  • I don’t know if it’s ADHD, autism, a combination of both, or something else entirely, but I have very specific routes when driving. For instance, most of my drives in town are to the grocery store. I take the same route every time without fail. If I am taking certain turns, I am going to the grocery store.

    Sometimes, my wife will need to visit the crafts store nearby. It’s a very similar route, except for one specific turn that I skip. We will get in the car, and she will have to remind me 9 times out of 10 to not take the specific turn that goes to the grocery store. Because the routine is that if I take turns A, B, and C, then turn D to the grocery is what naturally follows. It’s not because I’ve forgotten we’re going to the crafts store (though I probably have). It’s because if I’ve taken these specific turns, I must be driving to the grocery store.

    It’s almost muscle memory at this stage. She’ll see my pinky reach for the turn signal and holler DON’T. And yes, it has to be loud and abrupt because if not, odds are I won’t process it in time and we will be driving to the grocery store.





  • I own a '97 Honda. The last owner had LEDs in it. The lenses weren’t designed for LEDs, they were designed for halogens. So one of the first things I did was revert the headlights to halogen bulbs. And they work perfectly fine. I drive in a suburb so the streets are already fairly well lit. I don’t need to cast a beam 5 miles out to see where I’m going.

    Also, it’s that soft yellowish white light. Not that harsh daylight bluish light everyone and their mom is obsessed with. I don’t get it. Anyway, the best thing you can do in 99 times of 100 is to consider what equipment you have and stick to OEM spec.

    Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.


  • Was this made by my wife? Are you her? She really has to know all the minutiae of the flow before deciding whether it’s worth going with.

    Not a dig at her, btw. It can be frustrating to deal with in the moment (I’m more go with the flow than she is), but when we get there and everything goes smoothly, I genuinely appreciate her already having it figured out.

  • Idk about you, but I feel a great sense of freedom using Linux.

    In terms of “many versions,” my advice: Mint if you loved the Windows UI, Ubuntu if you want regular updates, Debian if you want rock solid reliability. That’s it. That’s all you need to know if you’re new to Linux. Skip everything else until you’re comfy, or if you like it, stay a while. There is nothing wrong with either of the three. You’ll learn to hate Snap on Ubuntu, and once you do, just install Debian.
