It's from Duluth Trading Co. It's their brand I guess. I think it is actually the tiny, or maybe they called it micro, I can't recall. I like a knife that fits in the coin pocket of my jeans.

It's a Saddleback Leather Indiana. It fits everything pictured here + a laptop charger, water bottle, and assorted random junk.

It's a higo, from Japan. Got it from Duluth trading co. No, it does not lock open. You hold it open with your thumb by pressing down on the lever. Worth note, it's not stainless, it's forged carbon steel. If it's put away even a little wet it will rust.

That's a lazy answer for being wrong. Seems like you knew the correct word all along, but decided to use an ageist pejorative instead, and now you're upset for being called out on it.

I... can't buy any more pocket knives. Must resist...

That's really cool. My first thought was, is that glow-in-the-dark?

So you were born in 1996, but the part of your brain that handles coding was born in 1966? How is that possible? Do you even know what a boomer is?

We're going to be the first species to go extinct due to stupidity. A dude the other day told me that the guy who invented the weather channel says that global warming is due to Earth's orbit not being a perfect circle. I don't know how to combat that level of stupid.

These are the things that keep me from anxiety and depression.

Maintain high-quality relationships with people who enrich your life.

Get good sleep. 7.5 hours of solid sleep every night.

Watch your diet. Don't eat too much processed food. Keep meat and dairy to 1/3 of what you eat.

Take care of something. Dogs and cats are great but so are reptiles, fish and even plants.

Find work that challenges you in ways that keep you engaged, but doesn't punish you for being neurodivergent.

Coffee, one cup in the morning. Try to get your focus work done in the first half of the day, while the caffeine is still pumping. If you can handle it, have a 2nd cup before noon, buy only if it doesn't keep you from going to sleep at a good time.

A compound bow has letoff. When fully drawn the draw weight is much less than the full draw weight of the bow. The lower number is the pressure you will feel at full draw. The higher number is the pressure the arrow will get right before it leaves the bow.

It depends. If I get into a really interesting book, and then spend several hours reading, I sometimes feel like that. Like I got so sucked into the world of the book that I left this one. Sometimes at the end of a really long, really good movie I feel the same. It doesn't feel as bad as you describe though. Just kind of disorienting.

If I get into a flow state at work it feels fantastic. At the end I feel tired, but in a good way. I can relax and usually kind of revel in whatever was created during the flow state. It feels so good, I have to be careful not to overindulge. If I don't watch it, I'll ignore all the boring work that's not likely to get me into a flow.

I highly recommend anyone with ADHD to look into flow state theory.

I was just listening to The Hidden Brain, they talked about an experiment. Scientists bioengineered rats to have no dopamine receptors. If they put food in the rat's mouth it would eat, but if they put the food even one body length away, the rat would starve to death. I have never felt so much sympathy for a rat.
