You're right! Damn.
Dirt cheap actually. But still I'm setting up a self hosted version. I suppose that's why we're here.
Have you tried the offline maps?
I suppose it's a bot posting this BS.
Search for Pink and Brie.
Simon's desk probably refers to a location, not actually the desk of Simon.
That's stupid, so good. How haven't I heard of this before?

I feel you, though it is not as bas for me as you described. I was lucky. My wife sat through the whole journey. She's rock solid.
Got diagnosed at age 26. (I'm 42 now) Straight on the meds. Side effects were intense but the awareness was mind boggling. I experienced focus for the first time in my life. Side effect was I was experiencing focus the whole time. Worrying was something new. A potential black hole caused by CERN in Switzerland was my main focus. I was on my way to a sabotage the whole plant. Big out bag ready and all. Fortunately my psych asked for side effects and I quit the meds for a few weeks. All settled down bit I was scared.
Then the acceptance came. I reorientated. Pushed myself through evening classes and got my master in public management. Because of the awareness I made it.
Got into a management position three years ago and thing fell apart. 6 Months ago I was on the verge of burnout and went to the doctors'. Told my story and now I'm on meds again. A low dose but it's awesome. It's the hand on the back that supports me and not the strong arm that pulls me like before.
I'm angry. At least, I used to be. Because the signs were clear and none of my teachers saw it. They are on the front line, they should've noticed. They told me I was lazy, even stupid and I believed it. I wasted a lot of years in shitty jobs but now I'm on track and functional. It took way to many years to realize how it affected my family life. As I told before. My wife is a rock.
The only thing that I wat to warn about is that the meds take away you good traits too. Make sure the dose is right. I'm creative and I don't have a box to think outside of. I had interests... Way too many so I know a lot about a lot. That is my strength. The meds mess with that part of me but when well balanced ADHD is my super power.
Take care. Love you all.
