It’s a sentence from the point of view of the person at the doctors (or of the original poster relating with that person) implying an imminent move to Canada.

Ah, das kommt aus Gotisch? Ich kenne das nur als Sample in „Sire Jonah - Das Duell“ und habe mich schon gefragt, aus welchem Spiel das Original stammt

You are correct, while rereading I also noticed that the essay is specifically talking about consumer debt. And for that it would probably not be helpful to ruin credit scores over a few hundred dollars, if one ever wanted to finance a house or something like that later in their life.

An interesting essay I read at some point: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/the-waste-stream-of-consumer-finance/

Especially the following sentence:

This effectively makes paying consumer debts basically optional in the United States, contingent on one being sufficiently organized and informed.

Now, I don’t know how risky that would be and whether it also applies to student debt, but the system seems to be pretty wild, to say the least.

Time to go back to the times you dabbled in gangsta rap and replace all street references with desert references. Don’t forget about the camel samples while you’re at it

Thanks for the insight, that’s pretty interesting. But yes, it does not sound like it would be worth the trade-offs, if one got the chance to choose

Afaik no one has ever been proven to have photographic memory (e.g. being able to remember random dots on an image is used as a test, if memory serves right). So for the most part it is just a nice little character trait for movies and the likes.

I noticed that a lot of people I know are significantly better at remembering some things, in this case numbers, but worse at other parts (e.g. conversations). So oftentimes its also a matter of what exactly you are good and bad at remembering.

Depending on the context, it also comes with experience. Think of games like chess, poker, etc. Experienced players are often able to replay an entire match, which in large part comes from their experience and the context of the many games they’ve played. If you met the same people in their first few matches, that ability would probably have been a lot less developed (if that makes sense).

No scientific backing on these statements, it’s just based on my personal experience and impressions.

That’s absolutely normal, especially as people tend to compare their general performance with their peak performance („I managed to play that without errors once, why am I not managing it every time?“).

You can do a number of things to improve your mental consistency within the limits of your current abilities by forming healthy habits around it, if it is very important. E.g. a balanced lifestyle of sorts and a good warmup routine when playing your instrument, but even then you will have off days.

If you want to nail that section consistently, you will have to increase your skill ceiling quite a bit, way beyond „nailing it once“. Usually you don’t notice that progress as much with instruments, because ideally the things you are working on are always challenging you at your current level, but try going back to something you played one or two years ago. You may have to refresh the piece until it sounds good again, but then you will probably be way more consistent about your performance than the first time around.

Rocket league is a completely different skill set, but the concepts apply in the same way. Structuring your life around being in ideal mental and physical condition to perform in a video game is probably a lot less useful for your life, but I’d bet every professional player does it.

Is that directly related to ADHD or just an independent character trait?

Out of curiosity, how does it feel for you to look at someone’s nose while they are looking in your eyes?

Possible issues with and solutions for selfhosting email is still infinitely more suitable for this community than advertisements for one of the many pay-to-use email providers. That does not mean this particular one is bad, this just isn’t the place for it.

It’s remarkable that you took the time to write this essay just to reply to that post. Thank you for the effort and your insights, it was very interesting to read and I’m glad I stumbled across it!

I would avoid it, if you care at all about availability and downtime. The result will probably not be great, you need to ensure the server side gets enough resources under load, and setting it up may require constant restarts if things aren’t immediately working as expected.

Nonetheless, here is a link where someone did essentially exactly that on NixOS: https://astrid.tech/2022/09/22/0/nixos-gpu-vfio/

A truly inspiring bench design, it got it all: A huge space to place ads, for life would be in vain without advertisements. Reinforced mountings to make sure no one carries them away. And of course the armrests that surely only exist, so good, law-abiding citizens can relax more comfortably and totally aren’t a some incompetent politician’s idea of what problem solving looks like.

Und Zack, schon ist die CDU die progressivere und relativ gesehen linke Partei, in der Tat ein Fiebertraum

They are a lot more likely to think about Windows, as they actively decided to avoid using it by moving to Linux. That is in stark contrast to the subset of Windows users that would never give it a second thought, as they are unaware of what an operating system even is, nevermind having an overview of which ones exist and what their respective advantages may be.

As others have mentioned, the primary issue here are the hardware requirements for Windows 11. The result are millions of PCs (I guess, definitely a lot though) that are fully functional from a technical point of view, but cannot run Windows 11 and should not run any other Windows due to the security implications of running unpatched software.

Der originale Kommentar bezog sich auf eine „vergütete“ Arbeitszeit, das habe ich jetzt als Vorschlag aufgefasst, so zu arbeiten als wäre sie vergütet und dafür pauschal weniger zu bekommen. Bei festem Stundenlohn bleibt man dann also insgesamt 8h und arbeitet davon nur 7,5h tatsächlich, dementsprechend gäbe das in dem Setting auch nur 15/16tel des ursprünglichen Gehalts.

Kann man so oder so lesen, vermutlich habe ich es falschrum interpretiert.

Tendenziell eher 15/16tel

Das glaube ich gerne, dass das an manchen Stellen beim Lesen weh tut
