After Vladimir Putin, Orban is at least the second world leader I've heard say this, the sentiment being that it's so much easier to negotiate with a fellow world leader, when that leader is putting their own country first: "America First, Hungary First". Makes sense to me.

Speaking of putting America last, I haven't wanted a piece of legislation to die this bad since Obozocare-- in fact, this one is worse for me personally: if passed, it will completely, absolutely, and permanently ruin cars and driving, both things very dear to me. This would happen at the Federal level, meaning there would be no escaping it.

I've been trying really hard to improve my sleep. I haven't slept well most of the past decade due to an anxiety disorder and a continuous state of derealization, but over the past ten days I've only gotten zero-to-three hours of sleep per night. Last night I tried a new technique to calm my mind, and slept from 21:00 to 3:00: I'm still tired, but six hours with decent REM is at least approaching acceptable limits.

I'm so impressed with the Series X that I finally decided to just clobber Winbloze from my PC altogether, and have gone back to Manjaro full-time: feels good to be "back home", so-to-speak. While it's true that these RDNA2 APUs aren't quite at the level of Nvidia's Turing, and nowhere near approaching Ampere, they produce stable 60 fps gameplay at reconstructed 4K-- and the ray tracing is actually much better than I thought it'd be. The Series X is "good enough" for me to not need Winbloze anymore.
