I’ve taken Adderall for the past year and tried some other stimulants. So far adderall is tolerated better by my body and and wallet compared to other meds.

Improvements: Follow-through with tasks since I can hold an idea or thought to the end. Being okay with good enough, I am not fighting my self to make it perfect and just move on. I can read a book. Math is actually interesting since it doesn’t feel like I am looking at a shattered mirror of scattered lessons. I am suprised about how much stuff I have retained from school but couldn’t utilize. My handwriting is great and doesnt feel like a chore to make it legible. Conversations feel like I’m actually in the room and participating. I don’t know how I did customer service and retail before.

What did not improve: My short term memory still sucks. Playing 20 questions to get a super simple concept out is shorter but still happens. Procratination is just different, now I do some productive stuff while procrastinating so maybe it’s an improvement. While doing things is easier, the planning phase of anything is a game of moving deck chairs on the Titanic and I just improvise in the end. Time is still an illusion and holy fuck I’m late for work.

One of the things that didn’t improve for me, keeping records of things.

The trick is to use other people’s time and money to create crime against nature.

I use KeePassXC its free works on what I use. The encrypted list of passwords is synced with my phone twice a day with Syncthing. Chrome had a fit with the android app to I switched to Firefox after. I selfhost it because it’s free and I know enough to troubleshoot any problems.

Not yet. I got the parts and I need to get a line wrench. Maybe a friend to help with the brake bleeding.

I’m replacing my master brake cylinder and booster in my truck. It’ll be the first time working on a car I actually own. Never done this in a GMC but i was told by a friend its easy(probably not). Was gonna have a shop do it but they are gonna charge me as much as I pay in rent.

His license expired but he’s gonna do it anyway.

If you disconnect them you can charge them fees

Thanks for this blast from the past. RIP Gus.

Blood of his enemies. Keeps Brandon from coming out.

We’re seeing a bunch of promises made when LLM were the novel hot shit. Now that we’ve plateaued on how useful they are to the average consumer every AI product is just a beta test that will drop support as soon as something newer and shinier comes along.

Oh boy, is that a new distro??
