  • My PCP got me to do an online questionnaire through ADHD Online.

    He thought it was quackery until the pandemic essentially forced him to try sending people down that route. He now trusts the results (and finds it way quicker + cheaper than a referral to an in-state specialist). Basically, your questionnaire takes the place of an in-person interview and gets assessed by a doctor in a low-population state. (I think mine was reviewed by a doctor in North Dakota or something.) I think it was about $90 (out of pocket).

    Based on that I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

    I followed up with my PCP, who got me on a low grade antidepressant. I don’t feel depressed or anxious anymore, and it’s helped me turn my ADHD into a superpower. (My brain is still all over the place, but I have the confidence to weaponize it.) I’m definitely one of the lucky ones, but that’s the journey I took.





  • The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!

    Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.

    The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they’re usually so late game that I haven’t minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
