I blame cable/broadcast TV. It's impossible for me to stay focused on a show because there were always recaps after commercial breaks.

It's way easier to "get out of it (addiction)" with help than it is to try on your own. Yes, you could potentially do it on your own, but if all it took was just wanting to stop the addiction was all it took, then we wouldn't have millions struggling with addiction in this world. It's not a willpower thing, that's only part of it. You need trained counselors, doctors, or sponsors depending on the path you choose.

That might not be super difficult if you were able to train a smart assistant what a fire/smoke/CO detector sounded like. When >3 chirps are detected play myvoice.wav. Even easier if you could hardwire the circuit in the detector to the speaker. Sounds totally doable with a RaspberryPi or similar.

Some have figured out that you can threaten but they still won't budge banking on the status quo bias to keep you with them. Even when faced with competitor pricing they won't give a discount. Don't even give them the warning, just leave. Be a well informed consumer.

I thought for a second that I somehow hadn't heard of Bophades. When they talked about Bophades nuts, I remembered I saw them in your mom's mouth.

It hasn't been documented yet, sure, I'll give you that. You and I both have no idea if it has happened already and the patients didn't get tested or they didn't go to the hospital or doctor with the bird flu. They might not have even realized they had the flu.
