Scary wall of text, in the spoiler you go.Issues

So far i only faced this threat twice (in high school), but managed to avoid it.

  • First, I was selected for Erasmus+ international exchange program. But I couldn't get the answer on how many people per room there would be nor whether there would be shared showers and toilets (like one large per building bathroom).
    The school's psychologist then called me into her office to ask whether I would be capable of socializing with others, and to re-think it, as our group would have to do everything together in representative manner, so I just noped out.
  • Secondly, we went to some national competition, and were destined to stay at dormitory for 1 night. When I found that out, I said I rather won't go. When I answered why, I was told that they would arrange for me to have a single room, so that was fine. I just stayed inside there all the time, enjoying my solitude.

At home I live with parents. I don't have my own room, but subsidize for it with WC (separate from bathroom). Since there's no power outlets, I'll take 2 power banks, laptop, USB fan, phone, earphones, and stay there for most of the day.
Unfortunately, I may not find any such alone space over there.

Eating near others is also not quite easy. Usually I'd just wait for the lunchroom to empty, and then go there. Empty table near wall, with adjacent empty tables (excl. diagonally behind). Sometimes this would mean I wouldn't get to eat, or be late for class, but that wasn't a problem for me.
At home I just wait until my parents finish.
I can't stand seeing others, being seen, and hearing others' chewing if I am to eat.

Stuff to bring

I kinda like to be always ready. My biggest concern is electronics. What all do I bring? Should I take the mini PC with me, or leave it at home with WWAN modem, and use it over Tailscale?
Should I bring RTL-SDR with me, or leave it at home with the remote mini PC and only take RSP1 clone with me?
Which WiFi router to bring? Reliable one, or the one with Wireguard that restarts every 15 minutes and bootloops eventually?
Do I take both laptops for redundancy, or just the usual ThinkPad?
If bringing my CD player, do I use disposable batteries, or also take the AA charger with me?
Do I take my DAB+ radio?
Do I bring the spool of wire that's been useful for shortwave listening?
What about a printer? I'd only trust dot-matrix for moving around, but they're expensive AF.

Hell, when I went to that competition, I even took Cisco 871W (SoHo-style) and Cisco 1802 (1RU) routers, although that was mostly as a joke (I did play around with them though).

Boston-based World Energy was one of the first companies in the world to produce commercial quantities of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a type of renewable fuel made from sources such as used cooking oil, agricultural residues and other waste.

Its Paramount refinery near downtown Los Angeles had been a rare success story, supplying millions of gallons of SAF a year to airlines such as United Airlines and fellow U.S. carrier JetBlue Airways. The plant, which began operations in 2016, was central to the carriers’ pledges to help the airline industry switch to a blend of 10% SAF by the end of this decade.

But the refinery quietly ceased operations in April. And World Energy’s plans for a second plant in Houston have stalled amid a lack of commitment from the industry, according to Chief Executive Gene Gebolys.

World Energy’s struggles mirror the plight of dozens of clean fuel startups, according to a Reuters review of the sector. Nearly 20 years after the first commercial flight powered partly by biofuels made the short hop from London to Amsterdam, Reuters found that the airline industry’s plans to go green before regulators start penalising them are little more than a pipe dream.

I don't mean to suggest holding meetings about it until the enemy kicks your door in, but there's a specific set of optics he's looking for. We did this right in LA. The troops sat there feeling stupid until he gave up. I think that right now, he's looking for a city that will give Fox News the footage they need to justify escalation. Please, if at all possible, don't give it to them. Stay organized, don't panic, and make them look and feel stupid. He's an attention whore, and I think the right move right now is to starve him.
