I’ve been getting into Avowed and having more fun than I expected. The dialogue is a bit bland though so I’m glad you can speed read and skip.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What skill did you learn that was not worth the effort?byCouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.netEnglish
9 daysI believe for even a third-class medical a pilot needs to be off ADHD medication for over 4 years, with additional screening/testing involved if they have been prescribed. My knowledge is limited since I have never been prescribed such meds and only realized I have some level of ADHD due to my son getting a diagnosis. He only took the meds for a year or two in elementary school before he opted to stop due to side effects and his brain overcoming that developmental hurdle.
It sounds terrible, but my advice would be that unless your ADHD is severe enough to demand medication you should never ever tell an Aviation Medical Examiner or standard doctor about ADHD suspicions if flying is something you want to do. I could technically still go fly if I found the time, and have never felt I was distracted given the degree that flying a plane engages all parts of your brain.
There is a dark side to this way of thinking though, as any sort of deviation from the norm with mental health or cognitive performance is often pushed under the rug instead of being treated due to fear of losing livelihood. A tragic example was Germanwings Flight 9525.

9 daysAt least you didn’t go all the way through Instrument rating and Commercial license, only to realize ADHD was a thing and also not treatable while maintaining a medical.
I was already working in tech so the backup plan is chugging along fine; but goddamn the student loans…

1 monthPerhaps they are selling Trump memoriabilia at his famously not-bargain prices. They could even add one of those crypto ATMs but it only sells Trumpcoin.




I suspect you had a similar fun endeavor as me, where a media server with GPU passed through to a VM in Proxmox is also used as a gaming desktop. Admittedly I don’t use it often, so fiddling with it is almost as rewarding as using it when it works.
