I was thinking the same thing! I was looking all through the repo and site to see if they had any pictures of the apps running, or a setup using the device. To me, this is the easiest way to sell your project and show how cool it is!
Airlines will run the aircraft as long as possible. As another commenter mentioned, if an aircraft isn't in flight, it's in maintenance. All of these times it's on.
My wife was diagnosed with ADHD when she was very young, and this rise of people believing they have ADHD is something we talk about a lot. We think most of this comes from social media and ADHD memes. Many of the memes touch on things that are connected with being ADHD, but are more so just things that are human or are about living in the modern age with distractions and entertainment. People connect with these memes, and then have something that they can blame for when they forget to do the laundry or get distracted doing the dishes.
Like dexwiz says, we are not machines! And I think with the rise of social media and these relatable memes, it provides the perfect scapegoat for the distraction that is modern life.
Not everybody was spotted and diagnosed at a young age. We can safely assume that a genetic condition like ADHD is evenly distributed through the population, hence we must assume that about 5% of adults of every single age-cohort are ADHD. I'd love to see data on the age-distribution of actual diagnosed adults, I'm sure we'd see a lot less than 5% for the older adults.
You can go a long way with undiagnosed ADHD but it will always hold you back. There's 60+ pensioner in the local self-help-group, he doesn't use the internet and uses and old Nokia. He was give a leaflet and after that a pill by a friend (don't do this!) and for the first time his mind cleared. He finished uni when he was young but never achieved much, never started a family; now is a few weeks away from a diagnosis and medication that will change his life. He wasn't the only one diagnosed as an adult in the group and it took me 42 years to figure that it's my mind working against me.
My apologies but I'd like to carve out the ADHD medication here saying that most people are misinformed. The same lawyer who did the "big tobacco" and "asbestos" lawsuits pushed the big Ritalin thing. They filed several class actions and all of them were shut down hard in court, which might have been a surprise to them given their previous success. The sleazy lawyers never undid the damage.
My conspiracy theory is ADHD meds conflict with the law industry's whole "ambulance chasing" business. They don't want people to drive safe on their meds so they don't fix it. It's probably just laziness because the law industry being overpaid and scummy pretend legal system failed to self-regulate their professionals.
I come from Michigan, and have found that the two fastest ways people identify me are 1) calling fizzy soft drinks "pop" and 2) that I add an "s", e.g. King Sooper's or Meijer's.
Spain also has a hugely different energy market than the United States. Spain is around 5% of the size of the US, being closer to a state in our context. Different states have different climates, making them more aligned with different energy sources. It doesn't make sense to compare the US and Spain in this context.
> We are at 20% nuclear,
Doesn't this prove the parent comment's point, that the best mix of energy is renewables supplemented by a base of nuclear power?
> Get down your "education" horse and solve your own problems first, asuming you are from the USA
This feels unnecessary. Spain has done an amazing job building an energy base, let's talk about how we can export to different countries and climates instead of putting people down.
This is true also for books. Adding things like sprayed edges, pretty hardcovers, and higher quality materials turns the items into more collectibles, things to show off to friends or decorate a home with instead of hide away.
I've been listening to the GI crew's podcast for a long time. After the last big round of layoffs, I started listening to MinnMax, which was started by a group of the people who got laid off. This and so many other outlets getting shut down really shows that the surest way to stay afloat is to be independent. Pretty soon, it's going to be the only way to get games media, ironically, going back to the very start of the medium.
One book that was helpful for me after my dad died was Garson Kieler's book "Good Poems for Hard Times" [1]. It's a beautiful anthology of poems that helps with working through life, loss, and grief. Each time I open it, a different poem speaks to me and has helped me grapple not only with my loss, but with my own life.
