Proper diagnosis is not baloni anymore. 8-12 hours of intensive testing that objectively measures performance against millions who've taken the same tests gives a very reliable result that can be backed up with a CT scan or MRI.
That's NOT what its all about. It's primarily an executive function disorder. Every aspect of day to day life, including the "pleasurable" aspects are affected. ADHD-H the hyperactivity is to increase blood flow to the brain to allow the communication to occur between the problem solving centres of the brain and the executive function. The attention and emotion centres border the executive area and so, depending on the person, they'll end up distracted or they'll become emotional/stressed.
If what you said was even remotely true then that wouldn't explain ADHD-C/ADHD-I (about 30% of diagnoses) ADHD-I can cause you to focus so intently on what you're doing and be unable to switch (be cause the executive function is screwed up) so you'll sit there doing the same thing and plow through. Doesn't matter how boring or how intensely rewarding it is. I'm just coming down off a 37 hour episode of the most mind numbingly inane research that got me zero reward and set me back. I'll take me 48 hours to recover minimum before I can get back to being productive (hopefully). It's great when I spend that time doing something productive like coding but can ruin a week.
Worst part is, I can't control when it happens or what triggers it because things like self discipline and control are regulated by the executive function centre.
It is. ADD and ADHD are fake "disorders" invented by doctors and pharmaceutical companies to get kids addicted to their drugs and make lifelong customers.
When I was a kid, nobody had ADD/ADHD because it hadn't been fabricated yet.
You were born prior to 1775? Must suck stepping on your balls so much.
They need to be specific, this applies to ADHD-H. This does not apply to ADHD-I and is questionable with ADHD-C. I have ADHD-I and I have the problem that my eyes get sore from hyperfocusing to the extent that my body forgets to blink.
Besides, they already have a definitive diagnosis. A brain scan. Aside from the very obvious differences in brain wave patterns, the structure of the brain is physically different. ADHD-H will show the centre of the brain growing at an accelerated rate compared to the other areas of the brain. ADHD-I will show under development of the frontal and/or temporal lobes and a noted size difference in the rear of the brain (something on the right side rear is smaller)... I'm totally not awake so all the appropriate terms and thoughts in general aren't coming to me...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... --this lecture talks about it... it's split into a bunch of random pieces so I don't know which one the ADHD-I brain portion is in... that or there's a 3 hour video with it all (I think it's the same lecture)
LOL - you're absolutely right. I just did a quick Google search for the Las Lajas river to see where it was and every search I did kept coming up with that image. My bad. Las Lajas section wouldn't be too bad then. The Brito end of it might trash a nice beach at most. My point stands overall though.
There are highly trained generalists who lack humility and don't make fools of themselves. They're the rarest of individuals but they do exist.
Why do they want to kill my password? What's wrong with "@13 unicorn #DARPA gangbang!"? It's secure isn't it?
Honestly, I find my buggiest code is the easiest crap that I'm just not paying attention to. The moment I have a solid challenge my interest peaks and getting it singing perfectly is the only acceptable end result. It may take a few tries but it's what I thrive on. I'm my least productive and most careless on the routine pointless tasks.
Wasn't implying they didn't use the biggest/best... just meant that the definition of that has changed a lot over the years.
Somebody didn't read the article:
"However, there are doubts around the world about the Nicaragua Canal project, mainly focusing on its engineering difficulty and funding during the construction phase and the economic viability after completion."
I said it would be comparatively cheaper. Panama Canal cost about $59/cubic metre excavated. Nicaragua Canal will be $10/cubic metre excavated if the estimates hold.
Panama didn't have the benefit of the massive machines available now. It will likely be much cheaper compartitively.
What I find interesting is the complete disregard for some amazing sites. Las Lajas River has this: http://www.beautifulplacesguid... three of the four proposed routes for the 3rd section head through a national reserve. The shortest route of course splits the reserve in half. http://www3.varesenews.it/imma...
Another question to ask is, why was someone at google looking at someone's personal email account?
I suspect they weren't. They probably have an agreement with the police where their image matching algorithms are used to compare known child porn images against images sent to/from gmail and as they crawl the web.
Disregard the above, misinformed comment. mea culpa
Even if you didn't use AdBlock, HTTPS Everywhere takes care of it very nicely.
Probably are - higher due to transmission through water but comparable.
