Misread chess as cheese and I'm down with that as a new special interest.

I'm sure I read somewhere that gambling isn't restricted by this Act, under request of the gambling industry.

Is this the study that showed that unvaccinated kids who had an autistic older sibling were more likely to be autistic - because parents had an autistic child, decided vaccines were the cause, had more kids and never vaccinated - but autism is mostly genetic with in-utero activation so obvs genetics...

A lot of the reason Dundee has such a great games producing history is down to the fact that the sinclair spectrum was built here in the timex factory.

Literal tickets.

I pronounce it ebb-ka-dick kinda similar to liebe dich.

Could be sunk cost fallacy in play - you've maybe spent weeks/months/years with this guild and not had any issues (or it's not been directed at you) - or even a raid night after a few hours, especially if it's been hard for you to get in. Sometimes easier to just weather and ignore the dickhead.

Which is probably why they go on to do it again and again.

I'm sure I remember an addon that allowed you to give feedback on players, but it was quickly used to grief decent players.

Thanks. I much prefer "typically low support needs" because high functioning removes the imperative that I need help at times.

I just played this at the weekend - Blue Prince on the PS5.

The round round baby round round paradox?

I was going to mention this as well, from memory updating the services is in the pipeline so they made this front end that honoured the timings - and then a temporary solution became permanent.

I can't really listen to music while I'm working because I concentrate more on the music - however music is great when I'm doing "boring" tasks like gardening, or cleaning.

If I'm working, I'll happily watch world cooking videos - before I was diagnosed with inattentive adhd I'd say that it was to keep the inner child happy and out of the way so the adult brain could do the work.

Really helps me, as someone diagnosed and medicated for inattentive adhd.

For example if someone emails me an issue saying "that invoice software you wrote has a slight miscalculation" instead of taking me ages to work up the ability to even start working on the issue never mind trying to calm my mind to go through the data logically - if i'm having a manic adhd day - I will get the person to pop along and we can go through the issue together, this helps my brain immensely.

Even at home now if I have something urgent to do, I'll get my mum or a friend to pop round and sit and chat with me while I do the work - whether it's the laundry, or laying turf in a garden.

Otherwise I'll procrastinate until it's (almost) too late yet feel guilty every second of the time I'm not doing what I need to do.

They're called cams, the metal part it pulls in is a dowel. Older ones you had to make sure were fitted before you put the dowel in, but the newer ones you can fit afterwards - so if you have a panel that has many dowels to go through many holes you no longer have to swear many times when one falls out and you have to start the process again. Beautiful in their simplicity.

made me wonder if the brain works in a similar way converting the incoming eye information into what the brain "sees" - it's just pattern matching based on what has been seen before and showing the best fit - psychadelics disrupt that.

I'm really sensitive to sounds, my neighbours above me and to the sides of me tag teamed my life to almost suicide.

I had bose nc700s, I slept with loop quiets. I tried airpod pros, moving the furniture around but it seemed my bedroom was a bass resonator.

Moved to a semi detached house, it's so quiet.

I got a pair of these just before Christmas and they've really helped - I tried "occupational lenses" which are a strange bifocal with a central focus of 3ft and then outwards it changes to the reading prescription, did not work with how I use the display in that my head is usually fixed and I move my eyes.

The intermediate distance lenses are great and my headaches have vastly reduced - because they were specific for VDU, my work paid for a portion of them.

Howdee doodilly doo! It's begun.

I'm responding to your comment in a public forum - why would you specifically choose the chance of a low return on your money vs other cars unless you're specifically choosing to be an activist, that's not activism?

Even if you see it as a white good and not as activism then surely the fact that the resale value will be much lower may assist your decision, unless you're being an activist and choosing the car specifically for what it stands for, no?

Definitely wouldn't buy a car from someone who feels it's ok to do a couple of nazi salutes in a very public way.

I had a headache that seemed like a cluster headache and I took lsd every week for about 3 years, I'd get 5 days headache free out of 7 - was wonderful.

Then I met a gp who actually helped and mentioned indometacin and because that worked I was diagnosed with chronic parosysmal hemicrania.

PPIs didn't work, so I took ranitidine but eventually my stomach couldn't take the indometacin anymore and I had to stop it - the headaches returned.

Then I had an abcess in my jaw that almost killed me of sepsis and had to have two surgeries on my jaw and spent a month in the hospital on antibiotics. CPH didn't return.

Now I take a mild dose of propranolol daily and I rarely have headaches or migraines.

I read books on auditory processing disorder about 8 to 10 years before I was diagnosed autistic.

I can watch youtube cookery or world food with no issue, but as soon as someone "real" talks I have a buffer of about 10s before my thoughts come crashing down around me - I think it's the expectation of response, and I can only talk or listen, my verbal output is single threaded and probably running on some old crappy processor with fdiv errors.

They've been very informative, thanks.

For some it's not as simple as calories in / calories out.

I stopped taking tirzepatide in September after losing 60lbs. Except for a blip at Christmas I am eating the same things and same amounts that I was during the weight loss with glp1 and I am steadily putting on weight, there is definitely something else going on and yet for the 20+ previous years where I've struggled to lose weight I've been told that I'm just not counting calories right.

As you said the first time I felt really full was on these drugs, and the lack of food noise - which is slowly returning but not as quickly as I thought - was wonderous.

My clinical psychiatrist crudely described autism as taking many - sometimes longer - pathways through the brain to do things and monotropism could be simply a sticky myelin sheath.

But both could be true - a myelin sheath disorder along with hyperconnectivity could explain so many sensory issues and such singular processing.

hmm - still feel autistic on psilocybin and other tryptamines but more aware (and it works like a reset switch), however I've never felt as normal (or more like the people around me) as I did that first summer I binged mdma - when I managed to stay awake that is...

I had an Italian sound engineer pal and a Czech one too...

One would think that should apply to essential services like power, but here in the UK our largest energy distribution network is owned by France.
