So every "farm" in my region is actually a community plot you can rent space in or a non profit outreach...no farms to purchase from.

Try your local middle schools and libraries. Most have 3D printers these days and are likely to be a good continuous source of failed prints.

Actually I gave them two ways to eliminate the parasitic drain: replace with a working spy unit or disconnect the non working spy unit (the status quo would leave them with continuously dying batteries).

Plus, let's be real: the chances that anyone cares about any one person's location is slim to none (barring political figures, billionaires, and celebrities). If you are worried about the mass collection of people's locations, dropping one person off the Subaru map will have zero impact. Taking away a Subaru data point does not do anything about cell phone GPS, cell tower triangulation, EZ-Pass tracking, traffic cameras, or licence plate tracking (and those are just the car based tracking systems off the top of my head).

Well sure...they won't replace it unless you want them to...it's your car. But what I mean to say is that they can replace it under warranty now and if you don't replace it you will keep losing batteries. That's what happened with my 2018 Outback (I went through a battery every 3-6 months for 3 years).

They will now replace the Starlink module free of charge under a recall. Your battery will keep dying unless you either replace the module or remove the fuse that activated the thing.

You may have read that backwards. I'm on Stratera and about the other ADHD medications which are all versions of stimulants.

Stratera, also known as Atomoxetine, is a norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitor. What does that mean? Ever have that clarity of mind and focus (and calm) when there is a crisis? That's norepinephrine. It seems ADHD brains tend to absorb it quickly so while most people can stay calm and focused normally, it takes a huge crisis (and huge release of norepinephrine) for ADHDers to have that feeling. If we slow down the re-uptake then it helps us feel calm and focused.

Dosage was a bitch for a bit though: they started me on the "normal" adult dose (40mg), which left me feeling like an emotionless robot and very productive. The typical advice is to go up in dose but I asked to go down to a child's dose (10mg) which has me feeling productive, calm, and frankly great. I'm still me now, but things that would normally set me off just don't anymore. I can provide compassion and be the voice of reason, or be the firm without being mean.

Drop caffeine. Seriously, that took me from reacting like the hulk to just getting flushed in the face (in most cases...I still flew off the handle sometimes, but like less than 20% compared to before). Next step that helped then was getting a non stimulant medication for ADHD, but that may not be needed for you.

Same (and I learned this because my latest batch of pills seems to have been messed up, possibly missing the actual active ingredient)...

So my experience was with Stratera, but talk to your doctor about reducing your dose to try it out. I started on 40 mg and was completely numb. I had no desires at all even though I could get shit done (I knew what was expected of me and I did it). I hated it and when it started to wear off I broke down in tears because I did not want to live like that. I spoke to my doctor and he reduced my dose to 10 mg and that did the trick. I'm so much more in control of my emotions/impulses, I can easily task switch, my memory has gotten a lot better, and I don't have any of the weird floating through life feelings I had on 40 mg.

Sometimes just going higher is not the solution.

It surprises me that Nintendo would think enough people would pay for this, but considering the tech in it, I doubt it could sell for cheaper at a profit. What people don't realize is that there is a full on radar based health monitoring system in there that drives the price up. I expect this is a test bed for a future product that someone is trying to make back the R&D money.

I waited 7 months for my first appointment for screening, then another month for an in person assessment that took 3 hours. It's been almost 2 months since then and no response except for the $1000 bill. I'm about to call a lawyer (if I can ever get around to it...)

Tarken would have hated that. Remember the fact that the storm troopers missed so much is BECAUSE TARKEN ORDERED THE STORM TROOPERS TO MISS TO LET THE HEROS GET AWAY SO TARKIN COULD FIND THE LOCATION OF THE REBEL BASE! Leia even says so.

Yes thank you! Edited my comment to correct it.

This sort of thing is already being done with many commercial devices. See www.powercastco.com for one of the companies.

This was such a fun game! I still have my copy on Sega CD!

Yes, and honestly that's how I coped for a long time. It leads to stress and burnout and major crashing. Not a good long term solution.

Look up classic ADHD coping mechanisms. Others have mentioned some in this thread like studying with someone (body doubling) or enforcing a schedule. One big reason procrastination works is that the stress/adrenaline acts like a stimulant that is one of the normal medications for ADHD that helps you focus.

One other suggestion is to study when well rested (first or second thing in the morning). ADHD symptoms can be exacerbated by being tired.

Sooo I don't get your point. They do the same thing as Tesla does standard too?

Those are brands, not specific cars, and to my knowledge BMW is the only car that offers a level 3 option. Tesla has level 2 as standard (known as autopilot).
