I'm an idiot.
I was trying to install #Haskell on a machine and thought the installer was taking a really long time. In my defense, the last line of text was:
Installation may take a while.It sat at this stage for over an hour while I did other stuff, because I hadn't bothered to read the previous line:
Press ENTER to proceed or ctrl-c to abort.
hlint is a great tool for pointing out where your code can be improved, but sometimes its suggestions are... interesting. Case in point, it just recommended changingmap (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -}) $ zip as bsto
zipWith (curry (\(a, b) -> {- ...stuff... -})) as bsinstead of
zipWith (\a b -> {- ...stuff... -}) as bs

Got an oscilloscope as a late birthday present. One of the features listed on the box is "firmware updates".
Why on earth would an oscilloscope need firmware updates? It's an oscilloscope.
Next up: learn how to use an oscilloscope. π

We have to order @Benny's food from the vet because he's on a prescription diet. Tried using their on-line ordering option. We ordered his food a week ago. It just arrived this morning.
We just got tracking now.
Thanks. That's helpful.

Brief outage because the new server accidentally came disconnected from power.
Everything's back up. Anxiety levels returning to normal.

Can anyone in Waterloo region recommend a place (such as a coffee shop) where one can just sit down with a book for a while? I don't mind if I have to buy a coffee or something. Just looking for a change of scenery.
There's always the library, but the nearest one to me is in a high school, and I feel weird about loitering around there.

No friend, another person who won't debate you because you're freaking exhausting and I just can't be bothered... but you keep telling yourself that.

A while ago I asked a question of the #ActuallyAutistic and #ADHD communities on my old Fosstodon account and got some pretty good feedback, so now that I'm back in my regular fedi home, I figured I'd do so again (as before, boosts welcome).
I find that when something is stressing me out, I'll obsess over it until I've either solved the problem or it overwhelms me to a point where I need to completely disengage (at least for a time). Often when this happens, loved ones will notice my distress and try to help in the form of asking questions or making suggestions. The problem is that if I'm in problem-solving mode it derails my train of thought, and if I'm in "disengage" mode it prevents me from... well, disengaging.
This frequently results in me responding in ways that are... unpleasant for all persons involved. I've identified this as a problem and am trying to find better ways of handling such situations, but it's easier said than done. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any good strategies for dealing with it?

@loose cannon I hadn't considered that, nor in fact did I realize it was a thing to consider.
The most recent example was when this server failed. It's actually what prompted me to start asking. In addition to being a fedi server, it also runs a bunch of other services I depend on: calendar, file synchronization, contacts, to-do list, etc. All stuff I use to make navigating everyday life possible. Took me four days to fix (should've taken two, but I had to keep taking mental health breaks).
This was an extreme example, but it usually happens when something disrupts my regular routine, like losing my phone or keys.
One of my pet peeves: when someone (often an advertiser) says that something is "chemical-free".
What the hell does that even mean?

Maybe the ninth time I walk into the bathroom I'll remember to put deodorant on.

Our local grocery store has a program where you can get a box of assorted discounted produce so long as you're not picky about what's in it. Katy and I had been meaning to try this out for a while, and it's been a pretty good experience so far. We're both creatures of habit, especially where food is concerned, and finding new recipes to figure out how to use the stuff we normally don't have has been rather enjoyable on the whole.
If keeping your grocery bill low is something you're trying to do, I recommend seeing if your local grocer has such a program.
