Same thing happened with OCD as well. It’s just natural changes in language. This one will pass as well and there will be a new word in a few years

You are going to find all the info you want on YouTube, but one thing most people don’t mention is that make sure the ergonomics of your working station are good. The worst part about sharpening knives is the shoulder and back pain from bending over on a kitchen counter. See if you can use a table and chair to sharpen instead. To avoid making a mess, put your Whetstone on a large baking tray.

I am good! Instagram is just for looking at tattoos, so I barely use it.

AI is funded solely by sunk cost fallacy at this point. I wonder how long it will be before investments start getting pulled back because of a lack of ROI. I can already feel the sentiment towards AI and it getting pushed in everything turning negative amongst consumers recently.

A hammock chair! Totally 100% worth it

I have two gaming PCs, a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and a Steam Deck. If gaming is not your thing, I am a coffee snob, so I can entertain you with my coffee brewing gear or we can dial in different roasts together.

If even coffee is not your thing, I am also a hobbyist woodworker, so maybe we can build something together.

If all else fails, you can play with my dog, relax in one of my 3 hammocks, mess with my cats, we can go ultralight backpacking, you can play the piano, we can make scented candles or soaps, or I can teach you programming. I also have lots of books!

Welcome to my ADHD life!

I agree, but time and time again, it has been proven that banning people from somewhere on the internet is not the right way of doing things. It makes them want to get in even more. Especially with teenagers who are going through a rebellious phase while building their identity. It should be on the parents to educate their children better and set parental controls (if needed) at home.

I think it’s specifically American Shorthairs

Haha I am pretty sure it’s used just for tabbies.

Haha it’s the same for me with my ADHD. I have way too many hobbies and some of them are very expensive (e.g., woodworking and coffee). I found that it’s not that I lose interest in my hobbies, it’s just that as time goes on, it becomes harder to ignore inconveniences in hobbies. If I try to fix those inconveniences as much as possible and keep learning new things, I don’t really lose interest. E.g., with my current espresso basket, the fit is so poor that knocking the puck out also knocks out the basket. This minor inconvenience could lead me to quit making espresso unless I just simply get a new basket.

It definitely could have changed things signicantly. There’s a lot of research out there for correlations between learning music instruments at a young age and brain development. Your life could have gone in a completely different direction as a result of learning an instrument.

The problem is first getting past the hurdle of defining what mind is and how consciousness works. Hell, we still don’t know much about our brain at all. Most of our mental health medications were found as a result of unexpected side effects. The brain is too complex and risky for us to understand easily, and to go into the metaphysical world of consciousness would be even more challenging. I am more interested in the consciousness uploading part of possibilities. This will 100% be abused by corporations, but in theory, you could be “alive” in virtual worlds even after the death of your physical body. We could be in one right now and not be aware of it. Once we come to a conclusion on the philosophical questions, we can then look into the physical and psychological.

Although I don’t have one that’s smart, I have researched enough into electric toothbrushes to know that this title is exaggerating. The app is just to store your brushing information. People like tracking data about themselves as it helps with positive reinforcement. The app just allows you to see your analytics much like an app to count your steps or activity levels. It in no way “disables” your brushing experience.

It’s already been 2 years?? Damn

I don’t dislike LLMs, I dislike people who treat them as anything more than an advanced search engine and stupidly give them all their confidential data. Seen it happen too much at work.

It’s just chemicals discovered on this planet that are usually produced biologically on Earth. This doesn’t mean there’s life on that planet. It could just mean that there are other methods of producing these chemicals other than biologically. Some scientists aren’t even sure that these are the correct chemicals. Planet (124 LY) is too far away to send a probe, so it will all be through calculation.

The first building looks like it’s a female connector for a high throughput cable of some kind.
