Vasectomy.
I'm waiting on a larger study to confirm or dispel the results of that small study that showed significant risk of aphasia and FTD associated with vasectomy.
Aphasia?

A quick google turns up this study:

Re: Burnout can exacerbate work stress, further promoting a vicious circle
#163Clicked for me recently that working hard is like driving in first gear. Necessary initially, but if you don't shift up into higher gears, you're probably not doing it right, and not getting as far as fast as you probably should. If I'm tired, it's necessarily because I'm mismanaging my work and time, and that's a signal it's time to step back and figure out what's wrong. Some people are really good at that initial t…
But everyone has to wash dishes anyways. Now we have machines for that.
I want to use that analogy of endless busy work to break away from your analogy in saying that:
Maybe there is a breakaway in replacing parts bit by bit to build the fast car you want that can shift into the gears you need at the moment.
IDK, sometimes you're just going to be washing a lot of dishes.

Insomnia is pretty high on the list of pandemic lockdown issues at the moment, not to mention burnout symptoms. Some people I know can sleep sitting on a plane, and others can scarcely sleep at night, horizontal, in a quiet room, on a soft bed.
A hard workout, waking up early and avoiding caffeine help me a lot with insomnia.
A "hard" workout. A hard workout can send cortisol through the roof and there will be little sleep.

The half-life of cortisol is very short (comparable to that of cocaine):
"The plasma clearance of cortisol is rapid, with a half-life of 66 min at normal hormone levels. With large steroid loads, however, the half-life increases to 120 min."
If you work out in the morning or afternoon, avoid working ~3-4 hours before bed, you should be able to sleep just fine.

#168I wanted a no-pay sabbatical for a few months but unfortunately my company had no policy for one. After 4.5 years, my well had run dry.
I really struggled to get help and was left with no option but to quit.

One of my first jobs was in retail, a backpacking outfitter located at the top of a scenic and winding road that's very popular among fast car folks. Summer weekends when the weather was good, we'd sell huge amounts of soda and trinkets from a gift shop in the front of the store. One day, a guy come in and ask for a jug of water for his car, which had overheated. It turned out to be a yellow Ferrari, I got him some w…
Although I don't doubt someone might not understand how to shift gears, you may be overestimating the reliability of exotic cars!

dish-washing is a cost-center, not a profit-center, so really the solution is to cut costs by washing dishes as little as possible :)

So if for some reason, you guys decide to block my account, I'm stuck with dirty dishes? And then I won't even be able to share with my friend who has working dishwasher? Ouch, that is hard!
