@jmw150 I think that hyperfocus is actually part of ADHD... The way I see ADHD is that it isnt a lack of ability to focus, its that you tend to have hyperfocus on those things which are enjoyable (or at least not tedious and extended).

Its really poorly named, people with ADHD have more attention than those without, its just their attention is so strong that anything they love, and therefore draws in the most of their attention, will overshadow the things they dislike.

@jmw150 Generally ADHD, at least in my expiernce, should increase your bandwidth not decrease it (if you manage it of course). Where I find people with ADHD have trouble is where the bandwidth is narrow. In other words if your asked to focus intently on a single boring task for extended period of times (low bandwidth) it can be very difficult. However when given a dozen tasks to handle all at once someone with ADHD can juggle them quite well usually.

If you had been assigned multiple tasks when you found yourself struggling with the one you suggested you would have just put it aside and worked on a different task for a bit, then once your in a more receptive state of mind move back to the original task, perhaps doing it in short sprints rather than all at once.

I find when people with ADHD follow the above pattern they can excel at their productivity beyond that of someone without ADHD.

@mur2501 Agreed, free education is very important and sadly very much inaccessible to many.

@AmpBenzScientist I mean, you go back just a few decades, substitute cocaine for Dex and you pretty much have a perfect fit :)

@jmw150 I'm not sure ADHD is something most people perceive as abnormal, I think most just see it as a personality type. In general for most mental diagnosis like this I tend to find that they are really more of a personality type than a disorder. Its just when it is taken too far to an extreme, to the point it can be hard to function, it can (and should be) treated.

It is a bit like the difference between healthy bouts of sadness we all have and depression. If the natural sense of sadness we all experience, or as part of our personality to feel it, gets too much its a disorder but otherwise at reasonable quantities its just a persons personality and little more.

@mur2501 Teaching was going to be my career if i didnt go with greedy entrepreneur instead :)

That said I offer free tutoring for anyone who needs it which is pretty much teaching. Generally though i dont limit the subjects I offer within my expertise. So pretty much anything science or math I'm willing to teach. Most subjects I can handle well enough to teach people up to a masters or so, but past a certain point the subjects I can offer start to narrow down as we get into the very advanced part of the spectrum. Like I can tutor/teach for the first year or two of quantum mechanics but past that I'll start hitting my limits as its not really my expertise.

@AmpBenzScientist I'm not sure you'd see an ad of a doctor taking uppers in his off time though just as a pick me up.

@timorl

I thinkt he lie is stupid, and shameful. I think its a good reason why Fuci isnt someone we should have much respect for... but its also something I knew he was doing and never needed an email to verify.

More importantly compared to the mountain of lies we get out of most politicians or mouthpieces for politicians its barely worth quibbling over. If that lie is enough for us to throw a fit and call for his resignation or him being fired then I think its time we impeach the whole of congress because every single one of thme have done 1000x worse, and while I dont think his excuse is justification for lying at the very least he had good intentions, which i cant say about the majority of lies you hear coming out of DC anyway.

Long story short, while fauci's behavior has lost my respect for him that I never had in the first place, this is such a "mountain out of a molehill" thing that it strikes me as just noise.

I would tend to agree with Timorl's initial statement. It comes across as just childish posturing on the Rs even when I kinda agree with them.

@realcaseyrollins

@L29Ah yea im just trying to understand where the cut ff is to give you an answer

@xyfdi@gameliberty.club

Gender is an amorphous liquid, therefore like all amorphous solids/liquids they do not have a specific melting point.

@realcaseyrollins

@devinprater@dragonscave.space &&, ||, and ! are the standard in the vast majority of languages. Python is really the dd one out for using plain english words

@L29Ah Youa re asking the most powerful one that is simple enough for a non-expert to design around basically? So no traditional CPUs so basically just SoC not processors in general?

@devinprater@dragonscave.space yes, "if not" is effectively the same as "unless"

@mur2501

I only sell the birthdates themselves, I dont list who owns them.
