It's a wonderful feeling

As @[email protected] said. However it also has to do with temperature. I work primarily with lime mortar, so hard limit without additives is 5°C. And honestly I don't really like to risk it when it might drop to 6° either. With cement mortar mixes you can get a little bit lower, 3 or 4°C. With cement and an anhydrous additive you can work to like -5° but you still need to wrap it with something to retain heat. Insulated tarpaulin or multiple layers of hessian with a tarpaulin over top.

My boomer mom used to flatline every AA battery in the house using my Gameboy to play Tetris. Once I started hiding it she told me (20 years later) that she would dream about Tetris and had withdrawal. Once my aunt gave me her old windows 3.1 laptop I would often find it with solitaire still open. She never said anything about dreaming about solitaire though.

That really sucks. Lay it on me if you want. My childhood wasn't great my mum was really abusive for most of it, but despite that I always knew I was loved. Not to excuse her actions, but there was a lineage of pain and abuse. She sought help, and got better at dealing with her own trauma, which made my younger siblings' early years easier.

I'm sorry you didn't get the love and care you needed.

I'm the oldest of 6, so I got everything first. Mostly. Do you really feel like you weren't the favourite? I know parents sometimes have a favourite, but mine never treated any of us differently. Except for the one sib born a girl, they were pampered af.

no idea what this person's bar for "unusable" is.

Could be someone with a visual impairment. Doesn't excuse their behaviour or pushing an LLM written PR with no actual interaction with the process.... wouldn't really give them the benefit of the doubt though. Sounds like someone with a "solution" looking for a "problem".
