Some of that is ADHD but some of it is non supportive parents. I never doubted my intelligence, or self worth. I did suck at homework and do good on tests.
Edit: tldr for the rest I no like homework and am competitive.
I failed algebra and could do most of it in my head because I just couldn't be bothered to spend the time to do the homework. I had to retake the second semester again and was sitting at 32% after a quarter, I had passing out good grades in every test but did zero homework. In order to avoid a third time I did all my homework the last quarter got at least an A if not 100% on every test and quiz and had 2nd highest grade which was over 100% it of all my teachers classes. Brought my grade up to a D + by the numbers but teacher gave me a B+.
I much preferred college math where my grade was only tests. My ex gf from highschool who later married my best friend happened to be in all my undergrad math classes. I did bad on my first trig quiz when i went back to college at 26. She talked shit to me so I got a study buddy and she never beat me on another test for trig, calculous 1 or 2.
My study partner bless his heart busted his ass for those classes and got B's. I browsed Reddit in class and studied for an hour or 2 with him and was top 3 in the class.
I was terrible at proofs in discrete math though.
And for anybody that actually read this I'm sorry for my ramblings.
I use it for specific code syntax for .net but not for the grand scheme stuff. I do wish I had it integrated in visual studio to do some of the really annoying refractors that are in a billion spots but only require a small change. I don't trust it for anything beyond what I would trust the greenest jr dev to do, and just like the jr dev it is going to mess up even the simple things so keep a close eye on it.
I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it's good for anything it's that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.
Me making my devs create a base exception for handling all exceptions that contain messages for display in the UI. Which has a parent base exception we use for all our exceptions which of course has Exception for it's parent.
I hate our codebase but I'm so close to killing off 15 year old vb.net code. If the left me alone and I had the time I spent in meetings or 20 mins between meetings everything on our roadmap for the next year would have been done 2 years ago.
I enjoy his books quite a bit. Like the other poster mentioned he develops great systems of magic. Stormlight Archives is his centerpiece for the cosmere universe which is now 1/2 complete at 5 books published.
Emperor's soul is a short story that really does of his unique take on magic systems.
When my ex's grandparents needed a new computer I got them a chrome OS all in 1.
When I started dating her in 2013 her parents were paying for AOL like $25 a month. They also had cable Internet. Saved them like $1500 on paying for AOL because they thought they needed to pay to access the email.
I'll be honest I've tried gimp and found that I'm terrible and not interested in making or editing any form of digital media. I've also tried Photoshop. Paint is more my speed fast and ugly.
Multi unit properties should be the only form of real estate investment. I'm not going to begrudge a person for holding onto there last house as a rental when they move because there is a market for single family home rentals that's reasonable.
1000 units is way to much and will just lead to subsidiaries or passthrough entities being formed to continue current practices.
Should be like 10, even that it's too much imo but I'm less worried about the small time landlords than the big corps.
As long as this is just the first step it's ok, but we need to force corporations to return inventory to the market.
Software Dev here I've typically done 90% of the steps before I call help desk to fix whatever random bullshit Microsoft or enterprise problem I'm having. Once they start down a path I'll tell them every step I've already done before they ask. So we can get to the magic step that will actually fix the problem.
