Visually at first it’s going to be mostly weight loss. How much depends on how much caloric deficit you are running - rule of the thumb if you eat 500 kcal less than what you burn per day you will lose about a pound/0.5kg per week. Diet is 80% of success. Your muscle gains will be low while you are losing weight, but your existing muscles will become more visible.

You see yourself every day so it’s going to be hard to spot differences - compare monthly photos.

Alternatively you could eliminate oil company tax breaks and direct subsidies and that alone would fund it.

• don’t be an asshole
• everything is allowed as long as nobody is getting hurt
• act when you see something wrong
• when you are able to help do so
• in all other cases mind your own business

See 2nd half of the post for some tips.

I’m going to echo what some others said: medication is usually effective and often so much so it feels like cheating. I know you’ve mentioned it’s impossible to get it where you live, but it’s very likely you are wrong about it:

Several years ago I moved back to my home country (Poland) only to learn that according to local regulation there is no such thing as an adult with ADHD. They reluctantly admit that ADHD exists, but only as a childhood condition. On top of that most doctors don’t like or straight up won’t prescribe anything psychoactive, even antidepressants. It took me a while to find a doctor that would prescribe me the meds I need, only to learn that what I was taking for years was not available in the country, so every 3 months I’ve had to go through entire target import procedure to get 90 days worth of pills.

It’s hard to get those meds in many countries, but people who need them and manage to get them share their experiences. Do some searching and you might find some help.

General tips:

• try to do small tasks immediately when you learn you have to do something
• if you can’t do something immediately write it down. anything not done or written down immediately has been cast into the void ;-)
• always carry a notepad and something to write on you
• increase friction of switching to something else. Sit down at an empty desk to do work, so you have to get up to do something else. Keep your phone in a pocket with a zipper, so you have to unzip it to take it out
• minimize impact. I tend to put down whatever I’m holding if distracted and completely forget where I put it, so I put an easily accessible catch-all bowl in every room. Most of the time I only have check the bowls
• routine is your friend, it makes it harder to get sidetracked and increases the part of your life that happens on autopilot
• if you see you are getting things done keep the flow going. don’t reward yourself with a break until you are ready do nothing productive for the rest of the day

Working at a desk/on a computer:

• remove absolutely everything from your desk that you can. ideally it’s mouse, keyboard, monitor. avoid having any snacks on the desk too.
• if you have people walking around you or behind your screen move or try to block them. A cubicle is surprisingly ADHD friendly
• block sound distractions. listening to regular music might not be a good fit here, but myNoise or focus@will works great for me
• phone in a pocket/purse. notifications off. if it has to be on the desk put it as far to the side as possible and screen down
• if you have people at work who are constant distractions have a serious conversation with them. after that conversation every time they interrupt what you are doing make sure to remind them: “I told you it’s going to take me half an hour to focus again, please be more mindful of that”
• disable all notifications and if you have to have them enabled set up filters to minimize what you see. Surprisingly in most workplaces checking you email 1-3 times a day is more than enough

Check silica packet effectiveness below 50% humidity… It’s not great. Molecular sieve on the other hand has no problem getting humidity below 5%. I managed to buy a 10kg bucket of 3A sieve for about $120 and it’s going to be enough for many years.

I store all my filament in ziplock bags with some 3a molecular sieve - even after 2 years in 45-65% humidity at 21C room I don’t have to dry PETG.

I have bought K712 before the plague and ended up returning them. There was a little more bass than Q701, which was nice, but he amazing treble of Q701 was gone. I found the “upgrade” sounding boring and generic.

To clarify: I have other headphones: HD660S, M1060C and each of them have something to offer as far as listening experience goes, just like Q701. K712 didn’t add anything new, nor was it an acceptable Q701 replacement.

Same, but I have some hope for the 440 lbs anvil in the shed.

You can’t get Q701s anymore… and K712 which was supposed to be an upgrade sounds like shit, so I keep repairing mine and postponing switching to the backup pair I managed to snag as new old stock…

I’m more tired of dozens of reposts of the same porn that I can’t filter out because NSFW is a catch-all for anything 18+. I also have an issue with the quality of the said porn :-P

They (FCC) forced firmwares being signed so nobody can install their own on the off chance it unlocks TX power or frequencies not allowed by FCC.

It mostly is, but it has it’s drawbacks:

• if I don’t feel like cooking I don’t have an option of ordering a pizza or eating out - I’m outside of delivery range of everything
• closest town has limited choice of everything. I have to get everything shipped or drive for 1.5h.
• anything but essential services is more than half an hour away

also you end up thinking weird thoughts few people have before: e.g. “how do I stop moose from trampling my garlic?” I mean how many people throughout human history had pondered that? ;-)

I gave up on everyone: I’ve packed my shit and moved back to the EU, to a middle of nowhere, population 50. Closest neighbor is a 10 minute walk away. Started a large garden, learned some blacksmithing and basic carpentry. Still working remotely for the same company as before, but now when I go outside I have fresh air, I can see the stars and I can hear nobody.
