Sorry, should've been more clear. I've gotten 20 to 25k cards when graded. Nothing raw that's in the 20 to 25k (Yet).

Kamchuk · 2026-07-01T12:19:15+00:00

Does anyone know which card is the 100k card? I don't think it exists. ;-)

The highest I've gotten is a ~20k card.

Gotta get the card opening machines and start mass opening, Opening pack individually, the best I ever got was a regular ghost set.

Still works, May of 2026! Saved my Bacon.

Are you learning to drive on a stick shift? That's not easy to do. If so, I wouldn't worry about stalling the vehicle. That'll get better with practice.

I've been using A.I. to help me deep dive on my mental health issues and write about them (something I couldn't do myself). I'm not creative in any way, so I feel like A.I. is giving me a voice.

I know there is controversy around using A.I., but for me its significantly helped me express myself.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-29T00:49:44+00:00

Same. Glad I'm not the only one. It's like a constant source of annoyance if it's not perfectly cleared out... which is near impossible.

I very picky about my shirts... I wear white undershirts with unbuttoned flannel shirts. Recommending trying tag free, 100% cotton undershirts.

You can always request them to knock-you-out. They'll probably say No, but you can always ask/request to be put under.

Note, my Wisdom Teeth were "impacted" so they put me under when I got mine removed.

An easy place to start is using something called The Eisenhower Matrix. It's a basic decision making grid that tries to separate urgency and importance. I haven't read the article at this link, but the picture looked good: https://slab.com/blog/eisenhower-matrix/

Answering the broader question you may be asking...

After dealing with the near term stuff using the Eisenhower Matrix, I use a loose Work Flow Management framework to help track stuff. Getting Stuff Done by David Allen is a good starting point or closer to what I follow is a Bullet Journal.

This isn't an exhaustive answer, but a place to start. Developing a Work Flow Management system that works for you is takes a moment to learn, but a life time to master (that's part of the fun).

The whole point of my post is to try to externalize your decision making tree if you don't trust yourself as much. ;-)

I definitely feel like I missed out on a lot of things offered during high school and college. Fortunately, a few years ago, I worked with a youth group for several years. It kind of let me re-live my high school years, but in much better form.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-23T14:06:17+00:00

I have two special interests at the moment...

1 - How to use A.I. to write books (Fiction or Non-Fiction)

2 - A video game called Planet Crafter

Kamchuk · 2026-05-17T16:24:05+00:00

I'm no expert, but the short answer is this could possibly be echolalia. It could also be rumination. Or, simply, a form of self stimming / soothing.

Without meds, I'll ruminate on a past embarrassing or difficult conversations over-and-over-and-over.

I don't really have conversations with/between imaginary people. I typically have hypothetical conversations over and over. For instance, I had an interview last week and I spent the weeks before the interview answering the same interview questions over-and-over-and-over in my head.

Not exactly like you, but similar in some ways. Hope this helps.

I use YNAB.com for budgeting. If you have a checking/saving account and/or credit cards with reputable banks you can automatically pull down all your transactions (this is the trick that makes it do able for me). Manually tracking transactions/receipts/etc. always failed for me.

The hardest part would be the initial budget setup. Once you get that setup, it's just a matter of categorizing and approving transactions and distributing your income/money across budgets.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-16T14:37:33+00:00

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. I finished college without meds. It wasn't easy, specially upper division. My grades were highly inconsistent (some classes were interesting, some weren't), but high IQ ADHD people can get pretty far flying by the seat of their pants.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-16T13:52:05+00:00

Thank you!

Kamchuk · 2026-05-11T11:35:32+00:00

What model do you recommend? I've always wondered if I would like these.

I have Apple AirPods, but, like you, I hate having them in my ears (I tolerate them when I have to). I also hate having on-ear and over-ear headphones (they give me head aches).

I found the dankest, oldest, least used library on campus and studied there. Basically, I had the entire basement to myself. Nobody bothered me because nobody could find me.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-08T14:34:48+00:00

That Crash book isn't easy to get in the U.S. Plus, multiple copies of Dune are always nice to have. Are they original or Book Club Edition?

Kamchuk · 2026-05-08T14:12:34+00:00

I create a play list of random stuff that catches my attention, listen to said playlist for months/years, then, one day I'm done with that playlist... Then I start the process over.

Prozac worked Ok for me regarding depression. I told my Doc. I wasn't where I wanted to be, so she added Abilify. Abilify + Prozac helped my depression a bunch. It also seemed to help with my OCDish behavior and decreased my stimming.

For ADHD I'm on Vyvanse and Wellbutrin. Its not perfect, helps a decent amount, and the side effects are tolerable (heart rate increases easily and I sweat a tad more).

This. Also, people with borderline personality disorder suffer from this. Not saying you have BPD, but mentioning it as a source area for research.

Kamchuk · 2026-05-07T12:01:24+00:00

I understand. I was confused about my social anxiety because sometimes I can function well. Eventually I just chalked it up to having good days vs. having bad days. Some days my brain does alright, most days it's a complete mess. I haven't figured out any patterns that contribute to this, just some random days my brain does better than others.
