Maybe if we eat enough chocolate, we’ll be smart enough to figure it out.

I set up RSS a few months ago and do enjoy it.

I’ve never considered myself claustrophobic, but the mockups of Hyperloop I’ve seen freak me out a little.

You have had an interesting life.

I’m a fan of high speed rail too, but I also wonder if it’s ever going to be comparable to flying for long distances like this.

Like, even traveling in a direct line on a plane (which averages 600mph, or 2-3x the average speed of high speed rail), it still takes 6 hours from NYC to LA.

The treatment would look different if it’s determined to be something else, for example: ADHD symptoms look very similar to what happens if you chronically get bad sleep, or if you’re too sedentary and your endurance is low, or if you are depressed/anxious and that is causing you to feel unmotivated or inattentive from the mental load, etc. But otherwise, if you are having “ADHD-like” symptoms, the same coping skills will likely help independently of the label.

I always encourage people to not put too much weight on a diagnosis to explain themselves, but rather as a more functional, strategic tool. As in, this isn’t a conclusive label that forever describes me, but rather the current strategy/approach that’s being used (sometimes for insurance or access purposes).

Totally understandable. I took literal years to finally get a backup set up so that I could do this.

Sorry, I was being a bit hyperbolic, but this is my field of work and I have an ADHD Dx myself. The diagnostic criteria is such that the majority of adults who present to a clinician with complaints of inattention that is negatively impacting their life will receive the diagnosis these days (either from their GP, therapist, or psychiatrist).

My soapbox opinion is that the diagnosis, like many others, is more useful as a stepping stone to accessing treatment than it is as a conclusive source of truth about the person with the Dx in their chart. Being symptom-focused rather than worrying about having the label or not is more productive in my opinion.

There’s no point in getting the diagnosis unless it is a barrier to receiving treatment that you want. Pretty much anyone who seeks out the diagnosis gets it.

Your method is better, imo.

Linux: the official OS of vagabonds

Would you describe your laptop as “hot-n-ready”?

You might want to invest in some spacers to prevent your monitor from breaking when you close the box.

I did and am much happier. When I went to install Linux, it was a last minute decision to try to dual boot, and that was the day that the Win11 pop-up showed up saying that I couldn’t, so I thought “that makes my decision easy” and wiped the whole thing.

Saving this, thank you.

I’ve heard that these are nice. Noctua fans will have to go in my next build.

Lol no, I’ve just been pretty active on here since that big reddit exodus in 2023.
