ADHD is a disease. You have to go to a doctor to get diagnosed with it. You have to take medicine to be treated for it. It's studied by medical schools and described in the DSM. It's genetic and terminal, so the medicine never heals you, unfortunately. It sucks, I know, but it is definitely a disease. No, you can't "catch" it, but you can't "catch" Type 1 diabetes either. That is also genetic and terminal.

No, that symbol means "element of"

Denotes set membership, and is read "is in", "belongs to", or "is a member of". That is, x ∈ S means that x is an element of the set S.

Yes, this reads as either "let n be an element of the natural numbers" or more simply "let n be natural"

Ok, even if there was a guy named Jesus (which, like, there were thousands; that name was super popular at the time), this guy wasn't god. The meme says the bible is their proof that god exists, not that some guy named Jesus existed.

Like yeah, I mean it sounded like a joke, but it's really fucking serious. I've submitted nearly 1,000 resumes, have had maybe three or four interviews from that, and they've all been like kthanxbye.

So, full disclosure, my wife did it for me since I just can't, and I don't know what it looks like.

My dog's groomer now requires you to make an account on their website in order to schedule an appointment. Considering switching groomers.

That makes sense

300 hours? What did you install?

Edit: nm, didn't see the community name at first

Yeah, Gentoo builds everything from source. Supposed to make it faster, but I didn't notice enough of a difference to make it worth my while.

For me, my first exposure to Linux was around that same time, but with SuSE. It's still my go-to distro, even though I've installed and used dozens of different ones. Compiling Gentoo over a weekend is a fun experience at least once.

Not certain, I haven't installed red hat in several years.

 

"Impedance matching is one of the perpetual confusions for new electronics students, and for good reason: the idea that increasing the impedance of a circuit can lead to more power transmission is frighteningly unintuitive at first glance. Even once you understand this, designing a circuit with impedance matching is a tricky task, and it’s here that [Ralph Gable]’s introduction to impedance matching is helpful."
