You’d think I would have learned the keyboard shortcut by now, but no, I’m just really fast at opening the Character Map and copying it manually. I’ve found a number of useful symbols to add to my random comments & SMS messages in there. I’m just a regular μblogger, truly. If I spent ⅒ of the time I spend making random comments actually solving worthwhile problems, I’d be rich. Or happy. Or… something like that. C’est la vie. At least I know the difference between Unicode U+02D7, U+2010 – U+2015, U+2043, U+2212, and U+2E3A. There are more, but I really need sleep more than I need to find every horizontal line in all of Unicode.

Hilarious that DC appears to be the highest percentage on the map. 😐

I would add PairDrop to your list to have bookmarked. It’s completely web-based so no download required and thus fully cross-platform. It also works across different networks (i.e. over the internet) by pairing devices or creating a room. Basically Apple AirDrop, but universal and on steroids.

I wouldn’t think this would cause any data loss either, it just wouldn’t find your media or it would throw an error. Very alarmist indeed.

Much more tragic on average per occurrence, of course. But, I’d be willing to bet that the chance of falling down that slope is way higher than being hit, and thus the “average damage over time” is far greater for falls than collisions. People are really bad at comprehending risk. (See: dying from a shark attack or lightning strike being more common fears than dying from falling down the stairs.)

It feels wrong to reduce human lives to a numbers game, but that’s what traffic engineering is. If there’s a budget, it has to be a numbers game at some level.

I really hate that my demand avoidance is triggered by my own demands perhaps the most. 😑

The only situation this is relevant is if enterprise policy prevents you from installing Firefox. And even then, portable editions exist. So like… ¿¿¿por qué???

Only if you have the setting enabled to cycle in recently used order, otherwise it’s just in tab order. I don’t know why it isn’t on by default, it should be. Defaulting to a different behavior than Alt + Tab is not user-friendly IMO.

At first I interpreted that title to mean that WA’s toll road rates are determined in part by how many people have died on them within a certain time window, and I thought to myself “Damn, that’s a really morbid strategy. But, perhaps also strangely… effective?? Or at least one would think, but apparently not.”

The number of people in college that didn’t know Office has built-in citation management boggled me. Or how tab stops work. Or how to use fricking styles and page templates instead of setting everything manually (that one goes for PowerPoint as well).

…then again, most of them used Google Docs. sigh

It’s okay, we don’t feel bad for us either.

Seems more accurate anyway, it’s not like the concept of recycling even exists digitally. I understand why Windows did it way back when to raise awareness of recycling, but nowadays it’s just a bit silly.

I don’t think the ADHD necessarily gets worse, it’s more often that the consequences get worse.

I.e. the intensity of the disorder relative to a given set of stimuli doesn’t increase, but the average significance of the stimuli (and consequently the outcome of one’s reaction to them) does increase.

You could argue that’s a meaningless distinction, but perhaps it’s a helpful change in perspective for someone.

Be the change you want to see in the world yourself.

Fake it 'till you make it feel it.

Honestly, it always goes back to the seven deadly sins. In this case, I’d say greed and gluttony are most relevant.

Like @pathos said, that’s the list from the previous step. Because you’re autoremoving, it will only remove packages that aren’t dependencies of any other packages still installed.

For anyone reading this on a Debian-based system, you can get a good start without risking removing anything important like this:

1. Run apt-mark showmanual, and copy any package names you don’t think you need into a list.
2. Run apt-mark auto <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
3. Run apt autoremove

Just install the Auto Tab Discard extension. After a certain amount of time it will replace your loaded tab with a (RAM-free) placeholder that reloads when you click it again. Me, my ADHD brain, and my 500 tabs can be at peace now.

The critical difference is whether the DM says it with a frown or a grin.

I really got to thinking about this just the other day when I found that a Prosthetic Limb is a common magic item in D&D 5e. (Of course how common a common item is exactly is at DM’s discretion, but nevertheless.)
