I need something like a pressure only on the left side of my sternum on just two ribs.

Could you fold over some gauze and bandage it in place as a temporary fix? The bandage could be wrapped around your body to spread the pressure on the opposite side.

It wouldn’t be a permanent fix, but could help you to fine tune where you need the pressure without having to design anything, and would hopefully provide some relief while you work on something better.

That would be great, but the waiting lists in the UK are currently several years long 🙁

I was tested by someone who came to my school when I was about eight years old because my parents were concerned. They diagnosed me as being lazy.

30+ years later and my kid is going through the same thing. The workers at the nursery are decent though, and suspect neurodiversity. A couple of appointments later and my kid gets an autism and ADHD diagnosis. My wife and I speak to them because my symptoms are so similar, and they said that from the conversations we had about my kid, they assumed that I had already been diagnosed.

I’m now 45 and still on a waiting list for an official diagnosis 😫

My apologies, you are right. I found the original post, and it’s a place in Bristol selling similar rolls. The Reddit link is here

Mine is a Stone branded Clevo, a Stonebook Pro p11b, but as you say, there are others out there. I bought mine refurbished for about £150 and upgraded the SSD and RAM.

Ah, ok. I thought it was just for generating from scratch. I’ll give it a try, thanks :)

A pinch of salt and that would be lovely 😁

EDIT: I got it wrong sorry. There was a post on Reddit with similar looking rolls from Bristol.


The photo was posted to Reddit at least a year ago, and was apparently from an English pub that wanted to sell ‘real’ pub snacks again. The roll cost something like £1.50, where most snacks like this go for around £5 or more.

There was a big discussion on the landlord’s chopping skills, but he claimed that it was really popular 👍

On a side note, I’d really enjoy that roll, as long as it’s got a bit of butter so it’s not too dry 🙂

I’ve got a Clevo laptop that covers most of your list. Mine’s a bit older, a 7th gen i5, but was very cheap, and easy to upgrade. If the newer models are built the same way, it’s what I’m going to go for when I eventually upgrade 👍
