  • This kind of highlights the difference between correlation and causation.

    The root cause of ADHD is not currently fully understood but it's unlikely that it's a vitamin B deficiency. People with ADHD also routinely have an iron deficiency in their brains during childhood -- which scientists theorize could be a contributing factor -- as well as a genetic anomaly, which appears to be hereditary. It's still not known if either of those things actually causes ADHD. Unfortunately, by the time symptoms are present, the damage is already done.

    Taking vitamin B supplements won't necessarily hurt any but I don't know that it would help much either, outside of giving you an energy boost.

  • Yes. Washing isn't that hard on them. Hang dry only. Putting them in the clothes dryer is what causes them to shrink and wear out faster.

    I have a few pairs of jeans that are probably ten years old and have been washed many times that still look nice.

  • Tesla originally had some star power because they were doing things that traditional automakers claimed were impossible. A litany of poor engineering decisions and Elon showing his true colors have worn off any remaining novelty.

  • A contributing factor in all of this is that US manufacturers have spent the better part of the last 30 years turning their engineering departments into glorified parts replacers. A complaint I have heard from nearly every electrical/electronics engineer that I've known is that "We don't design things anymore. Now we just spend most of our time trying to find replacements for chips that we can no longer get."

    From what I can tell, from my very limited perspective, there has been a significant lack of investment in engineering capabilities and a resulting lack of innovation for a long time. As usual, short term thinking is expensive in the long run. We're only just beginning to find out how expensive.

  • Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.

    The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.

  • “The Taliban used to be free of restrictions, but now we sit in one place, behind a desk and a computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Life’s become so wearisome; you do the same things every day.” -- Some dude with the Taliban

  • Do yourself a favor and don't stick with these kind of employers. I've only worked for one company where I had to routinely send CYA emails. Should have resigned the second I figured out that the CEO was morally bankrupt and my boss was a spineless jackass who refused to stand up to him. I don't miss that job one bit.
