You can pull the fuse but this also disables Bluetooth iirc.

“This would be a real banger if we mixed in a synthesizer and some orchestral music.” --Jeff Lynne (Probably)

He may not have actually said that but he certainly thought it and he was not wrong.

A lot of people used to still think this.

You’re over thinking this. Neither health insurance companies nor any employer that isn’t a complete pile of shit cares if you have ADHD. The only time an employer has even had an official record that I have it is when they have mandatory drug testing and mine comes back positive for amphetamines. If they ask about it at all, usually “I take Vyvanse for ADHD” ends the conversation and it never comes up again.

Do what’s best for your health and well being.

I lost count of how many times I was told I “wasn’t trying hard enough” or was “lazy” or was a “SpAcE cAdEt”.

When you’re repeatedly told things like that as a kid, you start to believe them. Getting a diagnoses was vindicating because it meant all those people were dead wrong.

Broadly speaking, ADHD steals your ability to choose what you want to do, how you want to feel, etc. by taking away your ability to execute on those desires. Getting medicated didn’t magically fix everything but for the most part, it gave me back the power of choice.

Five foot eleven!? I didn’t know they stacked shit that high!!

One of the best teachers I have ever seen was one of my kids teachers during COVID.

All the other, mostly younger, teachers were just “herp derping” their way through doing school remotely. And this one lady, who was like two years from retirement, just points a camera at a blank piece of paper and writes out the math lessons by hand while talking you through each step.

I’m just watching this like, “where the hell was this lady when I was in 6th grade??”

My parents: “You just need to focus and finish your math homework.”

My undiagnosed ADHD brain: “No can-dos-ville babydoll.”

“Lets use Oracle DB for that.”

Statements made by the utterly deranged.

No. But there are a number of advantages of using PostgreSQL over the others.

Some of us are very sorry that our country, particularly our leadership, is a giant fuckwad and we would put a stop to it if we could.

I’ve always found it interesting how brands that are either not household names or have been mostly forgotten shaped technology that we use every day. You can find LED bulbs or cheap electronics with the Curtis-Mathes brand nowadays but back in the 60’e and 70’s, they set the standard for repairable TV’s, at least in the US. They basically modularized everything to where there were like 10 replacable parts and the repairman carried all of those with him. They could swap out a bad component in minutes.

Another one that was never a household name is Allen Organ Company. They make electronic pipe organs, which replicate the sounds of an actual pipe organ, sans pipes. In the early 70’s they created the first fully digital organ. It had a small computer that generated the tones. Even though it had a several large PCB’s and a pretty big footprint for its limited capabilities compared to computers today, at the time it was a pretty impressive feat.

More shovels to the face. That’s the power of the Home Depot.

Nowadays people spend their money on sensible crazes, like Stanley Mugs.

The Mormons are really going to extreme lengths anymore.

He should resign as governor because I guarantee he does not have time to do both jobs at the same time.

That said, Trump received 60.22% of the popular vote in Louisiana in 2024 so I’m gonna guess they’re fine with it. Republican voters are usually fine with their politicians doing nothing to improve society. In fact, that’s kind of a selling point.
