effects across the world that require sophisticated modeling and advanced science to accurately predict. Thus determining a suitable strategy is two nested computationally hard problems: in order to solve for the optimal instructions to give to a particular control node, you first need to accurately predict the effects of each instruction on the environment, taking into account theoretically unlimited knock-on effects outside the system itself; it's a lot more complex than "we want water there, so we push/pull water there". So city-states with even a slight advantage in geoengineering technology and/or computing will utterly dominate. As Ikun and Koranah are neck-and-neck in the supercomputing arms race and Koranah's geoengineering is 3-5 Earth years ahead of Ikun's, the government of Ikun has gone all-out in suppressing geoengineering through its superior soft power, leveraging sanctions, treaties, and propaganda to disrupt the Climate Control System's expansion.
Curiously, while plenty of city-states import and export energy to others, there's no recognizable global grid in the same manner as the Water Distribution System or Climate Control System, with regional power trading arrangements between dozens or hundreds of city-states at most instead. There are various technical and political reasons why, but essentially energy is neither as scarce as water nor as globalized as the environment itself, so techno-political forces governing the energy industry tend to be different. Fission power provides a plurality and near-majority of the Kyanah homeworld's energy supply, about 47% in total--Ikun's nuclear monopoly does not preclude other city-states from building nuclear reactors, just nuclear weapons. Thousands of city-states have nuclear reactors, and thorium reactors have been extensively commercialized alongside uranium ones. Miniaturized fission reactors are also frequently used; the smallest are not much larger than a conventional car engine. Solar takes second place, with 27% prevalence; the Kyanah homeworld receives more solar flux than Earth and tends to have fewer clouds, so it tends to be a viable choice in most places, except those that have a polar night. There has been some commercialization of space solar, as not having to deal with nighttime or an atmosphere makes it far more efficient. So far, this is only about 1% of the global solar market, but growing fast. Coal--the only fossil fuel that exists in significant quantities--makes up 18% in total. Though it's not evenly distributed; in affluent and developed areas, fission makes up 80-90% of energy generation, while nuclear reactors are rare in developing regions where coal dominates; the Middle South, with its poor yet rapidly industrializing city-states, is also known as the Coal Belt for a reason. Fusion power is a solved problem, but only makes up 4% of global energy usage due to the severe logistical problems with finding deuterium, tritium, or helium-3. Thus far, the most practical solution has been atmospheric mining, first implemented at the system's only gas giant, Entiak-Ryitu, about 7.5 AU out, in Y927 (49 years ago; 22.5 Earth years). There are few regions where wind or hydroelectric are practical, so these only comprise a trace amount of energy output on a global scale.

First of all, thank you to this group for the tips and information especially with unbiased and straightforward information about the eruption and safety of BL. I figured I'd offer a few tips back as a thank you. Specifically, this is for families with kids. Our trip was late April for 5 days with a 6 and 7 year old. 1 night at the airport after flying in at 10pm, 2 nights in Reykjavik and 2 nights in Vik with 5pm flight out on the last day.

1. Pace yourself. My new rule of thumb is 1 rest day for every 3 sightseeing/hiking days. By the end of our 3rd day we were all completely spent and had to adjust our plans to add in a more low key day. A rest day doesn’t have to mean doing nothing. We spent a day in Vik playing on the beach, visiting horses, shopping at the souvenir places etc. it was such a great day that by the end we felt rested and brainstormed how we could extend our trip one more day haha. If you’re new to travel with kids it’s important to remember that when non parents rests at the end of a long tiring day of sight seeing you still have all the parenting (cleaning, prep for next day, bedtime) to do. It’s just as tiring on vacation as it is at home.
   
2. Get an apartment or AirBnB. Having a kitchen helped cut costs on eating out. We were right next to a grocery store in both towns and loaded up on breakfast, snacks and stuff for picnic lunches. The apartments also meant we had a washer and dryer in the unit for laundry which is awesome with kids.
   
3. Don't overbook tours. It's tempting to book them all but we only had one tour on our last day. The rest of the trip was totally self paced which meant we could spend as much or as little time as we wanted in any location and adjust as needed based on how the kids were doing. There was no pressure to get up early or reach a certain area by a certain time. It removed so much stress. It also meant we could let the kids stay a bit on US time. They stayed up late and we didn't usually hit the road before 10am which was never an issue for us. Making sure they got enough sleep was super critical to having a good day. Figure out what tours are must dos for your family and make that the main event for the day and limit driving or other travel that day.
   
4. Go in April/May. I can't imagine how different our experience would have been if we were there at peak season. My favorite locations were the ones where we were alone or mostly alone. With kids it's even more important to have some elbow room. April also means more budget friendly. We booked an apartment in Reykjavik for $250 a night and another in Vik for $350 a night. That's a steal for the location and space. And the winter landscape in my opinion is just as beautiful as the summer scape. April also meant that we had plenty of sun but that kids were going to bed in the dark which helped keep some balance.
   
5. Try Secret Lagoon. I decided to skip BL and the other spa-like ones that I really wanted don't allow kids. I know everyone suggests local pools for kids but I really wanted something different and rustic. Secret Lagoon was a great compromise. The shower was a non issue. I warned my daughter because she's all about privacy lately and she was a little nervous. I held a towel around her for privacy but when she saw that I didn't care about it myself and no one else did she got a bit more confident and forgot about it. She loved the little fairy houses and novelty of the whole place. It was raining a little and all steamy and magical.
   
6. Do your research on safety for all activities. There are some ice cave tours that allow kids 5/6 yo. I almost booked them but after looking closely at reviews and pics people had shared I really don't think I would consider that safe for kids that young. I did end up booking a private glacier hike which allowed us to be flexible with our guide and turn back anywhere we didn't feel comfortable (it turned out to be a highlight and wonderful experience - I'd recommend a private tour rather than a group tour if you have young kids). BL is another activity where safety was questionable to me. I leaned on the advice from this group and skipped it.
   

The food is amazing, the locals are wonderful, the scenery is out of this world. Just remember to be present and slow down. Try to plan so you can enjoy where you are at any moment and not worrying about a schedule. Oh and my kids’ favorites were eating gummy bears 🙄, rainbow street, the cat cafe, the glacier hike, riding a horse and all the rainbows 😊.

I’ve assumed my slew of mental and physical symptoms for the last 2 years were due to grief (lost my mom and my boy kitty) and menopause. I also had Covid 9 months ago. But my manual holistic physical therapist (who has Hashimotos) and my acupuncturist both asked me to get tested for it and get a FULL thyroid panel. I have since read that only 80-90% of ppl w Hashimotos have the antibodies and they diagnose via symptoms and thyroid U/S.
Ok. First, the labs. My T4 and T3 are not only within range, but PERFECT—smack dab in the middle.
My free T4 is in range but low. Really low.
My T3 uptake is the bottom number, lol—technically in range, but the bottom number.
Oddly, my TSH is (in range but) low (!)…
Hashimotos antibodies, negative.
I have 3 micronodules. They’re mildly hypoechoic. One has rim calcification that’s interrupted. A serum test (can’t remember name) they ran had a super low number, meaning the likelihood of cancer is super low. All of the lymph nodes in my neck are swollen. My WBC is high end of range but within range. No leukemia or lymphoma markers. This post is about Hypo, anyway. Severe folate deficiency. Taking methyl folate daily now. Had b12 deficiency (also severe); cobalmethyl something or other sublingual drops worked. Fine now. I used to be anemic but am not now.
I feel like my body is attacking itself. I do not have MS. Kidneys etc perfect. Rheumatoid factor, negative. Celiac, negative. C-reactive protein, negative.
Symptoms
Intolerance to cold (hot flashes aside)
Stiff joints
Loss of eyebrow hair, outer 1/3 (left only so far)
Brittle hair, breaking (meno?)
Swollen face (I do eat a lot of salt)
Swollen tongue confirmed by my dentist - 1.3-1.5 x its normal size
Slurring sometimes. Sometimes it’s mild and sometimes it’s like a drunk person trying to enunciate. (Lungs and chest etc are great)
Slight neuropathy in right hand, can’t “pinch” to carry cardboard but can grip all day
Huge change in waist size (I’ve always been slender and even with weight gain have had a corset like waist)
Lower belly fat that is not hard
Heavy legs - feeling - as well as extra fat in right saddlebag
Swollen ankles
Brittle and thin fingernails
Brittle and thick toenails with vertical and ridges on all and horizontal on big toes
Bruising when I touch something (folate)
Extreme fatigue like when I had severe Covid—every day around 3pm, no matter how much sleep or what I’ve eaten or how much water coffee etc. can’t keep eyes open. Walking through mud. Intense. Horrible. Every day.
Cardio—takes forever for pulse to go back down (but that may be large blood cells and or folate deficiency)
Brain fog that’s beyond normal, even for my perimenopausal state.
Seeming inability to lose weight.
Almost impossible to gain muscle even with exercise regimen.
Depression (grief)
Panic.
Blurred vision on the regular, which could be stress.
My blood pressure is great. So were my lung and heart listens at my primary care.

Hi, background, I worked at 2 different facilities on 4 different accelerators, in my mid to late 20's, haven't in awhile, can't name names and I can't name what I did specifically, sorry. I may have some short hand with how I talk about designs of machines/accelarators. I was struck by this episode and I wanted to weigh in
So there a few great things they get right:
1: yeah, these things can be huge, some linear accelerators/LINAC(s) can be small, it all depends. This episode clearly was either shot on location at CERN or on sound stages that look like it, you have to take a company work van to get around CERN from the size so I can understand the scooters for some closer transportation.

1. Yeah, you wear radiation badges when you are around them, stray radiation (usually alpha) from small linears is a thing and you can have activated material (radioactive) around you even when one is off. This can happen because of high energy collisions of, any particle and with extremely power high photon beams. But the labs I worked at didn't use the tags as shown, those are more common with working around nuclear reactors or around radiation sources, what was more common was standard dosimeter badges that around tri or quad annually tested to be worn around potential activation from either components removed from the machine, or installed parts of a machine.
   
2. For colliders, they are very sensitive, so coveralls are common for reasons described .
   
3. Oh, a particle accelerator in New York that is a collider, that collides protons and electrons, last year they did use gold particles. The words 'so Brookhaven is now haunted' came out of my mouth
   
4. You get all kinds of people working on accelerators, some with really weird senses of humor, technicians usually tend to go towards the very weird but almost always are at least as smart as physics people
   
5. Oh yes, there are shortcuts that can happen in some way, safety is almost never compromised, never happened at all in my career or in people I replaced careers, but a sink hole is something I would expect to be literally paved over, the only way it would be a problem would be if it compromises the alignment, reliability or structural integrity of the entire device
   
6. the sound and the atmosphere; this is so close to real life, it is a weird and unearthly place especially in an unplanned instance, and just so cool. It can be creepy, random power outages do happen during service intervals, but they are announced usually, but outages can slip through the cracks
   

What they got wrong and kinda wrong:

1. Ben should be pretty messed up, proton therapy for cancer is a thing, if it was an electron beam, he should be dead. Proton therapy works because of the mass of them, but he should have at least a burn, hallucinations/bad dreams is a thing with such a radiation event. There should have been a lot more fallout even if the cast was ok, they should be in containment for *days*. If that was an electron beam, no beam should be possible in atmosphere unless it is high enough energy, which would kill everyone there. When you have a particle that interacts and slows down, it sheds that energy as radiation, something like this happened in Hanoi, I recommend watching Kyle Hill's video on it 'what happens if you put your hand in a particle accelerator'
   
2. The 'detector' part is accurate and the overall look is iconic, but no beam is in atmosphere like that, it cannot exist, particle beams almost always travel in extremely long vacuum chambers, sometimes reaching around the pressure of low earth orbit. The vacuum 'level' depends on any number of factors
   
3. Yeah, that incident shouldn't have happened, they mentioned breakers, that irl usually are manually locked off by everyone who would be in the vicinity of the shut off accelerator and it can't be started until all locks are removed. You don't need to do this in 'early' side/upstream of some linear accelerators, but I wouldn't recommend it.
   
4. Magnets, how do they work. They are used to bend and/or manipulate the beam, again, it depends on the design. Electromagnets are common for very high powered machines, you reaaaallly don't want to be around those magnets when they turn on as they can rip tools out of you hands at over 20 feet and there is severe electrocution risk outside of a grounded cage. Permanent magnets aren't as hazardous, but they can pull tools out of your hands at 12 feet away when it comes to 'steering' magnets. Yeah, the cast is in amazing danger if those magnets which I think are electromagnets, are engaged, at least on par with around a radiation source
   
5. ok major black eye, there are no vacuum chambers. For virtually any particle beam to exist outside of some lasers, you *need* vacuum chambers, so actual incidences with beams are highly unlikely outside of photon beams or resulting radiation
   
6. Oh god, the quark spin crisis and micro black holes. I'm just so tired. so tired. Yeah, a cascade event is theoretically possible, but the only way for a black hole to be threat is to actually be of significant mass, and one the size of a few molecules is a laughable
   

Even with my complaints, this is more accurate than almost anything else I've seen, it isn't The Flash TV series, which I loved, but I hated the accelerator bits because, just dump the beam, what is wrong with you people. Probably the best representation outside of dedicated hard scifi, I had a great time
