Comment on Calvin Takes His Pills… by Maria

I’m sorry medication made Hobbes disappear. I’m sorry Calvin lost his imagination too. I know why it’s mostly boys. It’s because they only tested boys for the first 30 years. Now that’s changing. I was diagnosed as an adult. The issue of medication is controversial. I am both a teacher and was an AuDHD student. Medication helps me. But not Ritalin. I take another kind that helps my impulse control. For 45 years of my working life, the symptoms of my condition cost me. I was misunderstood, disciplined, terminated even. But with the right medication, the right support, behavioral therapy, that has changed. I just wish I had learned earlier what it was I really needed to be successful. The years of struggle nearly cost me my life.

It’s a bit of a trip down memory lane reading about your struggles with Firefox 3.0 and that XP machine! I remember those days of manually adjusting process priorities just to keep a browser from hanging the entire system. It’s wild that the 168-pin ECC RAM was so expensive even then; legacy hardware prices always seem to defy logic once a standard starts to phase out.
I recently went through a similar optimization phase on a workstation build. I ended up installing a 1050-watt power supply https://serverorbit.com/power-supplies/network-power/1050-watt, mostly because I wanted to ensure rock-solid stability and clean network power for my components, even if it’s technically overkill for my current setup. It’s funny how we used to fight for every single megabyte of RAM on those 512MB systems, and now we’re building rigs that pull more power than a small appliance just to stay “future-proof.”
Regarding your observation on the bluebirds—it’s really discouraging to see local bird populations decline while pasture land gets paved over. Do you think the tech “bloat” you mentioned is making it intentionally harder for people to keep older, more sustainable hardware running longer?

There is a new counter-apologetic method which is successfully being used against the arguments of evangelical apologists. It is called The Ghost Buster Counter-Apologetic Technique. Google it. You may be shocked by what you learn.
