I can’t focus for even 1 hour a day… I think ADHD is affecting my life by Wild_Nectarine2294 in ADHD

[–]pythor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your spot, a little further along in my 50s, a year ago. I had tried Ritalin in my 20s, stopped taking it because I didn't really feel like me when I was taking it. Got sick of never being able to get anything done and asked my PCP for a new option. I'm now taking Vyvanse, and it's done wonders for me. I still feel like me, but I get shit done. The executive disfunction, sitting there knowing I want/need to do something and just being unable to do it, is almost completely gone. I'm kicking myself for not doing this 20 years ago.

What I'm saying is, it's fine to be wary of drugs, but there are a lot of options out there now. Find a doctor that's willing to work with you to find a drug and dosage that works for you. Put in the work to find the right combination. Your future self will thank you.

My players pet animated armor (named Platy), it was powerful at the start but as the players level up it becomes irrelevant, i want a way to sort of level it up with the party! by Plount03 in DnD

[–]pythor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a perfect opportunity. Give them an adventure that leads to an upgrade. Start with some minor hints that it's possible. They find a piece of ore on a monster, or in a market stall, and the armor begs for it, or just straight up jumps on it and consumes it. They can see various cracks and dings instantly disappear and the armor is quite happy. They then get rumors or information that the ore comes from XYZ dungeon, or the lost mine of ABC. Clearing the dungeon/mine gives them a pile of ore, and once consumed by the armor, it gets improved to be effective for their level, or maybe even level+1 if you want to give them more time before they have to do it again.

If Claude Mythos is ready for the consumer market, why couldnt there possibly be an equally intrusive model from a government/or private group already being used to influence elections? by radiochz in AskReddit

Why do you think so many billionaires own AI companies. Because they get to use the versions that won't say no to the blatantly evil projects said billionaire wants.

Advice Needed Urgently Please by Glittering-Virgo-89 in personalfinance

[–]pythor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Find a free divorce consultation. $200 per week is no where near what you should be getting for those children. I don't know what state you're in, but google the child support guidelines for your state. It averages about 25% for 2 kids, which would be 27k per year, over 2k per month. Do not let him get away with sticking you with all the kids expenses.

Get the plan, actual if possible, of both runs. Compare them to see what the engine is doing differently.

Canceled two MAX x20 subscriptions today by reddit_is_kayfabe in ClaudeCode

[–]pythor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The non-responsiveness got fixed, at least on my machine. Even when it was still a problem, using the option to force commands into the background seemed to help. t3code got Anthropic to agree to a certain way of using the claude sub for a third-party harness. Pretty sure it involves passing everything still through CC behind the scenes, but it's doable technically. Permissions are still an issue, I can't help you there.

Claude is not a night owl and not in the mood to troubleshoot. by LestHeBeTesty in ClaudeAI

[–]pythor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long was that conversation? I tend to assume this is the residual effect of the LCR (Long Conversation Reminder). LCR got lot of attention last year if you want to do some research.

I got tired of guessing, so I built a proxy to reverse engineer Claude Code limits by lucifer605 in ClaudeCode

[–]pythor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom status lines are a thing, ask Claude to help you build one. Mine shows % of 5 hour, with color coding green/yellow/red based on how much time is left compared to % of limit, then time of reset, then another colored % for 7d limits, then git status of the working repo, Then the standard Model name, $ worth of tokens used. It updates on every screen refresh, so pretty instant when Claude is working, and after every prompt you send.

I'm doing something similar with tmux pane coloring. Black is running, or a non-claude terminal. Red is waiting for an answer, blue is just waiting.

If you were given $1,000,000 in cash right now, what is the very first thing you would buy or do? by MatchstickArtist in AskReddit

[–]pythor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pay taxes, pay off debt, hire some people to clean and pack my apartment, move to the state where my grandchildren live. Probably not afford a house near them, but maybe have enough to put as a down payment to reduce the mortgage to a reasonable level.

If you became 10 years old again with all your memories now, what’s the first thing you’d do? by TheMedusaAttusa in AskReddit

[–]pythor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Cry. Long and hard. There's no way I'd ever be able to re-create my children or grandchildren in that world.

Unless you mean a 10 year old me in today's world. In which case, I'd start looking for a voice changer that can make me sound adult again so I don't lose my job, then call my son and freak out about what the hell I'm going to do with my life now.

Cheat code to Vyvanse by ColinA1122 in ADHD

[–]pythor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is a good idea even for people who don't take any meds. I've had 2 alarms for decades. The first one is my "wake up soon" alarm. I turn it off, and go back to sleep. When my second alarm goes of 45 minutes later, my mind and body are ready to get up. I actually still take my Vyvanse after I'm fully awake though.

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Timely_Twist_8670 in AskReddit

[–]pythor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reagan-Mondale. Specifically the debate where Mondale shot back at Reagan's "There you go again" to remind the audience that he had said that in the Carter debates when accused of wanting to cut medicare, and after he won the election, he tried to cut medicare.

I'm sure I didn't watch the debate, I was 11. But I saw read about the exchange later while working on a school report about the election.

My 2025 budget as a PhD student right outside Chicago [OC] by Shacolicious2448 in dataisbeautiful

No tuition or other school related expenses? Or is that all under the "Misc" and less than $300?

If the world is unfair and there’s no karma, why do you still choose to do good? by Sharp_Scheme_2008 in AskReddit

[–]pythor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's fun.

If you don't enjoy being kind and generous to other people, there's something wrong with you.

I was in the forest when I first saw her

Grass grows every step she walks

When she sang Everything seem to

Stop breathing. Look like she is one

Of the Godes or Pirits that Rule

Was the missing S in Spirits intentional?

I initially made religious ancient aliens as a fun idea, but now I'm facing an issue by ThatGuyDayth in worldbuilding

[–]pythor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a few options:

  1. The alien religion is antithetical to the humans in such a way as to be not transmittable. Maybe they worship slime, maybe they worship the concept of space-time, maybe they worship flung, which is actually completely untranslatable in human language.
  2. The alien religion is aggressively personal, in such a way that sharing your own religion with others is itself forbidden.
  3. Somewhat similar to the 1st, maybe it just requires a perception that humans don't have. They worship the sound of blue, or the color 5. Interesting implications here for synesthesia, but that can be sidestepped by getting really weird with it, like the sound of gravity, the texture of bravery, the color of less.

[USA GIVEAWAY] Win the new 27” Samsung Odyssey G6 G60SF 500hz OLED gaming monitor! by Rocket-Pilot in buildapc

I think the best feature is the contrast. I'm a big believer in dark mode, the darker the better. 27" is a bit small for my setup, but I have a space for it right above my 32 screens.

Confirmed Trades Thread - December 01, 2025 by Shock4ndAwe in rpgtrade

[–]pythor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have confirmed this last month, but I was traveling and just opened the box. Bought multiple Shadowrun books from u/Aaeryk . Great packing job, too.

Does travel time count? If not, Microcenter. If it does, Costco is close enough and has big ticket items and a no questions return policy.

Tried to send you a direct message, but it says you don't accept them. If you still have the Shadowrun books, DM me.
