    I just had a related experience. I've been out of a medication for a bunch of days, and today i finally was able to get myself to call the doctors office to ask for a refill. The receptionist in a tone told me "ok but you shouldn't wait till you're out of meds to ask for a refill, you should call in the refill when you're down to 5 pills left." Arg. As if needing to call in a refill hadn't been nagging on my mind daily for a month.

    TBF she didn't know i have adhd, but still. It took a lot of restraint to just tell her "ok" instead of giving her a long explanation of the struggles i deal with.

    No, its pretentious and not understandable to a huge percent of people. Exactly how the movie is according to all reviews. It doesn't matter if the technical meaning of the phrase is applicable or not. It's an obviously bad title for a mass market movie. For an art film showing at indie theaters it would be ok, but for a mass market film it's a horrible title that screams "this movie is cringe!"

  • Set goals, and you don't reach. Your high stop until them.

    That's bad advice anyway.

    1. Set reasonably attainable goals, then once you've accomplished it set a new reasonably attainable goal.

    2. Frequently reassess whether the goal you originally set is still actually the goal you most want to be pursuing. Sometimes you set a goal and at some point later realize it isn't worth it or will never actually succeed, in which case you're much better off abandoning that goal so you can instead pursue a goal that will actually succeed.

    Exactly. That's the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you're interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.

    A single dna molecule is too small to see with the naked eye, but a few million dna molecules released from a few million microbes is easy to see IRL. In my bio lab days we did an experiment to isolate the dna molecules from a scoop of microbes, and at the end you wind up with a clump of dna molecules that together are about the size of an eraser head.

    And yeah as the other person said, the term "staining" is the official term used for what you're calling "tagging"

    I called it based on only ever hearing the title. You have to have made a ton of bad choices to wind up at a place where that title seems like a good idea

    In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions

    When this thing flies back to earth autonomously i hope it either goes perfectly or totally disintegrates, because right now it's in the weird gray area of "is it an unsafe vehicle or are the issues just normal kinks to work out"

    Lots of natural phenomena only happen a single time per object, and lots of phenomena that do happen multiple times per object can go eons between those events, and lots of objects in space are moving incredibly quickly so they aren't in the same place as before, and many objects rotate so they aren't facing the same direction as they were before

    I think this graph doesn't have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the "tech trigger" slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.

    I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After "tech trigger" there needs to be "real world applications". Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

    In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can't get over the big first step, then it can't proceed on to any secondary steps
