  • 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…



  • This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.

    If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.

    I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad…

    Because I have a firstname.lastname@popularcloudemail.domain type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.

    I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!





  • 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 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…

    Well. In a one on one call with him once (he’s my local member) I asked him why we could not protect individual rights with a charter of human rights.

    I would describe the tone of his response as visceral… He said to me:

    "[I don’t trust the courts in interpreting legislation like that. I would not want to give them an inch. Just look what they’ve done down in Victoria.]{paraphrased}

    [As far as I’m concerned, the parliament is perfectly placed to decide what is, and is not a human right, and if you disagree with me, you can vote me out… ]{direct quote}"

    I assume the VIC reference was to the judges that had been appointed most recently with track records of upholding human rights…
