I wanted to write in cursive a few years ago and realized I had completely forgotten. It didn’t take long to remember with the help of a cursive alphabet, but I was still completely unable to get started without it.
Apparently Gen Z didn't learn to write in cursive at all, since it had been removed from the curriculum. Some US states have since started adding it back.
> And still weight kept on coming on. Worse yet, I am on ADHD medication, which are amphetamines and actually make you lose weight. Yet... the number on the scale kept on creeping up.
The therapeutic amphetamines dosages for ADHD is below the threshold required for produce meaningful weight loss. It's not surprising that it didn't help you lose weight.

That’s not been my experience at all. My dosage absolutely significantly suppresses my appetite and always has. This has directly led to sustained weight loss. It did so badly enough at one point that I was underweight significantly.
I have to force myself to eat on my meds, even though the thought often makes me ill.
I’m on 30mg dexamfetamine daily.
“Dexamfetamine can make you want to eat less, so you may lose weight while taking it.
Some people gain weight, but weight loss is more common.”
Doesn’t seem to be hit everyone but equally doesn’t seem rare.
I am surprised the a liberal senator would try protecting AM radio. AM talk radio is very right wing and it definitely contributed to the radicalization of the American right-wing. I remember when AM radio was a major boogie man for liberals.
I have had the opposite experience. I have had professionals find and treat problems in weeks after wasting years using books and the internet.
I am not saying it is impossible, but find good info on the internet, but it has its limits.
There's gotta be errors on both sides, now the question is if we are assessing their risks properly or not. Maybe giving a shot to a low risk thing you read on the internet is worth a try, and maybe booking a doctor visit and getting examined will be worth the time and money.
It'd be nice to have this decision tree being built out in the open, ultimately everyone needs it.
IIRC a big problem with delivery drones is that their payload is limited by the damage that would be caused should the payload go into freefall. Going higher would just increase the ground impact speed.
I'm more worried about impact on people for which there should be at least a parachute where the higher altitude would give the chute more altitude to open. Also it should be cheap and easy to put something on the payload to slow its decent - like a maple seed.
Not really, the terminal velocity will limit it soon. The reason for the 400ft is more that general aviation is permitted from 500ft upwards (well, they must keep 500ft clearance from ground and buildings in all directions) and they can't coexist with drones. Especially automated ones.
Also it can be mitigated by the shape of the shell, have a parachute etc.
I have always wondered if it would be possible to write a language agnostic package manager. Lord knows we probably don't need more programming languages, but it would be much easier to get on of the ground if it could just plug itself into an existing package manager.
Same here, and I periodically research but remain disappointed; people usually just write a tool to address their current pet peeve and 1-2 years later the tool is of course abandoned.
Using just[0] as a task runner has solved a lot of per-project-scripts problems for me but it still cannot do DAG analysis + parallel task running of tasks not blocked on each other (or allow you to opt into serial or parallel task running). So it remains firmly in just the "task runner" territory.
I know many people would jump at the opportunity to say "just learn `make`!" but no thanks, I value my sanity. `make` is also inheriting a lot of bash-ism weirdness which makes it even worse.
The mage[1] tool that uses `Magefile`-s might be it but it's a bit more verbose (as it's Golang) and I am not sure how well does it integrate with the shell. Maybe script[2] can be used to complement it.
Sadly I don't have the time (and lately the inclination) to experiment but there are tools out there and I wish we finally started unifying things.
