Ugh. That sucks. I hope it passes soon.

Sorry you are going through that. FWIW, good advice I got for panic attacks was to remember two things: As much as this sucks, it won’t kill me. The panic is temporary, it will pass.
At least for me, it’s also helpful to check in to ask whether I am hungry or cold since those make it worse.

Vance says two sentences which together, sum up Trumpist vindictiveness perfectly:
“Sometimes mistakes happen — that’s just the nature of government, the nature of military service. But to have those 13 Americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful.”
Even though mistakes are inevitable we MUST PUNISH SOMEONE. Republican politics are rooted in grievance and in anger.

This, for me, is the entire secret. Once we understand we might have to learn and do differently because we are wired differently, it’s a whole new ballgame.

If you search on “hourly,” there are a bunch more animal accounts. Good luck!

While I initially bristled at that idea, it has a certain elegance about it.

Physical authentication tokens are only as good as the recovery mechanism when people lose one. Make the recovery too easy and attackers can bypass your spiffy token. Make the recovery too difficult and you can lock yourself out.
The sole context where I’ve seen physical authentication tokens work well is at companies with well staffed and highly responsive IT teams.
So before wiring anything up to that YubiKey, ask yourself what happens when you lose it.
