There's a storm hitting us in about 6 hours. We're going to find out who's who.
  • I brought it inside, but now it's going crazy and jumping all over the furniture; even on my lap when I least expect it.

    Here's a picture of it in the act.

  • bash tricks
  • 'cd ..' goes up a level

  • How am I supposed to obtain income?
  • I went through it a few months ago and for California, at least, the only restrictions were a 2-year limit to be on it, you have to check in weekly to attest to regularly searching/applying, and that you were 'let go' through no fault of your own. (i.e. quit or fired)

    To add, they will generally set up an eligibility interview over the phone with a social worker before any decisions are made.

    I would also suggest to apply for health insurance through the ACA's website as it takes a bit of time and you don't want to be stuck without and get injured or with a penalty. (if mandated by your state) It's generally at no cost if you don't have an income and can be canceled when you do.

  • How am I supposed to obtain income?
  • It's easier to change a system from the inside, possibly with a union, rather than by protesting by yourself

  • It’s Friday, Black Friday, Everybody Go Shop on Friday
  • From the appearance of wholesomely awkward to a cracked-out hooker

  • Malware can turn off webcam LED and record video, demonstrated on ThinkPad X230
  • It's more complex and expensive to have it controlled by software though.

    Hardware controlled would be the equivalence of using a splitter to add a second lamp on an outlet attached to a light switch. (would only require a change in a trace or two and a transistor/resistor or two.)

    Software controlled is the equivalence having to buy smart outlets and programming them yourself to have the two lamps turn on at the same time. (requires the same as a hardware switch, plus a more expensive or even an extra controller chip along with the need to write and program it.)

  • Fox News host gives Trump voters 1 huge reality check: ‘Let’s be realistic’
  • My sister's fiance thought just because an iPhone (for instance) was designed in the states that it wouldn't be subject to tariffs, despite being made in China and using foreign parts.

  • Peanut Predator
  • We also don't build as rubust of a gut flora that early humans did anymore.

  • Love the annual tradition
  • Their loss

  • Love the annual tradition
  • Not all of us live in Alabama.

  • Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.
  • 32°F is freezing. 0°F (-18C) happens, but isn't too common in most of the US.

  • Control
  • Same. I imagine, for me at least, it's due to having deal with unendingly different keyboard models and not being in front of a terminal all day.

    I can however type relatively quickly with either my left or right hand and with the keyboard facing me or sideways. It's a skill that's really useful when helping someone out with an issue they're facing. (I prefer being at their side over remote, as I can gauge what they do and don't understand better)

  • Cooking
  • No worries as long as the intent wasn't to be mean. The thought patterns of what goes on in a person with ADHD, ASD, BPD, ect.. can be really hard to follow, even for us.

    A lot of the memes here are what we go through every day. They're just tempered with a bit of cynical humor. It also tends to be an avenue for us to vent about the highlighted issues, of which most neurotypical brains don't usually have trouble with.


    I guess the best way I can think of to describe the idea the comic is parodying on is that we (people with ADHD) go around life with a microscope stuck to our eyes. In that we can focus extremely painstakingly well on one subject, but as soon as we shift focus or get distracted, we tend to lose our place, sorta like flicking a slide with your finger at 1000x mag and losing that one bacterial cell.

    After years of dealing with this, we tend to subconsciously build very detailed models of how things work or how someone achieved an end-result. This skill gives the appearance that we are gifted at something we just picked up when, in fact, we are just using a model we already built and adapting it to the new thing.

    For the comic, we tend to not absorb a cooking time very well unless we know why it's at that specific interval -and- what is going on (at a granular level) before it's reached, along with what will happen after.

  • Cooking
  • I just make sure the instructions are facing up when they go in the bin. Just needs a quick glance without any extra steps to distract and make you forget. (I got rid of the bin lids as my trash/recycle is usually dry and doesn't smell)

  • Cooking
  • You seen Hoarders, right?

  • Are rocket propelled chainsaws credible?
  • Honestly, I see circular saws/blades as more horrifying
