One reason non-ADHD'ers have trouble understanding ADHD is because they never adequately consider executive dysfunction.

They'll say "if you want to, you would," but a lot of times we desperately want to, and we still can't

Some of the biggest ADHD struggles are often getting ourselves to do the things we desperately want to do.

Here's a rebranding idea, Department of Peace, Love and Global Harmony.

If Reeves is going to change the message about risk and investing in the stock market for the general public, then there needs to be education about risk, so that people don't misunderstand the message and take up more risk than they should.

The stock market is all about risk and its management, but it takes intelligence and a good few years to really understand this. You don't just take your life savings out of the building society and throw them at the stock market.

This would be great for UK companies and professional investors, but not so good for 'working people'.

Currently settling at a target of 1 mile swim 3 times a week.

Tablets were going to make textbooks obsolete. Kids are still carry books in backpacks.

Cloud storage was going to make local storage obsolete, and here I am with more external drives than ever.

AI is going to make humans obsolete, so where will I be in ten years? Still here, I suspect.

If a human writes something they are smart enough to recognise that they wrote it. The same should be expected of AI, so that plagiarism software can ask did you write this?

Before Spotify, we used the library to borrow music.

Feeling good that I've built my swimming back from a couple of laps to 2 km in the pool this morning.

@sdarlington yeah love is used a lot in Kent, not unusual to be called it at the supermarket checkout. I steer well clear, even mate and pal I wouldn't use except in an ironic way.

@sdarlington welcome to 2025, we've been expecting you ... babes.

@mattiem It has some convenience as a search engine where I want to combine multiple searches into one (Gemini and ChatGPT), but every attempt to have it write code or provide detailed explanation falls at the first hurdle for me. And even in its search role I have to stay alert to get info I can trust. Ask it to code a simple retro game, then think about how likely it is that the same software could write secure code to publish on the internet. It just takes more time fixing than writing from scratch.

With zero first-hand evidence that ChatGPT can write a single piece of working code, I'll be giving the $200 sub a miss. I really hope people without a clue don't think they can code without any effort for two and a half grand a year. There will be tears. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/technology/openai-codex-programming-tool.html

What's a spaceman's favourite game? Astro-noughts and crosses.

Pretty sick and tired of OneDrive for Mac, it just wants to drain all bandwidth. Why can't it just play nice?

@sdarlington 👏

@sdarlington I'm quite interested in reading the lazy person's guide to housework though.

@sdarlington yeah, they're obviously confused.
