   @courtcan @ZenHeathen I heard those tvs. No one would believe me until I go stay on the other end of the house and tell them if it's off or on

     Analog TVs put off a high-pitched whine that apparently only dogs and I can hear. German analog TVs have a louder whine than American ones. When I lived in Germany as a kid, I could walk into a house and tell you if the TV was on even if the TV wasn't in my line of sight and the volume was muted.

     My parents have a grandfather clock that used to keep me awake at night all the way on the other side of the house with my bedroom door shut.

     Folks with #ADHD:

     Do you find you can be extremely aware of tiny signals (i.e. "the dishwasher doesn't sound quite right", "I wonder if she's recently pregnant, her walk has changed"), but oblivious to social cues which depend on tiny signals (i.e. "is she flirting with me, or just more friendly than average?")?

     Wondering if it's me, or an ADHD thing.
