  • Turns out the laws of physics and geometry are the same everywhere.

  • By 'disrupt the current office holder' do you mean 'the people who have been pardoned were tried and convicted of crimes'?

  • It's completely wild that this is acceptable in a modern democracy. One unqualified person is allowed to summarily over rule the entire judicial apparatus on a whim or bailing out a crony. American presidents are the kings of this banana republic.

  • Notepad++ is also great for searching text strings in many documents and collating the results in a single window.

  • The situation where a candidate is rejected because they don't have relevant experience is often decided by people who don't have that experience either. The last thing I want is a job where I immediately know how to do it. That's often the reason to leave - it's boring and not a challenge any more.

    The market is probably flat right now and that's the reason there's no jobs. You have to hang in there for a bit and wait for an upturn.

  • You need to find someone you trust. There's no technology that can prevent someone disclosing data if it's their job to work with that data.

    If you treat people with respect and pay them well, you will be amazed at what they give back. Especially autistic people, they tend to have high personal integrity.

  • Makes sense from a financial point of view. I tend to do extensive research before a big purchase and wouldn't want to be changing cars too often.

    From an energy and pollution point of view it makes sense to buy quality and maintain the vehicle over a long time period.

    It's tricky at the moment because we are transitioning to electric powertrains and these vehicles are not comparable to internal combustion.

  • America still behaves like it's in the colonial era. It is the country that has been invading sovereign nations, sabotage and economic warfare. Nobody likes a bully.

  • Started with caffeine as a child and never really stopped. School was a problem and I sought solace in cannabis as a teen. Eventually cannabis became toxic to my mental health and I quit it in my twenties, and alcohol somewhat filled the void. A ten year hiatus from all substances ensued but I hated my job and went back to education to retrain and this is where I really got into it with drugs.

    Motivating long and boring tasks is ADHD kryptonite, as I'm sure many here are familiar. This particular motivational mountain was a PhD thesis and my weapons of choice were opioids, cocaine, amphetamine and benzodiazepines. Opioids are great for motivation, stimulants sharpen the concentration and benzos let me sleep. I was unaware of ADHD at this time but I knew something was wrong and that this cocktail was completely unsustainable.

    Fast forward three years and I finally learn why I seek these things, it's ADHD, duh. Now I have the correct medication and therapy I never think about drugs. I'm happy and productive, I can work on undoing forty years of pretending to be someone without an attention deficit.

  • Interesting. I've been buying mine at 3 years and keeping them until they become uneconomic to repair. My current car is 11 and it's still in great shape.

    What is the logic behind selling at 7? Are you considering increasing efficiency of new models and average maintenance burden?

  • What in the omega-n is going on over here?

  • We have to be the thing we want to see out in the world. If we want open source communities and an internet free of corporate influence then we have to do the work required to build them. It's not going to happen by magic.

  • The 4d chess version of this story. Money is the universal solvent for problems.

  • Bear in mind it's sometimes difficult to know how we feel. 30mg is a good starter dose but most people take more than that. I settled on 40mg but 50 is also okay. I decided to take the lowest dose that would alleviate the symptoms and avoid most of the side effects. There are many different drugs - methylphenidate, amphetamine, methamphetamine, dexamphetamine, dextroamphetamine, etc. Give yourself time to get used to lisdexamfetamine but try something else if it's not effective.

  • It wasn't that long ago that nobody drove cars to school. This is probably a complete non issue in places like the Netherlands. I was banned from bringing my daughter to school on a bike because they reckoned it was dangerous. The irony that cars were allowed past the gates but not bicycles was lost along the way. I kept doing it anyway because fuck cars.

  • Excuse me sir, do you have a licence and registration for that ice cream?

  • You suck

  • The democratic party per se isn't the problem.

    First past the post democracies always result in what we have now. The democratic party will completely disappear under proportional representation. In it's place you will see a proliferation of the power that is being grimly clasped by the corporate kleptocracy and their minions. Instead of 1% deciding how we manage our society, everyone gets a say.

  • Playing with children can be pretty exhausting. My daughter loved her Lego pirate ship set and had me narrating the lives of ten swashbuckling sailors on the high seas every day. I needed to be on top form or she would catch my day to day continuity errors 😅
