If it's tiltable I'd tilt it a bit or give it a light shake when you finish your shower and see if it occurs; descaling as mentioned by vord probably wouldn't hurt but you'd probably see if it was necessary on the head. If it has a hand shower, body jets, or other diverter valve you can try shifting that position and see if it releases.
4 depends on the exact setup, I've had a Kohler that hangs up on its chain sometimes and some carefully placed zip ties fixed it. If you have hard water buildup then some careful cleaning is probably enough. Unless it's an exotic/expensive toilet the entire assembly is a YT video or two, a bucket, some towels, and under 50 bucks to rebuild. And don't start a plumbing project at 5pm on a Friday, that's just tempting fate ;) . I even rebuilt a valve with a $3 replacement membrane at an Airbnb that the local middle-of-nowhere hardware store happened to have so sometimes it can be even cheaper!

Comment on Any recommendations on places to visit in Singapore? There for a week. in ~travel

If you like ramen Hakata Ikkousha is great (a chain but the thinness of the chashu is great at Apt/Blk 7, Tanjong Pagar Plz, #01-104B, Singapore 081007) and there's a place called Four Seasons ramen, it's not at the Four Seasons but can be fun if you're in the area (158 Rochor Rd, Singapore 188433).
If you want dim sum, Red Star restaurant is at the top of a building and provides the most full contact du sum experience I've had. I haven't had the chance to go since COVID but it was good food and overall experience.
Second on the chili crab, I've had it at a place near the Merlion that was good and JUMBO (at least East Coast) is decent and right on the water.
There's also the southern islands, check out descriptions online for which sounds best for you and remember to bring lots of water, snacks, and an alarm so you don't miss your ferry back! Kusu may be the most approachable as it's small, I believe the tortoises are still open, and is a little bit rarer for the average tourist to end up at.
Enjoy your time there, it's an absolutely great place to visit; if you like bridges and architecture there's the DNA pedestrian bridge next to the Sands, the Louis Vuitton design center, Raffles Hotel, and National Gallery; more modern stuff is often office and condos so not as easy to visit but the Interlace and Parkroyal Collection (dripping in plants) are fun to see.

A refrigerator is going to be the driest part of many homes and unless the bread is stored well sealed will reduce moisture in the bread. If it is well sealed you may still find moisture escaping via condensation into the bag/bin but that will depend on how the bread is removed and used each time.
On frozen bread a single freeze/thaw cycle makes little difference to me but wetter, denser breads or repeated freeze/thaw cycles are noticeable to me when the bread is used at room temperature. If toasting or using in something else (soup, French toast, etc) I can't tell.

One thing that struck me was the markdown blog concept (which I love) but that it still steered towards (needs supabase?) a 3rd party service to render even when run locally.
The original Celeste (whose anniversary game recently made the rounds here) was written on PICO-8.
I think you have an automistake of 'relieve' instead of 'relive'.
Programming in Excel (even without VBA) is many corporate workers molding of their computer to their needs.
Microsoft's Power platform does allow for low- to no-code automation but not generally local.
Is the Gnorp Apologue seem like something that might work? It's more on the clicker side which might not have enough skill but if I were to try what you describe I'd need something of that level.
