Points system

Has anyone worked out how the points for each word (main ones, not the bonus ones) are scored? All I can see is it's not linear.

4 letters seems to be 5 points

5 letters seems to be 8 points

6 is 12 points.

But maybe different words of the same length give different points?

Not for any scoreboard reasons, I'm just interested.

Chance of improvement of worsening symptoms with higher dose?

Hi all, I have a question about negative effects

Recently started lisdex/vynase (methylphenidate really made things worse), at 20mg I found focus/phone scrolling worse, verbal dumping and really not feeling grounded/calm at any point. Had a coffee on one of the days and fucking hell it was a lot to deal with 😅. Also have dryer mouth but I can just drink more.

I've just gone to 30mg after 2 weeks. Gonna be on it 2 weeks before seeing psychiatrist again

Question: I heard that sometimes things improve after getting to the 'right' dose? Am I just making that up? Or will it likely just get worse.

I think those with autism too might do better on non-stimulamts?

Obvs I'll just chat to psychiatrist but I wondered if anyone had any experience with things

Hi FIRE-ers(-ees?)

Sorry if this is an ignorant question.

Context: Early in my FIRE journey - single-income doctor, age 36, will probs be nhs consultant by 2038-2040. I am due to re-mortgage and also looking to renew my lease next year so my monthly payments are about to go up a few hundred (on 1.8% atm) 😬

I'm currently investing only £200/month in S&S for the last few years plus those high-interest 1 year online savings accounts, and have looked at the info about budgeting to try and increase my savings.

But, despite reading this a few times, I'm not sure I get the point of overpaying a mortgage rather than investing if the current interest rate is high, like 4-5%+. Surely as the interest rate will change every time you remortgage, I would have thought it isn't really worth it in the long-term compared to investing? Apart from being near LTV thresholds, or already met your tax-free ISA allowance.

Am I missing some maths reasoning here?

(I know there's the psychological benefit of paying the mortgage off early but I'm not bothered about that)
