I don't disagree, but there has been some decent stuff. In particular, I just started Doom Patrol for the first time and I'm really enjoying it

Once I got past the first few paragraphs, all I learned from that is that I don't understand the Poincare conjecture or really anything about topology

I mean, I did specify "in the real world" and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.

PERC

Perchloroethylene (aka tetrachloroethene) is a completely non-polar compound, so, yes, it is a dry liquid.

I would tend to disagree with the Cambridge example, because liquids can be dry. "Dry" liquids are anhydrous, meaning they've been treated to remove any water.

Source: Am chemist and I teach O-Chem, which frequently uses dry solvents, like anhydrous acetone.

I don't know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it's classified as a starship

especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.

That's a rookie move. Leave the fan on at full blast all night, and then you won't hear the difference when the AC kicks in, plus it's a free white-noise machine

It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it's handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.

Certainly possible, but I'm sort of a textbook mild case of ADHD, just with the side case of insomnia being fairly prominent (which was true even before medication). Everybody reacts to medication in different ways, so I've just found I have to rely on coping strategies more than medication for my case. It's not a big deal and I'm at a point in my life where I can manage my ADHD symptoms in a way that doesn't affect my life too much. So for me, the side effects of the medication exacerbate my preexisting insomnia to the point that the drawbacks of adderall outweigh the benefits for my particular brand of ADHD.

No it's IR, but taken 20 mg in the morning and then 10 mg in the early afternoon. It just always wound up with the physical effects lingering much longer than the mental effects, so if I tried skipping the afternoon dose, then I'd wind up totally scattered and useless from about 3PM on.

The XR once in the morning worked a little better, but for whatever reason didn't really help the same way and I still had the insomnia from it.

 

Bonobos are apes, not monkeys, but I thought it was close enough.

Baker Street is where Sherlock Holmes, the most famous fictional detective of all time, lived.

For instance, I made an account here in Lemmy.world because it seemed like a nice, well rounded place to start. However, I want stuff from TTRPG.network to show up when I browse my "frontpage," but all I see is my Lemmy.World communities.

I'm using Liftoff on Android at the moment, but I'm a newb, so I'm clearly not tied to that app.
