“Secede”

A local ‘the end is high’ sign man had changed his tune as soon the election result hit. He had handwritten signs spelling out the doom America is headed towards and how the healthcare system (Obama care) has fucked him over covering every panel of his '90s chevy. After Nov. it’s all good, no doom here we are headed in to a new golden era or whatever. About a week later someone took all of his new signs. Haven’t seen him since but his tape stained truck is still sitting there. I hope he took the opportunity to move on but after talking to him briefly in the summer that probably will never be the case.

It was set when perscribed, then my doctor retired and left me with the device and no real guidance or continuation. This was back in 2020-21 and I havent used it since. Also the unit was recalled for having insulation find its way into the airway.

I used one for sometime and I found it made me feel short of breath in the morning. Like the feeling after jogging for a couple miles but from sleep.

It tastes like pickles at room temp.

I just tell them to go to sleep then if they are so concerned about being woke. They won’t see the woke if they aren’t woke.

When it’s wrapped in plastic it can be individually picked. In a warehouse large quantities of stuff is stored away in bulk, sometimes palletized. A picker goes around and picks out the items from the larger bulk of items to put together a shipping order. If they were individually wrapped, whether by the warehouse or their distributor, it is for general protection(so that it feels new) and ease of handling.

Source: worked many of the lower positions at different warehouses for some years.

This is probably not the answer you are looking for but I have found I am very focused when it is “other peoples time”. When I have free time I struggle to do anything productive or otherwise because there is everything I need to do in that amount of free time. If I am late, procrastinating, or absent from something like work or school I get so much more done because then I feel compelled to do “that one last thing” before I go. I’ve cleaned my whole house because I was waiting for the right time to walk to the bus stop. The problem with this is that people tend to dislike flakyness or inconsistency when they expect you to show up on time. 🤷

I got two from a local WA Dem organization. I got them right after I voted and the rhetoric seems to be along the lines of “don’t forget to turn in your ballot!” Nothing specific on the first. The second one was more specific and showed a table of the last four elections and whether or not a vote was cast. I’ll try to remember to post a pic later.

I like to reply to these with tons of questions, no stone unturned. If they give a reasonable answer is likely legit. I get a bunch of these because of a resume that had all my warehouse experience on it, big mistake since I don’t know who has it.

I’ve taken Adderall for the past year and tried some other stimulants. So far adderall is tolerated better by my body and and wallet compared to other meds.

Improvements: Follow-through with tasks since I can hold an idea or thought to the end. Being okay with good enough, I am not fighting my self to make it perfect and just move on. I can read a book. Math is actually interesting since it doesn’t feel like I am looking at a shattered mirror of scattered lessons. I am suprised about how much stuff I have retained from school but couldn’t utilize. My handwriting is great and doesnt feel like a chore to make it legible. Conversations feel like I’m actually in the room and participating. I don’t know how I did customer service and retail before.

What did not improve: My short term memory still sucks. Playing 20 questions to get a super simple concept out is shorter but still happens. Procratination is just different, now I do some productive stuff while procrastinating so maybe it’s an improvement. While doing things is easier, the planning phase of anything is a game of moving deck chairs on the Titanic and I just improvise in the end. Time is still an illusion and holy fuck I’m late for work.

One of the things that didn’t improve for me, keeping records of things.

I just finished Badurs Gate 3 on a gaming laptop I got from a yardsale a decade ago. Victory is bittersweet and a slideshow.

I was having some problems with playback on youtube with “buffering”, random skips, the video reloading, etc. It turns out that those pauses and skips were for ads that uBlock stopped. Channels with more ad placements(new videos from large channels, large companies) would stop more often. Looking at the logs for Ublock showed me that yt does track how much of the video you have watched regardless of where you started. Say I load a video and skip to the middle. It will do a callout for time watched.

I am not sure if I’m right but anyone else could correct or expand on this as I am no expert in how youtube does anything these days.

His license expired but he’s gonna do it anyway.

Thanks

Less Mormons, but more evangelicals and JWs.

Is sinking a tampoline a Danish nautical tradition?

Thanks for this blast from the past. RIP Gus.
