I was formally diagnosed with ADHD in February, so am still very much finding my way, with medication helping a lot with my work life. However, my first child was born near the tail end of last year and boy did I not expect how debilitating things would be. I love being a dad, I love my kid so much it hurts, but any time I'm home with her around I end up in a hyper focus kind of state trying to keep her out of trouble (she's very, very active). Even with her sleeping through the night, I have to get up at around 4.30 every morning for an 8am start, 10 minutes away, otherwise everything ends up in a shambles, usually with me forgetting to eat breakfast, or take lunch, or my meds, or me a grown man ending up in tears because of the pressure to get ready for the day, which is not something I'd ever experienced before. The worst bit is makes it that much harder to properly enjoy the moments with her. Being a parent is hard enough as is, but this is really something else.

I spent 4 hours today trying to figure out why a calculation to get a percentage (in decimal) was always returning exactly 1 no matter what parameters I tried passing to it. Turns out I'd forgotten to cast the ints being provided to decimal, even though I've had to do that so many times before. I'm not a sharp man

I feel attacked, I only did that like half a dozen times when I was in high school. And years later to my now wife when we'd only known each other a brief while (though that worked out I guess)

There are some photos in my post history all taken with using it, but here's one of a sad dandelion

I had a damaged Google Carboard that I cut in half, and taped a magnet to so I could stick it to the back of my phone and use as a budget macro lens. Works a treat for me

It's quite likely!

It got hit by a CSAM spam attack, so I guess it was taken offline until they can deal with tidying it up
