My favourite was when my GP gave me a list of 10 docs to call to see who was taking referrals for adult diagnosis.

Yeah, that list sat unopenend (combination of overwhelmed and totally forgot) till 6 months later when I had to see the GP again, I panicked, and I called all 10 in the 30mins before my GP appt and then was late for the GP and almost missed my GP appt…

Fun times…

+1 for Thunderbird for Windows, OSX and Linux…

As a product manager, I simply choose to overlook things like “implementation details” or “the laws of physics!!” /s 🤣

On a more serious note, I’m just reaching a point where I just want a small, reliable, and minimalist mp3 playing app for the Mac, as I’m starting to get sick of every single service wanting $20/m for stuff.

I pine for the whipping the Lamas ass winamp used to give…

There’s a recreation in re:Amp for osx, but I’d much prefer OSS apps…

Generally, I’d rather go back to just buying the music I want, ripping it and putting it on the devices I want to listen to it from…

Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!

BlazeCut Tseries 50cm is about right for a 3d printer enclosure volume.

Prusa sells a 30cm one as an option for their enclosure, but it is undersized for the enclosure volume, so I bought the 50cm one separately.

I was also diagnosed late in life (mid 40s).

For me it became a significant impact in two places in my life:

1. as my roles changed and I needed more ability to handle “blank page” type work assignments as I became more senior, rather than “survive this chaos” which I’ve always excelled at (given my ability to drop something, pick up something else, then revert later.) With previous “chaos surfing” roles, my now diagnosed ADHD was actually a secret super power (seriously, I managed turn ADHD into a career). As my roles became more “take this blank page, and figure out what to do, and make it into a project to make stuff better” I fell off a performance cliff.

2. as 1 happened, my ramp up of symptom management routines started to impact my family. (I didn’t actually realise this until my partner filled in her part of my diagnosis questionnaire. )

My Doc basically told me I had been doing everything they want ADHD patients to do to manage the impacts of their symptoms, but my level of challenge had reached a point where medication could help me live at an effort level below the 99.99% constant I had all the time.

He was right and it did…

I’m a product manager and I want to punch this comic strip!!!

I live in a subtropical area.

Short answer: YES!!.

I now religiously use a filament dryer, VAC bags and loose silica beads that I bag my self into DIY teabags and then redry in the oven.

I also make sure to dry new filament for 24hours before using it the first time…

Since I started doing this for PLA and PETG, many of my previous my print issues dissapeared…

This video helped me more than I could have ever imagined with what you described. It helps me understand waaaaay better what’s going on in my brain.

Depends on the price. I was able to return a 13 month old iPhone when apple announced the CSAM scanning (that they eventually abandoned) - I got a full refund. The phone costs enough that ACL considers it should operate for at least 2 years.

At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.

So THAT’S why they called that the “Taco Bell Comet”…

Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house…

Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!

Test your hearing range with this if you want…

I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz…

What is the app?

Had a miniature poodle go blind at my parents hiise when I was 17/18 and he was peeing everywhere in the house suddenly.

Spent a day watching and realised he was laying scent markers for navigation.

Cleaned up all the wee and started tagging the left side of every doorway with a different herb/spice (basil, thyme, Rosemary, paprika etc). Just grabbed some dried herbs and rubbed them in the bottom left of all the doorways.

Took the dog through the house on a lead, and let him smell each door and took him outside.

Pretty much stopped the inside peejng, unless we forgot to replace the herb/spice rubs, or mixed up which herb went where when we reapplied…

My friends started calling my place the KFC shack.

If an article about The Onion drops on the web, does anyone think its real?

And it was actually 0day when the production company made the scene…

FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.

Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…

Please do keep voting with your wallet - its one of the few remaining ways to express our discontent!) That being said, I feel like both of those examples are where the service provided by adobe and then Netflix are terrible.

Adobe is making you buy a whole year and Netflix is hassling you for “letting your pensioner mum watch your account”… To me, both of those are examples of bad service (coupled with cost).

For me, a counter example for me is amazon.com: I hate what they’re doing to the retail landscape but find it hard to resist, as I find them SOOO convenient, and their customer service (for now) is absolutely stunning!!! Now if their prices were too high, I’d personally probably pay for that convenience a bit. (Where there model breaks for me completely is warranty major purchases: I’ve had warranty denied by manufacturers for items purchased through non approved amazon resellers. So now, for me, anything over $100 and I’m looking for direct purchase from the manufacturer as a preference. )
