This is !ADHD@lemmy.world, I kind of figured people would join this sub after a diagnosis.

for everybody reading this who haven't tried them already:

The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.

I'm not sure how this is misogynistic. If you swap the genders of everybody involved, it would still be fun.

Let's imagine a crazy hypothetical: It's Alternate Reality 1993. Margaret Thatcher retains control of the UK government, having won the leadership election in 1990, but has become increasingly unhinged from her long rule and is now publicly proposing reabsorbing Upper and Lower Canada back into the UK and is relentlessly mocking then-Canadian-PM Kim Campbell about it.

Canada-UK relations are hopelessly soured.

And also there are incessant rumours about the Iron Lady having sexual fantasies about her son Mark.

And, in the winter of Alternate Reality 1993, ousted former-PM Kim Campbell (known political foe of Margaret Thatcher), has a public and torrid affair with Sir Mark Thatcher, making neo-imperialist Margaret Thatcher furious.

That would be hilarious.

Exactly. Which means he's free. Free to cause whatever mayhem he likes without worrying about losing an election.

Personally I'd never want to see him screw up a happy family with young kids though.

That's why he should boink Melania, not Ivanka. Also she's actually Trudeau's age.

Does anybody actually want one of these things?

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago (12 children)

No.

Trump's wife.

I've never seen the Legion Go irl but the old one looked like the touchpad was just the right size too be unobtrusive but still practical. The new one looks like a thumb print reader.

Toronto Star is now Globe and Mail, Globe and Mail is now National Post, National Post is now Toronto Sun, Toronto Sun is now Infowars, and Infowars is now The Onion.

"this hour" new year special was actually pretty good except that the Poilievre bit dragged on far too long.

Trudeau's interview was excellent, given the constraints that a PM is under.

Jujitsu with Jagmeet was fun too.

 
 
 

Well, the dryer has been disassembled and vacuumed, the dead coil removed, the new coil swapped in, ready to reassemble as soon as the new belt arrives. I was surprised how much of the brown shmutz in the heater was just ash from the coils - it dusted off quite shiny after I replaced the coil.

I'm a little worried about the visibly duller part of the heater assembly, hopefully that won't absorb too much heat - I tried to cluster the coils a bit looser there to compensate.

It's even visible on the reverse side.

Either way, I'm reassembling tomorrow when the new belt arrives.

I feel like I have a moral responsibility to attempt to repair anything before making it waste. So I'm trying my hand at the dryer. Sadly I didnt' realize that the whole tub joint pops upwards so I detached the tub from the join and then found the join comes off pretty easy anyways.

Anyhow, everything is made of garbage these days:

But I think I can replace that. But while I'm in there: any recommendations on how to lubricate the tub joint? Anything else I should be replacing while I've got it apart? I noticed the tape sealing up the exhauste has disintegrated so I figure I should replace that with a strip of aluminum duct tape.
