Dejected Warp Core

it’s a play on the HD/4K thing. SD for televisions is “standard definition”, or what we had before HD: good 'ol NTSC.

Edit: sorry to hear about your med situation. Personally, I can’t do any of the uppers for this because they wreck my gut, and leave me feeling strung out at the end of the day.

Another meme here said it best: “Yes, urinating is something we all do but if you’re doing it 60 times a day, you may have a problem.”

Adderall for the adderall god.

I’m old enough to have been diagnosed with ADD, or I guess now that’s “ADSD”.

Whoa. I got the other neruodivergent thing where recalling to eat on time is a battle. I had no idea that swung the other way for some folks.

Indeed it is! It also comes up under autism too… the way these two diagnoses intersect is evolving in real time.

It also applies to chores and overcoming the dreaded “wall of awful”. It’s called “parallel work” or “body doubling.”

Yup. Gotta lock in and strike while the iron’s hot. That means you shop, buy, cook, prep, freeze, package, whatever, all in one go. If it’s not done in 4 hours wall-to-wall on a Sunday, it ain’t happening; one of those steps will get derailed.

Maybe its to saturate production so nobody else gets them first?

I think they really meant “rock climbing jet skiing” which, like “extreme ironing”, is not for the feint of heart.

I’m drinking your milkshake.

I have never seen the word “forgiveness” so subtly weaponized before.

That man is a menace.

I had a dusty laptop running a homelab for you, and figured I should show something nice on the screen. Then, I typed in my password like an idiot. Not gonna put that online. :(

That last pic is what you’d get if the author of Roller Coaster Tycoon made an airport simulator.

This sounds incredibly top-heavy for such a small company. The fact that you got micro-managed like that in such a rediculously small outfit is kind of unheard of, frankly. Usually small companies are the exact opposite, where there’s one owner/operator, the job titles are largely made-up, and everyone just gets everything done because there’s usually not enough expertise-hours to go around to solo every task.

Works great on 300 baud; not many editors can boast that. Also, if your programs are all under 2000 lines long.

Oh wow, that is so me. That had better be under… yep, ADHD… yeah, that’s in the right place.

It’s worse when this triggers life-long anxiety about missing future appointments.

Worse still is when you show up a week early by accident, because you had it wrong in the other direction.

I really don’t understand why.

Anti-Microsoft ideologues, mostly. Giving MS any quarter is antithetical to their chosen axe to grind. Pay them no mind.

Ah yes, my old frenemy: procrastinate until the anxiety mounts to near-panic, then ride the adrenaline through the hyperfocus tunnel all the way to “job’s done just before it’s too late” Town.

Wow. I didn’t realize this until you pointed it out. Thanks. TIL.
