Does it ever get better? Quit 8 months ago

I originally started to use snus when I was a student and I had some issues with starting to do tasks and focus. So I would pop one in, start doing stuff and focusing.
Eventually when tobaccoless snus was released I moved into them.

I quit in January.

My life has been quite bad after that. I am afraid that I will get fired anytime because I barely work.
Ever since I quit, all I do is pretty much stare at the screen. I have really tough time starting new tasks. Just like when I was a student. I am constantly tired, can't focus and it is nearly impossible to start tasks.

I do appriciate that my gums have healed, my blood pressure is back to normal, my heart does not do weird things etc, but the brain fog and ability to not to start anything is literally ruining my life.

Mitä nähtävää Imatralla ja Lappeenrannassa on?

Ajelen huomenna Imatralle/Lappeenrantaan.

Siellä on ainankin Karjalan Ilmailumuseo Lappeenrannassa. Lappeenrannassa on myös norppa veistos kävelykadulla, ja pari suihkulähdettä satamassa. Joku taidegalleriakin Lappeenrannassa on.

Imatralla on Imatrankoski. Vähän matkan päässä on Simo Häyhä museo.

Mitä muuta?

Is this helmet too big?

Sadly I live middle of nowhere and I have to order stuff online. I ordered Shoei NXR2(RF1400) and GT-Air 3 in size M based on the measurments.

NXR2 sizing felt correct, but it gave me pain behind left eye after and hour.

This helmet feels way more comfortable, too comfortable. My cheeks are not as much pressed between my teeth, but still are. I can fit finger nail length of my index finger between the helmet and my forehead. When I pull it down it does not go below my eye brows no matter how hard I pull.

What should I check before riding my used 2016?

I got used XSR700 2016 model.

The previous owner said that before selling he checked, brakes, brake fluid, oil, lubed the chain from what I remember.

I checked the rear brake fluid as it seemed to be completely empty, and it seems he has overfilled a bit with clear fluid, so I am thinking of checking everything over.

Is there anything else I should check?

Are there things that should be taken into account when buying 2016 (Europe) model?

Near me popped nearly perfect XSR700 for my use, it has Akrapovic high mount exhaust, it is not mentioned if it has been tuned after the installation, the bike has been dropped twice while parked and has one barely visible scratch on gas tank. I don't mind, it will be my first bike so I will probably drop it too. It has 32 000 km on it. The current owner has maintained it every year at authorized dealer(there is paper work for it) and is getting rid of it because he is going to get adventure bike.

High mount exhaust is bit annoying as I can't put 2 saddle bags, but I am also interested of making it more scrambler like so it works for that.

Is there anything I should take into account on first gen? I noticed in Australia at least there was a recall for some wiring not sure if that was done in Europe. This is 2016 model but it was taken in use 2018 so that might have been already been solved before it was sold.

I can't fly drones anymore because people keep reporting any drone sightings to the police

I have been building and flying drones about 15 years now. I first started with those huge DIY multicopters everyone built, and eventually as the tech and hobby evolved moved to the smaller FPV drones.

However, earlier this year, there were few drones that landed in my country which were not supposed to even fly here.

It has caused a huge panic.

Now everytime I fly, even if I report it to the nearest tower and follow all the rules, police show up to check what I am doing. Public is in so much panic about drones currently that they report everything. It is super annoying. I get it, they do not have the knowledge to know the difference between hobby drone and the other kind. It really makes this hobby not worth doing anymore.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? How have you dealt with it?

Edit: Just so there is no confusion, I live 1600km from that area we are not allowed to talk about.

I am looking for my first bike. I have previously only driven motocross on track like 20 years ago and taught kids and teens how to ride motorcycles, but never on traffic.

I am wondering, do I really need ADV style bike like Tenere 700, KLE500 or Royal Enfield Himalayan like the big boys here recommended for me. That style of bike does not really fancy me.

What I am really looking for is FUN bike to explore my home country Finland.

Roads here are mostly good asphalt roads, or shitty old roads with cracks and pumps. There is also 300 000km of gravel roads, it is usually packed gravel road with very little loose rocks. There is also forest roads, but they honestly rarely lead to anywhere interesting so going there would be just purely to ride on forest roads which kinda sounds interesting(and scary).

Realistically I would ride on weekends, 2 to 2.5 hours per direction AT MAX avoiding highways if time and direction permits. I should have local 30 min to 1.5 hour locations to explore for years which would be the biggest use case.

Once a summer we have 4 week holiday, which I could use to drive further. North Cape is 1440km from my town and I would like to make that trip at somepoint, but realistically going like 800km single direction I can reach pretty much every interesting location in my country expect the far north. Summer trip at west coast for example could look something like 1200km round trip.

If I am being completely honest, most roads that lead to anywhere interesting are either good or shitty asphalt road. However, as I am city kid I have never explored the rural roads, and I would like to cruise on the gravel roads to see whats out there.

I also would like to ride TET Finland, it has segments that can be pretty challenging even for ADV bike, but that is like a very minor thing down the road.

I am very much into the new retro look bikes. Triumph Scrambler 900, Royal Enfield Bear and more street oriented bikes like Moto Guzzi V7, Z650RS.

Moto Guzzi V7 really caught my interest, but sadly it is not currently imported to the Nordics. Z650RS was my original interest, but I am bit concerned it is too aggressive to just lazily cruise around exploring and its gravel capabilities worry me and range. I have also considered XRS700 for easy availability and reliability and slapping knobbly tires to it, but honestly that bike seems like a hooligan bike in its heart.

2006-2010 Triumph Scrambler 900s can be found for like 6000 to 9000 euro, everything else I have mentioned are so new that there is no second hand market for them and are all around 10 to 11k expect Himalayan which is like 8k.

Royal Enfield is currently one of my top choice as it is easily available to me and I plan to test drive Bear 650 and Himalayan 450.

Should I not worry about the gravel and just get what feels good, or should I try out scramblers and lightweight adventure bikes? What models are there I did not mention that could work?
