I've also suffered from what I've understood to be ocular migraines, characterized by the intense ocular disruptions. I went to the ER when the first one hit, because I thought I was going blind . > It was disappointed. I didn

As a programmer (with a busy professional and personal life), I don't really care for the fact that it's like this but I acknowledge that it is and I also understand that it can be a strong signal in the right hands. I use my pinn

Friends? What friends? More seriously... My wife has friends that she sees pretty regularly, because we still live in her home state near where she grew up, but I really don't. I'm not sure what they use to organize but I do know

I also prefer heavy dialogue in my reading. Books that are primarily world building an be a struggle. I read a lot, averaging about 40 pages a day, every day, but I also indiscriminately put books down and move on, so it helps to keep me en

Yes. I have no visual imagery, either, but I know that I dream. I just have no recall, or very, very little. I've tried the dream log thing, etc. and nothing ever made a difference. I have a handful of dreams that I can recall from the

Nope, no daydreams here. And I cannot draw, though I am trying to learn (but it's hard to find time with young children), but that doesn't mean much. Famously, at least one of the people who started Pixar is an aphantasiac and, wh

I have similar feelings and thoughts about remote work, I've been working remote in some capacity for over a decade, but I'm careful to ensure that remote doesn't turn into isolated . I've seen that happen before, both

We were in east LA, quick stop off of the 5 south. Not exactly sure which exit/city. I installed the app to take a look. My local McDonalds, in Orange county, through the app, has the Big Mac meal for $9.19.

I was recently looking at a McDonald's drive-thru menu for the first time in probably a decade (road trip, forgot to pack a bite to eat). A Big Mac meal was $11. A large french fry was $4.99. It shocked me a little bit. I've been

Why is an individual students parents a subject for a classroom? That is utterly bizarre and it sounds like the teacher in your hypothetical is singling out the student.

In fairness, I can really only speak to the first couple of years of OIF. I separated in January of 2006. My larger point would be that the function of reservists and National Guardsmen changed dramatically with OEF/OIF, that the mobil

The treatment of reservists, in OIF specifically, across the board -- from active duty service members all the way up the chain to top military leadership and the GWB admin -- was disgraceful. I saw a little bit of it first hand when I was

I spent 4 years in the USAF and echo the same sentiment. Military service isn't for everyone but I had a positive experience and my decision to join remains one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.

Your story is similar to mine. Expectations at work are unrealistic, bordering on complete fiction. We have 3 young children and my wife is still on disability and recovering from childbirth 6 months ago. A vacation would be great but it is
