      Same shit why ADHD wasn’t as prevalent back then because everyone smokes and nicotine is a good stimulant for ADHD.

          I’d say it’s about 10% as effective as a cup of coffee for my ADHD symptoms, and coffee is about 25% as the low dose concerta I take…if I drink one coffee per hour for the entire work day.

          Math says: don’t do it.

          I quit smoking cigs a decade ago and would never consider using them for ADHD over coffee…and I only use coffee if I’m out of concerta

          This is a wise choice and I respect that you know yourself well enough to know this.

          If it helps, I’ve heard many ADHD people report that nicotine is minimally helpful compared to actual ADHD medication. All medications come with harms and risks, but self-medicating with nicotine is a pretty poor return on the harms “investment”.

          As someone with ADHD who quit nicotine a few years ago, don’t do it. The stimulant effect is milder than a cup of coffee but it doesn’t last as long and is incredibly addictive. If your brain needs stimulants, just get a prescription for Adderall, all other legal stimulants will pale in comparison

      I’d wager that some examples of autism back in the day resulted in things like obsessing over the math about change resulting in calculus, or about what happens to things moving at close to the speed of light, resulting in special relativity (and that obsession continued until it was generalized). Or a guy that loved to paint but also invent things that couldn’t be made with the tech at the time. Or realize that everything in the solar system is moving the same way and there is no special retrograde movement, it just looks like that because we’re moving at a different rate.

      I’d wager there’s at least a bit of autism involved in most cases where someone realized that conventional wisdom was wrong, with possible exceptions for times when something new gave access to new obvious evidence, like the microscope letting microbes be seen directly.

        Autistic people can be intelligent, but all intelligence isn’t down to autism.

        It’s more accurate to say people with Asperges can display characteristics like Einstein than claim he had Aspergers.

        Leonardo da Vinci seems to have been quiet sociable. No particular spectrum behavior.

        Newton. Well…

        edit: this is about the US, right?

          I don’t really follow the US news that much, but I have been watching some legal eagle videos from time to time. It’s been pretty wild. Seems to me that laws don’t really matter any more.

          Well, recently I also saw a news headlines about federal courts ruling that certain executive orders were illegal etc. I guess you may still have some hope.

        Maybe that’s the root cause of our current situation: we are all 11 years old

      I think he’s playing on the saying “act your age, not your shoe size,” hinting that he knows it’s a silly/childish thing to do, but excusing it because his feet are enormous.

      For a better ageing experience, you should start to regularly work out before you get older than your shoe size.

      Funny, I was thinking this person is actually slightly too interesting for this community. I may need to see a doctor.

    My toolkit only has a T25. Fortunately, from experience you can turn a T30 with a T25, if you’re careful.
