I'm glad you two can get along in this capacity. I have ADHD and I'm very much like your wife and my last partner was like you, but my ability/tendency to multitask tended to be overwhelming for her even when it was just me

Music helps me drown out surrounding noise/distractions and energizing music can pump me up, but I also get distracted by playlists because each new song triggers a novelty response in my brain and will distract me (especially if I sta

I guess I was thinking more of aesthetic beauty. Truly there are deeper and more lasting forms of beauty to be enjoyed in the world. But our brains are drawn persistently to images, and I don't necessarily find anything wrong with that

I'll admit I'd really bought into the idea of Instagram as the solution to Facebook, as a place where everything was sunshine and rainbows and everyone could just appreciate art and beauty without the negativity of, well, controve

In the US it is very easy to get into a university. It is not so easy to get into a good university. > Why not just build more universities? Because enrollment and the numbers of students who can pay are dwindling [1]. > Also why not

I was going to say, hasn't all of this been known for a while? I suppose it's worth continuing to publish articles educating more and more of the public on the topic, but the headline is rather deceptive in presenting this as a ne

It's so weird that this came up today because I was just reading all about this yesterday. I was looking into buying bamboo socks because it sounded like they'd be more sustainable, but as I did more research I found that the most

Kids today miss out if they're not online (which largely takes place on phones) and on social media. They miss out in social interaction, which is arguably even more vital to their development than reading books. Even when I was younge

Speaking of pontification and making mountains out of molehills, your response currently has more text than all the other replies combined. No one here is "offended" by the name and you're the only one who seems "trigger

One study [1] compared two different types of grasses vs grain feed. The cows that ate grass produced more methane per kJ consumed than those that ate the grain feed. There are a bit stranger numbers preceding these figures, where the cows

It's not the style-- it's just not good writing, but it's trying so hard to be. It's the kind of thing that would show up in a college writing workshop and hopefully get workshopped into something more intelligible. As t

I'm not sure by what stretch of the imagination Tinder isn't useful, maybe not to you personally but to its intended audience. By that standard, I could say hammers aren't useful because I personally don't have a use for

Last time I took the Megabus, the bus drivers were complaining that the company had sold the Midwest division (or something like that) to Coach USA. Indeed, the last few times I took it from Chicago to Ohio, they were Coach USA buses instea

It's a bit different in that this isn't a permanent change. This won't wipe out mosquitos everywhere just yet. The infected males will mate with females, and their eggs will be nonviable. Then the males will die, and wild mal

Huh. I remember a couple years ago I was at a hackathon when some guy just came up to me and some friends, handed us stickers with this logo while mumbling a few words, and walked away. I don't remember that person actually pitching an

I agree with others that the author's experience may not be as significant to the wider discussion of female programmers as she thinks it is. I'm a developer now; I could not have made it through a Computer Science major in colleg

I have a good number of bluetooth headphones so I never have to bother with wires if I don't want to, and yet I would still rather use wired headphones if I could. I always tend to get weird Bluetooth problems. I'll turn on a pair

Whenever a site requires special characters, it just ends up limiting me to one of the few memorized passwords I have that matches the criteria, most of which are barely 8 characters long. I use LastPass but I don't like using the pass
