@gizmomathboy @minego singing the song of my people there

@minego @gizmomathboy even for me it clarifies more than it amplifies.

Family’s got a history of self-medicating stronger stuff, so I figured caffeine was an acceptable choice all things considered.

@minego @gizmomathboy Fingers crossed this helps more! I had to revert to self-medicating thanks to the executive dysfunction obstacles involved in staying medicated with the current US health care system.

Coffee (less than before, and switch to mushroom coffee mid-afternoon) is not as helpful but also not as much of a hassle. An acceptable tradeoff for me.

@ieatkillerbees that and sometimes had to go for her when she was working two jobs

@ieatkillerbees yep that’s the one.

Course, it was a gas station not a deli but it was the place that would cash her checks, let me buy smokes for her, and have some of the hot burritos they were about to toss

@lowqualityfacts “I wish I was the smartest person in the room” or something like that

Devastating, whatever the exact phrasing was.

@robby @mhoye every time I want to add a feature to my IDE, PKM, or task manager, it occurs to me that it can be and probably already has been done in Emacs.

@amydentata I’ve gotten so much smug over the last few months. Really uplifting.

That said I’m looking forward to paychecks and buyer’s remorse.

@genehack the grandpa was inspirational and the badge thing was irritational. What a ride!

@genehack Yes indeed. It meshes with “flow” which is absolutely not just a thing for individuals. Good teams have a flow.
