“It’s been an honour to serve our nation, the American people and support and defend the Constitution for over 37 years,” he said.
I read this in Jar Jar Bink's voice
Neurodivergent is also a word I dislike. Neurodivergent literally means that your brain has strayed.
No, I'm not divergent. I have a certain type of traits.
This is intertwined with "Neurotypical" . There is no such thing. I have a professional relationship with one of Europe's foremost Psychiatrists. Talking about this, he told me that the concept of the "normal", i.e. well adjusted, reasonable, even-keel person may be applicable to maybe 20% of the population. Everyone else has some form of mental issue, often undiagnosed.
Interesting that the propeller blades are similar to wind turbine blades, optimized for low speed, and not like modern turboprop scimitars
We are not sick, we have mind that evolved for purposes that are a lot less useful in the present. Meds allow us to tone down our tendencies, to be able to cope better in current societies.
If your meds are zombifying you, dosage or medication are not right. Ideally I'd shoot for baseline plus a small amount of ADD
What's the point ?
How about improving your life, like a lot.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in my early 50's.
When I got the medication dialed in, I was like "Fuck! People live like this their whole lives!?"
It was like I had been living inside a tumble dryer, and now I was looking in from the outside.

I use a pretty decent app, MyTherapy, that has gentle reminders after the first one. I use it like snooze. I take my meds exactly around the scheduled time

I'm thinking torque rather than speed. I have converted an Ender 5 Plus to Hybrid core Y, with the Endorphin mod and I'm mulling adding an extra stepper on the X, and increasing power on the Y, either with a larger Y dual shaft or adding an extra stepper on the Y in series.
I really like elegoo rpetg. It really likes moisture, though. Not a problem for me with my redneck dryer, though.
I'll be making a video with my setup soon.
I had a bunch of rolls of plain petg, and dumped them on a second hand market. Never looking back.
Also, Sunlu PLA+ 2.0. Great PLA.
I want to try Polymaker HT-PLA-GF. High temp resistance (150°C) right off the printer, more if annealed, and glass fiber. Should be a great replacement for many engineering filaments, but printable on vanilla printers without enclosure/filters.
