This is spot on. A family member of mine is a high school teacher and faces everything you laid out. I'd add the seemingly constant threats of lawsuits and violence to further illustrate the untenable atmosphere.

Certainly! Just do something. Consistency matters. The nature of activity you choose is insignificant when you consider doing something, vs. doing nothing.
This was key for me. I spent way too much time working way too hard, like 9 out of 10 exertion. I dreaded just getting started. I've now found that I can make better gains working in the 5 to 7 range, and I look forward to my workouts.
Exercise. Exactly how is not important. What matters is just being consistent. Eventually it becomes a habit that will grow with you.
If it's difficult or frustrating, you're probably trying too hard. Ease up next time. If it feels like a chore, you're not doing the right activity for you. It should be enjoyable.
Not necessarily. It varies by manufacturer, and some manufacturers use both methods for the various HD's they make. Both work just fine, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Former industry guy here.
Some HD's park the head on a plastic ramp at the OD of the platter stack. I don't see that structure in your picture.
Others park the head on the platter itself. This area is always not usable area, since contact isn't great for data integrity. This is a simpler solution but comes at the cost of reduced data capacity.
I don't recall if this park area is on the ID or OD (it's been a long time), but the position in your picture is reasonable since it would cost less disk area..
Dude... Well done! This thing is amazing. I've been wanting to get some effects pedals but can't deal with the clutter. This is just what I need. Now to study your repo and see if I can get one together.
I'd argue this is their best album. Full of bangers! 🤘
Hmmm, I don't even see that one in the app store. Maybe a regional issue? The one I use has 20k reviews and 500k downloads.
The one by Mobifolio? It just updated today, so it doesn't seem abandoned. I can't speak to the trackers but most apps do that anyway.
Off topic but I'm using the app tracking protection from duck duck go. Maybe give it a try?
I used Car Maintenance Minder way, way back. It was perfect for me but it was also eventually abandoned.
Have a look at Simply Auto. I use it now. While it's not as good as Car Maintenance Minder, I think it does what you're looking for. I'm not sure about the multi device function though.
Funny - my guess is they don't have easy access to 1/4" stock, so they just machined the thickness down from whatever metric stock is common in China.
