    They stop trying

    Shit, that hits hard, this is so me. I’ve never realised this can also be part of ADHD, I’ve always thought this was just because I’ve been bullied a lot in my youth and the resulting self-esteem issues. Guess I might be double blessed. 😅

    Thanks for sharing this!

    I’ve got a waterproof timer which I set when I need to shower within a set timeframe. Seeing a countdown helps keeping a sense of urgency and helps me with not getting lost in thought.When I’m not on a limit I’ll put it in clock mode so I can let my thoughts wander, while still having some sense of elapsed time.



  • public transport is fun

    Unfortunately here public transport is seen as something best left to ‘the market’, instead of treating it as a public commodity which gets its economic value from enabling people to contribute to economy by enabling them to get to work, go shopping etc. So now ticket prices are ridiculous, to the point where taking the car is 2-3 times cheaper. And of course you’ll need to get to said transport first. Need a bus? If you do not live in a city or larger town you’re just shit out of luck after 18:00 or so. Need to be somewhere, somewhat early in the morning? Wel tough luck for you, make sure to have somebody with a car standby to drop you off at the nearest train station. I want to like public transport and consider it fun, but my experience every time I try it is pain, suffering and awkward schedules instead. ☹️

    Isn’t dendrite formation and the shorts they can cause a much bigger concern when dealing with old batteries that are being charged 24/7? Asking a genuine question here, so please don’t shoot me if I’m wrong. 🙂 I’d love to hear more about the most common failure modes and causes for li-po/ion batteries.




  • I’ve started a new playthrough a few weeks ago, almost got a bout of PTSD at the memory of that escape sequence. Originally once you got on your horse you would be peppered with arrows and often bleed out before you got even half-way to Talmberg, or you just got killed the moment your horse ran out of stamina. Which happened multiple times as you couldn’t let stamina regenerate fully before you had to start a new gallop and while trotting along you just had to hope those Cuman archers would miss their shots or you’d be screwed.

    It’s definitely a lot more doable these days, didn’t had any problems this time. Just as long as you remember to gallop and keep it up as long as possible. But the lack of obvious directions underway can be confusing, make sure to listen carefully to Henry’s comments. >!And of course don’t bother to engage the Cumans once you leave the castle, if you want to help Theresa just whistle to get the attention of her attackers while keeping on running to the horse conveniently parked a little bit further up ahead.!<






  • The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.

    It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:

    “What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you’re getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm”

    In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would probably result in very bad, and likely very short, times.
