    That time I started to learn Esperanto even though I probably will never use it to cummunicate with anyone. Still interested in learning toki pona next though.

    Szechuan peppercorns. They do not contain capsaicin, but produce a vanilloid drug that opens potassium leak channels in your mouth, preferentially in the fine touch afferents. When you eat szechuan spice these neurons misfire and tell your brain that you are sensing a rapid, fluttery (50Hz) vibration.

    Also called Chinese prickly ash, these trees are not related to chili peppers or black pepper, but are instead very small citrus fruit. Fears over them introducing citrus blight led to a ban on imports to the US that was only overturned in 2005. Since then, people like me have been discovering how good they are in pasta sauce.

      That reminds me of a few years ago when I was on Vyvance. I wanted to replace the gears, chain, petals, tires, breaks and shifters on my bike. I spent two days, 10-12 hours each day working on that bike. Everything was fine tuned to the most tiny tolerances. It was so finely tuned that I only ever had to make one tiny adjustment to the rear gear shift over the past 3 years.

      During those two days I didn’t eat, drink water or take a break the entire time I was working on my bike. At the end of the day I was tired, cranky, sweating, feeling freezing cold, hungry and dehydrated. It was actually kinda awful but damn was that a hyperfocus.

      I don’t take ADHD meds anymore, changing for the world isn’t worth the insanity anymore.
