Dead Man Switch

 Pretty sure you can roll this digital survival kit using other means or platforms, but this week I found a neat one for anyone with Bitwarden https://github.com/djasonpenney/bitwarden_reddit/blob/main/emergency_kit.md . It describes how to set up and use a dead man switch which is what happens when you have a memory lapse or even better (or worse) , that you terminate. Then at least your family will be able to access not just your finances and accounts, but also any digital assets.

where to start

(Stantead feeling nervous) The altitude is roughly 37,200 feet, and the engines have lowered their pitch now. It's ages since I felt that immense power of take off, that deep throat roar. Jet engines are marvelous. (I got to start one once). I just don't travel nor fly much lately, I'm quite low carbon. So now that we are almost half-way to a long weekend in Prague, I am starting to relax a bit. I have always hated border controls and flying. Although if I think for a minute, flying I love, but airport security I hate. And yes, being bored on a plane is exactly the right time to start yet another blog. I really hope I can keep this one going. (Enough time to imagine the worst) When your brain always thinks the worst, your life sux for any kind of travel. I got stopped by security again this time, this seems to happen almost half of the plane journeys I take. Finally worked out why I get singled out, border controls make me nervous, which makes you st...

The Great ADHD Myth?

Image
 As broadcast on Channel 4 on Tuesday 18 August. Is a "mocumentary".  This is my appeal to offcom. With keen interest I watched this informative program run with "documentary" status attached to it only to find that it was completely unscientific. I want to ensure Channel4 cannot in future class programs as documentary when they substantially lack scientific evidence or process. We run the risk of watering down all science when we let programs be classified in this way. To go further, the programme pushes 2 conspiracy theories instead. The first that "big pharma" are making money from over diagnosing ADHD and in fact ANY and ALL mental illnesses.  The second conspiracy theory it pushes is around the need to overhaul our schools. The title of the programme as material is only lightly covered, and includes almost no facts about what ADHD is. For science, it substituted a cruel Hawthrone-effect biased experiment on a young boy and his brother as a single evid...

encourage always

Ropes, cannot build or hold anything at all up on their own When it comes to mental health, you need encouragement, something that helps us keep balance between the things that are dragging us down. We need things that lift us up to balance those out. Encouragement will most often come from friends, as it turns out. But if you have mental health issues, you tend to have very few friends anyway. The neuro-divergent have unlucky habits of destroying friendships just through our seemingly uncaring ways that our brains operate as they hop about. That's overload, just unable to even look after the brain's own owner even.  Quite often, if you're married, like, I am, so I'm lucky enough to have somebody who does support me, and everyone needs an encourager. Some time ago I had somebody thank me. Give me a one of those really good "Thank yous" for encouraging them. And I'm like, oh yeah, and it really made me feel good, and I understood then because I hadn't a...
