    The number of people in college that didn’t know Office has built-in citation management boggled me. Or how tab stops work. Or how to use fricking styles and page templates instead of setting everything manually (that one goes for PowerPoint as well).

    …then again, most of them used Google Docs. sigh

    I don’t think the ADHD necessarily gets worse, it’s more often that the consequences get worse.

    I.e. the intensity of the disorder relative to a given set of stimuli doesn’t increase, but the average significance of the stimuli (and consequently the outcome of one’s reaction to them) does increase.

    You could argue that’s a meaningless distinction, but perhaps it’s a helpful change in perspective for someone.

    From what I’ve read, it’s certainly happened. As for how frequently, the number for the last US presidential election sits somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred thousand. Reports vary, as they tend to do. 🤷 I haven’t done any serious research yet.











  • Except in very rare configurations (i.e. not 99.9% of residential), you do not want to have multiple paths to ground within a system. All grounds should go to the tied ground/neutral bus in the main breaker panel, which then goes to earth via a ground rod or a clamp to a copper gas/water line, etc. Otherwise you can have current flowing in ways that the system isn’t designed for, which at the least can trip breakers and GFCIs, and at worst exceed the rating of the wires in a short condition and cause a fire.
