My first thought was what the hell is going down in Geogia? then I realised this isn’t about the nation in the Caucasus, but in the US, so that tracks.

I don’t think people consider both conditions to be the same spectrum as it then would define the same condition. There might be overlap within the observable behaviour but the neurology that leads to these behaviours is not the same.

Can you not output it into a text file like maybe?

Would that not imply that the incident count be lower in women? If they are getting fewer diagnosis than men makes me think that they socially adept better to not qualify, which on the other hand does not diminish their possible suffering.

This is a common misconception:

Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state.

Yeah, she certainly acts that way and we let her. Her favourite hobby is bird watching: when there’s birds near the window and she’s not around we shout “bird!” and she shoots up to the window with ears flat, eager to spy on some feathery creatures.

Started to read Southern Reach series by Jeff Vandermeer. Anyway, unrelated picture is Raisin.

May I comment on the wording I gave eye contact? Makes me feel like it is a duty, and we are expected to meet a quota of it by giving it up.

Anyway, I get these mixed feelings about praise. On one hand we wish to be seen, socially recognised and acknowledged for our accomplishments however it might come at a cost of expectations on us: it forces us to react, to speak up and adhere to other social standards. Perhaps even worse if we dealt with abusive people in the past and we cannot shake this feeling that it might not be genuine and it takes effort to parse it through our sarcasm detector.

Congrats on the sleep. What’s the story about you not sleeping?

I started to read Earthsea books by Le Guin. I’m impressed by the pacing: few pages in, the protagonist already traveled half the world. I feel it’s written more for teenagers but I don’t mind it at all. Having a blast so far.

There’s a lot of overlap in experiences of folks with different mental conditions. Whilst the root cause is different with a neurodiverse brain or mood disorders or personality disorders they might lead to similar experiences. The question becomes how much is it impacing someone’s life or how well can those behaviours stemming from these experiences be integrated. There’s also the fact that self-awareness might be picking up on those experiences better in one group compared to others.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the strength of relieve following such a task would outweigh the level of anxiety prior? At least that’s how it is for me. Happy for you that you have it scratched of your task list.

Hard to say, but if the 5V natively to the machine is shot, I’d expect the unit to not work as its systems would depend on it. I assume you measured 5V in reference to the machines GND. Double check your meter against a known good 5V supply (your adapter).

If they both are power supplied, and have ground connected then what would you need the 5V connection for? Some devices that externally supply power can come with a protection diode to prevent looping power back to prevent the scenario you described but looks like that’s not needed. You would have to know the protocol used such as baudrate, bitlength, stopbits and parity. If you don’t have that info try common baudrates (115200), 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity.
