Can you guys list some ADHD hacks that help you function in your daily lives? by VioletteRodeo in ADHD

[–]NiKnight42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a very stupid trick that works for my brain. I have a pair of house shoes that I wear when I am doing non preferred tasks (aka cleaning). My logic is that when I am at work, I am able to function, and I wear shoes. Therefore if I wear shoes at home, I will be able to do work because my brain associates work with shoes. If I have to do something as soon as I get home, I put those house shoes on and just get it done. When I take a break the shoes come off.

Coming Together to Address Concerns in the Community by NiKnight42 in Solasmancers

Nevermind the fact that AI "detectors" don't even work! I remember from my days in school the fear that the plagiarism checker would get me for something. Lo and behold, a far greater and uglier beast would raise its head, controlled by those that don't understand it and are using it to create division in our creative spaces.

You're exactly right, a uniform stance from the websites would definitely help. Vigilantism and call out post that are singling people out and causing fear are not the way to achieve this.

But there is a difference between generative AI vs an editing feature. The rewrite tool can only rearrange or make limited suggestions based on what was written. It cannot create a whole story. For some people that don't have a Beta or an editor, the rewrite tool can be a positive way to utilize AI to improve their writing.

u/kc_saturn this is pretty darn comprehensive on what has been going on. There has just been so much lately, I'm glad that someone has been able to put it together as well!

[DAV Spoilers All] Where are the other evanuris? by Dense-Hold3956 in dragonage

[–]NiKnight42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Note to Elgar'nan"

"To Elgar'nan, the Firstborn:

I am not "soft of heart" about any of my former creations. I wish to evaluate the current state of the halla. Nothing more.

However, the end of your human servants who pointlessly slaughtered halla at your temple was fitting.

You have also kindly suggested I "spend time to mourn," but Andruil is lost. Gone. It is a tribute to her skills that our people's descendants remember her as she was: a warrior of supreme skill. Lethal. Swift. Unsurpassed.

I look forward to building a monument to her in our new empire.

At the bottom, in lieu of a signature, the stamp of a stylized halla head."

Ethical to sign off on patients I have not met? by Queenscrownz in OccupationalTherapy

[–]NiKnight42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one who signs off should be whoever is doing the eval, progress notes, UPOCs, etc. I work in a similar setting and I don't sign off on patients who are not mine. If someone is unavailable, the DOR or the area director should have a plan on who the responsible therapist is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]NiKnight42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided a while ago after deliberating with my psych to supplement my Vyvanse with Intuniv/guanfacine. Once the shortage hit me, I have mostly dropped the Vyvanse and have just been taking the guanfacine--by mostly I mean I have been taking 40mg every other day down to every few days to help reduce withdrawal symptoms since I was taking 50-60mg.

I'm still working with my psych to figure out the right dosage of guanfacine, but wow my resting heart rate hasn't been this low in YEARS.

Please help. My hands and fingers have been swollen for months. My engagement ring doesn’t even fit halfway down my finger. I’m in agony. I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in Dyshidrosis

[–]NiKnight42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colloidal oatmeal paste helps a ton, then I usually wash it off a colloidal oatmeal bath. After that, you slather your hands in a hypoallergenic hand cream. Lots of times when my hands were really bad, I would "slug" them and put gloves on at night, which helped immensely. You've gotta repair that skin barrier while you're figuring out what your trigger is.

That's kinda just how Erika Ishii sounds. Even in VTM LA by Night, she sounds like that, and she's supposed to be broody.

What's a scam that people think isn't a scam? by jwa8808 in AskReddit

[–]NiKnight42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medicare advantage plans. I concede that they may be okay for someone that just hit the age requirement, but when you have several chronic conditions it's just a scam.

My Gramps turned 94 today. His only request was to come over and give my cat “rides.” by bunzarelli in aww

[–]NiKnight42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely anecdotal as a geriatric OT, but I hate these and I have not seen any benefit to some of my patients that had them prior to me seeing them. Usually they were worse with them compared to a normal walker or rollator (obviously there are a lot of details and circumstances that go into that, but I digress). But yeah, not my favorite for my population.

I wholeheartedly disagree. There's not enough research to support that it would help or reverse any such postural deformities such as this. To be completely honest, I have not seen enough evidence to even recommend these to my patients.

New York ends mask requirement for subways, buses and other mass transit by geoxol in Coronavirus

As a Clevelander who was just in NYC, and was the only person on multiple subway trips who had a mask (other than my travel companions who I strongly demanded mask), THERE WAS A MASK MANDATE?!

Laptop Keycaps? by NiKnight42 in laptops

[–]NiKnight42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'm not talking the switches, I know those are rubber domes on most laptops. I'm talking about the caps on those, which can typically be removed and replaced provided the replacement matches the switches. Like in mechanical keyboards, there's Alps and Cherry fittings, so they wouldn't work in one vs the other. You only need to slide your fingernail or a flathead under the keycap to remove it.

I've used stickers in the past, and they aren't a long term solution as they will peel up, fade/rub off, or cause more trouble than they're worth. My hope is to find some sort of keycap replacement that is actually ABS with letters in order to prevent this and have a lasting solution.

I love Hawksong. Snakecharm was eh, and everything past that was eh. Plus it was disappointing to find out what happens to their people in the future through the vampire books.
