The official answer is that anything over 100ml can potentially contain an explosive, like it did when they initially banned it. It was going to be temporary measure but they never changed it, and I think they haven’t changed it since so the public doesn’t feel uneasy. And they do have exceptions in place; while you can’t bring through toothpaste or water, you can bring as much baby formula/breastmilk or insulin supplements as you want.

I don't know what it is with people and breathing techniques. They leave me so agitated. That speeds up my heart, not slow it.

Not the OP, but I’m an amateur astronomy nerd.
The gas giants have a solid core, like Earth’s core. But, there is no surface, nothing you could conceivably land on. They’re mostly gases, hence why they’re called gas giants, with extreme pressure, wind speeds, and temperatures. We’d be blown to bits if we tried to get too close, which is why exploring them deeply in a firsthand way is currently out of the question, or at least science fiction at this point. In this video, it shows you what it might be like if you went inside Jupiter (they have one for Saturn, too), but it could be speculative. What is more available to us are the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, which are super cool.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all like this. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the terrestrial planets. So is Pluto, our favorite dwarf planet.

I’m skeptical of free will, but first we must of course define free will. I’ve usually been of the opinion that rather than making conscious and independent decisions, most of the decisions that we make are due to the processes and formation of our brains. Such as, your ability at impulse control determined by the size of your amygdala.

Do you ever get clients who struggle with meditation? That seems to be the new thing of the 2010s/2020s and recommended at every corner, but I just can't do it. I have ADHD and it is down near impossible to get that kind of focus.
