Robin Williams had a degenerative neurological disorder and didn't want to live through the decline. Common misconception as media speculation was "funny man sad" long before the family shared any details.

CLR is a cleaning product most popular as a spray. Yellow bottle. It's really effective, and significantly safer than most harsh cleaning products.

Wet & Forget can be great for a lot of tile or glass showers, but it does seem overpriced.

You can also get little cleaning pods that hang into the toilet bowl to prevent build-up from happening.

Avoid the tablets that go in the toilet tank. They can do real damage to your plumbing and it's not worth it.

Last advice is only helpful if you own your home, but upgrade your exhaust fan. The humidity can cause dust and such to buildup faster.

Shows like that are still happening.

The real issue is that instead of 5-15 channels, there are dozens-hundreds, plus a dozen streaming service, and intellectual property is constantly pinging back and forth between them all.

No media has a reliable "home" you can consistently access it from. And when it does you still run into the discoverability issue. So many shows are made that you can't reasonably scroll through all of them, so personal recommendations and algorithms ultimately dictate what we find.

If you want unusual and stand-out sci-fi then I'd recommend Twin Peaks: The Return, assuming you've seen Twin Peaks.

Also the show "Dark" on Netflix is incredible.

I still have a cue of newer stuff I haven't gotten to because there's so much to try.

I think what we've really lost is the social element. When FAR fewer things were on, and everyone had to "tune in" to see new episodes, it meant a ton more people would be watching the same thing at the same time.

Now the default has become everything on demand, and released in full seasons at a time. "Dark" is actually from several years ago, but became big in the US just a few years ago, and I just found it last year.

The viewing and Fandom experiences are just more fragmented and scattered now.

This article is absolutely trash. The study it links to makes much more sense.

This article at one point says that more research is needed in understanding causes of ADHD and that's objectively ridiculous. There's an incredible volume of long-standing research and even know sets of genetic markers on record.

I second this option for cheap 1-time purchase that is fantastic to use!

I've only done a little time as a DM, but myself and all of my players were diversly nuerodivergent.

Some of them just did not have a performative bone in their body and I considered making or buying some kind of button that simply lights up while holding it down, as a visual indicator that they're speaking as their character.

Probably not for everyone, but seemed helpful to a couple of people.

Because it got popular when it was it's own independent company, and THEN Facebook bought it.

And that purchase happened in 2012, well before Cambridge Anylitica broke as a story.

It's more that people saw no reason to leave, and by the time there were good reasons, Instagram was too large and established to easily dump for most people.

My girlfriend and I both have ADHD, but meditation has always been easy for me, especially at night.

You don't have to do anything special, it can be while your in bed before sleep, for some people it's just helpful to create a ritual or activity around it to occupy the part of your brain that's liable to fixate on stress.

I've tried sitting with her for a guided meditation app she likes, but it makes it harder for me. Sometimes I feel like Ron Swanson talking outside the meditation class. "I have no idea what these guys are doing, my mind was completely blank"

A UK clinic designed for treating video game addiction, originally expected to help just 50 people a year, has had more than 850 referrals since its inception in 2020.

850 game addicts across 2-3 years is pretty small potatoes. Wonder how many alcoholics and gambling addicts there are in that area.
