When she is shutting down don't see it as a rejection, see it more as an involuntary shut down due to system overload. She doesn't want to be alone because of you being annoying or bad, she needs to be alone because she is overloaded.

The solution? Support her. She needs to be alone, OK, how can you help her do that more effectively? Can you help her predict that need and take the break before it becomes a shutdown? It will take less times to recover if she doesn't go all the way to full shutdown before stopping.

If you can predict you will see the causes and over time you can potentially support her in making more informed choices about what she does. Maybe there is a group of people she should keep her activities with time limited, like 2 hours max or something, so she can enjoy their company without burning out. Pointing out what you have noticed without any pushing or judgement can be helpful, but be mindful of how you communicate. It would be very easy for her to feel restricted or pushed by these observations, so communicate clearly that you have noticed something not that she should or should not do something.

Also, a clear communication strategy for what she needs is useful. The same question set every time, a small selection of options, all presented the same way. For example, "Do you need quiet time? Do you want me to be here? Do you need me not to talk?" That sort of question set allows her to have you there, calm, silent, and stable without having to figure out that is what she needs at a time she has no resources to figure things out with.

The good thing is it fails properly. This should not continue because it would break your system. The package ownership of those files has changed but the package manager would have to remove the current owning package then install the new owning package after in two separate transactions. Technically this could be make possible I think it would lead to bad packaging and would be bad practice. Happily it fails loudly and makes next steps fairly clear.

Slow cooker, put 2kg brisket and ~120ml water in, low setting, 8 hours. Put brisket on rack, coat with a mix of tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, and mustard. Into oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes. Take it out, wrap in foil, cool until near freezing, then slice thin.

This is cheaper for 4 days of lunches than one day of takeaway for me. No nursing the food, just set a reminder and forget.

Yeah, honestly having kids around and watching them learn things like target audience and how to not blindly repeat stuff they hear is great, making it more fun and chaotic is awesome

Yeah, they would definitely repeat it at inopportune times, but what is life if not opportunities for comedy?

Naughty of nice is great too, and HYCYBH is amazing

Or dexamphetamine, the other primary stimulant for ADHD.

Tom Cardy, one of the best musical comedians of our age. He has many songs with extremely catchy lines that are actually funny while also being tolerable to hear many times over. There is a definite need for a language warning if you are not good with swearing, but his Lord of the Rings one is amazing.

I think the availability of AA batteries is higher, 18650 is much less standard than AA in most people's homes. I would rather have options, so saying AA but having a swappable battery tray is how I would go, but I like kludgey stuff anyway.

That said, I just did a battery replacement for a lithium pouch on some TWS headphones and it was a fairly simple process. Making it a port rather than soldered wires would make it much easier and would make battery replacement a quick and routine task. Hopefully more companies will more towards ports for batteries and maybe even a standard port that is the same for a given voltage/amperage combination so swapping out can be done with confidence.

Yep, and he had to also solve the problem of the week given everything they could figure out in the 7 days following it happening. A cool set of limitations for the writers, the execution was a little sloppy, but overall a cool idea.

I was expecting answers but got jokes, not disappointed, just enjoying the jokes.

As for asymptotes, many mathematical functions have a value they are going towards but never quite reach. One example would be to start with 1 and then halve it, then halve it, then halve it, and keep going forever. It will trend towards 0 but never ever reach it.

Another example of approaching 0 is y = 1/x which is a cool graph. There is a curve which starts just to the right of the Y axis at maximum Y value and comes almost straight down, curves out to 1,1 then shoots out along towards the X axis almost but never reaching it. The cool thing is it does the exact same in the lower left quadrant with the line coming from the negative X axis, passing -1,-1, the shooting down the Y axis.

Yep, and not to mention the position of our solar system in the Milky Way or our galaxy in the local cluster. In fact, without a specific reference frame you would have to make corrections very rapidly for even a tiny jump in time.

 

This study is talking about two groups, one with a target INR of 2.0-2.5 and the other with a target INR of 2.5-3.5. The higher dose is the current standard dose.

The outcomes were extremely close group to group and it looks like the Confidence Interval was greater than 1.5%, so the study was not adequately powered to have confidence of non inferiority. Is that interpretation correct? Obviously the difference in the groups was not large, but it reads to me that they couldn't be sure it was close enough to not be worse with the lower dose, therefore they can't eliminate the possibility that low dose treatment is more dangerous than current dose? If so, would they do another study or would that basically amount to p-hacking? Further thoughts are appreciated.

 

So we're doing breams now?
