Huh. I can’t find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

New characters are resources too. The word doesn’t have to be limited to spendable currencies like “lumber and gems”.
I wear my normal earbuds but just don’t turn them on. Blocks out enough of the high pitches but I can still hear what’s going on.
I get along with Autistics better, but mainly because we cope with social situations in a similar way.
In my case, we play a lot of board games and video games. We can socialize without requiring smalltalk or eye contact. If there is no such activity planned, we don’t get together, and nobody is offended.
For sci-fi, one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.
Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.
Tetris doesn’t really have an end. It just keeps going. So this is a very specific crash where if you get far enough into the game, it can’t keep up with the player any more. You “beat” Tetris by playing so well you make the game break.
This is similar to getting pacman to crash by beating level 255 at which point incrementing the level goes past what can be stored and the data gets corrupted.
I got my PhD in engineering just fine. Had to push myself to make a few connections and meet regularly with my advisor, etc., but doing research was really well-suited to my hyper-focus tendencies.
However the opportunities I had tutoring/teaching did not appeal to me at all. I pulled it off, and I enjoyed sharing my knowledge and being the “expert” in a room full of freshman students, but I would be highly stressed all morning in anticipation, and then out of commission for the rest of the day.
So, I opted to move into industry mainly to remove the expectation of teaching regular courses and the dependency on networking to successfully claim grant funding and collaborate with other academics. (Also money)
Several autistic-spectrum friends also left academia but stayed in research in some form, and are doing really well. A couple stayed in academia. One is doing great, and the other basically destroyed his marriage due to the stress.
Probably depends a lot on the specific responsibilities of your chosen academic field as well as your individual point on the spectrum.
I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn’t show any table like you describe, and no links to the other “parts” out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!
“Living fuels” as opposed to fossil fuels?
I can’t tell, so I just assume everyone is always bored of me all the time.
Well, I’m using GitHub. I don’t know what to tell you.
I guess I would be ok sending the money on my own. But these other services have the nice feature of allowing other users to contribute to the bounty into a single pot. I.e., I can put a bounty of $20, then user b also really wants the feature and will add $5. When the PR is approved, the developer is guaranteed $25 and doesn’t have to contact user b to send their $5 or give out their financial info to X number of people.
Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?
Oh interesting. Do you know if there is a way to get Windows Explorer to support tags for files so they can be searched? I know there’s a roundabout way to do it through the properties menu for specific file types but perhaps there is a better way?
If you haven’t already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it’s grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.
“We’re Alive” was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless “books”. Available as a freebie if you have Audible.
“Impact Winter” is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.
Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It’s a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don’t need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.
How much “lower carbon” is the soybean biofuel compared to standard Diesel petroleum?
What do you mean by keeping bookmarks? You mean like recording your place in the book so you can continue where you left off? I’m not understanding the benefit of that over a normal paper bookmark?
My spouse is NT, which has been great as we complement each other.
Most of my friends are on the spectrum though, because we have a similar range of interests and tolerance for social interaction.
