From what I understand, most ADHD medications are stimulants. Caffeine is too. Apparently a lot of ADHD people self-medicate with coffee or energy drinks unintentionally.
I know that anecdotally it’s true. Almost everyone I know with ADHD consumes caffeine like crazy.
It’s probably just that you’re not the target market for Harry Potter anymore and the only part of HP that’s still relevant to you is JKR and her transphobia.
HBO and their parent company Warner Bros are making a big deal out of their upcoming TV show. They own the rights to the films and merchandise and HP is a cash cow for them. They flopped with the Fantastic Beasts series, so you can bet there is going to be a push to try to cash in on nostalgia and novelty with the Harry Potter series.
As someone who grew up on HP, there are way better books in the same genre out there anyway. The hype of Harry Potter is all just marketing from Warner Bros (they own most of the rights on merchandise).
If you want an actually good children’s/YA story about a young person learning magic and becoming the hero, try the Tiffany Aching subseries of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. They are much better written than HP.
I can’t help but think of this “Straight Man Fashion” video when I see this picture. https://youtube.com/shorts/80w3SyCai2o
He has a Canadian citizenship. Please don’t send him here. We don’t want him either.
I don’t have a BambuLab printer, but the printers I have owned have done that when the nozzle is clogged, when over extruding or when the print bed is too close to the nozzle.
Basically, something is preventing the plastic from extruding out and the extruder motor is slipping.
I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona and I don’t blame her for driving. They NEED better public transit there. On the occasion my wife and I couldn’t drive, it was often faster to walk for literal hours than take the bus. Phoenix is the definition of sprawl. It upset me so much when people were complaining about the city extending the light rail.
All that said, this article is pure cope. She bought a truck that makes a political statement and is upset that people don’t like that it makes a political statement.
A dipole doesn’t have a ground plane like some other antennas. A dipole is a balanced antenna and both sides work off of each other equally.
With that said, this one is probably used for receiving and if one end is connected to the electrical ground (different thing from antenna ground plane) then it’s going to be the left side with the uninsulated wire most likely.
It’s also the way they make cheap LED headlights. The reflectors that direct the beam of light in your headlights expects the filament of the bulb to be in a very specific spot, but LED headlights often have a much wider area where the light emits from than the little filament that traditional headlights do. So when installed in cars that aren’t designed for LEDs, the beam pattern can be off and make the light shine at people instead of down toward the road.
Looks like they are using it to warm the screen adhesive so they can remove the screen and repair the phone.
I sometimes wonder why anything is wrapped in plastic at all. So many products are wrapped in plastic for seemingly no other reason than to indicate that it’s unopened.
That depends on your goal. If you want something free, open source and self-hosted then Plex isn’t the best option and you’d do better to look at Jellyfin or Kodi.
I can’t help but think that this is just a ranking of how much people need these things. Everyone needs a grocery store all of the time, so it makes sense to have one nearby whether or not you use a car to get there. But people don’t need a bar or a shopping mall every day. So people might be more willing to have one a bit further away.
Don’t AI models need to be trained on the material they are trying to emulate?
American living in Canada here. It took me a couple of months at most to get used to both. I still couldn’t give you an accurate conversion between metric and imperial, but my brain understands the metric units now. It’s just a matter of using the units in everyday life.
Speed and distance were probably the easiest ones for me. You set your car’s dash to use km/h instead of mph. Then you just follow the road laws like normal. If it says the speed limit is 100 km/h, you just don’t let the number on the dash go much above that. Or you just drive the same speed everyone else does like you do on American roads anyway.
Temperature was a bit more confusing, but you pretty quickly learn that you’ll be happy if you set the thermostat to 18-24 and that if the temperature outside hits 30, it’s going to be a hot day. That kind of precision is more than enough for your mind.
I genuinely used to think I’d have a hard time switching to metric for most things. In my mind, I’d always have to be converting things back to imperial in my head. But that just isn’t the way it works. You quickly just start to relate the units to the real world and you understand it pretty quick.
Celsius:
0 is freezing
10 is not
20 is pleasing
30 is hot
Whoosh
Would I call those examples transphobic? For the questions about the labels used, I wouldn’t use the term “transphobic,” but rather misinformed.
For the question about the definition of a woman, yes it is transphobic. And yes there is a problem with it. It may be unintentional, and it may be misguided, but it’s still an example of an outward aversion to trans people. It is also something that continues to harm the trans community.
Now, I wouldn’t hold it against them at all if they listened to trans individuals and corrected themselves for the future. Just because you have problematic viewpoints, doesn’t make you a bad person. Open-minded people who can learn from their mistakes are what the world needs right now.
Let me give an example. When I was a kid in the 90s and 00s, we frequently used the terms “gay” and f** as an insult to each other or to say something was bad. That was homophobic even though we didn’t realize it was. It directly hurt the gay community by associating the term with everything bad. It made the actual gay people around us afraid to come out. As I got older, I (and most people I know) learned how harmful using those words in that way were and I corrected myself. I will break that history of homophobia by teaching my kids that kind of language is not OK. I think of that as a good thing.
Learning from our mistakes and teaching others to learn from our mistakes is the single best thing anyone can do. In my personal opinion, that is actually better than being a silent ally.
I think the meme is referring to the first vowel.
I don’t think Silksong is a AAA game. It’s a $20 game made by an indie developer with a relatively small team. It just happened to have a lot of hype because it’s the predecessor to the insanely popular Hollow Knight.
