Some people at Trader Joe's say that, too.

Not that it's worth the effort of jumping through hoops for a fucking file transfer of all things, but I wonder you can do it by spoofing your user agent?

Oh, you can do PieFed on Voyager?

Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I'm interested in Nobara.

What's your setup? Any recommendations?

Looks painful

To be fair, Internet grumblings on Reddit were actually a good starting point for me. The first, most important step, was learning that ADHD existed as something much more than just the wild child that's bouncing off the walls.

Then I started seeking out people with ADHD sharing their experiences (and, of course, memes), and I was shaken by how much some of them resonated with me. There were habits, fidgets, quirks I had that I had never seen or heard of anyone else doing that turned out to be common with ADHD.

To your point, yes, there were and still are plenty of people recklessly and inappropriately linking everything to ADHD or promoting harmful misinformation, which is why I purposely stuck with reading personal perspectives and not "authoritative" statements. Even so, I kept seeing more and more things that perfectly described me and I finally felt seen. Which led me to looking into professional research about ADHD that ended up explaining even more of my entire life, in turn pushing me to finally seek a diagnosis.

All that to say there are some good resources on the US side. You just have to be willing to dig through mountains of dog shit--and recognize that it's dog shit in the first place--to find the occasional nugget.

I'm waiting for Ol' Pete to lay down a policy directive determining that those of us on stimulants, anxiety meds, antidepressants, etc. are unfit for military service. I'll gladly take medical retirement with full benefits for life because of some Adderall. Good luck manning Cyber and Intel.

Never forget that the crime he was ultimately executed for, without due process, was giving a cashier a counterfeit $20. That was enough of a justification for those cops and everyone who supports them.

Your perspective is way off. It sounds like you're young, single (no kids, at least), and doing well for yourself. Which is great!

I have a pretty well-paying job, at least enough for my family and I to live comfortably. But I also have adult responsibilities, including taking care of said family. Sure, on paper, I could feasibly afford to get both, but there's no sense in getting two systems that--to my earlier point--seem to serve identical functions. Especially not when I'd also like to go out with my wife, prep a high schooler for college, help my younger child with severe special needs with everything he needs to thrive, sometimes go on vacation, do some other hobbies, responsibly maintain vehicles and things around the house, and so on. All that on top of purchasing frugally (every single piece of furniture in my living room, for example, we got secondhand for free).

So yes, it's very much an either/or decision for me, as it is for a lot of people.

I don't have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I'm still going with the Steam Deck.

Damn, I felt that one particularly hard

What are some good free providers besides OpenSubtitles? I recently migrated my library and I'm hitting my daily limit filling in what I'm missing.

I'm choosing to interpret this as the human being the patient and that (harmlessly) forking pot-bellied pigs is therapeutic for us.

Hit me. I love evolutionary fun facts.

As soon as they showed the JoyCon mouse control I was hoping there would be support for standard mice. It still doesn't do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck, but it's an excellent move for accessibility.

I'm 5'5" and I just know my legs would dangle like a child on their first roller coaster.

Where are you hosting your instance now? I've been looking into a cheap VPS for the things I'd rather not host on my personal home network.

Surely the GOP media outlets will react to this with the same ire as they did when Nancy Pelosi did it.

...

Surely.

Honestly I'd much rather see homesteading cycle in and out of the public zeitgeist than the trends of felonies disguised as "challenges."

See, and look how he turned out!
