Not able to checkout, but my local library has a tiny maker space you can go in and use. It includes some crafting supplies, a sewing machine and a 3D printer. For using the 3D printer they have a stamp card you pay for at the start for hours of printing. It’s not expensive, it’s there mostly to help pay filament and prevent people from doing super long prints without thinking about it. For checking out they have movie and series DVDs and board games
My inlaws’ cat makes makes it as difficult as possible to pet her when she likes it a lot. Doesn’t sit still, if I pet her chin she twists her head away to show me the top of her head instead, keeps walking back and forth, and even lays belly up sometimes (and she does not like her belly touched at all).
I know she’s liking it because she purrs like crazy, does not move away, if I stop looks at me until I start again. If in her walking back and forth I don’t chase her and leave my hand out she moves into it for more pets.
I’ve developed some techniques to pet her two handed where she sits still for some reason. Like chin scritches with one hand coming from each side, she loves it.
I also don’t understand why Windows hides it now and you have to dig around to re enable it.
I’m really happy with the one from IKEA, the bigger rectangular one. I’ve had it over a year. Not the prettiest, but if you don’t dislike it it’s alright
I have hibernate enabled in windows, and have it set for when I click the power button on the case it hibernates instead of sleep or shutdown. Hibernation means it’s off, but it saves its state before it shuts down and restores it after turning on. Meaning I have the convenience of my startup programs being all booted up and open windows and programs are just as I left them. I shutdown the computer normally the last time I use it at night, so I have it freshly booted in the morning.
Personally I hate waste and walking away from a computer for more than a few minutes and leaving it on makes me uncomfortable. I know I’m weird and a bit on the extreme side, but it’s how I feel, and the hibernation option is a good option that keeps most of the convenience of leaving it on or suspended.
Shannon Makes fan?
In my head it does not exist. Never trust myself to remember anything, write everything down in a system you trust (TickTick for me). In the same vein when leaving tasks halfway I write myself what I had planned to do next and all the details I can quickly jot down, even if they seem obvious or like I won’t forget them.
To add to the splitting thing, it says very specifically in my elvanse panphlet that you shouldn’t split it. Even if it didn’t I would be very difficult to split such a tiny dose of powder accurately, and getting a consistent dose everyday is important.
I take the same dose as you, and like you I felt it was a bit much on the first few days. Your body takes some time getting used to them, after two weeks 30 didn’t feel like too much anymore. It feels just right, it raises my heartbeat a bit 2 hours after I take it, and a bit later it evens out.
I see so many jokes like this, but I’m the exact opposite. For semi formal things like contacting service providers, taxes, sales and the like I prefer to wait for 30 minutes on a phone call to writing a 5 minute email.
I get really paralized in writing something that doesn’t sound casual, so I prefer to have a phone call where it’s not expected that I’ll speak as formally as the email I’d have to send to get the same task done.
One important thing to note here is that in my native language casual and formal written language have a bigger difference compared to English.
I read the abstract and I can’t understand if medicated ADHD adults don’t show the increase the unmedicated ones did or if the medication did not make a difference (increase or decrease) compared with unmedicated adults.
So are medicated ADHDers statistically similar to unmedicated ADHDers or non ADHDers?
I use ticktick for medium and long term stuff like
I like its natural language input, it’s easy enough to just remember something and type it in and get back into what I was doing.
For short term stuff I use my smartwatch and voice assistents reminders. It leaves my wrist for charging and not much else. (I use Bixby because it integrates well with a Samsung phone, has persistent annoying reminders that don’t go away. Also Google can’t keep their shit straight and just keep a system for two years without killing it). Some examples of that I use my smartwatch for:
I keep a notebook at my desk for brain dumps and generally as a working memory replacement. I bullet journal on and off every few months, I like it when I’m using it, but as soon as something disrupts my routine it’s gone.
I had no idea! So you use the phone in tether mode and get it hooked up on a router ethernet port and it works like that? Did you have to change any settings on your router to make it work?
You don’t need an ethernet adapter to use your phone as a cabled hotspot for a computer. Just a regular usb cabe works just fine, I’ve done it before when our home internet was down.
Never just wait in the kitchen. When something is boiling/cooking/idle use that time to clean.
I’m going to preface this one by saying I have a messy kitchen most of the time. We just take plates there and leave them on the counter. feeding ourselves is hard enough without having to cleanup right after. Then there is some cooking task that requires a but of idle time, I use that time to clean while I wait. This has two advantages: it makes waiting easier (before I did this I regularly undercooked food), and it makes me not leave the kitchen while the stove is on. That is a big no no for me.
Modify instant meals
When feeding myself is hard, I like to modify instant/freezer meals. I always have shelf stable meals ready and a few plans to easily add to them. I find that most of them are a bit lacking in the protein department, so I have some easy ways to add some meat to them (canned sausages, tunna, cheese, peas).
Having a smartwatch with a voice assistant is a godsend
I bought a used galaxy watch 4 and I love it. I set timers and reminders on it all the time, the only time it’s not on my wrist is when it’s charging. I set timers for the oven, for the washing machine, and in general for something I need to get back to after some time. I set more descriptive reminders to a bunch of things. It finds my phone when I loose it, and it also helped me track my heart rate once I started medication
The idea itself is fine, but in practice it wouldn’t work. The kind of people you are trying to screen out in the process would just study do give the responses of a passing assessment, probably with the help of heavily paid mental health professionals.
Psicology is hard to test and prove, most of the things you are looking to test would not be visible in bloodwork or brainscans.
I didn’t actually mean the fist option, it was meant as a joke. I clarified it in another comment, maybe I should just edit the original one.
As far as I understood the problem here is OP’s boss, so I don’t think that would be a feasible solution in this situation
Just be be clear, I wasn’t advising OP to do the first idea. It was more of a joke. It has potential to be traced back and get him into trouble.
All my teeth falling off (I wore braces as a teen, I don’t know if it made a difference). Also since a cousin died in a car crash I dream about car accidents, always in the driver seat. In the first year after the accident I even woke up trying to press the breaks sometimes.
This depends on where you live in. AFAIK, in Europe dishwashers are not even hooked up to hot water, just cold. In America their standard plug electricity is weaker and therefore it’s not enough for a dishwasher to heat the water hot enough to sanaitze.
This is the reason electric kettles are not a big thing in America (they take significantly longer to heat the water) and “home electrification” is a bigger deal there.
And as always, to anyone interested, Technology Connections talks about this in his videos on dishwashers, induction stovetops and kettles.
