Everyone is on their own journey and there are so many reasons a person might think a particular way.

The comment you are responding to is just trying to explain their own situation and say the person who wrote the article might want to investigate a similar experience compared to their own. I read the article as one where someone is exploring and ADHD is would be exploration. I would specify that ADHD inattentive type is the one that it reads most like to me.

I don't see why you'd want to knock someone's choice of treatment for a particular condition. You might not see a need for a particular treatment option, but many folks get relief from anxiety or other things such as RSD while being medicated for ADHD. They can make their own decisions.

Lots of articles about skipping vetting or bypassing normal process.

The context is that administration bypassed the typically vetting processes for almost everyone and is flaunting various rules openly (see signal controversy). Those processes for vetting are important to ensure that folks won't betray the U.S.A. and can be trusted.

This individual might be highly talented and completely trustworthy, but because of how the administration is operating opens everything up for scrutiny including things that should have a bit of scrutiny.

The U.S. makes mistakes in terms of doing the wrong thing. But because it’s a democracy, it is capable of recognizing those mistakes and attempting to make amends. For example the internment of people of Japanese descent during world war 2, it was terrible for the folks rounded up and put into camps. It took 40 years, but we acknowledged it was wrong.

“In 1988, Congress passed, and President Reagan signed, Public Law 100-383 – the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 – that acknowledged the injustice of "internment," apologized for it, and provided a $20,000 cash payment to each person who was incarcerated.”

If you are in a dictatorship, that acknowledgement of a past wrong is absolutely impossible. That’s why democracy is so important. George Takei makes this point much more eloquently that I ever could, and it’s why he believes so strongly in democracy.

Thankfully the various parents are all pretty good about restricting screen time.

For my own kids when they are bored there is a flow of requests. First they ask if they can watch TV. Then they ask if they play video games. Then they ask if they can goto a friends house that they like. Then they ask if they can see a neighbor kid who they are kinda meh about. If I keep saying no to all the distractions they typically will enter a complainy phase about how they are bored, but after a bit of boredom they enter a very imaginative state where we can end up with some top tier kid games, the kind you might see on Bluey.

China has tremendous leverage over him via whether he can access their markets.

996 is an example. It means workers work from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week.

Another example is the massive subsidies the government gives manufacturers.

Can you explain what you mean?

I fail to see the downside for EU manufacturers.

I'd argue the way American culture is constructed (drive everywhere, less opportunities to walk, folks are socially isolated) in a way that actually puts people in a situation where they are much more likely to be overweight.

So the costs are ones we as a society are putting on individuals are coming back to bite everyone in the ass.

My kids are still playing catchup in terms of illnesses since the pandemic. Our district masked for the first two years. Neither of my kids were sick for those two years.

Since then they’ve been playing catchup immunity wise as they’ve been exposed to all the colds and other viruses. Which means they are absent more.

I’m hopeful that they are almost caught up in terms of what they have been exposed to and the amount of times they are sick in a year will be declining.

Seriously it blows my mind that folks say masks don’t work because if you’ve had school age children you know how often they are sick and for those two years the district was masking we had nothing. It was glorious while it lasted.

I’m surprised if tobacco utilization has increased during the time period in question.

This is so great

Probably spun off

For folks who don’t know, this is a great read and explores how we are connected and communicate is more important than what is communicated. Highly highly recommend.

The slightly alternative title is a play on words that was originally an error.

It could have been a surge of temps at USPS to handle holiday mail volume.

I’m sure they are. What’s the screentime per day for the cohort? 2 hours? 4 hours? 8 hours?

VMware is notorious for continuously changing SKUs and licensing models to make things more expensive. I would suspect that Broadcom will continue putting the squeeze on customers. If hyper-V (or whatever it's named now) was a viable alternative, I suspect you'd see tons of folks fleeing VMware.

vCenter is a huge target. VMware docs differ from the the Crowdstrike recommendations, with security vendors saying basically to lock it down to the 9th degree or suffer the consequences.

For you gluten might be fine, but for others it’s not fun, just like cream sauces for you. Everyone’s different.

Good question. I’m guessing so.

I’m surprised it’s taken so long. Companies have abused this practice to an absurd degree. Got a job at a sandwich shop? I guess you are prohibited from getting a different job down the street based on the agreement you signed at the beginning of your employment.

I honestly thought this was going to be about the A-10 warthog.

Undervaluing education is another sign that society is shifting to rent seeking. Extracting short term wealth by burning the future.

Starting salaries for many districts for jobs that require a masters is pathetic.

Many suburban schools pay decent, but often urban centers pay poorly.

I know one person who was offered under $30k for teaching young special Ed folks. This is someone who has a masters and extra certs on tops of that.

Your argument about physics teachers being more sought after is interesting but misses the point. As a society we want our children to have the best outcomes, providing them with the best education at early ages provides that.

To have the best education you want to pay well and attract the best candidates. Not have those teachers splitting their time with Uber so they can afford rent.

There was a study that showed the value of great kindergarten teachers and it’s over $300k a year.

Glass is a terrible idea because of litter. The beaches around here used to be unusable because of the amount of glass in the sand. Nothing like a kiddo screaming because of a chunk of glass in their foot to make you change your mind.

Higher deposit for plastic sounds good to me.

Same setup here. Sony TV that’s never been connected plus an Apple TV.

We solved the ozone hole, we can solve this, it just takes leaders who aren’t bought by existing fossil fuel interests.

“CO2 levels are now comparable to the Pliocene Climatic Optimum, between 4.1 and 4.5 million years ago, when they were close to, or above 400 ppm. During that time, sea levels were between 5 and 25 meters higher than today offsite, high enough to drown many of the world’s largest modern cities. “

Oh boy, that’s not good. I mean it’s going to take a while for it to raise up, but so long Florida.

I had a bunch of random stability issues with Music, they mostly went away when I deleted and reinstalled the App. Still not what I would expect out of Apple for one of their main apps.

About half the time when I use it on the desktop I have to force quit Music. I have no idea how a non-technical person would use something so buggy.
