Korea is split in 2 courtesy of the Soviet Union and China post-WWII.

And then there's the whole Cold War, Berlin Wall, gulags, etc.

Except it's not zero effort, zero cost.

But do we have evidence they're effective?

It still takes effort/time/money to do this, and if it has no impact, then that effort/time/money could be used on things that are known to be effective.

I have no idea how much effect they have. It's possible they have a negative effect.

Op's question is do we have that information?

Others have already recommended seeing a therapist.

In the mean time, I'd like to recommend a book - "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer. It's a layman's intro to CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), though he never says so. It's an easy read, very approachable. From the 70's, so you can get a copy pretty cheap these days.

It's not technical at all, reads more like a conversation.

Right on the money - that time will pass regardless, so may as well get on the schedule.

Yea, it's hard to do. I have some medical issues that work the same way (takes time to be seen, difficult to get motivated to call and schedule).

I have never once been told I wasn't hired, let alone told why.

I've been to probably a thousand interviews.

No one has time for that.

Imagine as a manager, you interview 100 people. Now you expect them to write a rejection letter, pass it through HR and the lawyers, for 99 people?

Imagine the time that would take, and what does the company get for that time? Nothing but risk.

"The wealth holding members of society"

Hahaha, every hiring manager I've worked for (you know, someone looking to fill a spot on our team) wasn't exactly what I'd call "a wealth holder".

They're middle-to-senior management, making anywhere from 100k to 300k, at most. Sometimes quite a bit less.

We're talking people who are a good 3 levels away from the C class. Meaning they'd be competing with everyone at their level, and above, to get to those higher seats in the pyramid.

Hiring managers are rarely farther up the food chain, unless they're hiring for those seats farther up the food chain - which isn't any of us here.

It's It like there's a team of managers who just do hiring/interviews. HR handles the initial stages, and the actual "hiring manager" is the person who's looking to add someone to their team, someone they'll be managing.

The same way you get over not knowing just about anything else.

Let it go.

Does it serve you in any way to continue to be bothered by not knowing?

You are irrelevant to them. Just like I'm irrelevant to you. That's life.

I haven't done the math, how much runtime could you get out of a single 18650? They're pretty stout, but it seems like they'd be a bit underpowered.

Milwaukee 12v batteries are 3 cells (I think they're a little smaller than 18650), and you can run through a battery pretty quick (I believe they're 1.5AH). Though I don't know how efficient their heating design is.

Sounds like marketing foo.

I have a 10+ year old Weller station with digital temp adjustment, and I don't recall it having a cpu and ram.
