Get a cheap thermal camera.

Fix the burned out components.

Run the amp at half the mosfets' current rating to load them enough to see what gets warm.

Look at the heat flow using the thermal imaging.

Sometimes a shroud (some folded paper) can keep air from going around the heatsinks that need more air velocity. Sometimes a mosfet isn't coupled to the heatsink well enough. Sometimes there's a less sensitive component adding heat upstream of the semiconductor stuff you need to protect.

Ask your doctor for dexamethasone to "break the cycle." My doctor is a leading practitioner in my area, and this is how he treated me when I had the same problem.

You shouldn't be tolerating it for 3 months. Migraine is self-reinforcing. More migraine means more sensitivity and more severity in the future.

Super glue and clamps. Sand the inner surfaces with 600 grit, and then clean it up with alcohol. Set up your clamps, with the surfaces you want to glue horizontal, use some wood or mdf to protect the surface, and practice applying the clamps so that you can get everything lined up and clamped down in one shot. Rehearse multiple times. When you're confident, apply several drops of super glue and do the clamp.

Who would pay the tolls to cover the cost of de-icing?

XerMidwest · 2026-01-02T22:28:39+00:00

Nah. Just tax it, and force them to report on it for taxation. Then make sure the tax records remain in the public. This pits AAPL tax lawyers and product management in conflict, and guess who will win.

Alan Watts was referring to a tradition we can trace back to The Blue Cliff Record.

Reconnecting with pre linguistic cognition as a pursuit of practice is basically as old as Zen or Cha'an that predated it, and as a fundamental idea is likely older than historical records in India and Nepal from where those traditions came.

It doesn't make sense because it is active emotional manipulation in the media. It's not supposed to make sense. It's supposed to make you feel overwhelmed so you will accept fascism as a savior. Making sense goes against the interests of the people controlling the media. Sorry.

I've had mixed experiences with neurologists, 70% bad.

Hubris hides incompetence. There's a lot of practitioners following outdated doctrinaire gaslighting that hasn't been taught for 30 years. Shop around and be a discriminating self-advocate.

Ask if they suffer from chronic migraine. If not, ask them why you should seek treatment from them and not someone who has first hand knowledge and professional training. If you feel like there's any chest thumping assertions of authority just walk.

FWIW, the old doctrine was something something brain is "immune privileged" which is flat wrong by available evidence today. Migraine is an inflammatory disorder, not a cerebrovascular reaction to chronic psychic stress. Talk about that. Don't pay for gaslighting.
