  • I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out! My best friend was in a very similar boat as you last year, had all the symptoms but their GP referred them to a crappy assessor who took the word of their parents over their own symptoms. They were told they “probably just have anxiety”. They were able to find an NP who diagnosed them, and now sees a psychiatrist regularly for med updates.

    This was in the USA, which has the absolute most broken medical system in the world, so if they could figure it out I’m positive you can too :)


  • The whole idea of a “family informant” is so absolutely bogus and outdated. Why would YOU getting a diagnosis be dependent on what some other non-medical professional says? It’s an utterly broken system.

    I don’t know what country you’re in, but try and find a nurse practitioner who specializes in ADHD. Use Google and other “find a doctor” search tools. They can diagnose you using a more updated criteria that DOESN’T involve your family.





  • I know this doesn’t address your question, but I wanted to kindly nudge you in the direction of uploading both the STL and 3MF. In this case it seems like the 3MF file would avoid rasterizing the SVG and allow better upscaling of the model if someone so desires (plus, personally, I find 3mf files to just be much easier to work with, and since they’re almost universally supported now I don’t see a reason to only distribute the inferior STL version).







  • Dude if you think that someone might scrape your finger print from a random image post, recreate a physical model of it, hunt you down in real life, and steal your phone to unlock it… You probably should be seeking political asylum because you’re being hunted down by the Kremlin or a similar entity.

    My point being, unless you’re wanted by a governmental power, a photo with fingerprints is probably not a real risk. Gotta make a realistic threat model, otherwise there’s no way to tell what’s reasonable privacy considerations vs. paranoia.




  • It boils down to chemistry. The nickle-metal-hydride chemistry used in rechargeable batteries just don’t produce 1.5V (explaining why is a lot more complicated), while the alkaline chemistry in non-rechargable batteries produces slightly more volts.In the same vein, lithium-ion batteries produce around 3.6V, while lead-acid produce about 12.4V.

    To answer your other question, they should be able to power most things that aren’t an analog clock (which might run slightly slow).


  • Personally, I would not recommend diving into Linux headfirst by installing it as your only operating system. If you can afford an additional small drive (128GB should be plenty), I would suggest buying one and installing something like Linux Mint on that, while putting Windows on your main drive.

    That way, you can switch between them whenever you want to (when you turn on your computer, you can just use a menu to choose which drive to boot to), and get somewhat familiar with Linux before deciding if it’s worth your time to really dive in.

    (There’s a way to put both operating systems on the same drive, but it’s really easy for something to go wrong and end up with one of the operating systems inaccessible. Since you’re inexperienced, I would avoid going that route for the time being, and just keep both on separate drives.)




  • That’s fair, although I think that depends a lot on the type of car you drive. There’s an option to tell Maps what type of car you drive (electric, hybrid, or gas), which will change the results, because cars with regenerative breaking often get better “city” milage than “highway” milage.

    It also probably depends on factors like how aerodynamic your vehicle is, because it makes a huge difference above ~50mph (air resistance/drag increases exponentially with speed)
