I was chatting with a friend and tried to convey how crippling a really bad day (for me at least) can be. I needed tangible examples that really drive the point home. So I started making a list....
Gaslighting is actually pretty close in terms of what short term memory issues are like. Except you can never be sure if it's just ADHD brain, or something is actually different.
Since they're born from the horse end, they could have horse like gestation. So they can probably hang out in the womb about 2 months longer. Not a huge difference for humans. However if we're assuming they are a product of evolution, it would stand to reason that they could have accelerated growth compared to humans. Add in that centaurs are generally omnivorous, you get a higher density of nutrients consumed. It's possible that the longer gestation, plus more nutrient dense diet, plus some evolutionary shenanigans (centaurs maybe did have toddler heads and horse bodies, but those just died out), they could end up being born with enough back and neck strength to keep themselves upright.
But we're also talking about centaurs so the answer is probably fuckin magic I guess
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
A lighthearted and colorful Soulslike RPG with actual multiplayer. I want to run around in a BotW/TotK style world and go adventuring with friends, while still feeling like the combat is challenging. I want to be able to head into a dangerous dungeon with friends and not be sure we'll make it out, while having a more storybook fantasy vibe. Too many game opt for gritty apocalypse worlds. The recent Zeldas show that you don't need to go grimdark to have a compelling fantasy world, while still retaining a save the world vibe.
Especially since it already has party mechanics built in. Why can't they just swap out pawns for your friends? I get it wouldn't really fit the story, but that can be handwaved.
The Artemis app is in beta and it's looking pretty promising. Definitely still some bugs, but the UI is dead simple and easy to customize. Switching to a subbed only view works well too. The official mag is m/artemisapp
The game is actually very close to what it promised initially. Obviously some things just aren't possible (you can't open every door to every building unfortunately) but cyberpunk has really come into it's own in the past few years. Not to mention that Phantoms Liberty is going to essentially be a soft relaunch along with a whole new story and world map. I'd say it's at least worth a couple more hours of trying it out.
Hi, this sounds like a dumb question, but how should I “get into” coffee? Most of the time, I just use a Keurig and whatever pods I find at Costco. I know there’s an entire world out there of people who know exactly what they’re doing, but it’s all quite confusing....
Pour-over is generally speaking, the closest to what most people think of when they hear coffee. There's tons of articles and youtube channels to help you decide on the exact one you want, but the V60 is hard to miss with. Getting filters that fit is cheap and they should be at any grocery store. A hand grinder is the next investment, and there's tons to choose from. Generally the Hario ceramic coffee grinder is a good choice. Beans is where things get truly interesting. Go to some local shops, and try a cup. If you like it, ask if they sell it. If they do, boom done. Take it home and start dialing in your grind size and ratio. If they don't, no worries because you can still try another place and another cup.
At the end of the day look for a coffee that you enjoy amd is easy to make. Don't let anyone tell you what the "right" way to enjoy coffee is. Some coffee I drink black, but most I add a touch of cream and sugar. I like to try new coffee from different shops and origins, some find a bean they love and stick to it. Coffee is 100% about preference.
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
I tried using it for a few months and just kept getting wildly inaccurate predictions. It wasn't any faster or easier so I just continue typing normally. Plus the multi-language recognition isn't good enough in my experience.
This is a bit of a spoiler, but the guy who mentions Musk is actually from the evil mirror universe. So the second guy from the mainline universe is confused as to why Musk is on that list. He was probably a bigger figure in the mirror universe.
I’m interviewing for a night shift position in a couple days and I’ve always worked 8-4 or 9-5. I’m a little scared of the idea though! I’m worried about seeing my family less because my sleep schedule will be totally different than theirs....
I personally love working nights. I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I am actively worse at things the earlier I wake up. Conversely my brain feels clearer and more active after 10pm.
That being said, my social life is almost entirely online. I rarely go out IRL. I sleep like a rock and only need about 6 hours anyway.
If you are someone who needs to talk to people, has trouble sleeping during the day, or requires a lot of sleep, the night shift is likely not for you.
I wasn't able to get it checked out earlier in my adult life due to being a independent contractor for so long (american healthcare.... yay). Now though, I've got the time and the insurance to cover everything. It's actually a relief to know that it's not just me being incompetent....
I'm waiting for an appointment with my psychiatrist to talk about what would work. Hopefully in 2 weeks I'll start and I can begin the process of dialing in a dosage.
When I first realized that ADHD was a potential cause, it was like a light turned on. I watched some videos on symptoms to see if it lined up. Let me tell you, it is surreal hearing strangers describe your life to you. Glad he could get it addressed.
For me its when someone tells me to bring them something. If i try to find something that i need, i will find it really quickly. If someone is asking me to find something for them in a room, it is like i become blind and even if its in front of me, it is really hard to find it.
I made a realization about why it's so frustrating to explain ADHD to neurotypical people.
