An occupational term of art?

Perseveration
Perseveration, in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and speech–language pathology, is the repetition of a particular response regardless of the absence or cessation of a stimulus. It is usually caused by a brain injury or other organic disorder. Wikipedia

Been there / done that. I've even successfully paid off the loans afterwards. I know exactly how it works.


Someone has to tell you that taking more money than you need in loans, not even keeping track of how much you have borrowed, and then spending that money for day to day living expenses is a bad idea that will haunt you AND YOUR FAMILY for years or decades to come.

shakespeare.mit.edu › hamlet › hamlet.1.3.html
SCENE III. A room in Polonius' house. - Massachusetts Institute of ...
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
Borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry, hoard silver, gold or Bitcoin instead.

Technically, a trailer is hitch-mounted.

I would think that leaving a mostly solid mass in the black tank would make dumping worse. No mention of odor controls on the remains which is one of the joys during dumping. Pretty sure this predates the power flush tank systems.

I figure it didn't catch on because it wasn't all that wonderful a solution for an extra day or so capacity.

Part #? The Cyberdrop trailer

I don't know what I have or haven't covered. I have opened collages of different types of trailers, but this one has been bothering me.

I saw mentions of it, but needed to look it up.

As you can tell from the picture, they couldn't decide whether to make this aerodynamic or practical, so they settled on neither.

There was great speculation on the Cybertruck's aerodynamics, with most expecting it to be terrible, but a few say "No no no, Elon knows what he is doing. You will be surprised."

Is it the least aerodynamic commercially-available EV?

You can also tell this is a bike trailer, but I read about people making them for cars, I just am not diving into that rabbit hole, I am trying to contain my mania.

Must control mania.

Are aerodynamics unimportant in cycling because you move relatively slowly or are they critical?

I don't know.

Room for improvement.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get ready for a class with a professor who almost failed me last quarter. I realized I needed help, reached out, she wrote a long sentence, I followed up, she wrote three paragraphs, I wrote a third time, and she wrote five paragraphs stating that if and when I passed the final, she would ensure that I passed the class.

Why didn't she write that in the first place and saved both of us time and aggravation?

I missed the first class this quarter because school kept saying they would give out free flu vaccines on-campus, but they hadn't decided when.

When they decided when, it was on a day that I have clinicals, so I tried to go through the VA, but they close at 4, so I called 10 places the VA claim give Veterans free vaccines, and all of them said the VA was denying them, so I paid $20 at Costco, and the next day was told I would be allowed to attend virtual classes again.

Thank you so much!
