I Work with computer-free problems in spare time (ie get a hobby like gardening).

The people who want to run everything like a business either have never worked for a business or is a Business Idiot who doesn’t know how much waste happens in the average business.

It’s not inflation, it’s continued wealth transfer

Vampirism, but after it was cured, he dumped her.

One that we know of.

He dated 17 year old Shoshanna Lonstein as a 39 year old, for about 4 years.

I don’t watch much tv and always got a weird vibe from Seinfeld. I’m surprised he’s not preeminent in the Epstein files but I suppose he’s only kinda wealthy, not politically powerful.

Risk of infection in that office is skyrocketing. As few as 10 Norovirus virions are needed to infect a person.

Grok is a series of GPUs stuffed in a warehouse with generators and extension cables, with instructions to promote fascism and create child porn.

Whine some more.

There was a time when common sense said the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, going around the earth. Even simple things must be proven. Before we can find out more about why this occurs, we need to be certain that it does occur.

One? Tie between redoing CFAA, DMCA, and privacy regulations before they became problems.

Hopefully all the time it’s taking will result in a half decent result. Siri is frequently less useful than just talking to a rock.

It could just as well be delays related to capacity.

Adding to this because I took my Vyvanse and golly this is way more fun than work. I’m on the AuADHD spectrum comorbid with a side of depression. “Is it the depression or ADHD interfering with executive function, or just screen addiction?” Any way the doctor wants to diagnose it, the drugs get me off the couch.

All those coping exercises that people give you - make a list, set timers, whatever - they actually work when you’re on a drug that works. The first couple days, for me, tend to be a bit of a high before my system adjusts. If you can use that alongside the novelty adhd bonus, it’ll help. Make some lists of things you need to get done, set goals, set timers. All that stuff.

I’ve set up a schedule for myself that’s working with my current job. I have a piece of work I’m going to get done and when I’m done that I’ll break for a snack and a workout. If I reach for my phone I try to catch myself and stick to the task. Maybe I’ll set up a pomodoro if the task seems to drag, or if I’m multitasking (could be a break to get water and check email, or a break to change laundry or a break to walk the dog depending on what you need to do and how you’re feeling.)

This all takes time and experience and patience. The drugs may not work great for a while. You may need more, or you may need less, or you may need to change them.

You may find that you need to adjust your life too - I have to moderate caffeine intake and I need to be really on top of life factors like food and drink and especially sleep. My partner says I’m distant - I’m impatient and have a drive to get things done, rather than cuddle. Sex drive is muted while the drugs are active and when they wear off I’d rather sleep. Irritability is sometimes magnified. If your dose hits too late it can fuck up sleep. It increases my desire for alcohol - thinking about it, I should declare that a problem in my life; I’ll drink as soon as I can after work when I’m on the drugs (“social” drinking is still unhealthy overall).

I only drink 2 200mL cups of coffee a day, but I still have found that depending on external factors, it can stimulate too much anxiety and I need to cut back to 1 or less. It’s a morning wake up ritual and I did try decaf, but short of a double blind study i think the caffeine hits faster or differently than the drug.

I am a skinny person and track calories in order to maintain a weight and body composition I want - I’m the person who loses weight on vacation - and the drugs make that worse because I don’t have an urge to eat on stimulants. Many people don’t have a problem with this because their appetite returns when the drugs wear off and they kinda do a form of time restricted eating, but because my appetite isn’t huge to begin with and I need to eat specific macronutrients, it’s tough to get the calories in sometimes.

It ain’t a magic pill.

Everyone reacts a bit differently, and it takes time to dial in a therapy. Like anything, drugs are only one part of the treatment. You need to be mentally prepared for them to work.

Line up work and set achievable goals. Remember that your hyperfocus rate of productivity is also a symptom of ADHD and you don’t need to achieve that to be a success. Don’t forget to eat.

If I don’t have an idea of where to direct my focus, I will absolutely focus on something irrelevant. I’ve planned 3 week intercontinental trips in detail, with no fucking plans or intent to take these trips because I got off course. I’ve spent the morning of workday sorting my budget (which isn’t entirely a bad thing to do, but I did have something to do for work that arguably was more time sensitive).

If you don’t have any coping mechanisms in place, stimulants aren’t a magic pill to suddenly become a neurotypical with tumbleweeds in the brain when you’re not doing accounting. You’re still who you are, just with a bit more capacity for focus.

You can’t fix a seal with wood glue or cyanoacrylate. Buy the part.

ETA - there’s good stuff mixed in with bad here. Permission is good, but Losing control of the device (version restrictions) isn’t good and those audit logs are creepy.

However, seasonal variations are a thing. You’d need a lot more in winter. June makes over 6x the power that January makes. Batteries aren’t really a total solution to that.

I suspect, though I don’t know for sure, that a 100% coverage of Vienna roofs is going to be close to that 400m2. Walkways, parks, roads, railways, and all that add up. Your square is over Prater, and Augarten for example, and the Danube.

That would be lovely.
