You might have gotten in before they added the H lol. My diagnosis in the early 90s was called just ADD. They hadn't added the "hyperactive" part yet. The name does it a disservice though because it isn't an attention deficit, it is in fact the exact opposite. I have too much attention - I just can't always pick where that attention goes.

I think people are mostly upset about some bank telling them how they are allowed to spend their money (by restricting what is available for sale). What if those big banks decide that, say, R-rated movies are too much of a liability for them and demand retailers stop carrying them? I'm not sure what an alternative would be, but allowing a bank to decide what you can spend your money on is a bad precedent given that everyone is basically required to have a bank account these days.

I'm not sure but Dolby Atmos might be responsible for some of it. Dolby Atmos lets the engineers assign coordinate values to each "sound object" in the scene, then your receiver takes that information, along with the room calibration mic info and your speaker layout, and actually generates the channels itself based on the listeners position within the scene. As an example, if an object is moving from front to rear then the engineers no longer have to pan it between channels, just tell the coordinate system that the sound is moving "that way" and let the receiver take care of it. Maybe engineers just aren't putting as much work into making discrete channel audio mixes anymore when the "gold standard" no longer uses discrete channels/tracks.

People suck, hopefully you were able to take her to court for defamation because what she did is almost the definition of libel where I live (Maryland, US).

One way to solve that would be get linen bed sheets. Expensive, yes, but linen is basically pre-wrinkled and gets softer with age. Instead of hundreds of very big wrinkles you'll have thousands of basically permanent small wrinkles. If it really gets bad you can just throw em in the dryer on cool and let that de-wrinkle them but I find it easier to just lean into the wrinkled "cottage" look.

See, if you budget properly then you can afford to live on your own and have two beds!

I can (anecdotally) confirm the overclocking sensitivity. Although it seems to be more that this game just REALLY pushes hardware if you let it which is naturally gonna draw out overclocking instabilities.

Also it might be the only Trek show with 3-parters? I haven't seen DISCO so someone feel free to correct if I'm wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, I realized very quickly that I am FULLY out of my depth with this conversation haha. You all are very thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Yeah that's more comparable. I was mostly just trying to state the difference between ownership and a perpetual license but I'm thinking I oversimplified lol.

I can't think of any time in history that the public has had that ability for anything. Imagine being upset because a Ford dealership won't sell you a Toyota, or that Kohl's won't sell you some designer brand.
