I think the problem is that a lot of people are written a prescription and told “ok, go get on with things”. I worked with a psychiatrist over nearly 18 months titrating up and down on various different medications until we found one that w

This is absolutely not true. I take prescribed stimulants for ADHD that has a significant hyperactive element. The stimulants significantly calm my hyperactivity. I used to self medicate with large amounts of coffee. After my 11th espresso

While anecdotal advice can be useful to contextualise stuff like this I would strongly be to urge you not to base this decision on advice from semi-anonymous people, and get a proper psychiatric assessment of your ADHD if you are able to. I

It seems to indicate that the sea level is higher than any time since it was constructed. There are significant winter storms in Northern Europe right now, so it’s not unexpected. However this is apparently a “once in a decade” occurrence s

The title of this is slightly inaccurate. It’s the first time the barrier has closed at its default 300cm surge level. It has previously closed for testing with the level set down to 280cm to test it in storm conditions.

Took a look, it’s a long thread! I don’t see a debunking as such apart from your own statement that they were flagged for melody. Apologies if I’ve missed something that is key to this. However I respectfully suggest that this is a misunder

I know very little of your religion so I’m not familiar with many hymns at all but I thought this was interesting and so did a quick check. It seems many popular hymns are still in copyright - not necessarily the melody, but often the lyric

I suspect this is because it’s only entered the public domain in the US. The rules are different territory by territory, and in a lot of European countries it is life + 70 years based on principle participants. Given Charles Rogers - one of

This is definitely a US mindset. In Europe I look at the Ioniq 5 and think “that’s a huge car”. I love the Citroen Ami and the Microlino. I very nearly bought an Ami earlier this year (I test drove it. It’s insane and absolutely should not

I’ve not eaten three meals a day since I was about 8 years old. I eat one meal a day and if I’m hungry - which is rare - I’ll have something small mid afternoon, some bread dipped in oil and vinegar or an apple and cheese. I then eat late i

Tangentially, I had never seen the term “ouster” before this week. To someone used to British English it grates horribly. I saw an explanation somewhere that it is because it’s of French origin, but it doesn’t make it stick out any less.

We once ended up billing what was effectively £4900 for 2 x 25 minute sessions to show a bunch of hedge fund managers how to send a tweet. That equates to £5880 an hour. If I include travel each way it was only £2261 an hour.

Genuinely interested to know why - without being present - you think this would not have provided some sort of measurement of this. While it wasn’t scientifically devised it also wasn’t just “play a couple of things”.
