Based on the video for that song, the band was unaware of this.

I stopped watching TV a few years ago. It wasn't a conscious choice. I just didn't find it interesting.

I do still follow current events. There are much better sources of information than TV news.

I'm sure that the "three months of work" was completely shit code. Anybody who is unfamiliar with source control (or even backups!) is prone to making stupid mistakes. Republican voters are likely to have a similar experience over the next 4 years.

In the article refers to "cops" and "feds". The overall tone of the writing sounds like a high school student wrote it.

Exactly. Some of them may actually be cops. They always get some number of facists.

I'll second PARA. It works well for me. I used it as an organizing principle in my notes and todo software.

Things that I have found useful:

  • MENDS as a routine, as often as I can remember (meditation, exercise, nature, diet, sleep)
  • Mind mapping to take notes and reorganize / review it often (I use XMind)
  • Keeping searchable notes (I use Joplin, but OneNote and Evernote work too)
  • Using the above as part of an organization system (look up GTD and "building a second brain")
  • Microdosing psilocybin
  • Get your hormone levels checked - if they're outside the normal range, it can exacerbate ADHD

Good luck! It has been a multi-year journey for me, but a successful one.

Use a little salt substitute on your food. It's potassium salt instead of sodium, and contains a lot more of it than those completely worthless pills.

The general election is two weeks away. What are people voting for in Georgia today?

They could have, but that doesn't mean that Starlink couldn't do a lot more to catch them at it. You're making excuses for a fascist.

Are you saying that geolocation of a starlink unit is difficult from the starlink satellite network? That seems unlikely to me.

Starlink has no reason outside sanctions to give a fuck where their payments are coming from

Do you see a moral dimension to this? Keeping technology out of the hands of an aggressor state is an excellent reason. I think that many people feel that because corporate entities behave like criminal organizations (indifferent to anything other than maximizing their own profits) that this is somehow OK. It isn't, and normalizing isn't acceptable either.

I was curious about why all of the authors of a study from Oxford University seem to have Chinese names. I didn't find any of their names in a search of Oxford's staff, either.

I have no idea what this means, but maybe the study was actually conducted elsewhere using data from the UK? Maybe there are just a ton of graduate students from China at Oxford in their life sciences program? I'm not insinuating any sinister, it just seems odd and I was trying to understand why.
