I came across a word today that I cannot recall coming across before although I gather it was coined in 1947.
To satisfice
verb, FORMAL, 3rd person present: satisfices
"to accept an available option as satisfactory."
"Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met." ~ wiki
Do you have any examples of your own satisficing?

@fmf saidI sometimes feel I’m back in 1962; the days of condensed milk and the weekly teaspoon of cod liver oil and bread sprinkled in salt. Having given up alcohol, ultra processed and sugary foods. I make do a whole bar of high cocoa content chocolate once a month.

It can feel like being in prison.

@fmf saidAs I get older I can't be bothered to do the research required to buy and sell individual shares. I tend to just buy a tracker fund that tracks the whole market. Most funds tend to underperform trackers anyway.

@the-gravedigger saidOf course two people can die at the same age, but the healthy one lives better, while the unhealthy one is in and out of doctors offices, taking lots of pills, operations, and basically bed ridden for years before final death.

@rajk999 saidHere is the thing to give some thought. Does it really matter that one lived healthy where the other didn't they both died........
