I don’t see the humble brag. If that’s what ADHD has been for you, why shouldn’t you be allowed to share it? But I’ve been in the exact same situation, so I might be biased. 😋

On the bright side, you’ve now got squeaky clean disk space to fill with new projects!

Musk maintains that camera-only technology is the most “human” way to approach self-driving, since people use their eyes to navigate the road.

A few years ago I was driving on the motorway, came up on a bend in the road and was greeted by a dense freak fog bank out of nowhere. I immediately let go of the accelerator to reduce speed, at the same time my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and a collision alert started blaring. That gave me enough time to apply the brakes and prevent a collision with the first and only traffic jam I’ve ever seen there.

I see no reason to not augment our own capabilities with radar and lidar, to see what we as humans can’t.

Oh well, I wouldn’t have been welcome anyway, seeing I’ve had the audacity to be critical of Israeli genocide defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.

Guess I’ll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.

And don’t forget the US will again get to decide to arbitrarily discard any nuclear agreements, which is of course another great incentive for Iran to not start a military nuclear program.

I’d very much like to, but so far I haven’t found anything which beats Google’s free Non-profit plan. Our small association uses that, which basically gives access to everything Google has to offer: amongst others e-mail under your own domain, shared storage through Drive, a workable office suite, access to Google Meet and all that with central user management.

As crappy as Google may be, when money is an issue that’s a deal that’s hard to ignore. 😞

Can Determined Exterminators become vassals? I thought they didn’t do stuff like diplomacy with anything but their own kind?

Can’t he just nuke the thunderstorm?

Imagine you’re a GitHub employee tasked with leaving a nice message for the 1 billionth repo. Seeing that counter tick towards that joyful moment, anticipation builds.

What would it be? The next Linux display manager? Something as impactful as Docker or Kubernetes? The early beginnings of a radical new OS?

Nope, it turns out to be shit. 💩

Fuck it, I don’t seem to have AD(H)D. That’s why I’ve spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can’t fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I’m so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

Onscreen instructions unclear, pressed Shift+6+X. Still stuck in Nano.

… but that woodwork needs to be done. 😞

But I… am not sure how circumcision would prevent anyone from touching himself, so I am highly sceptical of that claim.

The idea was, if I’m not mistaken, that without foreskin sensitivity & pleasure decreases. So that way there is less ‘risk’ of boys engaging in sexual activities, other than for reproductive purposes.

From what I understand it’s also still the standard in the US. Originally popularised because it would keep boys from fondling themselves which, of course, would make Sky Daddy angry.

But if that’s not the case, I’d happily stand corrected by someone more knowledgeable on this topic.

Yeah, that’s how it usually goes when I go to the GP. Can’t express myself, mind goes blank or gets tangled in what I want to say. For my ‘I think I might have ADHD’ talk I also wrote down everything on notes, condensed them to a checklist and just worked through that. Really helped in getting a coherent story across.

That’s rough, sorry to hear that. I only got diagnosed in my late 30’s, ever since high school I felt like something about me was off.

Daydreaming? “Well, you’ve got an IQ of 135, so you are just bored.”

Incapable of starting homework? “Completely normal, you are just bored, try harder.”

At some point I convinced myself I was just lazy, it was only when I hit a roadblock professionally I was finally able to convince a doctor that this could not go on any longer.

It sucks knowing something is wrong, but having to fight to get taken seriously. I hope you are able to find the help you need soon.

Made me (diagnosed with ADHD-I) chuckle, that could definitely be me. Usually one of these:

• Forget the appointment altogether.
• Remember appointment, be unable to do anything beforehand, find something to distract me of that impending appointment dread, forget the appointment that initially took up my entire attention span.

Officially it’s ADHD-I (inattentive), ADHD-H (hyperactive) and ADHD-C (combined).

But over here even specialists still often just call it ADD. It’s less of a mouthful and more well-known. Personally I also use ADD, as it often saves the hassle of having to explain I’m usually not hyperactive.

From what I read that actually wasn’t true , at least not for the ‘you wouldn’t steal a car’ (or more officially: ‘Piracy. It’s a crime.’) clip.

I’m so glad crap like that isn’t valid in the EU.
