My rowing machine
In its box
In the basement
For the last year and a half
If you are not physically active in other ways I encourage you to fetch it from the basement and set it up this weekend
Thank you. My partner and myself have not at all been active for a while due to medical issues. There is no raisin we couldn’t use a rowing machine now, though. We need to… be people.
Easier said than done, and I’m in the process of doing it right now as well, but you gotta get used to breaking the constant cycle of “I gotta do it” and replace it with “I will do it now”.
Doesn’t work every time, doesn’t work every day, but every time is a large success that makes my day better and my head a nicer place.
Hi me!
I see this guy also bought a Flipper Zero
Well he certainly got into Meshtastic!
I used mine to get into my office building until someone got suspicious.
How’d you do it
I scanned and copied my RFID keycard.
It’s pretty easy to scan and emulate NFC keycards and such on the flipper. I’m guessing that’s what they did. I’ve been meaning to try it out with mine.
Me too thanks. I can read my cat’s microchip now, which is cool, I guess.
It actually came in handy for that since we got a dog with a chip but not the paperwork, and were able to register her with the service.
Gotta figure out how to make it work with my garage doors next
Fuck.
Ouch, man. Why you gotta attack me like that?
My entire foray into home automation.
There’s a box full of AliExpress zigbee sensors of all sorts in my office.
Someday…
Literally me. I should get to setting this stuff up, probably.
My Japanese saw and shinto rasp just sighed in annoyance.
Hey, I’m in this picture!
The ADHD cope to research a thing for tens of hours across weeks or even months, agonizing over the purchase of the thing (especially if multiple options are available) before ultimately deciding that it isn’t worth the relatively minuscule cost.
I have a problem where everything that I want to buy has been discontinued years ago, so my days of research end up being all for naught by the time I’m ready to pull the trigger. I really need to start reading the publish dates on web pages…
Multiple options will one day be my demise.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. The stereotype of impulse buying is overshadowed by the compulsive need to absolutely make sure the dopamine high off the product is worth the money spent.
Why do we do this, and then sometimes buy crap on impulse and then regret such low quality products without any research? I hate that trait of mine. There’s no in-between.
Ah. Not just me then. Good to know.
Currently going through this watching videos of Walstad method aquariums lol
Well thats a terrible idea, I did that once and now I’m setting up a second one to “do it even better”.
Before you know it you will have a fish room and no money.
You really should put an explicit comment like that behind a content warning.
Sometimes I’m frightened to think about using something.
Thank you for the reminder. Pretty sure I have two random gadgets sitting around on month 3 or 4 somewhere, so now I have a great activity for the weekend, or not, we will see.
Oh, is that what I have…
If that’s ADHD, then capitalism is ADHD for the masses
On the one hand, capitalism loves us (or our money) and wants to make everyone else behave like they have ADHD too. On the other hand it hates us and treats us like pieces of shit, even more than the general population.
Let’s take revenge and try to have a good life without being shamed for ‘slacking’. Living well is the best revenge!
Capitalism does prioritize engagement and spending by exploiting short-term dopamine rushes, so in a way kinda-sorta yes?
ADHD as a clinical diagnosis though is the chronic inability for the brain to absorb/retain dopamine; a neurological or chemical issue that isn’t “caused” by behavior. Severe enough and you get to the point where you desperately want to play a video game or watch a show but can’t even press the start button 🥲
I want to do soooooo many things and almost always end up doing nothing at all 😭 (being medicated helps with that, luckily)
I have everything I need to build an enclosure for my cheap-ass laser. I have things I want to do with the laser when I can use it without smoking up the house. I have not started on it yet.
I have everything I need to make the rc planes I have been designing. Its all sitting on a shelf waiting for me to do my thing.
One of the things has been waiting for me to do my thing since before I moved.
I’ll get to it.
Eventually.
Maybe.
The ceiling fans in my garage call to me on occasion. Usually that occasion is “sitting in a warm room with no air flow.”
It’s been about 6 years now.
