I had to quit taking adderall last year because the side effects outweighed the decreasing benefits I was getting. So I've been with out pharmaceutical assistance for the past 9 months.
Lately I've been REALLY struggling with productivity at work (ie not really working). So I took an adderall xr this morning. You could probably plot the metabolosis of the adderall by the frequency/speed of my knee bouncing. 😆 📈 📉 . Faster as it first kicks in, then slower as it approaches full efficacy

Them: Karstan, this is super high priority.We need you to drop everything address this issue right now!
Me: Okay, I need some clarification on a couple of points before I can start working on it.
Them: Sorry, we don't have time. This isn't that high of a priority.
Me: 😐

Hey gardening folks! Any suggestions on keeping slugs from eating all my plants without murdering all the slugs? I've tried copper mesh in the past with poor results.

The owner and CEO of the company I work for just "liked" my 10 year work anniversary on LinkedIn. Should I mention to him that if he really liked having me in this position, he probably should have given me a raise sometime in the last 4 years?
Anyway, the only reason I logged in to that hellsite is because I just decided to actively look for another job.

@npub1dm5…5sqe maul fought with a double-bladed weapon and the author probably didn't understand the difference between double-bladed and doubled-edged.

It was my understanding that Judicial appointments only need to be approved by the Senate. I don't think the House is involved at all. Not that the Senate isn't it's only clusterfuck.

Hey weather nerds. I want an outdoor weather station. Or at the very least an outdoor thermometer. Preferably something durable and not something made of cheap plastic. Also no "wi-fi enabled" devices. Suggestions?

@npub1yzt…qh0x Wait, i could have sworn somebody told me public transit wasn't cost effective or efficient? 🤔

@npub1u5c…zs8w I have no idea who or what you're talking about. 🤷

I generally prefer #StarTrek over #StarWars 9 times out of 10. HOWEVER, one thing that the Star Wars franchise has done DRASTICALLY better at: refraining from retconning the entire look, feel, and defining characteristics of technology or species every time some fucking mediocre, white dudebro is put in charge and decides they need to "refresh" the franchise.

If you will forgive me for being earnest for a moment: I am increasingly convinced that the world desperately needs more radical empathy and kindness.
I had a post drafted about gritty anti-heros and snarky main characters in media. But as I edited it, I realized I maybe meant something else.
Everything in our society encourages us to yell, lash out, be sarcastic, etc. Those are certainly understandable reactions to the escalating crises of the 21st Century. But maybe not the solutions?

I started re-reading Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy this past week. I remember thinking the first time I read it that while the underlying story was neat, a lot of the writing seemed very... dated. Subtle racism, sexism, weirdly unnecessary pro-capitalism propaganda, and worse
This time through I'm noticing that the -isms aren't exactly subtle? So I checked the copyright date expecting to be the 60s or 70s. Nope. Late 90s 🤦. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend the series. #scifi #bookstodon

#introduction How to define a Karstan? I'm just this guy, you know? Some labels that fit me: #maker, #neurodivergent (severe #ADHD), #vegan, cis man, #nerd, #lefty. (Day job is as a sysadmin in fintech)
I tinker on stuff. Wood stuff, metal stuff, digital stuff, and so forth. Portland, OR resident since 2000. I like #bikes. And #sailboats. Politically rather far to the #left. But revolutions aren't JUST about lining fascists up against a wall. They take everyday #communitybuilding and #kindness.
