Is this not basically once-off nerd-sniping for post workers... "ooh: here's a challenge."? I'm sure you only hear about the success stories.

Older devices! And some new ones that still have USB-micro. It's quite difficult to buy a USB-C cable that is not USB-C or Lightning on the other end. While USB-A on the charger's side with USB-C on device side is quite common

Ha! Some of my current favourite artists are barely older than my kids! What's amazing is that you can hear their influences as being the music I was listening to when I was a teen through to my early 20s. Example: Nothing but Thieves

Absolutely true. But in mine and perhaps others' case, not a bad thing at all. See, I've had years of religious indoctrination and because of my way of thinking, I internalised that so deeply, that I lived every moment in a deep w

I was a kid who learned enough music to be barely good enough to do music at church... Now a few decades later I'm learning the drums using Rock Band [0] (and similar, I have almost a complete collection); the video game using a "

Not GP, but I've commented on a few of your comments so far, so will keep going. I still haven't repaired a few things in my life that still cause me significant stress (happy to go in-depth if you email, see bio), but I really ha

hirvi, this is brilliant and so relateable, so thank you. Mine are very similar, but I would add with respect to your points... 1. Yes, but I also have to know that I am the one in charge... otherwise I will not take charge, but I will be

"The clinical diagnosis for a mental illness is that it impacts your life in a negative way." While ADHD has a large part to play in causing mental illness, and is often misdiagnosed as bipolar, BPD, anxiety, etc, ADHD in itself

Agreed. "There's too many kids being diagnosed with ADHD." Um, just maybe those kids would really like to not be made to feel absolutely worthless in life because they have struggles with their attention that was previously w

Fascinating. Seems to me that it would be a comorbidity with a common cause though, rather than the myopia being the causative factor? My (somewhat loosely informed) intuition suggests to me that in the same way that not spending enough tim

And those USB-C hubs are like $20, so I can just get one for each spot I move between. Remember the old days of $200 hubs?

In tracing my family tree, I found a branch that went back to a small town in Scotland, and at least 3-4 generations back were shoemakers. When did my forefather leave the family trade? Circa 1850, when the Industrial Revolution apparently
