ADHD is a brain/neurological disorder that has a wide range of symptoms, including memory issues. I can't tell you exactly why we have trouble remembering names but I am 100% certain that it's not because you're a bad or self-centered person.

You've gotta give yourself a little grace. Living with with ADHD is hard and you can't just power through it, any more than someone missing a leg can run marathons.

I sometimes have difficulty remembering people's names. Even people I have known for years.
It's really frustrating when you suddenly see someone you know very well and can't more than a "Hey! ...you" out only for their name to immediately pop into your head about 30 seconds after the conversation is over and you're walking away.

You want me to pay bills? On time? Best I can do is rack up late fees.

For real. At least half the time a native app isn't even necessary. Just offer a high quality mobile experience on your website.

Me: Pauses 10 minutes into my rambling, "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you."

My Wife: "No, But that's ok. I'll know more than I did after you tell me all about it."

She's a peach. 🥰

Are you trying to record audio over an RDP session via device redirection? As in, the PC you're remoting into is running Audition and the terminal/client PC is where the audio is input from the mixer.

If the answer is "yes", I would STRONGLY advise against that. You will never get it to work properly. If you're in a recording studio, you need consistent, reliable, real-time, lag free audio processing. There is simply no way to achieve that with RDP or any other remote viewing solution. Your audio feed needs to be directly connected to the computer Audition is running on. Remote desktop software is just not designed for this situation.

America as a country needs to go fuck itself for a while so it can really learn the lesson of how productive that is.

Currently fucking ourselves. Unfortunately, I think it's going to have to get a lot more painful before most of the people who need to learn from it actually do.

The entire Trump family only had two brain cells to rub together between the lot of them and unfortunately they both died with Ivana.

There comes a point, somewhere late in the evening after my ADHD meds have worn off, where it's more productive to not do any coding. If I do, I'm just going to end up throwing most of it out tomorrow because it's a bunch of bug littered spaghetti.

Unfortunately, I also solve most of my big problems when I'm not staring at a screen. After which I have to resist the temptation to go work on it so I don't make a big mess. It's some kind of cruel irony.

Side note, citizen cane is awful. I don't care that it's said to be top cinema. I hate that boring waste of 3hrs.

Boooooo.

 

An actual conversation with my two year old:

Her: "Daddy, I have super powers!"

Me: "Really? What kind of super powers do you have?"

Her: "I can stop planes and save them."

Me: "Oh, cool!"

Her: "You have super powers too!"

Me: "I do? What's my super power?"

Her: Giggling "You're old."

Me: "Uh... My super power is that I'm old?"

Her: "Yes! You're old. That's your super power."

Now I really want to have a chat with whoever is qualifying and delegating super powers because this seems very unfair.

 

Went out for an early morning hike. We have lots of waterways near our house so sights like this are common. Watching this crane hunt for bait fish with the steam rising around it was kind of surreal.

 

This sign hangs on my basement shop door. I didn't know Don personally. I think he was the first husband of the lady we bought our house from before he passed away. I've never seriously considered removing it. I don't know why exactly. I guess it feels sort of symbolic.

My shop was once his shop. Even though he's long gone, there's still at least one piece of evidence that he was here. One day it will be someone elses shop. Even though I'll be gone, there will still be evidence of my work. The labor of past generations that went into making a house "home."

Who would have thought woodworking could be so philosophical.

 

I've had a little 12 ft (3.28m) aluminum boat with a 6 HP Johnson outboard for years. The motor is big enough to get from point A -> B but not big enough to push the boat up on plane if I'm the only one in it.

I try to put as much weight at the bow as I can but it's usually still not enough. Yesterday, I was going fishing for a bit and I thought, "I wonder what would happen if I put this cinder block up front?"

It worked great. I don't know why I didn't try it years ago.
