I may be remembering incorrectly, but after the 2019 Supreme Court ruling that federal courts can’t address partisan gerrymandering, a couple of blue states (New York and Illinois maybe?) tried doing some gerrymanders after the 2020 census. Then their state courts struck them down.

Several blue states – I think Washington and Oregon are among them – created non-partisan redistricting commissions before 2019, so they can’t be gerrymandered.

My PCP got me to do an online questionnaire through ADHD Online.

He thought it was quackery until the pandemic essentially forced him to try sending people down that route. He now trusts the results (and finds it way quicker + cheaper than a referral to an in-state specialist). Basically, your questionnaire takes the place of an in-person interview and gets assessed by a doctor in a low-population state. (I think mine was reviewed by a doctor in North Dakota or something.) I think it was about $90 (out of pocket).

Based on that I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

I followed up with my PCP, who got me on a low grade antidepressant. I don’t feel depressed or anxious anymore, and it’s helped me turn my ADHD into a superpower. (My brain is still all over the place, but I have the confidence to weaponize it.) I’m definitely one of the lucky ones, but that’s the journey I took.

So when you zip some files and then unzip them, some of the bytes are missing? Really?!

As a maintainer on an open source project, I assume the sticks are PRs coming in right before code freeze, right? Right?!

Inferring doesn’t mean the same thing as implying. They’re kind of complementary, like borrowing versus lending.

The OP may have been implying something, but it looks like you’re inferring something (which may or may not what they’re implying; I don’t care enough to parse that out).

The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!

Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.

The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they’re usually so late game that I haven’t minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
