@Draven That's still better than those dumb side post batteries that GM used. I guess a Millennial has better wiring than a GM product. Maybe there's hope for my generation.

I think I am the only person I ever met who can intentionally choose to forget a memory. I do it all the time, when I want to forget something that is unpleasant I can just forget it... I cant remember a specific instance mind you, but I'm sure I've done it :)

PSychological Egoism, and altruism are the same things... prove me wrong.
@freemo I think Altruism is action whereas the other one is perhaps a similar idea. It's like theoretical vs applied.
Maybe they are both the same and different. You might be correct and on to something deeper.

The flipside of craving stimulation as an ADHD person is that other people want it too.
How are YOU interesting?
@thor I'm annoying, have anxiety disorders and crave approval but forget that I often have problems with authority figures.
Maybe I have redeeming features but sometimes I feel like I am the problem and that the world would be better without me. Rationally I will admit that I am not important enough to actually make a difference either way.
I also collect padlocks.
@thendrix That is rather odd.

Sometimes, my gut responds to alcohol by simply saying "No, I won't be having any more of that. You've had too much of it lately."
Small sip of wine and irritation is instant, followed by dehydration. I have to drink water like a camel.
I didn't drink much when I was younger. My coping mechanism then was junk food. I cut off access to that by having gastric bypass surgery.
That worked fine until about 4 years ago. There was a period of extreme stress that I didn't handle too well, and alcohol became a coping mechanism for me at that point, since I couldn't eat junk to feel better anymore.
Controlling feelings has always been an issue for me. It's why I have so often cut myself off from people. Early childhood experiences taught me that humans are nasty creatures that will hurt you.
Normal little boys are loud and noisy things that move fast and subject anyone out of the ordinary to violence and harassment. It probably unnerves them, so they seek to eliminate the threat.
Adults can be a bit like that too, if they've never been exposed to a variety of people from different backgrounds. Life in a remote small town can be brutal like that. It's one of the reasons I don't romanticise the countryside too much, and why I always felt a little depressed whenever I went back there for Christmas.

@thor It's essentially routine maintenance using precision explosions. It's pretty interesting but not cool military stuff. It's a job that's in demand and I have experience.
It's pretty lame but that's still pretty cool when explosives are involved.
@thor Hopefully I will be working with explosives in the near future. There are a lot of exciting opportunities with explosives. If I simply said that I would be using ANNM to blast buildup loose from large equipment.

@thendrix I can't tell for certain but it would appear that pupil dilation is not normal.

Oh, I didn’t remember this… 4070 TI SUPER is going from 192 to 256 bus width. Based.
@thendrix It's so cringe when pipelines are in non zero equivalence groups for N Mod 128 where N is the number of bits.
