The isue is I’m not that good at spelling so I don’t know when to trust me or the keyboard. It’s too tedious.

…Me avoiding responsibilities…

Also very precise temperature control. The sage one can do sous vide as well and it’s also needed for yoghurt.

As soon as my autocorrect is contaminated with spelling errors I’m doomed. For some reason when spelling a word wrong just twice or thrice it’s automatically added to the dictionary which is so stupid. So in reality it’s not me spelling it wrong because I’m ignorant, it’s because autocorrect does not actually correct me when I need it and it’s teaching me back my own mistakes. I have the same issue with the word “very” that I spell “verry” because it got into the dictionary once and I never knew it was wrong until much later and I had alread learned the muscle memory. Who was supposed to teach me anyway at this point. I’m far past school.

I can recommend the Sage/breville “fast and slow go 6L” cooker if you cannot or don’t want to get the instant pot. I have had mine for 2 years now and its solid build and i have used it a lot. Makes excellent youghurt and risotto among others.

Normaly i cannot read a wall of text like that without my eyes and brain jumping around the text. For some reason reading this text is perfectly fine because its exactly what my brain is already doing so it just feels natural and relaxing to read.

It’s good to hear you get help. This story just speaks volumes to how important it is to get help as early as possible and to learn to drop the mask and let go when you need to. Wish you the best.

Definitely try again. I had a stupid doctor as well and it took me way too long to change it and get proper help. I was so depressed and really bad when I finally got my shit together over 2 years later. I begged for help and told my girlfriend to please not let me slide out of this.

Let me be your push to try again, because everyone deserves help and to be taken seriously. You NEED to go again and insist. Don’t budge. Be the “worst side of yourself” and by that I mean don’t try to hide anything. There’s no reason to try and appear strong and “well functioning” towards your doctor like you are probably used to doing for everyone else. Tell your doctor about every small little detail of your life that is inhibing you, and tell about all the stupid small stuff you do that you probably barely even notice yourself, like constant fidgeting or thought processes flying crazy for no reason or whatever it might be in your case.

Let the hyperfocus consume you towards getting help😄 and I mean that in the best way possible.

I’ve been there myself and in hindsight I wish someone would have pushed me harder to go get help and insisted I should not give up…

Sounds like it could be too high a dose if you get jittery, been there at 30-40mg but 20mg + 10mg both extended release later in the day works really well for me.

Remember that the way Ritalin (methylphenidate) works is not by boosting dopamin but rather slow down dopamin uptake. You still need to create the first “spark of dopamin” yourself that then slowly snowballs itself stronger. I’d say you need to take it at least a few days to weeks to see an effect and learn how it affects you. Start at just 10 to 20mg. Otherwise try another variation of methylphenidate like concerta or medikinet.

Have you talked with a psychiatrist and gotten a diagnosis yet? That’s a good step to take towards helping yourself, but start with your own doctor of you haven’t already, and get a referral (or however it works in your country). If you have ADHD it’s often that the brain is underestimated hence stimulants work wonders for ADHD to get the brain knocked back on track. You’d probably need to try a variety of stimulants to find what works for you even within the same family of stimulants like release times and brands, small variations can make you react differently.

I wish you the best and hope you’ll find something that works. This forum is a great source of help and motivation.

Stimulants… Or lots of coffee… I mean loooots of coffee

Debian. Since so many distros are based of it I always thought of it to be a stripped down, minimal and basic distro, but after daily driving for a year now in suprised how feature complete and pleasent it is out of the box with kde DE.

What’s the function of the baking soda? Disinfectant?

What’s on my USB stick you ask… A bunch of random shit I haven’t touched for 8 years so I have no idea what it is and it’s probably outdated, but I’d be damned if that usb stick is not In my keychain because “I might need it one day”

If only I knew that this is not normal 20 years ago I would have been a different place today. So many internal conflicting voices/thoughts and it’s fucking constant.

Here’s an idea. Use a mikrotik router board. They are super cheap and support VPN natively. I use wireguard but it should also support openVPN as well. Maybe more I’m not sure. The small hap series are super cheap and works great.

As a Dane I can approve. Looks great.

Mikrotik all the way. But prepare yourself for a nice steep learning curve, but now that om past that i sware by it. Super fast and infinity configurable. The entire router configuration can be exported as a txt file and imported in seconds so if it breaks just get a new one and load up your config and you are good to go. Also the forums are a gold mine of information. What i love the most is just how fast it is. Setting take effect instantly. Also means it is extremely fast to lock yourself out of not careful. Again, steep learning curve but really good after that.

Product idea: “water cooled micro SD card reader”

I hate this law because its so damn loud. Its so often i find EV’s louder then ICE cars in parking lots and its usually and obnoxious chime sound that travels much further than the little rubble coming from an engine. I wish they’d change this law to something more restrictive so the sounds are not as loud and also less obnoxious so it cannot be heard from more than 30f away. I suggest simple white noise at som low 40 dB or something like that.
