My mom bought some awesome South American Christmas ornaments way back in the day. One of them is a parrot and it has been on the tree as long as I can remember.

Parrots are Christmas animals now.

Don’t tell me what to boil! What is this, communist Russia?

There is a test suite. It tests that three lines are logged to the console. The tests all fail.

All wood is edible if you have the correct attitude and determination

Study after study had shown that most tap water from a reasonably well-maintained public water supply has less microbes and pollutants than bottled water. Most of the time it also tastes better.

What is this sorcery?

It turns out that the best way to cure ADHD is simply not to have it in the first place. Why haven’t anyone thought of this before?

I was in my late thirties when I finally had my diagnosis. It gave me a surprising amount of peace knowing that all of those things I’ve struggled with all my life was in fact a condition/a disability and not just me not trying hard enough. Having a professional say it was not all my own fault did mean a lot.

Getting diagnosed also meant I could get drugs. Those helped a lot too. They’re not miracle cures that makes it all go away but they have really made a difference.

Back in my day we had multiple continents but now the tectonic plates have gone woke and wants us all to be one continent!
