Ditto!

ADHD is different for everyone so results will vary from person to person.

For me, it was a couple days before I had enough of a “base”

I didn’t know how much of an effect it was having on me until I stopped for a couple weeks. It was more my wife that noticed…

I have noticed that my hyper fixation on ruminating has disappeared almost entirely and my sleep is better.

I’m not better at staying on task necessarily, but I’m better at getting back on task, starting tasks, prioritizing tasks, etc.

Step 1: butter the toast or English muffin Step 2: apply peanut butter Step 3: bliss. Stop yourself from eating the whole loaf

This just happened to me today. I was talking with a colleague and recalled that they had just gone on a short trip with their partner. First time away from the kids.

I asked how it was, I was a couple weeks overdue but they excitedly told me about it. It felt good to ask, did it change my day? Not really that much.

But this person was excited to share (a few weeks ago) their excitement and anticipation with me. So when I asked how it went, they got a chance to relive it and share with me the results.

All in all, they cared enough to share, I cared enough to ask and at the end of it, I felt good. I got to share in their excitement and make a person feel heard and valued AND they got to relive the excitement again.

Yes!

Holy cow haha. I “bought” so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)

Memory unlocked.

I definitely know what you’re talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn’t, you could request it and they’d find it.

I miss that site now

Same here!

Although I do love “Blame Brett”

They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately

This is the craziest thing to me…

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.

Inside the house, I’m bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it’s nice, I go out barefoot. If it’s snowy or frigid cold (I’ll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.

I don’t know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It’s a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

Harry Potter The Martian The Cosmere (all for Sanderson’s cosmere I’ve done a few times) The First Law Trilogy

One I will reread but just haven’t yet: Uprooted Codex Alera Legends and Lattes

• Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
• The Daily Show

I usually watch monologue / opening segments and pass out during the boring guest interviews.

TLA is “The Last Airbender” for me

Lego Harry Potter on Switch is what my wife and I did and she liked it. She is not a gamer.

Weirdly enough she also liked Mario Golf on switch.

Read 36 books and counting

What’s the most modern you could emulate on an android phone (s23)?

And is retroarch the best bet?

I’ve been entertaining the idea of buying a cheap laptop to play with Linux after yesterday’s posts and the idea of being able to emulate some more modern stuff and maybe install steam is appealing.

You’d be surprised how much stuff you can miss in books and still be clipping along ;)

But in all seriousness, I have ADHD and sometimes my mind wanders and I have to rewind but it’s not often… anymore.

I found audiobooks to be a learned habit. I started with books I knew well already (hello Harry Potter) or books I watched the movies for (Lord of the Rings). It helped if I tuned out because I wasn’t going to to miss anything I didn’t already know.

A couple of pluses on audiobooks is that you can increase or decrease the reading speed depending on your comfortability (I usually sit between 1.4x - 1.6x, YMMV and it depends on the pacing of the recorded person). Also, you experience the authors work entirely without skipping things (which we often do as readers)

Apple exec doesn’t actually understand how computers work and think that that actually might be a reasonable arguement

I think a lot of Apple users fit this bill too so it doesn’t matte much if this is the messaging, a fair amount of people will believe it.

Seconded!

What do you mean by sandboxed?
