Except the reason for that USB-C transition was due to the EU regulation forcing manufacturers (looking at you, Apple) to all use a common connection standard, precisely so people wouldn't be forced to buy new & chuck old cables/adaptors with each new device, in order to reduce electronics waste

Well now you've made me think about Field of Dreams again I'm just going to have to watch it

Technically not since the 17th century after the fens were drained, according to Wikipedia

It's on Portsea island in Hampshire, but the city basically takes up the whole island. The gap between the mainland and the island is only maybe 100ft at its narrowest.

Wait until you find out Portsmouth *is* on an island

Yes, such a sweet moment! Even if I half suspect Alan was exaggerating his torment so they didn't completely hate him 😅

I don't know, I think Nick just second guessed himself one too many times. I can see how he might have suspected Joe, but he was so *certain* about Alan being a Traitor, why then choose to end the game with Alan still in?!

I'm so disappointed in Nick 😭

They're tory donors and Jonathan Warburton backed Brexit, so anything that hurts their profits is fine by me

You're so brave ❤️

You're welcome! 😊

I'd like to think so, but this is my constituency and I've just searched the 2 biggest local fb groups with 17k & 20k members and there's nothing about it in either of them. Never forget the bubbles we create for ourselves.

Yeah makes sense. Tbh I can only really speak about the affects of HRT for peri-menopause whilst having ADHD. Not sure about the impact of oestrogen-based HRT for GAC and the different biology that might be involved with production of dopamine.
October 29, 2025 at 12:23 AM
I don't know for sure if oestrogen would increase dopamine production in an AMAB body/brain (hope I've described that appropriately), but I suppose in theory it would. Might be worth researching or checking with your doctor. Either way I'm happy for you 🏳️‍⚧️

I frequently wear my Nirvana hoodie and I'm quite disappointed that so far no-one has tried to challenge me on it so I can whip out my knowledge
October 28, 2025 at 8:12 PM
Honestly, I have ADHD meds prescribed but increasing my HRT dosage has helped massively to control my ADHD symptoms as well. Highly recommend!
October 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Oestrogen helps to produce dopamine. Low oestrogen = low dopamine levels which creates a subconscious desire to increase them, often resulting in impulsive and risky behaviour. This is especially pronounced in people with ADHD.

HRT is marvellous.

Sounds like what 95% of the working population would say about the jobs they've ended up in tbf

That's because LLMs don't give you the answer, they really only tell you what an answer to your question *might sound like*
