Coffee and ADHD
  • It's not a universal rule at all. I know people who are very ADHD who if they drink coffee they have a panic attack. I know people who it makes tired, and I know people who it makes productive. Personally it makes me more talkative.

    Basically, it's not a criteria for diagnosis at all. Everyone's brain chemistry is different. There might be a higher percentage of people with ADHD whom caffeine does not affect compared to the general population, but that does not at all mean that to be ADHD you have to have that same thing.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Windows kept shoving their stupid Edge browser down my throat. Tried every way to remove it and it kept popping back up like malware. Kept annoying me with "upgrade to Windows 11 popups." I've used windows 11 on other people's laptops and was flabbergasted that there were ads on paid software. In addition to that I heard 10 will stop getting security updates next year so I bit the bullet and switched to mint full time. It's worked well for me so far.

  • The single most thing that improved your ADHD?
  • Straterra didn't do shit other than make my libido nonexistent. Ritalin has worked well for me. I know people who felt like they were in hell while on Ritalin. A lot of it is trial and error since all bodies process them differently.

    I will say, there are genetic tests you can take to see which medications are tolerated well by your body. I took one and surprise surprise, I had the markers for straterra not being well tolerated. Also if you have other family members who have ADHD and are on medication it's a good idea to ask them since your genetics will be somewhat similar.

  • How to remove stripped laptop screw?
  • All of the other six screws were easy but this particular one was very stubborn. It is indeed still full of hot glue.

    I haven't got a rotary tool or the proper drill bits. Rotary tool is a no since it's a laptop and I don't wanna damage it, but I will get some of those drill bits if the screw extractor doesn't work. Hoping not to have to take it to a technician

  • How to remove stripped laptop screw?

    I stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can't open the back cover to replace parts.

    Things I've tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun

    Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice

    GrapheneOS questions/help

    As per my previous post regarding Instagram, it was suggested to me to add it to a separate profile on grapheneOS. I have a couple of questions about it:

    1.) Does the VPN on my main profile apply to my secondary profile

    2.) Do I even need a VPN on my second profile if the only thing on it is Instagram and most permissions are off

    3.) Is there a way to transfer selected images/files to the secondary profile

    Any other tips for limiting Instagram's tracking are welcome as well. EXCEPT for "Instagram bad get rid of it." I am already aware of that.

    How is instagram spying on me?

    I want to preface this by saying that yes, I know that Instagram is bad. I am planning to get rid of it in the future but as of now I have to keep it for communication with people who are only on that platform.

    So I have grapheneOS, use protonvpn (free version), use mull as my browser, and do not have google play services enabled on my phone. I do have some apps downloaded through aurora store such as Instagram, whatsapp, mychart, and mint mobile, but the rest came from f-droid.

    I have noticed multiple times that after having private conversations on matrix, I get Instagram content in my feed that is scarily accurate to the conversation I had on the other platform immediately after. I know that things discussed in Instagram direct messages and group chat will give suggested content based on those conversations, but I get stuff that that is very specific to what I have ONLY discussed on matrix and didn't look up via my browser.

    So my question is how is Instagram doing this and what can I do to mitigate the spying it's doing on my other apps. Thanks.

    Anybody interested in a druidism community on here?

    I'm thinking about making a druidism instance community to discuss the practice and share stories and the likes. I'm not strictly opposed to it being a more general nature spirituality instance, depends on what y'all are thinking.

    Anybody interested in joining and/or modding one?

    Edit: I meant a community, not an instance. Got my Lemmy vocabulary mixed up. My apologies.

    Edit 2: The community has been made. Go to !nature_spirituality

    Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum)

    Boneset is a pretty common "weed" in the eastern US. It's easy to find in wet, disturbed habitats.

    Uses:

    -Fever

    -Anti inflammation

    -Colds

    Do NOT consume in large amounts. It has mild liver toxicity and thus should just be used when needed.

    How would you envision Solarpunk schools and education?

    This can be the way things are taught, who are the teachers, what a school day would look like, where classes are taught, what things what look like, etc.

    Fish Emulsion Fertilizer: a great resource for organic farming

    I use Fish Emulsion Fertilizer a lot in my own garden. It's organic, and most importantly WORKS. You typically use it for plants bearing fruit (such as tomatoes, watermelon, squash) and not leafy vegetables (spinach, Swiss Chard, etc). It makes the fruits a lot tastier from my experience. I typically buy it from my local farmer's CO-OP, but it's not an uncommon find elsewhere.

    Here's a helpful guide on using it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/using-fish-emulsion.htm

    Solarpunk Spirituality

    I've been thinking about Solarpunk spiritualities/philosophies. Not gonna use the word religion here to avoid the negative connotations of that.

    I've been practicing druidism way before I ever discovered solarpunk, and I feel like the two are very compatible with each other. Love of nature, do no harm to others, fluid and evolving, open to interpretation.

    Any other ideas about already existing spiritual philosophies that are compatible with solarpunk?
