    I’m a loser and made my own. I ran out of q-tips, so it’s not perfect, but damn close.

          quite different, actually… it’s amazing what a slightly different chemical can do pharmacologically…
          even an isomer of the same chemical can be completely different… you can buy Levo-methamphetamine at CVS right now as a nasal decongestant… dextro-methamphetamine is what’s illegal….

      I routinely go into Creative mode and wire/route the “perfect” ME controller every few months. It’s a fun puzzle to minimize the number of colors required.

        I guess I’m nasty at heart. I just make a phat square, cover it in decorative blocks, and double the inside as drive storage/autocrafter manufacturing. Of course I play too much PO3.

            I’m gonna attempt that video the other commentor linked. I’m gonna attempt it in PO3. I dont think I can shrink down so I’ll have to build it different. Going for a realistic floating island as my home in the skyblock this time around. Its really hard making landscapes by hand.

    Yes, but that top layer isn’t square. There’s one more row towards the top left. Some Qs need to be removed or added to bring balance to the qube.

    Caffeine doesn’t do much for me, in fact it often seems to make me sleepy

      An atypical response to caffeine is one of the most consistent markers of ADHD I’ve seen in the wild. I’ve yet to meet someone who has it and didn’t have some level of ADHD symptoms as well.

          True. I tend to hang out with a lot of high functioning weirdos. We worked out that about half of us either were diagnosed with various neurodiversities, or reasonably could be. Several got diagnosed, after the caffeine point.

          Unfortunately, high functioning ADHD diagnosis can be VERY hit and miss. My diagnosis was apparently fairly blatant. A friend, with very similar experiences and issues, got the opposite end of the deal. Since he could hold down a job, he obviously had no issues. A depressing chunk is down to the personal opinion of the assessor.

      If I drink A LOT of caffeine it will keep me awake, but in a groggy rapid heart beat kind of way.

      Caffeine doesn’t do much for me, unless I have taken my Elvanse. Then it can be like I am too focused to actually focus on things.

      I struggle with falling asleep and it gets worse with caffein. So I never drink a lot of it after 16:00

        Inner ear is off limits. Can still be useful for the outer ear. For most people, cleaning the outer ear will let the inner ear take care of itself.

          You will compact your earwax and it will get steadily more and more blocked up. Don’t ask me how I know this.

              If it’s too deep for your finger, it’s too deep for qtips. Don’t use qtips.

              They also irritate the skin in a way that your finger doesn’t.

              If you have gunk that’s not coming out with your finger, pippette small quantities of olive oil in, leave it there for a bit and tip it back out into some kitchen roll. Repeat once or twice a day for a week or longer if necessary.

              MUCH, MUCH easier than that is DON’T compact the ear wax by using qtips in your ear.

              You think you’re scooping stuff out, and it feels so good, but you’re compacting it on the way in and irritating the skin on the twist, promoting more ear wax. You’ll think you have some hearing loss from noise, but it’ll be the compacted ear wax because you didn’t listen to the advice everyone gave you to not use qtips. Use your finger, but don’t use qtips.

      This post inspired me to make my own. I started by laying 10 q-tips on the table, then another layer of 10 perpendicular, and kept going until I had 10 layers of each. In hind sight, I recommend doing 9x9, because the next step was to poke q-tips through the grid vertically, and that pushed the other layers around and some fell off. Once you have the 9x9x9 cube, you can fill in the edges to get 10x10x10. Note that the final cube will actually be a few short of exactly 10x10x10 due to the way the shapes hold together.

      HAHA! I was just trying to explain this to my wife. I was like

      “Okay, yes, it DOES help you get stuff done but it’s kinda like casting magic…You need the right intention and materials in front of you, or else it backfires and you end up focusing super hard on the first silly, likely useless thing that grabs your attention, and forget time is still moving…”

        Me, too, but I for sure need to be trying to do the thing I want to do when it kicks in, or I’ll find myself doing something ridiculous because I can.
