ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The ADHD urge to lie about why you didn't do something because "my brain refused to start on it" doesn't make sense to a lot of neurotypicals.English
5·2 years agoDepending on how old your kid is, it might or it might not improve. The frontal lobe of their brain still has a lot of development left in children; right up until they’re about 25. This may improve things.
Also, please don’t be one of those parents who discounts meds. They can really help a lot. And no, they’re not addictive (in fact, people with ADHD are more likely to forget them than to use them recreationally).

6·2 years agoWhat’s helped me is a combination of physical exercise (which helps against feelings of unrest that may be bothering me) and sort of sliding into the subject, tackling the easier parts first and from there riding the dopamine wave.
But yeah, it doesn’t get any easier.
What river? Asking for a friend…
“Password cannot contain username”
“Password must contain digits”
“Password cannot contain reversed misspellings of predynastic Egyptian pharaohs”
And now…
“Password cannot contain JavaScript”
One thing about the pre-Internet times I don’t hear much about is how much more centralised our media were and how, as a result, people or ideas on the fringe of society didn’t get much attention. That includes for instance how the strange ideas about vaccines or ethnic groups now spread much easier than they did before the Internet, but also how trans* people and other marginalised groups find it much easier to find and support each other and be a united front against oppression.
In summary, I don’t thing that what has been termed “the great awokening”, nor the organised opposition against it, could have taken place before the Internet. At least not at this scale.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994English
12·2 years agoSadly Microsoft didn’t specify where on the keyboard the key has to be.
In order to find out, hit the keyboard with your head; wherever your forehead touches the keyboard first is where the key is supposed to be.
I have a similar-sized roll of 0.5mm Felder Sn100Ni+ with their ultra clear flux. Love the shinyness.
Indeed, don’t skimp on solder, especially when soldering lead-free.
Yeah, I deserve that. I’m just gonna leave my typo. Thanks for the laugh!

FYFY
The tweet wasn’t easily available on nitter (it wasn’t being highlighted).
It just so happened to be the canonical source for this piece of information. And it wasn’t being run by an antisemite at the time the linked tweet was being written.
Exactly. The good kind of failure.
Hyperloop was always a project to sabotage high-speed rail. Good thing it failed.

World News@lemmy.world•Some Mexican pharmacies are selling full bottles of Adderall. But it's actually meth.English
8·2 years agoThat sounds like uncontrolled dosages of Desoxyn.

I have a dad joke, but it’s yo momma.
If there’s water between the membranes an alternative is to wait a long time for it to dry out (months).











Having multiple sufficiently-powered virtual machines makes OS development really low friction. Though I’d personally go for a blade subrack instead.
