My PCP got me to do an online questionnaire through ADHD Online.
He thought it was quackery until the pandemic essentially forced him to try sending people down that route. He now trusts the results (and finds it way quicker + cheaper than a referral to an in-state specialist). Basically, your questionnaire takes the place of an in-person interview and gets assessed by a doctor in a low-population state. (I think mine was reviewed by a doctor in North Dakota or something.) I think it was about $90 (out of pocket).
Based on that I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
I followed up with my PCP, who got me on a low grade antidepressant. I don't feel depressed or anxious anymore, and it's helped me turn my ADHD into a superpower. (My brain is still all over the place, but I have the confidence to weaponize it.) I'm definitely one of the lucky ones, but that's the journey I took.
False. The Liberals are generally centre-right even within Canada. Your compass is off.
Your Newtonian physics argument is nonsensical and frankly rude.
Wait... Is that community run by Gerald Holmes?

If parliament is prorogued until March 24th, then I guess they're not going to hit the March 19th deadline to resolve the unconstitutional "Lost Canadians" issue: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/court-blasts-trudeau-government-for-delays-in-passing-lost-canadians-bill/article_5f2076be-b982-11ef-97b5-b76bc081d0ec.html
Remember when Kevin O'Leary considered running for the leadership of the Conservative party, but dropped it because he's too stupid to speak French? I love the fact that our two official languages saved us from getting our own Trump wannabe.
This was my first thought, too.
I started taking antidepressants a few months ago to treat ADHD-related anxiety and depression. (The doctor suggested that I could try ADHD-specific meds, but pointed out that I'm already a relatively successful adult, so clearly I've built coping mechanisms over the years.)
I'm surprised by how much more rational I've become when dealing with stuff.
I first really noticed it when I was crossing at an intersection and a driver turning right didn't see me and almost hit me. She slammed on the brakes and waved her hands in a clearly startled and apologetic way. Before the meds I probably would have flipped her the bird and had my heart pounding in my ears for the next half hour as I seethed with anger. Now, my thought was "She made a mistake. I'm fine. She knows she made a mistake and she'll certainly be more careful next time. It's okay."
That's not to say that I don't get angry anymore. I just get angry about stuff that matters or where I can change something. It feels a lot healthier.
Standard disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice. It's just my anecdotal experience. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting tested for depression and/or anxiety. (I had never thought to before this year, because in my youth I was just called "disorganized", "lazy", and "scatterbrained".)
Around 500k without power in the Seattle area.
(Posted in the dark as I'm told that we should expect power by around noon on Saturday.)
What national ID?
The US doesn't have a national ID card. I have a federally-issued ID card as a lawful permanent resident, but the typical US citizen has what? Their main proof of citizenship is their birth certificate, issued by their state, and doesn't have a photo (and if it did, would probably be a baby photo). The people with passports tend to have enough money to travel internationally, which is a pretty small proportion of the population (as it's a big country, so even a lot of people who can afford vacations will vacation in the next state over at most).
As a maintainer on an open source project, I assume the sticks are PRs coming in right before code freeze, right? Right?!
What I've read in recent weeks is that people have been donating to the "Biden-Harris campaign", so Harris has access to all that money by default.
While I would love a stronger candidate (Whitmer, perhaps), I understand that Harris is a lot less complicated. My understanding is that she can just take the money and run (for the presidency).
Edit: Personally, I think (and thought back in 2019/2020) that Biden should have pulled the same move as James K Polk, and declared upfront that he would be a one term president. Then we could have had a competitive Democratic primary, which would have stood out against the Republican coronation.
It's a wonderful comparison going back at least thirty years: https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1994/07/15
While kids are now more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD due to increased awareness and better diagnostic methods, this can also lead to an interesting "reverse echo" effect where their parents have a sudden realization that they're ADHD too.
Hearing about the symptoms from a doctor talking about your child can be an eye-opener that stuff we called "laziness" and "being too sensitive" back in the 80s might have a better name.
Inferring doesn't mean the same thing as implying. They're kind of complementary, like borrowing versus lending.
The OP may have been implying something, but it looks like you're inferring something (which may or may not what they're implying; I don't care enough to parse that out).
The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!
Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.
The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they're usually so late game that I haven't minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
To be fair, Avril Lavigne signed away the movie rights to Sk8ter Boi to Paramount in 2003, and we still don't have that movie.
Selling IP rights into another medium is not the same as a guarantee that it will be developed (though it is a first step).
Trump's second impeachment came after he lost his second election.
