I have one of these, too, and I’ve never been able to use it. Would if I could, it’s brilliant! But in my last flat it was too tall to fit under the cupboards, and in my current one it’s too wide to fir between them.
I have a dishwasher, but I use a dish dryer as a ‘pre-washer rack’ because my ADHD ass can never empty a clean dishwasher quick enough to avoid dirty dishes piling up. So the dryer rack keeps dishes from blocking the sink. Stupid problems sometimes require stupid solutions.
Half the problem with autism and adhd both is difficulty with habit formation and maintenance.
You don’t need habits. You need routines with reliable contextual triggers. They’ll fail from time to time and you will just have to be okay with that, and try to figure out exactly what made them fail when they do so maybe you can fix it going forward. But it will still occasionally fail.
You can’t make a sieve not leak without making it not a sieve.
I’m surprised that what seems to me to be the most obvious hypothesis isn’t covered. Until very recently, historically speaking, written and spoken language have been very clearly separated forms of language use.
With the advent of the internet, instant messaging, social media etc, the distinction has been gradually blurring in the sense that written language is being used more and more frequently for what would previously have been considered ‘spoken uses’.
We know spoken language mostly consists of shorter fragmented phrases compared to the longer complete sentences of the written word. It should not be surprising that as writing is increasingly used for ‘written speech’, regular writing will be influenced to move in the direction of the shorter phrasing of spoken language while otherwise maintaining the syntax and grammar rules of written language forms.
Always worth keeping in mind that the first rule of power is that it never surrenders itself willingly.
In this case, what that means is thatthe courts - supreme or not - will only go along with Trump’s power grab for as long as the belief that it furthers their own power prevails. And that belief is cracking.
It’s cracking way too late to stop the power grab from progressing further, but still.
Honestly, if we’re going to insist on this representative stuff that maintains a persistent hierarchy of power, it needs to be divorced from these kinds of influence channels. Becoming an MP should be an exclusive commitment. Once an MO, you should be barred from all other employment for a long time after leaving office.
We should all be more than happy to guarantee former MPs wages for that entire period, it would be a drop in the bucket of any national budget and would be a significant filter both to becoming an MP in the first place and to engaging in this kind of influence peddling as well.
If you had read Hannah Arendt’s work on totalitarian regimes (Origins of Totalitarianism) - focusing specifically on Nazi Germany and the USSR under Stalin - you would never think this. As she says, and I am paraphrasing here, the consequence of people always lying to you isn’t that you stop believing everything but rather that you end up capable of believing anything.
And I’m pretty sure that effect is on full display already.
Israel doesn’t give two shits about the hostages beyond their propaganda value. That much has been obvious since before day one to anyone willing to actually believe their eyes and ears.
Think these might be creationist penguins.
Windvane Lammy… if he’s leaning towards criticism now that suggests tensions are higher than I expected them to be.
Very high up on the list of worst persons in history.
Yeah one of my more… tech adventurous friends had the most insane series of security breaches (to out it mildly) potentially related to this and some other recent ridiculousness.
Nah that’s just in the pictured configuration. The baskets and all the accessories just hook onto the rack frame so you can move things around to whatever config you want. Do the dish baskets on top of each other and leave the ‘flatter’ bits (like the knife block) for over the actual sink, much better config. Thirty second job even with the dishes on them.
