    Interesting; I was in hospital last year, opioid pain relief doesn’t work for me. They tried a few times at increasing dosages and it just does nothing.

    Paracetamol works well, they tried ketamine and I told them to stop because it made me feel terrible.




  • In the compsci building at uni, there is a museum of sorts in the hall to the labs. At the beginning of the storage section, there is a 20Mb storage device. It is the size of a washing machine, I have no idea how much it weighs, but it has to be in the 100’s of kg range.

    Sitting on top are much more modern devices, 5.25"/3.5"/2.5" drives; I haven’t been back for a decade to know if they kept going as tech improved.



  • I have multi-sensory aphantasia. No pictures/sounds/tastes/touch/smell. My inner voice is soundless but constant.

    I discovered aphantasia at 40; it is not a lack or detriment merely a difference. I talked with my Mum about it, she is has aphantasia and didn’t realise and she is 66.

    Aphantasia doesn’t hold you back or make life harder; especially since you can go decades without realising that you have it.

    You may have other stuff, ASD or ADHD etc…but aphantaisa isn’t in the same realm.

    We tried a lot of techniques…

    Rigid schedules, no schedules , big feeds, lots of little feeds…nothing seemed to work. For one kid, he wouldn’t sleep unless he was next to one of us; one of the others wanted to be in the same room but not the same bed…

    But once they hit ~3 it was like a switch flipped, and now they all sleep with no issues.
