Wow the BBC just aired a piece that was reasonable about ADHD, treated it like an actual mental health condition.
I’m so used to it being treated like it doesn’t exist.
No doubt the Daily Mail still has an opinion for some reason… 🙄

It appears DHL is legitimately using WhatsApp for delivery notifications now, I cannot see how that would be abused at all, cold-sending notifications with links...

There needs to be some kind of cable swap service.
Every other year I need an HDMI-to-DisplayPort or something random, and every time I SWEAR I already have one and grudge buying another one.

"Andrew won't be tax-payer funded"...
said by people who don't understand the Sovereign Grant comes from The Crown, the same Crown you pay your taxes to...
Yes it has it's own assets, but they belong to the state (The Crown), not Charlie.

I'd look at who is currently shorting the UK economy, hoping for a sudden chancellor change before the budget.
That is who "suddenly" revealed Rachel Reeves made a mistake and is pushing the story hard.

Does Virgin Media do maintenance at 11PM?
Like clockwork, my internet will disconnect at 11PM.
It's been rock solid for over 4 years, last six months it disconnects every other night, granted I only use their box as a modem feeding into my UniFi setup.

I hate Oxford Street.
Can’t wait for it to be pedestrianized, more opportunity to be walked into by people staring at their fondleslabs.

Walked into the kitchen and thought: did the power go out and I didn't notice, all the clocks are at 00:00?
Midnight. It's midnight. 🤦
I should go to bed.

I remember when Netflix would pay you if you could develop a better recommendation algorithm.
Now all it can do is recommend things it knows I've already watched.
Right up there with Amazon's "We see you've just bought X, would you like to buy X."

If Tk Maxx is ADHD, Uniqlo is autism.
I feel way more comfortable in the latter...

Please never take me to the sensory nightmare that is TK Maxx ever again.
It's too loud, it's too busy, nothing is organised, the aisles are too narow, and oh my god the cheap body product and candle smell.

Relocated my dedicated VPN server from the UK to The Netherlands.
I only configured it to keep a secure connection wherever I was, to the UK was fine. Now I have a reason to have it outside the UK...

What is the name of that job in US TV/Film of the person who goes round handing people court documents saying "You've been served."
Is that a real job, if so, does it exist in the UK and how do I get it?

Done my first MHRA Yellow Card report.
Since starting the Elvanse, every muscle hurts. Not like a pulled muscle in a particular area, everything from the neck down.
It's not a listed side effect, and I'd started nothing else.
Unless I had a weirdly specific injury everywhere I forgot about... 😂
