Thanks. Autism is the best fit I can find to date. I have not seen any doctor for approx. ten years. Last time I went to a doctor it was a psychiatrist that gave me an ADHD diagnosis, but I am not great at following up on things.

It was suggested to me a few years since then, also a few years ago (by a layperson) that I should look into Autism. I dismissed it at the time, because all I knew about autism was what I had found out through mass media which is nothing like what you find out through people’s experiences, or books etc.

Long story short, the more I look into it the more it feels like the correct fit. But the more it feels like the correct fit, the more weight the expert opinion seems to have. And, an answer of “get out of here you lazy git” would be a bit crushing at this point, precisely because the symptoms seem to fit and explain my life so well.

I take what you are saying though about expert opinions sometimes being less than infallible.

I am going to the appointment tomorrow though, no matter what. Will report back!

Thanks again.

You are absolutely right. Whatever the outcome, I will have learned something. Probably about me, or possibly about the doc. I can always go for a second opinion if needed. I hope it is not necessary, because I don’t have the energy frankly! Thank you though. I am hopeful I am right, it would explain a great deal of things. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you. This is my hope. I had previously decided (loosely) that I didn’t need a diagnosis, and that I would just muddle through. Can’t remember now exactly what triggered it, but a few weeks ago I decided this is worth pursuing. I have done a few questionnaires and it all points the same way. Soon, I can stop wondering!

Thanks. In some ways, with or without the diagnosis, I already have a lot of things explained (and relatable stories, hints, tips, systems - whatever I can glean from other people’s experiences). I guess I would like a pro to agree, to reduce the imposter syndrome a bit. And help me feel like I am home, at last! 🤞

How the *world works

Also played: Jessica Jones (my vote!)

Thanks that’s good to know. I’ve got a Dyson V8 and I also have a fair sized collection of Bosch blue 18V stuff. But my point was really that DeWalt 20V and Bosch 18V (for example) is the same number of cells and same pack voltage at different points in the charge cycle. It’s just that one is marketed differently.

I believe 18V and 20V lithium batteries are two ways of talking about the same thing (5 lithium cells in series, making up the battery). One refers to the nominal voltage of the pack, and the other refers to the maximum voltage of the pack. I think certain manufacturers (DeWalt, and possibly others) started using the max voltage as a marketing tactic.

My go-to is folks, but 1000 others have mentioned that already. So I will throw in “people”.

“Hey people, how’s it going?”

That works for me

I am here very much as a lurker for now. I am working my way through “the book” (and am also about halfway through rustlings). But I would love to see this community thrive and succeed. I will try harder to engage on posts that are relevant to me, and make new posts if/when I can.

Sounds great. I am interested and would love to follow development. I’ll check out the gitlab page. Thanks 👍

Sorry to hear about that. But also thank you for introducing me to this game! I found a free website https://www.futoshiki.com/ and I’m playing it right now!

Thanks - I’ll look those up. I am more than happy to pay for a small subscription or make a donation, this kind of service would definitely be worth it. I do have a server though, so it would also be ok to self-host. (But the more automatic it is, and less maintenance I have to do, the better… ) :)

Thanks Joplin came up on my radar a while back but I had never considered it for this task. With a webdav sync option built in, it might better handle the concurrent granular node/block changes that I hope for, than the file-at-once style of sync that syncthing currently gives me.

Thanks - that looks very interesting, I will take a closer look.

Thanks. I have actually been using logseq for journals and notes, and syncing has been great even with syncthing between my phone and my computers. I just notice enough lag on the sync that I don’t know whether it’ll be as “realtime multiplayer” as workflowy seems to be. With workflowy I can be ticking off completed items while someone else at home is adding things to another part of the list and it just works, which is annoying because as mentioned, I would really rather not use closed source stuff.

I will set up a shared logseq graph though and do some testing. Thanks 👍

I’m curious, what do you prefer about findroid over standard jellyfin media player? They seem to be pretty much the same minus findroid not having transcode support

Findroid allows for seamless downloading of media for offline playing, which is pretty useful. Also it’s focus on only music makes it a bit simpler and more comfortable for me to use.
