You fix it by realizing you hurt people for no reason, and you mature to the level where you can watch your ex be happy because she's with a better man.
If it makes you feel any better, she has almost certainly found a better quality partner by now, or would be able to without much trouble when she wants, so her happiness of not being with you is virtually guaranteed.

I think that's a good observation. Telling people you plan on doing something remarkable usually gets a bit of praise. Maybe getting a bit of your positive emotions in advance makes you less likely to hold out for the whole thing.

Never tell anyone your goals. I don't know why it works, but it does.
Show up at work on Monday having run a marathon the day before. Don't let people even know that you run or started running. Once you make yourself the only audience that matters you have everything you need

I can't believe it took until 2023 to expand the bike paths from "whites only" to all other races.

If it drains it will melt faster. The meltwater forms a layer of cooler liquid around the ice that partially insulates it and slows melting.
I know this because I recently watched this very experiment being conducted (as part of a series of experiments that has non-intuitive outcomes). I'll try to find the link for the video.

That's not what I'm fixated on. I'm fixated on whether or not his lawyers ever told him "don't talk to ANYONE without our presence" BEFORE he signed a release to participate in the interview. Lawyers told him what to (never) do, and then after he decided to do that.

That's the only part that confuses me. What I know from the article is that;
- the lawyers sent a notice to the prison for their client to not participate
- the client participated, and even signed a release to do so
- the lawyers never provided legal advice to the client about doing it not doing the interview
I don't get how the lawyers involved could take action against participation (by notifying the prison), but then never discuss this with their client?

Exactly, I'm just raising it because your points about the witch trials seemed to imply that he wasn't a convicted murderer. In this specific case his only options were to die in prison, the only thing for debate was how long he had to wait

Just to be clear, the guy was found guilty without this tape (meaning they had evidence beyond reasonable doubt).
The tape was used during sentencing to determine what penalty he should get. The fact that he's a murderer is not in question.

If his lawyers object (send the notice) but then he decides to do it anyway, isn't that just him not following legal advice?

The inmates lawyers also specifically sent a letter to the prison that he would not be participating.

He added a zero to the price, and dropped one off the incubation period.

Based on the prices you quoted, this is a made up story.
A little more research next time and you might pull off a convincing story.

It would start an arms race of sorts. You jail a spy, they jail yours. They kill a spy, we kill yours.
Things can get out of hand, and honestly removing them usually completely destroys whatever they were doing, same as jailing them.
