A spectacular sight 1225m (4019 ft) beneath the waves off Baja California as E/V Nautilus encounters the amazing Halitrephes maasi jelly.

There are often accusations; but where is the actual proof?
@mariaisquixotic
Which got me looking about for somewhere where the government is not run by thieves.
Then thinking about how some people in rich nations might as well be living in a third world country and others in third world countries are living in palaces. And then how there are people living in palaces because governments are run by thieves.
Then I told myself to stop thinking!
And when you train Russian dogs to explode none-Russian tanks, but all you have to practice on is Russian tanks... Which I think illustrates your point perfectly.

I can't remember where I saw it, but it really helps when you look at financial numbers when you remember that, no matter how similar they sound, the difference between £1m and £1bn is (basically) £1bn.
£1bn is to £1m as £100 is to 10p.
Ooo, thank you. Sherlock, I do like Sherlock.
Drs office tho? It's a grotto. Get up, walk about, read the info posters on the wall, think vicious thoughts about anyone called in before you are, decide which disease they've all got...

@jennyadams @adhdasiangirl here are a million little Sherlock-like puzzles to solve. "I wonder why that guy is getting only broccoli and pop-tarts" or "The underground gas tanks must be THERE, which isn't where the fire extinguishers point, so I wonder what happens when..."
The boring thing is when you are stuck somewhere where those are all used up. At home, for a long time anywhere, bland dr office, etc.
I'd really welcome some way to deal with queuing at the supermarket or putting fuel in the car.
Excellent move! @adhdasiangirl
I've managed to convince myself that a housework break is a reward for computer work. And it sorta isn't a lie. 5 mins wiping something is a pleasant break from clickety clack on a keyboard yes?

Tricking myself to clean II: While I am waiting for things to microwave (you know how boring that two minutes of waiting time could be), I unload the dishes/load dirty dishes. Once I get started and make solid progress, I am much more inclined to finish the cleaning task.
It's the #adhd at least I think it is, that means I let people down, I'm slow at getting things done you know?
This person and that poking me with virtual sticks to get this done and that done and I'm working hard as I can you know?
I'm trying to come to terms with backlogs and messages wondering where this and that is.
Am I alone?
@adhdcanadian I'm no Masto-expert, but I think I read to save server space, just link to a video held on youtube or wherever. I did try to find the post I saw, but failed.

Could I tempt you to boost this post, or get involved in a project to customise Linux for users with special needs/learning difficulties? I have two such children. Adults now (18). I want to do something for my boys and for people like them. 🙂❤️
I've already done a bit, using Ansible, with AlmaLinux and Ubuntu: https://github.com/robpomeroy/BrightOS
Please spread the word - I'm sure someone out there would love to get involved!

199sommat nobody at work appreciated we need to backup the computer. So I was the one who sat loading floppies in and out of the machine every night.
It also took us a whole afternoon to work out how to set the office digital clock.
