I’ve got two, so I have a whole week of time to keep forgetting to refill it.

Yup. Best part, it often happens at 6 pm.

Are there any “scatterbrained to an un-funny extent” communities? There definitely should be.

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!

And then you get another Thought, try to hold on to both of them, and well, you know well that works.

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.

There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time… Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse’s “no” is firm.

Depending on how much time has passed, your old gear might have been outdated anyway, so many new shinies.

eyes all the new reasonably priced multi-filament or resin printers

If I buy it used, it means someone is willing to pay that much for a used one, it’s practically an investment!

I think my induction cooktop has over-temperature protection in case all the water had evaporated. Nothing for the oven though. I love the Instant Pot (probably other tabletop pressure cookers too) for the timers & “keep warm” function.

Strategy is phone alarms. When I remember.

If only the intense interest even lasted over 2 years.

(Tea, historical flutes, opera, treasure hunting/metal detecting, BJDs, woodwind maintenance & repair, Meshtastic/Meshcore/Reticulum radio, 3D printing/modeling/CNC)

Of course. And every eraser. Even after I’d long since learned that it’s a bad idea. But that moment of the snap is so satisfying.

Acorns in brick wall venting holes, pencil tips in softwood desks, toothpicks in toys…

I got diagnosed at 45. Dear god it was a relief to find out there’s a neurological reason why being forced to/forcing myself to clean my spaces was something I did with massive effort, in tears, through the power of self-hatred, for the first 25-30 years of my life.

Also so much getting things stuck in other things.

I sold “the chair” about half a year ago. Now they take up half the sofa & some floor by the bed.
