#if you don't schedule downtime and maintenance

[ms-demeanor]

Hello,Do you have any tips for recovering from internet brain rot? It's like my patience has dried up and if there's a huge amount of text (even about topics I'm very interested in) that I have to read, I get annoyed and just don't interact with the material at all.

I have multiple tips!

TL;DR (Because of course I generated a wall of text): Take a break from the internet, create a schedule for getting yourself used to reading longer texts, take breaks while reading, and perhaps reconsider how you interact with The Internet and the world in general.

Here are the basic "to reduce the brain rot just don't interact" tips:

Take a break. Give yourself time off from The Internet (for these purposes The Internet is the social media industrial complex; clickbait news, recommended videos, social media sites, etc. You don't have to totally check out of email or your local news site, just get away from the huge time sucks). I'd say to take at least one day a week where you're online for less than an hour a day, and to maybe work up to doing a week-long break from whatever the main agents of rot are.

Once you've identified the main agents of rot, give yourself a time limit or set up rules for yourself. I don't let myself look at social media in bed, for instance; no staying up late on my phone, no scrolling before I get up and start my day. I don't give myself a strict time limit anymore, but for a while there I was very firm about "you only get to go online 4 hours a day" with myself.

Don't comment (or at least only share the things you really want to share). If you feel the need to argue, or if you feel pressured into sharing something, don't. Step back, maybe even open the post in a new tab or send it to yourself, and come back later. If you've been thinking about it and have decided it IS something you care enough to talk about, share it. If you look at the tab and feel stressed out or still feel reactive, close the tab and walk away.

Go out and interact with the real world in a non-work capacity for a few hours a week; take walks or go shopping or go out and take pictures of insects. Touch grass so that The Internet is not the only thing you're doing with your downtime.

Here are the "work on reading longer texts specifically" tips:

Set a reading goal for yourself. Maybe you want to read one New Yorker article a week, maybe you want to read all the way through news articles, maybe you want to read novels like you used to in high school. Figure out what your actual goal is and articulate that goal to yourself.

Set up a practice schedule and gradually increase the amount of time you're reading. Don't go from short tumblr posts to a novella, go from short tumblr posts to slightly longer news articles, then to slightly longer essays, then to a novella. You can do this in literal paragraphs if you want to - maybe your goal for your first day is to read five paragraphs in a row, and the second day is seven, and the third day is ten, etc, until you are comfortably reading for longer amounts of time without counting paragraphs. (Try this with books from gutenberg.org; read a classic you haven't read a few paragraphs at a time and if you find yourself going over your paragraph count, let yourself run with it. If you finish a book, good for you, find another one and start again.)

Set up a maintenance schedule. If your goal is to read longer news pieces, try to read a longer piece every week and try to read to the end of every news article you open. If your goal is to read novels or longer nonfiction, try to read a book a month (maybe setting aside dedicated time each week to read, maybe Thursday evenings are book time now). If you find yourself falling back into old habits, take a break from The Internet and do some more rigorous practice for a while.

If you find yourself getting frustrated while you are reading you can also take a break! Read until you get frustrated and then *instead of switching to a different page or closing the article* close your eyes or look out the window or away from the screen for thirty seconds (count 'em! count out the time in your head) and then continue reading. You can also take a longer pause and sit and think about why you're getting frustrated. Is it the subject matter? Is it just looking at this text for longer than a couple minutes (if you are experiencing FOMO because you're reading for another few minutes instead of scrolling, the harder tips at the bottom are going to be important to you)? Are you comfortable? Are you reading this text to procrastinate from something and the procrastination is making you nervous? Are you trying to read to the bottom of your dash and reading a long post is taking up more time than you want while scrolling? Are you bored? Genuinely and very seriously: are your eyes straining and does your head hurt (if this is the case when is the last time you had your eyes checked or your glasses prescription updated)?

Here are the much harder "examine yourself and reassess your reactions to things" tips:

Work on re-training your attention span.

Identify something that you enjoy and find deeply engaging, and schedule some dedicated time for that thing. Set a literal timer (it can be a short amount of time at first) and sit down and do the thing without switching to a different website or opening up an app on your phone. This can be re-reading or watching a couple episodes of a show you like or listening to your favorite album while you sit down and draw. What's important is to spend a longer time focusing on doing something you DO like before attempting to spend a longer time focusing on something you DON'T like.

When you're starting on things you DON'T like, start with things you mildly don't like, or that feel tedious but aren't actually unpleasant. One way I do this is by transcribing poetry; I look up poems that I connect to and I transcribe them into a notebook that I have for that purpose. I enjoy having the finished product, but I don't enjoy the process, so it takes some effort to stick with it. Maybe there is a boring book you have been trying to get through, maybe you need to detail your car, maybe you've been trying to take up embroidery - these are good things to make yourself pay attention to (having music or a podcast on can help, but avoid watching videos or opening social apps)

When you're okay at that kind of thing (doing something not actively unpleasant) work on your attention span for things you ACTIVELY don't like. I don't think you should be a masochist about this, but you should work on being okay with doing unpleasant things for a sustained period of time. All of us have to do unpleasant stuff sometimes, and it's better to be able to pay attention to it for an hour at a time than it is to put it off forever.

This leads into the next Big Tip which is:

Work on being less reactive

Find something that you dislike; I'm going to use conservative talk radio as my example.

Expose yourself to the disliked thing for short periods of time (under ten minutes, maybe under five minutes).

Work on moderating your emotions during the time spent exposed to the disliked thing. If it makes you angry, work on intellectualizing the anger without becoming agitated by it. If it makes you sad, work on accepting that sadness without letting it drag down your mood. This isn't precisely about becoming numb to stimuli, but it is about being more in control of how your emotional reactions impact you.

Analyze the disliked thing. Why does it make you angry? Is that on purpose by the creator of the thing? Would it make someone else angry in the same way? How would you explain the anger to a neutral third party?

Consider responding instead of reacting. Let's say you're seeing a lot of very sad and upsetting things online and it's making you sad and upsetting you. You re-share these things because you don't feel like there's anything else you can do or you get angry when you see people sharing incorrect information, perhaps you argue with people about this. Now try looking at the upsetting things through the lens of point number four. This has upset you; how has it upset you? And once you've thought about how it upset you and have articulated that to yourself, find out what you can DO. I cannot make conservative talk radio go off the air, but I can support the groups harmed by conservative talk radio; thus there is no point in me getting upset and angry about conservative talk radio when I could be helping the people they target instead.

And that gets us to the last big tip which is:

Ask yourself if you are spending your time in a way that is enjoyable and edifying.

We all have limited time in our days and limited time in our lives. If you are finding yourself frequently frustrated online, it's a good time to consider whether you want to be spending so much time online.

If you feel like The Internet has become a rat race in which you can't read more than a few paragraphs without getting frustrated, there's a good chance that not only are you spending too much time on The Internet, but you're also spending it on doing things that you don't particularly like.

A realization like yours, Anon, that you are getting frustrated with any longer texts, can actually be really helpful because it provides a good opportunity to look at what you're engaging with and consider the questions:

Is this something I enjoy?

Do I feel good when I do this thing?

And that's a great way to figure out how to get rid of things that are leading to your background frustration. Maybe that looks like paring down the list of blogs you follow, maybe that looks like unsubscribing from some youtubers and podcasts, maybe that looks like uninstalling apps, maybe that looks like blocking a whole bunch of people and terms on your socials.

I don't think that everything we do has to help us grow as a person or expand our consciousness or anything like that, but I do think it's important to prioritize doing things that you like and doing things that you feel good about.

Like, I'm not doing something *wrong* if I spend an afternoon on Youtube watching drama channels every once in a while, but if I come out of a few afternoons of watching youtube drama channels feeling restless and anxious and like I wasted my time - even if I enjoyed myself while I was watching - it's probably a good idea for me to take a break from drama channels and see if there's something I can do instead that will make me feel better.

ALSO, A NOTE:

You are an animal that requires significant enrichment in your enclosure.

Think about tigers. Tigers in captivity are going to be excited to get high-value treats for any reason. They will eat and enjoy the treats. But if a tiger in captivity is only given the treats and never given any other form of activity to engage with, it is not going to be a happy tiger. If you start putting their treats in a pumpkin or a puzzle feeder or giving them toys to play with, that is going to be a much happier tiger.

Please give your brain things to play with that are more than just treats (though it does need some treats!). Make yourself a happy tiger. Your brain need a puzzle feeder, not a treat button.

something something, if you don't schedule downtime for maintenance, the downtime will schedule itself for you...?

[fereldanwench]

I know folks are super jaded when it comes to hearing all the "Site ABC is dying! Join site XYZ instead!" suggestions, but I am gonna give Pillowfort a little love under the circumstances. If it's not for you, it's not for you, but I've been enjoying it since I started using it more over the past several months.

A few relevant highlights:

No AI bullshit! Not only are they not partnering with any goddamn AI companies to scrap our work, but they even have a policy prohibiting images created with generative AI! (You can read more on their staff blog.)

No inconsistently enforced and often arbitrary rules about NSFW content! It's all allowed, baby! (Again, I recommend reading this staff post for the deets.)

Has a lot of the actually good features Tumblr has... You can save drafts! You can queue posts! You can schedule posts! You can filter content!

... And good features Tumblr lacks! A robust commenting system! An improved reblogging system that prevents outdated versions of a post from circulating! Communities!

It also has an Xkit-esque extension to improve native features! I highly recommend checking out Tassel!

So what's the catch, right? It's definitely not perfect, and some things might be a deal-breaker for some folks:

It does not (currently) support audio or video posts. You can embed YouTube videos and the like, but you can't upload them directly to Pillowfort.

For free users, the image size limit is 2 MB, which might be a deterrent to GIF makers. (For $2.49/month, you can upgrade that to 6 MB.)

The design is pretty bare-bones and can be a little clunky in some areas. There's also no app, although my understanding is the website is pretty responsive on mobile devices. (Can't personally confirm or deny this as I don't use it on my phone.)

It does have more maintenance and downtime than Tumblr, although I haven't found it too disruptive.

It's also generally a slower experience, so if you're looking for a super fast-paced dash you can never reach the end of, you might find it lacking.

And I don't consider this a deal breaker, but it is worth mentioning that because there are no advertisers on Pillowfort, that means it's user-funded. It will likely never have the flashier features of Tumblr because of this, but if you chip in a few bucks a month, you can get some fun perks, like the increased image size and extra avatars (which I personally love.)

My fort is very NSFW (porn gifs my beloved) but is otherwise very similar to what I post here. I also have a whopping FIFTY (50) registration invites I can send out, if anyone is interested in getting on there ASAP.

And lastly, for my CP77 mutuals, especially my Goro babies, I did set up a little Goro community to share any and all Goro fanworks, ships, brainrot, etc. Most of the posts there right now are from me, and I'd love to see some more variety. :3 (Intro post with rules is here!)

Look no further than Botox face treatments! 🌟 At The Skin Care Studio in CT, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty through innovative cosmetic solutions. Let's delve into the world of Botox and uncover how this treatment can transform your skin.

What is Botox?

Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a popular cosmetic injectable used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles responsible for causing wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. 💉 Botox is FDA-approved and has been trusted by millions worldwide for its remarkable anti-aging effects.

The Botox Procedure

During a Botox treatment at The Skin Care Studio, a skilled practitioner will strategically inject small doses of Botox into targeted areas of your face. Common areas treated include forehead lines, crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with minimal downtime, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment! 🕒

Benefits of Botox Face Treatments

1. Reduces Wrinkles: Botox effectively softens and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful complexion.

2. Prevents Future Lines: By relaxing facial muscles, Botox can prevent new wrinkles from forming, especially in areas prone to repetitive movements.

3. Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, Botox is non-invasive and requires no incisions or extensive recovery time.

4. Boosts Confidence: Achieve smoother, more radiant skin and feel more confident in your appearance.

Is Botox Right for You?

Botox treatments are suitable for individuals looking to address signs of aging without undergoing surgery. It's important to consult with our experienced team at The Skin Care Studio to determine if Botox is the right option for you. We customize each treatment plan to meet your unique goals and preferences.

Conversations are hard, but you're doing okay. I feel okay, knowing you can say to me what you wanted to say.

Another Bunnon interaction, I left it private as well, I know you didn't ask but you seemed a little embarrassed, so I think maybe it was more for me than for my account -- and our secrets, Bunnon, remain our secrets.. Speaking of, I am also working on a turtles fan project! ..I'm not sure when I start, but I recently got accepted into a group to work on the ROTTMNT "New Age" (season 3) fan project. Good luck on your secret stuff!

For the time... uh.. I have a weird schedule, I'm sorry if it worries you, I get enough sleep usually. This week has been hard for me to update in particular because I have relatives visiting on their holiday vacation, tomorrow in fact. I've been very busy running errands and cleaning up my place, and I had to schedule a lot of people to do at-home maintenance (deep cleaning, vent repair, new lights, etc.) and haven't had a lot of time to myself, so I stay up much later to get my personal time back. I tend to wake up either slightly before or slightly after noon, and then I go to bed whenever based on how I feel.. usually between 3 - 4 AM, lol.

Ah, we are the same.... are you sure you're not just me??

All of my influences are inspired by anime and nerdy stuff. My facial expressions, at least I thought had a bit of an anime influence, but don't worry, I'm equally as much of a nerd except replace D&D with. . . . . . League Of Legends. Oh yes, Bunnon, I am very much a nerd... To be a LoL player is the highest level of degeneracy known to normiekind, aside from uhhh.. well, illegal stuff and those people who have characters in jars. I read lots of stuff, same as you, but also growing up, I collected Manga for series I liked, even the not so innocent and definitely NSFW ones.. (I brought them to school to read in my downtime during classes haha). I had a big musical phase, you could actually still see all of my old stuff on my main account, where I was not only a big Hamilton fan, but I was also a . . John Hancock fan? He deserved to be in the musical too! I took a random extra from the OG Broadway recording and gave them an identity, and that had been my headcanon ever since. I also was an avid Thomdosia shipper, because Theo deserved a classy, uptown bougie Jefferson to make her day (don't ask how it happened, i literally, do not remember, it was on Amino, that's all I know). Hmm, is there anything else I could say to make you hate me.......

ALL OF THAT TO SAY, NO, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED! Never be scared of or ashamed of who you are. If people don't like YOU, Bunnon, then you don't need them anyway! You will always find someone who wants you. Everything and all that you are. Thank you for the ask again! I'll try to post more stuff during the actual day, just for you. (─‿‿─) stay tuned...

New Horizons and the Sea Balrog

Most of the collection sites on this voyage are pretty deep by my standards. The shallowest trawls are at around 200-300m (there is a 50m site on the schedule).

By my standards, that's incredibly deep!

This voyage is sampling deepwater canyons and the abyssal plain. We've trawled down to 2000m so far; this morning's trawl was 1500m.

Not as much stuff came up as I would have expected, and even though the tow video showed a decent number of my beloved feather stars (crinoids), none of them made it into the trawl (woe! woe and despair!).

That's mainly because the crinoids were hanging about on some rugged and rocky terrain, and that makes it difficult to sample without damaging the trawl.

That doesn't mean there weren't some weird and gorgeous thingammies to discover - please enjoy this brittle star (it is small and I was taking the photo with my phone and the boat was moving, bear with me).

Please also enjoy this glass sponge, from the family Hexactillidae, which kind of looks like human hair (someone thought it looked like a Certain Internationally Famous Hairpiece), but those really are siliceous spicules, and they are very sharp and very nasty!

I spent quite some time pulling splinters off a sea cucumber (holothurian) from that catch. The cukes secrete mucous, the glass splinters get stuck in the mucous, so tidying up the specimens is like... you know, the High Maintenance Holothurians and the Sea Cucumber Salon deserve a little post of their own, so: watch this space.

(I'll knock that up when I can get some before and after shots of the makeover.)

We're getting into the deeper sites now, which does mean smaller catches to sort and process and document, and it also means significantly more downtime between operations. That's because it takes time to winch out the net down to the appropriate depth, and then to winch it back up at the end of the transect.

("Transect" -> when your samples of the environment are arranged along a line. This works really well for deeper off-shore sampling, as everything from the deep tow camera to the various trawl nets and sleds, dredges, sledges, etc. all get pulled in a line. We have other point sampling techniques in use, like baited fish traps, and in shallower sites, marine ecologists often sample using quadrats or larval settlement plates. There are myriad options.)

I noted above that this voyage is doing a bunch of abyssal sampling, and, for those who don't know, that's not me being hyperbolic or taking liberties with adjectives (though that would be very much on-brand).

"Abyssal" is a formal definition of oceanic depth, referring to the plains that spread out below the continental shelves (2000 to 6000m depth). The deepest designation is "Hadal" (ie: Hades) (deeper than 6000m). That's Mariana Trench territory.

(We are not trawling in Hades. Have you tried untangling a three headed dog from a beam trawl?! The animal ethics paperwork alone is a disaster, and don't even ask me about the PPE requirements.)

One of the challenges we're facing on this voyage is that the most efficient and effective method for processing the catch is going to vary depending on how big the catch is, how deep it came up from, and thus how "lively" it is.

I called this "New Horizons" at the top because I haven't had much experience with these deeper sites. My last voyage was intense in large part because the vast majority of the sampling sites were very shallow, and this means it differs from the current voyage in two key aspects.

Firstly, the sheer quantity of material. Shallow water in the tropics is always going to be a treasure trove of abundant biodiversity. A phenomenal amount of material needed to be sorted, counted, barcoded, weighed, preserved, and sometimes photographed, and ideally you want to make sure that you keep your specimens alive as long as possible so they're not degraded by the time they end up in preservative... whether that's ethanol, formalin (eww) or the -20C freezer).

The other consideration is that... well... your specimens often come up alive in the first place (sidebar: yes, there are animal ethics guidelines in place. Certain groups need to be anaesthetised with care, including fish, cephalopods - squid, octopus, cuttlefish - and crustaceans. We take those ethics very seriously, I promise. On my last voyage, one of my pre-trawl duties was to prepare a freshly brewed vat of magnesium chloride for the cephs).

If your specimens are alive, that means they're in the best state for any photography and also preservation. We want the actual morphology (body shape, etc.) of the specimen to be as close to the living state as possible, because that will vastly improve the downstream taxonomic work (ie, putting a species name on the critters).

Downstream genetic analysis is also an essential concern. We need to keep in mind that DNA begins to degrade as soon as an animal dies, and it will obviously degrade faster in warmer conditions. If an animal is soft-bodied and needs to be preserved in formalin, tissue needs to be taken as a subsample and preserved in ethanol.

(Formalin and DNA do not play nicely with each other. There have been various methods developed to deal with this, but they are generally labour intensive and not reliable.)

So: what does this mean for the rough sorting end of the process? How does this affect the demesne of the Bucket Queen?

Well, if the critters are lively, the best thing to do while the rough sort is taking place is to put them in seawater, maybe with some seawater ice to keep them cool. Manage the sorting in such a way that the water in the buckets does not get fouled (see previous post). Critters that need to be gently relaxed need to go into the relevant anaesthetic.

But if the critters are already on their way out, at that point the concern is to attempt to prevent DNA degradation as much as possible; and if there's a relatively small catch, this can be done with rotating bins of ice to carry unsorted invertebrates into the lab space (which is humid, but does actually have A/C). The specimens can then be sorted into smaller trays on the benches, also on ice with a little bit of water.

In this case, the buckets aren't going to be especially useful (woe! woe unto me!).

This works pretty well with a modestly sized catch.

The various critters all require different approaches. Soft corals and jellies are very fragile and, even in cold seawater, they will deteriorate quickly. The squishy things are high priority! Soft corals get photographed, barcoded, and dropped in ethanol; jellies get photographed (hastily), tissue subsampled for DNA, then in formalin.

Other squishy things that need careful attention are the High Maintenance Holothurians mentioned above - I am not used to them, and I'm still fine-tuning that process.

The problem is that there is, ultimately, a requirement for triage. How do we ensure we get the best possible sampling of the biodiversity of the region, which samples of sufficient quality to allow good taxonomic work and good genetic analyses?

How do we ensure the soft corals get dealt with before they degrade while also trying to rescue the sea cucumbers before they panic and explode, leaving only scraps of bright skin, leaky intestines and disappointment?

How do we balance the need for detailed live colour photographs (it is really important to generate these for many groups, wherever possible) against the need to preserve the specimen as quickly as possible?

I'm about to hit the hay, but even as I type this, the beam trawl is down at around 4000m depth. The alternate shift invertebrate team could see some extremely rare things, and doubtless they will see some new species as well (and some will realise that's what they've got straight away, and some will need time to go through their specimens with a microscope).

There are wonders down there. We do the best we can for them.

As long as we don't delve too deeply and too greedily, in which case we may need to be on the lookout for a Sea Balrog, and we do not have enough magnesium chloride for that.

If you don't schedule maintenance and downtime for your equipment (in this case: your brain and body,) then your equipment will schedule it for you (or shut down entirely.)

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

Top Rated Certified Mobile Car Mechanics | InstantCarFix

In today's fast-paced world, convenience is key—and when your car breaks down or requires maintenance, it can be a huge inconvenience to take time off work or rearrange your schedule to visit an auto repair shop. This is where a Mobile car mechanic   comes in, offering you a practical and time-saving solution for a wide range of vehicle repair and maintenance needs. Whether you're stranded on the side of the road, parked at home, or unable to get to a shop due to time constraints, a mobile mechanic can come directly to you.

What Is a Mobile Car Mechanic?

A Mobile car mechanic is a skilled automotive professional who operates a fully equipped service vehicle to provide on-site repairs, diagnostics, and maintenance. Rather than you having to bring your car into a traditional repair shop, the mechanic travels to your location, whether it's at your home, office, or even in a parking lot. This type of service is especially convenient for minor repairs, routine maintenance, emergency fixes, and diagnostic services.

Why Choose a Mobile Car Mechanic?

Convenience and Time-Saving One of the biggest advantages of hiring a mobile car mechanic is the time saved. You don't need to worry about taking your vehicle to a shop and waiting in line. The mechanic comes to you at a time that works best for your schedule, reducing downtime and disruption to your daily life.

Cost-Effective Services Many mobile mechanics offer more affordable rates than traditional auto repair shops. This is because they don't have the overhead costs associated with maintaining a physical storefront or large teams. As a result, you get high-quality service at a fraction of the price.

Expert Diagnostics and Repairs Mobile car mechanics are usually highly experienced and skilled professionals with access to the same tools and diagnostic equipment used in brick-and-mortar shops. Whether your car is experiencing a strange noise, poor performance, or a warning light on the dashboard, a mobile mechanic can accurately diagnose and repair the issue.

Emergency Assistance A mobile mechanic is invaluable in emergency situations. If your vehicle breaks down in the middle of the road or refuses to start at an inconvenient time, a mobile mechanic can come to your location quickly and either fix the issue on-site or provide temporary solutions to get you back on the road.

Wide Range of Services Mobile mechanics can handle a wide variety of tasks, from oil changes and brake pad replacements to engine repairs and battery replacements. Many also provide tire repairs and replacements, electrical diagnostics, transmission repairs, and other common car services, saving you a trip to a specialist.

Types of Services Offered by Mobile Car Mechanics

Routine Maintenance This includes oil changes, fluid checks and replacements, air filter replacements, spark plug inspections, and tire rotations. Regular maintenance helps keep your car running smoothly and can prevent major issues from arising.

Diagnostics If your dashboard is showing warning lights or your car is making strange noises, a mobile mechanic can quickly diagnose the problem using specialized equipment. Many can also read error codes from the car's computer system, helping pinpoint issues like faulty sensors, transmission problems, or engine misfires.

Brake Repairs and Replacement Brakes are one of the most important safety components of your vehicle. Mobile mechanics can inspect, repair, or replace brake pads, rotors, and even fluid, ensuring your car's braking system is functioning properly.

Battery Services If your car won't start, it may be due to a dead or failing battery. Mobile mechanics can test your battery, replace it if necessary, and even provide jump-start services to get you back on the road.

Tire Services Mobile mechanics can perform tire repairs, rotations, and replacements. If you have a flat tire or need a new set, they'll come to your location and get your car rolling again.

Engine Repairs If your engine is having problems, a mobile mechanic can perform essential diagnostics and repair work, including replacing spark plugs, fixing fuel injection systems, or addressing overheating issues.

Transmission Repairs Transmission problems are among the most complex to deal with, but many mobile mechanics are qualified to handle minor transmission repairs and fluid changes, potentially saving you a trip to a specialty shop.

How Does a Mobile Mechanic Work?

Contacting the Mechanic You can either book an appointment online or call the mechanic directly. Describe the issue you're experiencing, and the mechanic will give you an estimated timeframe for their arrival.

Diagnosis and Estimate Once the mechanic arrives at your location, they'll inspect your vehicle to diagnose the problem. Depending on the issue, they may provide an estimate for parts and labor. For more complex repairs, they may offer to take your car to a shop or recommend a follow-up service.

Repairs on-site For minor repairs or routine maintenance, the mechanic can usually fix the problem right there. If the issue requires special equipment or parts, they may offer to schedule a follow-up visit or direct you to a nearby shop.

Payment and Warranty After the job is completed, you can pay for the service through various methods, including credit card, mobile payment apps, or cash. Many mobile mechanics also offer encouragement on their work, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is in good hands.

When Should You Call a Mobile Mechanic?

Breakdowns and Emergencies : If you experience a sudden breakdown on the road, a mobile mechanic can come to your location, diagnose the issue, and perform emergency repairs to get you back on track.

Routine Maintenance : Scheduling regular maintenance like oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks is a great way to prevent breakdowns and keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Unusual Noises or Warning Lights : If you hear strange noises coming from your car or notice dashboard warning lights, a mobile mechanic can perform diagnostics and identify any underlying issues.

Flat Tires : Whether you're at home, work, or on the road, a mobile mechanic can repair or replace flat tires, saving you the hassle of trying to change it yourself.

Battery Issues : A dead battery can strike at any time. Mobile mechanics offer quick battery replacements and jump-starts, so you're never stranded for long.

Conclusion

A Mobile car mechanic is an ideal solution for anyone looking for convenience, affordability, and quality in their automotive services. By offering flexible scheduling, expert repairs, and on-the-go services, mobile mechanics makes car ownership easier and more efficient. Whether it's a simple oil change, a tire issue, or an emergency breakdown, having access to a reliable mechanic who comes to you can save you time, money, and stress.

yup there's a clear difference between free time where you could be doing anything you wanted and recovery/maintenance/downtime where you just need to Not. and messaging a friend or watching a film is all you can do during that time.

also, so much "free" time is then lost to other maintenance or misc tasks you gotta do. lately I've been busy enough to where I don't have the time or energy to meal prep or tidy my flat regularly. I've been working or sleeping. and yes I count admin tasks where I have to rearrange things from one job so I can do another as work. I count the logistics of getting all my equipment to a venue as part of that work.

and on top of that, most of these "if you have time for tumblr you have time for..." takes are hustle culture grindset nonsense.

when I have free time, real free time, I want to spent it on hobbies and projects I enjoy, or hanging out with friends. I'm not gonna start a side business or take classes for a marketable qualification that exists only to slap on my CV. I'm not gonna join a thousand clubs when the hobbies I have are doable on my schedule and can take substantial time investment anyway. I would learn a language a friend speaks or see what gigs are on (and enjoy being part of the audience and not on stage for once xD )

“If you have time to be on social media, you also have time for…” “If you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time for…” Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?
