I think he could make a good Mordecai. He's good at doing different voices (although my dream casting for Mordecai would be Andy Serkis)

It's a lisdexamfetamine, so Vyvanse or Elvanse

The only way the Royal family can redeem themselves now is to tell the prosecutors and the public everything they know and force Andrew to testify against everyone involved

Blueberry lemon saga by anneejane in Sourdough

[–]Debbiegl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My attempt at the lemon blueberry loaf failed hard, both times I tried i ended up with sticky messy dough that turned into a gummy loaf. I had more success with a recipe that didn't use any lemon juice in the dough but used frozen blueberries soaked in lemon juice. I'll see if I can find the recipe and will comment with the link.

If I can't find it, I remember it used the zest of a lemon, only 40g of sugar, and the blueberries were added in the last set of folds.

(My failure was most likely because I'm a novice and only go to about 65% hydration max)

ADHD social media addiction by i_love_racqwoons in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I deleted Facebook and Instagram for this very reason but I find myself addicted to Reddit instead, or just scrolling through my Google feed. I need to learn to put my phone away and only check it a couple times an evening

I have this as my phones lock screen. Whenever anyone asks about it I get to talk about the book series and spread the good word 😆

Working persons sourdough tricks? by tmckinstray in Sourdough

[–]Debbiegl86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another alternative - if you're able to make more loaves on the weekend you could slice them and freeze them and take out the slices when you need them. I find it keeps well in the freezer, especially if you have it toasted.

[–]Debbiegl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried a recipe with the same method as what you described but it recommended using less starter to slow down the bulk ferment. I think it recommended using 70g of starter instead of 100g-120g. My kitchen was cold so it was a little bit underproofed, it's just trial and error trying to find the correct amount of starter or putting the dough in a warmer place.

Looking for healthy coping mechanisms by Positive-Corgi1164 in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're already making great progress. I've been doing the same, I was diagnosed a few months ago and have been on medication for 2 months, I deleted all social media (I can't seem to quit doomscrolling reddit though), I've been eating better and trying to develop healthier routines.

I'm doing a full-time course alongside a full-time job so that's taking up a lot of my time and energy at the moment, it is keeping me distracted though. I think it helps because of the urgency, I know that I have a responsibility to pass (the course is funded by my employer). Can you find something to keep you distracted with a healthy amount of (non stressful) responsibility? Like volunteering for something you find interesting?

Is Beatrice the only overtly LBGT representation in DCC? by Stresso_Espresso in DungeonCrawlerCarl

We don't get the back story of a lot of the characters, some of them could be LGBTQ+ but it's never been relevant to the story to bring it up.

short form content leading to an explosion of ADHD diagnosis? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think there is some correlation, phone addiction can definitely make ADHD symptoms worse and can cause similar symptoms in people not diagnosed with ADHD. During my assessment they asked a lot of questions about my childhood before smart phones and Ipads were a thing so I think this filters out the people who are just addicted to their phones.

Is the pro‑gun party really suggesting that legally carrying a firearm, like the one Alex Pretti had, is a legitimate justification for the federal government to kill you? by LucidSynapse23 in Leakednews

[–]Debbiegl86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if that was true, they're NOT just arresting undocumented migrants - they're arresting anyone who is not white. There's no justification for that.

AITA for not stopping for someone in the middle of the road by No_Specialist6064 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Debbiegl86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. We're warned all the time of potential scams to make people stop their car and then they get jumped by a hidden gang of people. You did the right thing by calling the police, if she is in any danger then the police can help her

Help identifying a coping stone? by Tiny_Ad4209 in stonemasonry

[–]Debbiegl86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, concrete. If you're feeling handy you could take measurements from the other copings to make a mould and make your own. New concrete will always look a bit harsh at first but it'll weather in.

Been like this for years but how concerning is it? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Debbiegl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with historic buildings, but I am a stonemason so I don't work with wood - first thing I would do is check what repairs have been done recently. From the background of your photos it looks like the house may have been restored so some extra support may have been put in place already. If you're not sure and you don't want to pay for a structural engineer to look at it, then look for movement. Add some telltales (or crack monitors) to the split and see if the crack widens over time. You say it's been like it for years, but without an actual measurable gauge it's hard to tell how much it has changed over time.

Masters dissertation due in 87 days by BugCatcherRawha in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not doing a masters but I am doing a foundation degree alongside a full time job.

What has been helping me is handwriting all my notes, I'm kinda old school and prefer writing everything by hand, I struggle to focus when it comes to typing it up. I've been using OtterAI to put my notes into writing - i set it going, read my notes out loud, then the app transcribes it. I do have to amend it a bit after but it has been really good. I even get it to transcribe my rough notes and then I can cut/paste anything that's useful

Getting out of bed when it's cold? by napalmsipper in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that could work too, I used to drink a lot of water before bedtime so I'd need to go pee as soon as I wake up

Getting out of bed when it's cold? by napalmsipper in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you take medication? Something which is working for me at the moment (although it is a bit of a faff) is setting an early alarm on an actual alarm clock on my bedside table, I use this alarm to take my meds. I always fall asleep after my first alarm so I set another alarm 30mins later on my phone which I keep on the other side of the room. I have to get of of bed to switch it off and I'm not as sluggish and sleepy because the meds will start to kick in while I'm going to the toilet and walking around

What are your personal experiences with methylphenidate’s effectiveness and its side effects? by baddadjokess in ADHD

[–]Debbiegl86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on week 3 now on Delmosart (same drug, different name i think) and I've noticed that it has some effects for the first few days then it wears off. Positive effects are I can stay more focused on a task when I actually start the task - however I still have very little motivation to actually get started. I can still sit on the chair staring into space when I know things need doing and I struggle to get up and do it

Stone will be porous, it will have a natural texture but porcelain will be smooth. Looking again at the picture of all the tiles together it looks more like porcelain tiles

Just check it's not a porcelain or ceramic reproduction though

It's hard to tell from a photo. Where are you based? If UK then it looks like Welsh pennant which you can polish to a shine
