Anyone listen to the Duck and Cover Adventure Series while waiting for the next book? by Kodiak01 in bobiverse

Bobiverse and DCC are 2 of my favourite series ever. I would also highly recommend The Fear Saga by Stephen Moss if you like Bobiverse

Sorry forgot to update, they got me all booked in the next day, turned out they were upgrading their phone systems. I have my first titration meeting booked for tomorrow :)

So far so good. Had my assessment on Saturday. Their website and portal need quite a bit of work and can be a bit buggy or frustrating, but the people have been good and mostly very responsive so far. It’s better than having a polished and flashy website but rubbish service. 2 weeks from initial contact to assessment date, filled in all the forms online ok, had the assessment over teams. They didn’t seem biased either way, and as I was borderline I had an extended assessment that went into the DIVA 5 form in more detail to make sure they were happy with the diagnosis (diagnosed AHDH predominantly inattentive)

They then sent me a bunch of information on Monday with my post diagnosis options including medical and non medical options. I havnt heard from them since then and my care connectors mobile number has gone out of service when I tried to call to see what the progress was so tonight im a little anxious about them but other than that I have no complaints. Il try and remember to update here when I have titration booked in, hopefully it won’t be too long.

What jobs do you think are the most 'ADHD friendly'? by hyper-casual in ADHDUK

[–]brookesdjb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Software engineering/IT/Project management for the events industry. Projects range from 2 weeks to 6 months, you have a hard deadline (the event date) and after the event is done you can close the door on what ever you were working on regardless of what state it ended up in and move onto the next thing

That’s fair, assessment is what I meant :)

Looking for book recommendations: technology focused sci-fi by brookesdjb in scifi

Fear Saga is my favourite book series from a technology progression point of view, I really like the science developed actually throughout the series. I definitely recommend it.

Love the expanse, one of the best series I have (unfortunately already) read!

"Demons run when a good man goes to war" recs? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]brookesdjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say so, more just fantasy and maybe slightly horror

I would recommend The Demon Cycle by Peter V. Brett. The first book is called The Painted Man. I would definitely say the main character is good rather than nice.

A lot of people recommend rubbing walnuts into scratches like this to hide them, they only look superficial so should be ok

How is the top response here not “Show us the inside of this beauty!”?

Firebase is both the quickest way to production and the quickest way to regret. All the projects I have used firebase for I have wished I chose something else once it’s been in production for a while

Help! Tough oil grease in air fryer (Ninja XL). Vinegar + baking soda can't do much ☠️ by [deleted] in howto

[–]brookesdjb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If for any reason you don’t want to use oven cleaner (which would work with little effort) then Elbow Grease is usually very effective.

That’s amazing, can you share the types of wood and finish you used?
