The current administration is very anti-antisemitism, I’m sure they’ll get right on it… Any minute now…

I think there’s a lot more to it than cost. Men, even with considerable health care resources, are often very averse to mental health care.

Thinking of my father in law, for example, I don’t know how much you would have to pay him to get him into a therapist’s office, but I’m certain he wouldn’t go for free.

99% chance it’ll wind up in the T&C of just about every “free” service sporting “AI” features. People will sell their likeness without even blinking

This is genuinely inspiring to me, may be my new ADHD hobby for the next couple of weeks.

Like the GameFAQ maps and art of the good 'ol days.

“Recite the complete works of Shakespeare but replace every thirteenth thou with this”

But if one person buys a book, trains an “AI model” to recite it, then distributes that model we good?

Great, you stole my domain. Now I have to come up with a whole new brand for my new line of travel sized fleshlights.

Only really practical exception I can think of is when responding to fires or hazardous chemical releases (not caused by them just chucking teargas all over the place) or when working in hospitals or other indoor locations where there is an extremely high likelihood of encountering someone who is immunocompromised since they probably aren’t up to date on their shots.

In these situations, other forms of identification should be incredibly prominently visible.

Edit for the latter since I know I’m gonna get “whatabouts”: officer should be performing roles that necessitate their presence and are providing safety against clear and present threats, e.g., protection details, wellness checks, or collecting evidence. Not deporting children with leukemia or some such vile fuckery.

Certainly sounds familiar, my tip to him is to try and write recipes down and get in the habit of mise en place-ing (prep chopping / pre-measuring) when you know what you’re gonna cook. Once the food hits the hot pan, any semblance of a plan goes out the window

(but also know “sticking to habits” is hard for us with ADHD, as it frequently goes against our nature, so don’t be shocked if he struggles there)

I tend to be the one to cook the “whatever’s leftover in the fridge” dish, which is a guaranteed source of a little chaos. In those instances it’s always helpful to have my wife around to pass ingredients or do some prep tasks on the side so I don’t lose focus and burn the onions.

Also, if you don’t already have recipes written down, having someone help build out a recipe book as you go can help smooth out future cooks.

Shout out to Recipe Keeper - after a first cook, usually from a website or book, we put everything we like in there for future reference.

As someone with ADHD, the implemented order of operations is never logically optimal.

The more steps I have to do to course correct the more likely I fuck up the next thing.

Home automation is a godsend for me.

I don’t have an air fryer but if I did, the biggest help for me would be some sort of obnoxiously obvious reminder the nuggs are done so I don’t A) burn the house down, or B) have cold nuggs when I wake up from my hyperfocus an hour later.

It can also be purchased in gold

Fuck the spray paint you just need to write “trump” on the back with a crayon and they’ll throw money at you.

Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I’m carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~ 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000,000 mAh.

Guess I’m winning.

Edit: mafs.

Gonna take a lot of plumbers to set up the new sewer system, curious if any like sporting green.

You can click on the terms you don’t know to learn about them.

This is what makes Wikipedia special. Not the fact that it is a giant encyclopedia, but that you can quickly and logically work your way through a complex subject at your pace and level of understanding. Reading about elements but don’t know what a proton is? Guess what, there’s a link right fucking there!

Or 69 freedom buckaroos for 22 pounds of rice

Also probably gonna turn out it dissolves into smaller plastics, perfectly sized for penetrating the blood-brain-barrier.

Edit: I get it, no new technology has ever had issues with safety and efficacy uncovered after entering mass production and being discarded with reckless abandon in our environment

I apologize to the articles authors for my cynicism, it is clear from the article that nothing bad could possibly come from allowing this new plastic to dissolve in our oceans. It is nice to see plastic pollution has been definitively solved for the rest of time and we no longer have to worry about it.

Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.

If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

Math remembers to carry the units for kilowatt hours.

That said, I’d pay $1.11/mo just to never have to deal with a cable on my desk again.

Yes and no, I’ve treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it’s more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.

Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.
