  • Yeah it was a ritual

  • I remember getting yelled at for disabling call waiting before getting onto AOL...

  • Sounds about right

  • I didn't say it was? Some quick research indicates that the origins of the disease came out of observations of younger children, in which hyperactivity was a clear indicator. As time went on it was realized that other observable symptoms existed in older populations. A link between the symptoms was realized and it was determined they were in fact symptoms of the same disorder. Hence: ADHD. It turns out when doctors came up with the name it was based on the realities of the disorder and not as a slight to the people diagnosed with it.

  • Sounds about right

  • Maybe they don't have a developmental disorder, maybe they're just Canadian.

  • Sounds about right

    Jump

  • Because hyperactivity is a well documented symptom associated with the neurodevelopmental disorder?

  • Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all?

  • I've tried all 3 and found hairspray the absolute winner of bed adhesion and it's not even close.

  • Yeah its been better than the smooth one, but I long ago got into the habit of using hairspray on every print.

  • He's read, Jim!

  • Then why are his hands covered in book paste? Checkmate.

  • Fun fact

    Jump

  • I can't believe you trust that just because it was in some book. Big Library has its hooks into you.

  • TIL that in 1992, a British farmer searching for a lost hammer instead discovered the largest hoard of late Roman gold and silver coins ever found in Britain.

    Jump

  • Did he find his hammer?

  • "Favorite".

  • Nurses describe escalating tension as New York City strike continues

    Jump

  • Record setting healthcare profits, for YEARS, and they can't be bothered to pay NURSES, color me surprised.

  • What meditation/chill music do you put on to ground yourself?

    Jump

  • Don't know if it always counts as chill but Tron Legacy soundtrack, every time.

  • That makes the comic even worse IMO. Now the comparison is different illnesses result in different treatments? That's like a diabetic getting angry at the song "Spoonful of Sugar".

  • I have people I care about who are at home in their bed a lot because of medical issues, no one is bringing them flowers. I get what the comic is trying to do, truly. But analogies of things that are different are not good analogies.

  • Most of the time, sure, but doesn't that just make this an even worse analogy?

  • One is in the hospital, one is not. That is a key difference in the comparison attempting to be made.

  • Would you want to live on the Enterprise-D (regarding its shipwide AI)?

    Jump

  • I forgot to answer the first part. That's the plot of the entire episode "Measure of a Man", and they even bring up the analogy of allowing the Enterprise computer to resign from Starfleet. Data is self-aware.

  • Would you want to live on the Enterprise-D (regarding its shipwide AI)?

    Jump

  • 2 points to that, 1 it wasn't a question of "space" to house a positronic brain, no one else could create one. 2, while it could be transported one could not be replicated. Canonically some Star Trek tech was considered too advanced to be replicated. Why there was a difference between "can be transported" and "can be replicated" is a plot hole that has existed as long as Star Trek has so I don't think we need to address it here, heh.

  • Would you want to live on the Enterprise-D (regarding its shipwide AI)?

    Jump

  • Well now we have LLMs, not AI. And the Enterprise computer, advanced though it was, was also not considered a true AI. At the time of the Enterprise D I believe the only true AIs were Data, Lore, and for a brief time Lal.
