I didn’t feel a difference; I guess because it was my iron reserves that were low, not my actual iron levels.
But yeah, if it does continue to be a problem I will do something like that.

I hired 5 people to sit behind me and make me productive for a month
Sure, but my point was I don’t know what dose per unit time to take.
Whoops, I meant year. Edited.
A relevant experience of mine: after being vegan for ~1 year, I got my blood tested to see if there was anything I should watch out for. It turned out that my iron reserves were low, so I was told to take iron supplements. One year later I got another blood test where my iron levels came back as too high. My doctor was confused until I told him I still sporadically took iron supplements; he told me to stop immediately, and that as a male I didn’t need to supplement iron much.
Now I feel like I’m in a damned-if-I-do-damned-if-I-don’t limbo; it would be great to have some sort of framework of when/if to take iron supplements.
I think a wrench and 20 minutes of time is (1) a higher barrier than you think (not to say it justifies the lack of bidet) and (2) is an underestimate of how inconvenient installing it is. I installed a bidet a few years ago and it probably took 2+ hours and ended up leaking. When I moved, I opted not to install one again and instead follow #2 with a shower.
However, I agree bidets are great modulo the installation, and I will try to buy a toilet with one pre-installed.
I actually had that as an example in a draft, but my friends told me it didn’t quite fit the mold so I deleted it :)
Thanks! Here is the extension I made: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webblock/jeahkphmdfbddenabgndnooheiciocka
Admittedly, I copped out on the UX in a few places (motivation section, link parsing, etc...) but better to publish than wait for perfection!
Edit:
Right after I published my extension, I found these similar tools:

Aha upon further searching I came across this post: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/HaESgyu2BqDMTpujS/a-better-web-is-coming
It’s not the post I remember reading but it’s definitely about the same same topic so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You Don’t Have To Click The Links
I shouldn’t have used a company for my example because as you illustrated that’s not a very interesting case; if it wasn’t a company but the government (e.g. the TSA), does economic theory say those jobs will come back in a more efficient form?
To What Extent is Creating Jobs Good
Is it always better to remove/replace inefficient jobs? For example if a company employs 100 people to do manual data entry, would it be better for either the economy or the utility function to fire them and automate the jobs?

How did you meet your roommates? I would like to surround myself with similar people (perhaps less extreme).
This is awesome! I highly encourage you to write up your experience; I think this should be more normalized!
