I also have ADD. I'm untreated since it's kinda expensive and my job is easy enough to not need to be. I'm glad that ADD/ADHD is more accepted now because I remember when the idea some people have problems focusing was i

Oh yeah I had family that did something similar. They did that whole thing where you bid on abandoned storage lockers. They actually did quite well considering how you can't rummage through everything prior to bidding. Made a small pro

Isn't it like a cultural thing over there where you're expected to work overtime and essentially kill yourself for your company? Might be dated info but I remember someone saying nobody even thinks about going home before the boss

Huge problem in the creative fields. Almost everyone is super hyped that someone finally likes their work enough that they actually want it, let alone actually want to pay for it. So they undervalue their work and sell it for peanuts. I som

Stephen King also wrote the short scifi story The Jaunt which is similar. Basically a scientist makes a stargate type of device. Nonliving things that go through end up fine but living things like mice would either immediately just die or g

Give almost any local news website a shot. Those things are so bad I think long and hard before clicking.

My dad is/was a ham. My experience growing up with ham radio in the house was so negative that it's just kinda a turn off for me. Going back to the early 90s, for a lot of those old boomer types ham was mostly just a way to out-do

It's funny because I went back to school but worked as the printer guy within an IT dept for about 5 years before deciding to go back to school. Our dept kept going back and forth on what video conferencing we should use for our meeti

>He only joined in 2012, so that's an average of ~22.8 answers per day, every day, for the last 3144 days. Hope that's not his real name because if it is his boss might think he needs more work to do.

Did doordash for a few weeks and discovered that this is exactly how the dashers in the community that made "okay" money operated. They turn down deliveries that didn't pay a certain amount and would sit in their car doing no

If you're suffering just get the single tube and look for a dual tube unit some time in the future. Singles aren't as great but they still do the job well enough that you're not dying from the heat. I went years without any

what I hate are those tiny change nooks sewn into the right trouser pocket so it's like a pocket within a pocket. In theory they're fine except I always put my keys into my right pocket because I'm right handed. My keys will

I've used a sticker from a banana for years on my work phone. I'm weird though, I'm one of those people that needs to have their arm twisted to use their camera.

With all these clever people coming up with products to solve problems only to have it not sell well makes me think the best idea is to just open a bodega or dry cleaners or something.

I bet they used a micro usb cable. Sometimes those things can be so janky my phone won't charge unless you kinda fold them and rest the phone on it a certain way.

If I had the money I'd secretly get employed at startups I was interested in to see if they were just a bunch of jokers or not. I'd do this is because if I were that rich then I probably won the lottery and stupidly quit my job wi

So I might look silly here but what I do is take a snip of the displayed picture and save and use that. Was I doing it wrong? All I was really concerned about was getting rid of metadata tied to my phone.

Not limited to New York but I think it would be interesting to see if this experience showed companies how much of their staff can work from home. And if it creates a new work from home trend for a whole new class of workers that weren

How about fooling the APS into firing at duds until its munitions are depleted and then shooting a rocket? Like a series of high caliber, slower moving projectiles made out of something super radar reflective at reflective angles?
