Also, mici.

My wife reacts really well to medication - however, it took some time until she found the proper dosage. If she takes 20mg, it’s too little, and she just feels droopy. If she takes 30mg, it’s too much and she feels anxious. So one 25mg pill in the morning and another pill after lunch works really well for her (Ritalin). There are other variables, like when she is really tired or she’s on her period, too. What I want to say is that maybe 30mg is not right for you, try it out for a few days and discuss with your doctor, so if it didn’t work, adjust the dosage or change to something else.

I… guess? I don’t know how I would classify these games. But they all are able to steal from me 8h in a day, no issue :)

Project Zomboid, Rimworl, Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, Starsector…

I don’t live so far north, but good, light, waterproof boots. Of course, everything else people recommended already - good gloves, socks, jacket, and layers. But for me personally, boots would be the most important.

My ADHD kids are not aggressive, on the contrary. And each one of them behaves and reacts differently, especially without/after medication.

I’ll try my best to give some answers.

1. Lack of focus, getting lost in thoughts, or hyper focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time - my kids get up at 6:15am to catch the 7:25am to go to school, and somehow that’s still not enough time… Also, taking 4h to do homework that otherwise would take 30m.
2. Like I mentioned, my kids are not aggressive or hyperactive, they are on the other side of the scale - while my boy has a large group of friends, my middle daughter has none (she is also diagnosed with ASD), and it’s really difficult for her to fit in. My little daughter does have a bit of an extroverted personality, and she really tries to fit in and grab the attention of people, but most kids push back. She fits right in with the adults though, becoming fast friends with our (the adults) group of friends.
3. Nothing in regards to aggression, but my son and middle daughter go to therapy, my middle daughter also goes to group therapy (for kids with ASD). Also, they all take Ritalin in the morning, and that helped quite a bit, especially at school, but it was not a “fix”, just a helper.
4. It can be overwhelming at times - mood swings, overreacting to the smallest issue, crying for hours for not finishing the test in time, or forgetting the school account password… We have many talks, trying to reassure them as best as I can.
5. We did a lot of reading, from online articles to books about ADHD, talking to a couple psychiatrists, but probably the best resource was my wife’s own ADHD diagnosis. She did a lot of research!

If you have any questions, please ask.

I do twitch a little when I hear someone saying bravi to a single person :)

We use digital ocean for a pre-production k8s environment, as well as other stuff, no complaints. Terraform works great with it. My only issue is that the worker nodes IPs change during/after an update, so we have to update our firewalls a few times, while the update is running, and after it’s over.

The EU has been burying their wires for a while, and new members are doing it too. Romania used to look like 2nd pic, not so much anymore. It works.

3.5€ for a brand new cast iron wok. Instabuy.

True, but if I used alumnus instead of alumni, wouldn’t I just sound pretentious?

Interesting, is that a comfort thing? Like wearing headphones everywhere with nothing playing in them?

It’s uncomfortable for me too. I asked HR to keep mine private at work, but before this I would just react with a like to the wishes and write a short thatnk you all at the end of the day… The late wishes I would just ignore…

How is duckdns unreliable? I use it just to have wireguard access, been using it for years. Just curious about your issues…

Apartment in a country house, 3 bedrooms, one living/dining area, kitchen, full bathroom, small restroom, cellar/pantry, small garage (which can’t fit our current car), one parking place, decent size terrace and backyard. Two of my kids share one of the bedrooms.

We are thinking of moving to the city, as the kids are getting ready to start uni, and we are looking at 4-6 bedrooms, so every kid has their own room, and maybe even have one or two dedicated offices, since we work from home. We currently have desks in our bedroom and the livingroom. And hopefully more than 2 toilets, since it’s a struggle every morning :)

That sounds like a “it’s complicated” status :)

Good on you guys for making it work!

The stock YouTube app can be disabled, and they only have one choice… Works for my kids.

Look into mattermost. Quite powerful, and free.

Andy Cooks - amazing chef, easy to follow recipes (he uses metric first), but also a nice, down to earth, no-nonsense guy.

I’m relistening to Max Brooks’ “Zombie Survival Guide” while commuting and High Howey’s “Dust” (from the Silo trilogy) when I can focus. I managed to listen to 15 books this year so far, and I am really proud of myself for that. :)
