So many unfinished projects
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
I like being a generalist. But yes also ADHD.

I really wish I could get a scooter but I weigh about 230 lbs, that's roughly the max weight for most scooters I find
Like this type of Scooter? This is rated for 300ish lbs. 230 isn't that heavy. Yoru weight will be worse for range but that means find the biggest battery you can.
I'm 290 and just got a cargo electric bike. Things are out there for the bigger guy.

What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV?
Any prequel. I'm watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds. It's 10 years before the original series. So there is no way Spock, Urua, Chapel, or Pike (well sorta on him) can get too messed up.

'A Black Hole of Energy Use': Meta's Massive AI Data Center Is Stressing Out a Louisiana Community
Reply in thread
A properly built data center will be able to cover its full usage. They are just scaling up a known method. High availability is built into these things.
When a data center loses power for any length of time, it is a big deal requiring a full investigation and mitigation.

The dryer at my parents house vented into a mess of mint. Laundry made the backyard smell great.

NSW police continued to justify festival strip-searches using drug dogs despite knowing 30% hit-rate, court hears
Mind-boggling to even think of being strip searched on the way into a festival. Granted my experience is mostly US, but I've been to Glastonbury and that was chill.

Stressed about ADHD evaluation
Hey there, sorry to hear about what you are going through. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, it has gone untreated but that's another story. In my adult life I've dealt with anxiety and depression. I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar.
My daughter (20ish) had a very similar outlook as you. She was confident she had ADHD and wanted a diagnosis. But similar to you her psychiatrist wanted to focus on anxiety and depression. She pushed back against this and didn't make progress.
But recently she went through a severe depressive phase and sought help. Instead of seeking help to get a specific diagnosis she went in simply asking for help.
You could try going to a psychologist and saying I'm feeling x, y, and z and they are impacting my life in a, b, and c ways. Then let the expert guide you through what you need.
I'm not saying this is you, but my daughter was convinced she needed to be treated for ADHD. But she really needed to be treated for her depression first.
Separate from all that a word of caution from someone who is prescribed a controlled substance. If you come in strong asking for an ADHD diagnosis you might be flagged for drug seeking behavior. It's better to present what you are feeling and let the docs try and figure out what works.
Best of luck to you, life isn't fun when it feels like your brain is out of control.

[Question] When making pizza, is there a way to prevent soggy crust?
"all the veggies" bring all the moisture. Cut back or precook the wet stuff. Go easy on the sauce.

Even EU Shocked by Canada’s Bold Move to Replace the U.S. with EU in Oil Export
Reply in thread
Yeah AI is great for this kinda stuff. My personal favorite use is "make is concise"
Canada is shifting its energy exports away from the U.S. toward European and Asian markets due to American protectionist tariffs. This strategic diversification of Canadian oil, gas, and minerals could weaken U.S. energy security and global influence while raising American energy costs. Canada's resources currently benefit the U.S. by supporting reserves, lowering costs, and enabling exports. As Canada develops more capacity to supply global allies directly, particularly with electricity that could power America's growing AI sector, this reorientation may significantly alter global energy geopolitics.

As a former Catholic I can still feel these adhere to the roof of my mouth, and having to wait for Mass to be over to peel it off.
Whatever you do, don't stick your tongue out like a rock star with Jesus on your tongue. I've found this upsets the nuns. Well maybe it was just me that upset the nuns. A young atheist in a Catholic school was interesting.
