You might be right, it might be that the pharmacy won't accept the prescription until the last one has run out, rather than when the doctor will prescribe a new one. Regardless, it's a really common complaint in ADHD support group

ADHD and other neurodevelopmental disorders are all typically assessed based on self report (via standardised questionnaires).

If the gameplay amounts to what's in the video, it seems to be based on a poor or at least vastly simplified understanding of what ADHD is, seems to be training some a simple kind of multimodal attention and context switching between s

Yeah, I would be surprised if it were to do with "not liking them" and not "consistently getting them is highly difficult for a person with ADHD" due to their controlled status in most countries. In the US, from what I&#

At least the airports I frequently fly from, that's rare - you're walking from the gate down a bunch of stairs and then across the tarmac directly to the door.

Well it's not a problem for Ryanair if it means they can charge extra to give you a better chance of getting storage. Ryanair isn't a good experience, but it isn't terrible either. I fly with them most of the time from the UK

Yeah, there are a lot of problems with Godot 4 web exports generally - due to the fact that it's a lot more multi-threaded in general than Godot 3, which presents problems for web exports and requires certain features to be enabled ser

The only thing not available in C# in godot 4 is web exports - they'll come whenever upstream support arrives. Using C# actually nets you more features, not less.

As a Brit the first thing I imagined was one of those large, thin plastic boards, usually green, with a grid of various measurements and angles printed on them, used for cutting fabric for sewing patterns.

Same in the UK. For example, it's not uncommon to have food items that are certified as vegan, with a warning that they may contain traces of milk due to cross contamination - for most vegans, this is acceptable.

I believe your point was "it's ok for OP to have fun with this project even if it's unsafe", but no one's saying that OP shouldn't have done this, since it's not what they've done that's unsafe.

Again, it's not that anything the OP did is unsafe or could go wrong.

A key thing here is that you can train the ability to visualise. You probably don't spend very long per day trying to picture your friend's face with the glasses and mustache, but if you did, you'd find that over time, your

As mentioned, they're the same. Although "dhyana" can be translated as "meditation", it should be pointed out that at least in the yoga tradition, it refers to a specific, deeply focused state of one pointedness, li

Although I agree that a lot of people may be overblowing their experience, either by mistake, through ignorance, or else for clout/internet points, think about it this way: when the Buddha was alive, the jhanas were standard practice,

There is usually a marked difference between "insight" practice (that give realisation about the fundamental nature of experiences) and "concentration" practice (i.e. jhanas). Just practicing jhanas is not all that condu
