ITT: Because it would be and possibly poisonous.

Thank you for your response. Luckily, I cannot say I’m particularly short-tempered. Certainly not moreso than unmedicated. That said, when I do get upset the Strattera might make things a little worse for me, with side effects ranging from dry mouth to dizziness.

Most SSRIs will. And don’t expect it to come back, either…

Would you care to elaborate on the downsides of Strattera? I’ve been considering switching to Vyvanse for a while now but couldn’t find a compelling reason to tell my insurance why they should support the switch (I think lisdexamphetamine is more expensive than atomoxetin).

For me it’s lack of driver support that’s keeping me from buying AMD cards. Has been for literal decades. I’ve never had a more unreal number of bluescreen crashes and black/frozen screen hangups than with AMD cards. Ever since switching to nVidia, maybe one per two years. Every now and then I try AMD again when replacing a card (last in 2016 when the RX480 was touted as a bargain) but the story remains the same.

Whelp, that’s a lot. Your experience feels relatable to me in some ways and alien in others. Sorry I can’t offer anything else at this point but if you have specific questions, I’m sure everyone here will gladly share their experiences and advice. Either way, you clearly belong here. So welcome to the club!

Maybe it’s an ASUS thing but both my current and previous boards have been pretty good with the help texts.

Yup, my first thought as well. While those days are thankfully over, those braindead BIOS “help” messages remain etched into my mind forever.

Guys, please. The solution to Google reinterpreting your search queries has been around for years, and it is called VERBATIM SEARCH. (Search options: All results -> Verbatim). Voila, welcome back to 1997.

Too tired to go to bed. Been there.

Yeah. I’m the neurodivergent person who usually turns on the light when they come into work. All my coworkers seem to enjoy dwelling in darkness (and cONsErVe eNErGy) but I apologize in case I’m waking anyone up and flip that switch anyway. We get a lot of visitors and the place shouldn’t look like a frigging bat cave. Plus, I need the energy that the light gives me, like you said.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet: daytime naps.

Thank you for the words of caution. Having been through burnout and recovery (+therapy, etc.) myself I can 100% second this. Burnout never fully leaves; I always compare it to permanent brain injury. NO JOB IS WORTH BURNING YOURSELF OUT OVER. I ended up selling my company and never regretted it. I’m in a much better place now, doing a job that is meaningful even if underpaid. And I’ve decided against working 100% again, despite the financial downside.

Yes. I use Google Keep for this and it does exactly what I want.

I have a lanyard with a carabiner hooked up to my keys and tie it into a belt loop on my pants whenever available. So for most locks I don’t even need to unhook the carabiner. I find that carrying things on my body is the best way to prevent misplacing them. Which, on a side note, is why I hate to carry things like pocket umbrellas. Despite the name, they don’t fit into my pockets and therefore get put down anywhere when I need my hands free…aaand they’re gone. But I have a snazzy messenger bag that has all my kit for everyday use in it, including a small umbrella.

Thank you for your response, but I was thinking more about the desktop implementations. Resolution is fine on my phone but I would like to max out my 37" WQHD screen.

I don't have a morning routine (although I probably should have one) but setting an alarm and getting up when it sounds is working quite well for me. To reset my brain, I take naps. Sometimes several a day, although they are mostly short (30min). Here, too, setting an alarm helps.

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I've been using NewPipe on my phone for a while now. Do any of these YT alternatives come with support for 1440p resolution? I noticed Invidious is capped at 1080p and sometimes struggles to maintain a stable nitrate at high resolution.
