I feel like I'm all over the place in this thread! > Treatment options are often of doubtful effectiveness, and those that are shown to be effective are generally very blunt instruments. I have to agree with this, but the alternati

It becomes a disorder when it's detrimental to regular life. Many who have ADHD are incredibly frustrated at their apparently lack of willpower. It's not the rest of society pressuring them to come closer to the norm, they want to

Same in Kansas. They may not be the same swings I had as a kid (with bare chains, chafing rubber seat, and a wood chip pit to land in), but they still seem to be around in the same numbers.

Thanks! I didn't realize that was the tool, I thought it was merely supporting libraries.

Exactly. If you have a steady income, there's no reason you shouldn't be working on a buffer to separate yourself from bills by at least a month.

I was writing something longer, but essentially +1 YNAB. The videos you refer to also go over how to build up that buffer while you're living paycheck to paycheck. Some might be turned off by having to manually input charges, by having

So they can charge you another $8/month for a cable box! (Not kidding, that's what Cox did to me)

It often surprises me when other people are resistant to wearing glasses later in life. I've had them since second grade, they are just a fact of life!

Exactly. The courses I keep returning to in my mind are the ones outside the scope of my degree. Everything else melded into some form of career preparation. On a side note, I think many fail to recognize what "liberal education"

And which would be an analogue to The Javascript Cookbook? (I'll show myself out)

by lfowles 11y ago
Does it take less time? I have a similar cooker and it uses ~1 cup of water for completely hard boiled eggs (total capacity 10 eggs[0]). The cooker rings a bell when the water has completely boiled off, which is closer to 10 minutes than 20

Ok, that makes more sense. I had something like Skype in mind... in theory I have my entire Skype history, but going back more than 100 lines or so is cumbersome. I'd rather teach my wife how to grep logs than to deal with that.

Interesting, because my wife (non-tech, but still nerdy EE) and I communicate a lot via IRC! I've never used Slack, but my assumption is that it's ephemeral messaging at the core. Could you expand on how you archive recipes? I sho

Absolutely. I pick out one or two key features I want beyond the basics and then see if any of the highly rated models have those. If I'm shopping for a point and click that can take a picture only when it detects everyone's eyes

I'll have you know that this particular subthread was way too civil for the Internet.

No, where did you see that? It isn't constantly buffering live TV though. What I do is pause and go fix a drink for a few minutes and that gives me ample ability to fastforward commercials. I'm actually not completely sure about h
