A more ethical approach then: put the person in a room together with an adhd'er and see how quickly they bond. Seriously, it's like there's a hidden kinship, shit just works.

Same. I wish you the best for your continued upward trajectory, friend. 😐🤜

What from, if I may ask?

Me, I've been on a multi-year roller coaster (more like haunted house ride, really, with the rattling and the spooks and the lack of upwards motion...) involving asking for help in what turned out to be the wrong place, causing me to lose my job, kids, spouse, dream house, future dreams, sanity, and damn near my life.

Still, I'm still here, still hoping for things to get better. You know, eventually.

A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.

Seriously, how do you even get the data to make such graphs?

On another note, I don't have much sympathy for people who clearly "swipe right on everyone". I am aware that it's a numbers game, but have since standards, man.

Read it again. This self-proclaimed man uses 'women' to describe some people, and also uses 'females' for how some other people describe them.

Thank you for this. You are eloquently and (hopefully) non-threateningly (is that even a word?) stating a message that really, really needs to be said again and again until everyone friggin' gets it.

Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

Bluntly, where would Mozilla be without Google's funding?

Gone, probably.

So while I agree that it is poisonous and there is something very wrong with Mozilla corporate structure, it is a necessary evil.

Very. And he was going blind, too. I read a marvellous interview with him not too long ago, I'll see if I can find it.

This is related to the "airplane on a treadmill" myth (go watch).

Preservation of momentum

I wanna say it's incorrect, but really I'll say it's exaggerated. The man on the diving board is going to continue moving forwards just like the rest of the gear, he's not going to suddenly stop on relation to the road surface. However, he is going to be affected by wind resistance (which scales ~~exponentially~~ quadratically with speed) so he will need to make a good forward leap in order to not fall behind because of that. If he doesn't, he would be effective jumping backwards - but not as far as depicted (unless the car is travelling really, really fast).

If the pool (and indeed, the man) were encased within an envelope to protect from that wind resistance, he would be entirely unaffected. So there.

No, they would still have missed out on those 104k - but they would have saved 150M. That's .... yeah. A lot of school lunch meals.

From my understanding, (a) the brain has no nerves, which is why you can talk to people while doing brain surgery on them; and (b) headache is caused by blood vessels constricting. Now, I am unsure whether migraines are also caused by blood vessels constricting, but in any case - what is it that is doing the sensing of this pain? Or is it a(nother) case of the brain just making shit up because it hates me?
