Considering that Norway has a population of only 5.5 million, it has a lot of hydroelectric plants. Many than Sweden, which has a population of 10.5 million. The reason is geography and climate. Lots of mountains and lots of rain. And there are no nuclear power plants.

What to do if you're 40 and you've realised you can't stand office work at all because you have #ADHD, but the only job experience you have is 13 years of being a software engineer?
Add to that the constraint that you can't go to school to re-educate yourself because school is just office work you don't get paid for?
What kind of job can you even get in that situation? I've been thinking about that for 4 years now and I don't have any good answers for that. 🤷‍♂️

The cost of running a Mastodon instance:
1 TB of storage (an outrageous amount of storage if you ask me) is what you need for 35 active users, and it'll cost you €14/mo at Scaleway (European cloud provider). On top of that comes €38/mo for the web server, counting in at €52/mo.
Can you imagine how expensive it gets for a popular instance?

There's so much overlap between the two that it's questionable to me if they're even separate at all. Both affect the prefrontal cortex and the dopamine reward circuits in similar ways. And the same drugs are often used for both. And #depression or #bipolar is a common side effect of #ADHD.

The part of me that doesn't want to do it has this idée fixe that it could do something great with its life, intellectually or artistically. "Could" though. I mostly do nothing, and no one cares. I have little to show for those ambitions.
The program would be the realistic option of turning a nobody into a somebody. It's a trajectory.
