I usually do two clicks shy of max warm. Wife prefers it cooler though. Will have to compromise.

I might wash my car myself this weekend.
Life is a bit busy right now with work and family, so I rarely find it convenient to devote more than a single sense to media. If my eyes are busy (driving, running, flossing...), I will listen to documentaries and science shows without video. If my ears are busy (working), I will put videos on my second monitor and mute them.

I will probably just keep working and saving to maximize the chances that my kid never has to answer to a boss for shelter, food, and health.
But after achieving FI, work should take on a new feel since my family and I won't depend on it to survive.
I can see where you're coming from. Those year-end distributions don't give you much time before the 12/31 conversion deadline.
Vanguard shows YTD realized gains/losses and dividends. They also publish a report estimating percentage of qualified dividends near the end of each year. Not sure what else you would need.
I tried this a few weeks ago and it was pretty easy. A few clicks and the conversion was in progress.
Depends on the school.
