<p>No idea, only played in low sec. There you shoot everyone. So it's kinda "safe" - no surprises, you expect everyone to try to kill you. Maybe except your own militia, and that's not always.<p>But the rule is good. Can't say I always adhere to it, but used to loose a lot of stuff , and thanks to the rule, many wasn't that expensive.</p>

<p>You have me a good idea. My granny can barely walk. She recently started getting constant alarms on her apple watch about Atrial fibrillation - poor cardiovascular shape.<p>Excruciating exercising with resistance bands is something she could do too - already started her on doing simple biceps exercises with small weights.</p>

<p>From the title I've learned that git uses an em-dash instead of double dash as options delimiter. Thanks for pointing out that the title was wrong -- I've never had a need to use -- with git, so didn't know that it doesn't work.</p>

<p>To be specific, Vyvanse/Elvanse is lisdextroamphetamine.<p>But IMO it's not really that incorrect to say there are two main types of stimulants.<p>You rarely (at least never where I'm from) get instant release methylphenidate. Always some delay mechanism. Shorter - Ritalin, longer - Concerta.<p>And the lizine particle attached to dextroamphetamine acts as a such delayer, but isn't active by itself -- being only an amino acid. So it's still kind of amphetamine just as Concerta is methylphenidate.</p>

<p>OTOH, reading some wise comments on hn can help you get out of your biases.<p>It was initially some hn comment that convinced me that ADHD is not lazy people's excuse, but an actual thing (even if overhyped on some hn alternatives -- social media). And that led to a diagnosis after some time.</p>

<p>IANAD,
Clinically, the measurement for diagnosis is if symptoms disturb your day to day life. In some countries they need to disturb multiple (1<) spheres of life. (Work, family, health etc.)<p>Then you'd have people with symptoms, but who's life is not affected by them.<p>I wonder myself if it's just the first group that is classified as neurodivergent or both.</p>

<p>I reported 3 errors/feature requests in Oura Ring app. After going through the reporting process I felt much less irritated at the bugs and smiled to myself thinking that must have been the purpose of the reports.<p>To my astonishment, 3-4 months later they fixed the errors and rolled out the feature I asked about.<p>WTH, people read those reports?<p>I know people do, I often get in touch with support for various services, knowing that in the sea of people not giving feedback, your comments mean a lot. But up until recently both the Oura App and their support was very mediocre.<p>Where's my enshittification?</p>
