JFC, this is an ADHD thing? I manage paying personal bills okay (though e-bills and automation are amazing), but sending an invoice or checking if payment has been made? What?
I just always thought my spoiled ass doesn't really understand the value of money; that only the feeling of responsibility (or when my banking account strangely runs out, through no fault of my own) makes me pay any attention to it.
A wide-mouth food thermos was a game changer. Insert pasta, salt & hot water, remember to stir once about 1-5 minutes in. Then depending on how close to about 20 minutes in you remember it, it will be more or less a disgusting overcooked mess, but there's no risk of burning anything!
Buffa and other comic opera. More dumb plots, less experimental music!
Question about autistic friends, how do they/you feel like when someone politely and moderately informed-ly disagrees with your take on the topic of choice?
Personally I love it when people question or even disagree with me, yay learning something new or a new perspective, but sometimes the intensity makes expressing disagreement or "uh, actually, that's a common misconception but..." feel offensive. (Yes, I know more/different aspects of a niche interest than an autistic friend of mine who is also into it, I'm as shocked as you are.)
And then you get another Thought, try to hold on to both of them, and well, you know well that works.
Some reporting I read on it referred to
A Microsoft executive admitted under oath in a French Senate inquiry in July that it cannot guarantee data sovereignty to European customers due to the CLOUD Act. The US legislation allows authorities stateside to demand access to any data held by American companies anywhere in the world.
Which I'd hope is a big damn minus in any sovereignty considerations.
I desperately want to start actively practicing flute again. And to actually perform gong fu tea again and learn to make good tea with the method. Neither is boring, and great leaps of progress could be had with so little effort, but I'm just "done" with them.
Fuck. Mine is free to me through public healthcare because Nordics, yearly masks and so far one replacement included.
Have you looked into DIY versions (yes I know, project graveyard) or Chinese ones? Long ago before I had access to a "real" one, I got a BMC APAP w/ humidifier & oximeter (not needed for use) from Wish for maybe 350€, because the risk of toxic fumes felt worth it and it still works just fine, even if it smells plastic-y after non-use.
Are there any "scatterbrained to an un-funny extent" communities? There definitely should be.
