Just replace Milo with an immigrant neighbor or a woman on the run from domestic abuse and the ad gets much darker!

Well, I wouldn't call it's premium. Unlocked is closer to MSRP, whereas carrier locked is being subsidized by the carrier and whatever requirements they have in place. You'll usually end up paying more in the long run then if you went with unlocked and a MVNO.

Saved this. My doggo is nearly 15 and whole he's still healthy I am much too afraid of losing him. I suspect I'll need a reminder like this in the future.

My city is fairly large and their recreational projects usually have budgets in the 10s of millions. I don't think there is much I can do on that front. That being said, I think this question could be better framed as "to make your community a better place to live". From that angle, I would have to get in touch with my HOA (I know) and see about opening a community garden with that initial investment.

Going by their comment history, Germany.

Copilot / LLM code completion feels like having a somewhat intelligent helper who can think faster than I can, however they have no understanding of how to actually code, but are good at mimicry.

So it's helpful for saving time typing some stuff, and sometimes the absolutely weird suggestions make me think of other scenarios I should consider, but it's not going to do the job itself.

I don't think it was designed to imply that. None of the language appears to steer the viewer to a specific conclusion, letting the viewer interpret it for themselves.

That being said, I would agree that the data itself represents both access to mental health care and culture (specifically, if that culture has a stigma against it).

I think some of the larger countries are not really useful in the dataset though. I'm curious how say, California and say, Alabama, would look in the dataset.

As a software developer, more frequently than I'd like. Pouring a couple weeks into an epic only to see the entire thing scrapped... At least I got paid.

Happens with personal projects too sometimes, I'll start refactoring and decide at the end of the weekend I really don't want to waste me next weekend on it and it'll go to the archives lol.

But even in those cases, not entirely worthless. I still learned and grew my knowledge. Same applies to similar scenarios not related to writing code.

Not sure if you can use this to explain it to them, but I've always liked this:

A true ELI5 on how this actually affects people is 'ICNU': Interest, Challenge, Novelty, and Urgency. If something doesn't meet one of those four categories, someone with ADHD just isn't going to be able to do it. Let's use doing the dishes as an example--is it interesting? Not even slightly. Challenging? Not really. Novel? Nah. Urgent? Not yet--but once that person with ADHD actually needs clean dishes, then it gets done, because it now meets one of those four criteria. In that sense, putting things off until the very last second is essentially a coping mechanism for ADHD, rather than a symptom of it itself.

I also like this one:

Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly forgotten what exactly it was that you went in there for? It seems to be a phenomenon that most people can empathize with. Now imagine that same thing happening but with practically everything you do. If I put the oven on and don't keep my focus consciously on the cooking - say I go into the other room to grab something - chances are high I'll just totally forget I ever put the oven on until I smell something burning. If something catches my attention as I'm getting out of my car in a parking lot I might end up leaving the keys in the unlocked vehicle and not realizing until I get back out of the store (that's happened more than once). If my boss gives me a task and I don't immediately write it down on the list I keep beside me, I will forget in an instant not only what it was I was asked to do, but that I was even ever asked to do something in the first place. In a way it's like having a faulty short term memory.

If you've ever seen the Matt Smith episodes of Doctor Who - the villains called "The Silence" are an incredibly accurate analogy for what ADD is like for me. They are terrifying creatures but if you look away from them even for an instant, you forget they were ever there.

I realize this just makes me sound flighty or spacey to a fault, which I guess in a way is what ADD is. I think everyone exists on a spectrum of attention. For most people the odd flighty moment is the norm - the walking into a room and forgetting what you were going in there for, or the driving home from work and realizing you can't recall the drive at all - but ADD sufferers are at the much more extreme end of this spectrum

Long ago at my first job I worked as IT in a warehouse. This story involves two employees, Retired and Pretender.

Retired is a retired U.S. marine, working in shipping, he also had permission from the owner to open carry in the office and warehouse.

Pretender was in sales and is kind of a tool who had to do all the cool things everyone else was. Three of us had motorcycles and would go on day rides. Pretender found out and less than a week later he had a motorcycle and wanted to join us (without a license). He sucked, and there are a few other examples but aren't the topic of this story.

Pretender overheard me and a coworker talking about the guns we had. Needing to fit in, he said he'd bring his to work tomorrow and wouldn't answer when we said he didn't have to and just to tell us the model. Sure enough, next day he wants to show us this obviously new gun that he obviously had no training or common sense for

We played along and then went about our day. Later on, we hear Retired and Pretender in a pretty heated argument as they walk past our cubicles. Then apparently Pretender walked to his car with Retired in tow, and reached into his car and grabbed his gun.

Retired (peacefully) put a stop to it, the owner came out to figure out wtf was going on, fired Pretender on the spot and let him retrieve his belongings before seeing him off. He also called in the non emergency line and had an officer come over to put a police report on file. Unsurprisingly, the officer used an older mugshot to confirm it he had the right character.

What were they arguing about you might wonder? Pretender was telling Retired how to package an order for shipping, Retired worked in shipping for years and was having none of it. A few months later the owner got a call from the state saying Pretender filed for unemployment and to confirm the reason he was laid off, with he had listed as "downsizing". We had a laugh over that.

TL:DR: moron coworker drew a gun on a retired marine why open carried and fortunately didn't die, but he did get fired.
