I'd love it if you could expand on this to help me understand better..

I've had meditation suggested to me many times, and I just don't get it...

It leaves me wondering "What am I missing?"!

Thank you for de-threading this and making it readable... 🙏

Similar to many others on here, I'm terrible at time estimation, so I have to literally track backwards from the time I need to be there with things I need to do along the way, so:

Need to be there at 8am Driving takes 30mins (730) Shower 15mins (715) Tidy up and get my travel drink 20mins (0655) etc.

Then I also usually add 15mins to get lost or find parking. (0640)

Then I know what time to get up etc.

(Then I usually panic that I need more buffer and add another 30mins and get up at 0610!)

Oh.. And the calendar thing. If its not in the calendar, it doesn't happen...

Sure thing... It's not my playlist, I just found it on Spotify.

Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.

I have a Spotify playlist I found called "drum'n'bass no lyrics" that fits the bill.

Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics.. I've found that once I've listened to them a few times though I don't notice the lyrics anymore...

Best backpack I've ever owned for EDC and camera.

I've also added the mk1 camera cube for trips where I take a lot of camera gear.

Just be aware the company is REALLY slow to ship... Like, TRAGICALLY bad... I had to wait months each time I've bought stuff.. That being said though, I'd wait again... And I'm about to buy a new prima system as this one is getting old (after many years of EDC) and I'm looking at the XPAC version.

I've made a career out of my ADHD in a presales engineering role.. (And ending up in product management).

I did need to get the social aspects under control (mostly learning to slow down, and to learn when to shut up!), but this was all very manageable if you can take feedback and hyperfocus on putting it in action... 🤪

I liked that I got to work on the 20% of the customers problem that was the "rocket science" bit, and we would sell consulting services to do the bits that were more like "making license plates"...

Also, having a new audience every week meant I got to really practice and hone my presentation and soft skills which are super important.

I backpack it everywhere. I love boundary supply, but they're expensive and lord almighty are they slow to ship...

That being said, I EDC a Prima system as it also hadles my laptops and camera gear which travels with me frequently. I've just added one of their bottle carriers to the shoulder strap and I've got another one to install...

In addition to the backpack, I've moved to pants with plenty of pockets. I live in 5.11 cargos (pants or shorts) and even wear the 5.11 tactical jeans which have an extra pair of pockets (usually for ammo. I use them for wallet and phone...)

Someone made it and got it flying. Its available as a hobby rocket model kit:

My favourite was when my GP gave me a list of 10 docs to call to see who was taking referrals for adult diagnosis.

Yeah, that list sat unopenend (combination of overwhelmed and totally forgot) till 6 months later when I had to see the GP again, I panicked, and I called all 10 in the 30mins before my GP appt and then was late for the GP and almost missed my GP appt...

Fun times..

Or just wait for you to do it yourself....

This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.

If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.

I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad...

Because I have a firstname.lastname@popularcloudemail.domain type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.

I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!

BlazeCut Tseries 50cm is about right for a 3d printer enclosure volume.

Prusa sells a 30cm one as an option for their enclosure, but it is undersized for the enclosure volume, so I bought the 50cm one separately.

I was also diagnosed late in life (mid 40s).

For me it became a significant impact in two places in my life:

1. as my roles changed and I needed more ability to handle "blank page" type work assignments as I became more senior, rather than "survive this chaos" which I've always excelled at (given my ability to drop something, pick up something else, then revert later.) With previous "chaos surfing" roles, my now diagnosed ADHD was actually a secret super power (seriously, I managed turn ADHD into a career). As my roles became more "take this blank page, and figure out what to do, and make it into a project to make stuff better" I fell off a performance cliff.

2. as 1 happened, my ramp up of symptom management routines started to impact my family. (I didn't actually realise this until my partner filled in her part of my diagnosis questionnaire. )

My Doc basically told me I had been doing everything they want ADHD patients to do to manage the impacts of their symptoms, but my level of challenge had reached a point where medication could help me live at an effort level below the 99.99% constant I had all the time.

He was right and it did..

I'm a product manager and I want to punch this comic strip!!!

I live in a subtropical area.

Short answer: YES!!.

I now religiously use a filament dryer, VAC bags and loose silica beads that I bag my self into DIY teabags and then redry in the oven.

I also make sure to dry new filament for 24hours before using it the first time...

Since I started doing this for PLA and PETG, many of my previous my print issues dissapeared...

Sometimes the best thing to do is just get out of their way...

Well. In a one on one call with him once (he's my local member) I asked him why we could not protect individual rights with a charter of human rights.

I would describe the tone of his response as visceral.. He said to me:

"[I don't trust the courts in interpreting legislation like that. I would not want to give them an inch. Just look what they've done down in Victoria.]{paraphrased}

[As far as I'm concerned, the parliament is perfectly placed to decide what is, and is not a human right, and if you disagree with me, you can vote me out... ]{direct quote}"

I assume the VIC reference was to the judges that had been appointed most recently with track records of upholding human rights...

No confirmation bias in her assessment.... Noooooooo.....

Its real. (Paywalled)

Is this real or fabricated?

This video helped me more than I could have ever imagined with what you described. It helps me understand waaaaay better what's going on in my brain.

I bet the Matt Damon one is a doozy. The list of places that guy has been rescued from all throughout history....(and even into the future!)

Depends on the price. I was able to return a 13 month old iPhone when apple announced the CSAM scanning (that they eventually abandoned) - I got a full refund. The phone costs enough that ACL considers it should operate for at least 2 years.

At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.

Oh… Look at all those poor people in the grey countries that have “no data” left on their cell service… /s

So THAT'S why they called that the "Taco Bell Comet"...

Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house....

Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!

Test your hearing range with this if you want...

https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz....

What is the app?
