It took me until I was 45 to finally get screened. I really wish I had done it sooner, it is not that rough. But I said the exact same thing when I bumped into this notion. I was quite resistant to the idea, which is itself a fascinating m

I was very defensive when my wife said that I should consider being screened for ADHD, I have the exact experience you do (a the OP) around this stuff. The defensiveness was something that I sorted out, and looking back on things, so many

Adding my voice to this experience. I have been a user for about 2 years, and I love it. I also appreciate that they support non-txt 2fa for login security. My only quibble is that I wish I could generate a card that I could give to a someo

It gets worse: if you use 2fa the security code generated by the symantec thing is just appended to the password, so if your password is still a valid length, but then the 2fa takes it over 30 chars, it fails. It is the worst.

I have many healthcare issues in my family, so I have a lot of experience with this. It is very dependent on the field. Some are booked out for months, others you can get an appointment the week of, it is very hard to predict. Also, most

I like your description of "pest magnets", I have been referring to them as plant tanks. My overgrown raspberries tank the japanese beetles for the blueberries. Plus the yield of the raspberries isn't significantly dented by

My focus is on "lazy gardening" -- or how much can I get nature to automate things. How much can I use waste biomass as a resource. Etc. I end up with a lot of failures, but the successes are really satisfying. The main challen

I have been very happy with privacy.com for this very purpose.

I got access and I am a nobody. I registered a long time ago and it took maybe 8 months to get in.

Another datapoint is dead-bugs-on-windshield. It's so many fewer than there used to be.

A group collaborating will have better chance of survival than an individual. The upside of working with your neighbors outweighs the benefit of destroying them.

You can connect it to external screen also just using a usb-c dongle with hdmi on it.

I have been using lazygit for about six months, and I love it.

Also heat pump water heaters essentially air condition/de-humidify your closet/garage/etc which is great in humid climates.

I love my Grado SR60s which are just about 20 years old now. The left post that the headphone is connected to needs replacement (I'm using tape for now), and I sent them to Grado to replace the cable ~10 years ago. Otherwise they are

To clarify the other commenter's point, I am a founders edition of geforceNow and it used to have just everything. Like if it was in my Steam library, I could play it. Early editions just basically launched a slimmed down RDP session

Don't forget the revolutionary off-ear audio. It's fantastic, and as far as I know, there's still nothing out there like it.

I always find it funny that fasting comes up so often, but a ctrl-f almost never turns up someone mentioning Ramadan. Nearly 25% of the world population fasts for an entire month, but it's almost invisible to the western world. While I

This has all the hallmarks of being terrible, yet it is not. I also felt that it was unreasonably good. Or maybe you were trying to make a joke?

I am so happy to see so many people who love Jasper HIll. It warms my vermonter heart. :)

In addition to Caledonia Spirits, Barr Hill makes a killer Gin (the vodka is totally under-appreciated, imo), and Hooker Mountain Distillery makes a bunch of interesting stuff (my favorite is Spruce), at affordable prices.

I'm just going to keep boosting Jasper Hill wherever I see it. :). I love all of their cheeses. They recently came out with a Winnimere with Barr Hill gin (another top-shelf artisanal producer in VT that makes stellar liquor). It&#x2

Big thumbs up to everything from Jasper Hill Farms. If you ever get a chance to try the Winnimere, it's... really something.

I would not underestimate the impact bankruptcy plays in someone's life. You would be getting a bankruptcy on your record in the prime of your life (mid-twenties), making it very very difficult to borrow for the next 10 years. You end

I do hot-cold-hot, so: stage 1: hot, get clean (soaps) stage 2: cold (focus, empty mind, ~1m) stage3: hot (reset, new day feeling, sometimes I save hair conditioner for this step, ~2m) My showers take ~10m.

My water is 4-10C at its coldest. For me if it gets above 15C it doesn't have the same effect. As cold as possible is best.

I do warm-cold-as-possible-warm. It is my favorite thing mentally. The best is sauna-cold-sauna-cold...etc, but the shower is a close second if the water is under 10C. If the water is warmer than that, it doesn't trigger the cold-wate

One of my favorite things is to sauna, then cold shower, then brief sauna again, and my nerves get totally reset such that I can go sit in a -20C chair outside and will not be cold for a surprisingly long time. It feels great. If the water

This is what I have been doing for about a decade. It doesn't work as well if the water can't get below 15C. Typically I count slowly to 60 while under the cold water, and try to focus on the count. It is easy to get lost at aro
