@tardis I would say you don't need a diagnosis, and I speak as someone who has one.
It helped me in the work world, but no more than a note from my doctor did, and I could have just gotten the note from my doctor.
I get more help from my fellow autistics online than I ever did from my official diagnosis.
Neurodivergent peoplestic know neurodivergence & it's different for everyone. That's who I listen to now.
@tardis The real world is the one that actually exists, which is why I study the Tao.
The outside world is something they created for their own purposes. It's not the real one.
They do like to pretend. Way too much. I'm not falling for it.
Struggling with energy, per usual. I know the medical people are on it, but the time feels long when you're waiting for these things.

#CURL is my lovely gem, a masterpiece they ever created, but what do I see on their documentation pages? This:
CURLcode res = ...
if(!res) {
...
That's how they check for success, meow.
On, no. Meow! Meow! Meow!
And this does not discourage humans to write such posts

where they say common failures are:
1. Skipping the documentation!
2. Failure to check return codes

Common mistakes when using libcurl
I've been traveling this road for a while. Here's my collection of 15 of the most common mistakes and issues people will run into when writing applications and services that use libcurl.daniel.haxx.se
@bagder pets have much limited mental resources, and they are wasted to translate !res to res == CURLE_OK
At a pet's glance the latter is shouting whereas !res means something is not in the way things should go, need to dig deeper and check what's wrong. With one-day memory retention capabilities it's much harder to memorize that simply means okay
#slowember is coming
I will travel three weeks this month making me (much) slower than usual this period.
This affects my ability to do a quick patch release for #curl, so we might ship one on December 11 instead: curl.se/mail/lib-2024-11/0019.…

Prokletí při rekonstrukci. Voda. Ano, voda. Ale ono je to asi fuk, jestli jde o komín, elektřinu nebo třeba plyn. U nás je to voda.
Začalo to sprchovým koutem. Řemeslník se na sprcháč těšil, ukazoval nám fotky snad všech koupelen, co kdy dělal. Nechali jsme mu klíče od domu i od kůlny, kde byla krabice se sprchovým koutem, ať si ho, až bude potřebovat, vyndá.
Je to sprchový kout bez vaničky – přímo na podlaze. První, co nás mělo varovat, byl sklon podlahy. Na těch 80 cm činí sklon 6 cm. Inu co, nevyznáme se, asi to tak má být.
Když už byla koupelna hotová, telefon. Mám problém, povídá. Vzal totiž za bernou minci, že jsme řekli, že sprchový kout je 80 x 80 cm a blbec si to nezměřil podle reality, byť klíče i sprcháč měl. Podlahu tedy připravil na 80 x 80, ale sprcháč má reálně 77 x 77. Dveře nešly dovřít, mezi nimi fuka asi 7 cm.
Odepsali jsme sprcháč, snad se nám podaří ho někdy někomu prodat. Je prakticky nový, sice byl namontovaný, ale nepoužitý. Rozebral ho a vrátil do bedny.
Instalatéři pak o týdny později zjistili, že jim tenhle šikula při přidělávání toho sprcháče provrtal měděné trubky ve zdi s vodou k topení. Ty trubky, které pár dní před tím sám zaházel a obložil. No super. Takže rozebrat kus koupelny a opravit to.
Jedeme dál. Firma zapomněla objednat sprchovou baterii. Po urgenci jsme ještě týden čekali, aby přišla... vanová baterie. Na to už fakt sere pes, čekat znova, potřebujeme se aspoň trochu vykoupat. Tak máme vanovou baterii.
Došlo na první koupání. Ten sklopenej prostor pro sprcháč na podlaze se rychle zaplnil vodou, která se roztekla po celé koupelně. Ano, tušíte správně, odpad neodtékal.
Volal jsem tedy instalatéry a reklamoval práci. Přijeli druhý den a z trubek vytáhli ucpávku z malty a silikonu, která se do potrubí kdo ví jak dostala. No, tvl, to už snad stačí, ne?
Ne.
My děláme v metrovém koutě maximálně 2.5 cm
1 cm na metr má být
držím palce, toho kokota se zbav
Já něco podobného, se střechou na zahradě. Dohoda co udělá, za kolik, peníze na materiál dopředu.
Pak to začalo, po rozebrání střechy
- potřebuji 5k za odvoz staré střechy
- nestíhám, budu pokračovat za týden
- špatně jsem to spočítal
No, střechu (chatka 6x4m) dělal přes 3 měsíce, nikdy nedodělal vše co měl, chybí okapy, navíc ze mne vytáhl asi 20k.
Normálně jsem ho chtěl prásknout na FU
Ale už jsem to rozdýchal a to mi na záchod zatýká

Zážitky s vodou pokračují v kuchyni. Dřez. dodali ho se sifonem, nicméně my máme dřezovou skříňku z IKEA, která má šuplíky, a tudíž potřebuje speciální mělký sifon. Ale dřez dodali se standardním sifonem. Objednal jsem ten správný a čekání jsme si zkrátili montáží dřezové baterie.
Sakra, ty hadičky nejdou přišroubovat! V balení byl jiný průměr závitů v baterii a jiný na hadičkách. Reklamace. Hadičky vyměnili.
Když jsem konečně přidělal hadičky, zjistil jsem, že jsou krátké. Takže opět do obchodu a koupit prodlužovací hadičky.
Když jsem konečně přidělal hadičky na roháčky, omylem jsem otevřel kohout pro myčku a trochu si opláchl zeď, skříňku a ksicht. Pustím tedy tu správnou vodu a... teplá teče, ale studená čůrá jak starej prostatik. Sakra.
Tak rozebírám. Profouknu hadičky – čisté. Vyzkouším s kýblem, zda teče voda z roháčků – teče. Ano, opět reklamace baterie.
Do toho konečně dorazil sifon, ale průměr odpadu neseděl na průměr odpadové trubky sifonu – opět do krámu a koupit redukci.
No, nebojte, už to končí. Voda konečně teče, odpad odpaduje, jen ten sprcháč jsme zatím stále nekoupili a sprchujeme se jen tak na dlažbě a stěrkou na okna pak vždycky stáhneme nacákanou vodu.
Doufám, že až se dnes vrátím domů, nebudeme vytopení díky nějaké píčovině, která se s vodou zase stala.

Spotted while visiting numerous hardware stores in small city Aotearoa New Zealand:
A large man (60s?) in a 90s Ford Laser with an I Love Samoa bumper sticker, belting out the words to The Bangles song Eternal Flame. Expression euphoric. Chill incarnate.
A man (30s?) ambling with a young human (9?).
Young human: I thought Mum said you were supposed to go to the paint aisle not look at tools!
Dad replies wryly: I thought you were too sick for school.
Young human is sheepish: I am!
Dad: Well, the tool aisle's on the way to the paint aisle.
A very pregnant woman asks a nearby browsing woman (70s?) if she knows of any low maintenance houseplants. The other woman laughs. Says: Remembering what it was like after my kids came, I'd say fake ones! But if you want alive ones, let's see what there is.
A golden retriever trying to mind control the operators of a sausage stand in front of a hardware store. Meanwhile its human is happily chatting, impervious to all sausage related emergencies. The patient doggy martyrdom is everything.
A man stopping in his tracks in the garden section: 18 bucks for a tomato plant!
His wife keeps walking, says: Could you say it any louder?
He looks incredulous: Yeah. 18 BUCKS FOR A TOMATO PLANT!
She looks at him exasperated and then bursts into laughter at his sucked lemon expression.
Any typos spotted in this post are questing for an odd sized screw to fix a broken garden tool. This is tiring work, so if you spot them please offer them a hotdog.

One of my favorite facts about English linguistics is that there are two mechanisms of bringing foreign words into English, and the resulting words are called "loanwords" and "calques."
In a calque, the components of a foreign word or phrase are translated to make a compound word; a loanword is just used as is, as an English word.
The thing that makes this great is that "calque" is a loanword, and "loanword" is a calque.

do not take first aid advice from social media at face value, especially when bad advice could kill.
please.
if what your doctor says sounds way too simple compared to blogs from people with questionable credentials maybe ask yourself if there’s a reason why people with less skin in the game are less reserved (less careful) about what they choose to keep quiet about.
(yes i have gone on a tangent oops)
TLDR: if you give advice, people are going to run with it. blindly.
this is not a big deal if your advice is “how to pet a kitty”.
this is a big deal if your advice is “how to administer lifesaving first aid”. that advice needs to be extremely simple and limited, and should still not be taken at face value.
potentially expensive in-person training is the only safe way to fully learn some things.
