Is ADD a good thing? Are people thinking faster?
Is thinking faster a positive evolution or will it limit us?
- I personally believe that ADD is an evolutionary vestige of the hunter/gatherer days. It provided advantage then, but it's a hinderance in todays' worldGnash
- ADD isn't 'thinking faster,' btwGnash
- not too sure about that - if you're hunting you must need the ability to focus on your prey?hans_glib

- hyper-focus is the hallmark of ADD. perfectly suited for hunting.Gnash

i think i'm going to get a juicer, any recommendations?

- Do it the old way mate: http://ultraimg.com/…OBBTKN
- alot of good info here, thanks guys********
- Are you a gluten-free, vegan, crossfit trainer?********
- ^ and Android user!Gnash
- Get a general food processor that has some kind of juicing function — don't tie yourself into some sinlge-purpose unit. I've made that mistake.detritus
- Unless you want to juice consistently and it'll be the best purchase you've made in yonks. My Philips one is sixty quid now on Amazon. Bargs********

Just had a gander at Boing Boing for the first time in a long time.
I won't be back, to their site at least.
Pressing Ctrl+F on my keyboard didn't, as expected, bring up a browser-level text search, instead it was hijacked by code on the page, insisting instead that I use the site's functionality.
wtf?
Furthermore, when I managed to force my browser's search functionality.. it barely even worked, because the changing 'live view' meant that the bits of the comment section where my search term might've been found weren't being rendered, despite my having literally just scrolled down a page or so.
I'd've honestly expected a site with the heritage of BoingBoing would be the last to pull this sort of presumptuous HTML base function neutering dysfunctionality. Sad!

</whinge>detritus - Firefox's FAYT search works fine there.i_monk
- lol gnash********
- i more meant searching within the contents of the page itself - FAYT's the smart address bar thing, no?detritus
- No, it's "find as you type", the text search thing you can pull up with ⌘F.i_monk
- oh, right - that's what I was using, then - maybe it's a PC thing, but when I ctrl+F on their pages it pops the HTML search function in the top right.detritus
- I've actually just noticed that if I hit Ctrl+F again (ie. twice), it pops the FF search dialogue, *ahem*.detritus
- the other point remains mind. as too this one, although diluted.detritus

Loving Williamsburg. There's a great energy here. Props to the community for maintaining the positive vibes. I think I'm going to stay a while.

Should you do a credit freeze?
Freezes are being promoted as a first line of defense in the Equifax breach, which potentially affected 143 million Americans. It is a more drastic step than credit monitoring, which alerts consumers to potentially fraudulent activity on their reports.
- How to freeze your credit
https://www.usatoday…utopian - Call & Ask
Equifax — 1-800-349-9960
Experian — 1‑888‑397‑3742
TransUnion — 1-888-909-8872
Innovis — 1-800-540-2505imbecile - The only catch, they give you passwords you can't lose. And you need to temporarily release your credit if it's going to be checked.robotron3k

Still wearing shorts, but those days are singularly numbered.

Maybe next week will get to 26°Cdmay - Same here... I just got dressed in a thermal vest, autumn is here, rains out and my garden plants are dying, cats sleeping all dayOBBTKN

A friend of mine was late for a boat on holiday in France and somehow managed to crush her foot under the draw bridge type thing that you walk on to the boat via. They threw it down for get last minute but she was about to jump. Hard to picture how it happened exactly but sadly it did.
Anyway, have just heard this morning that it's so bad they're going to have to amputate her big toe and the toe next to it. Fucking brutal. Feeling really rather emotional right now, and to think I was stressing the other day over losing a pair of sunglasses.
Treasure what you have, you glorious cunts.
- Losing a big toe is serious - it is the balance point for your foot - without you can't walk properly. People have a thumb transplanted as a replacement.face_melter

- and to think i thought i was the biggest idiot most of you knewimbecile
- What self referential nonsense are you spewing now?********
- Faaaack, that's gotta hurt. I stub my toe and turn into a 4 y/o. Yeah, I've seen the transplanted thumb thing on Vice or something.fyoucher1
- suck big time. send her my bestsureshot
- I'd rather have a thumb than a big toe I think********
- Hopefully there's a prosthetic to keep balancepinkfloyd
- If this was a dude it wouldn't take 3 weeks and the 'stubby' nicknames would start rolling in... regardless... sorry 'bout your friend's tootsie. :(PonyBoy
- Thats horrible. Hope she's in good hands (no pun intended) and everything goes as well as it can.mugwart
- I treasure my toes man. But fuck, this sounds NASTYIanbolton
- Well ya we all treasure our toes when we think about it, but sometimes it's good to be reminded to appreciate everything we have. Puts things in to perspective********

I've only made 5 dollars in nyc in a week and I've managed to lose my 17 year old longboard, my Ray Bradbury book, a Tito Puente cd, some Tom Ford shades (sorry Susi), and Ive practically damaged all of my novels. But F it, long live adventure.
- How did you make the $5?********
- CD? You carry CD's around? You got a disc man?ArmandoEstrada

- well, ron, i took a picture for a disabled lasdy and she gave me 3 bucks and a rapper gave me 2 bucks when I asked him for a cigarette.********
- what? he gave you 2 bucks instead of a cig? ???pango
- that's the best $5 story i've heard. you should just cruise the city and see what strange things you can do for money. then write a book about it.capn_ron
- time to take that $5 and buy a fake rolexpinkfloyd

I think that for most people there are different logics applied to different realms of life. Different premises, rules, values etc.
I'm like that too sometimes, but other times I don't understand it, and then it feels like i'm interacting with a fly that is trying to exit a car with open windows, banging against the windshield.

My neighbors are a working class asian family and have a disabled daughter who's like 20 and non-verbal and sits around in a wheelchair on their front porch half the day.
They're always home, probably because of her and seemingly very loving and caring.
I can't imagine how complicated that makes things for them. It must be tough.
- Ever talk with them?bklyndroobeki
- send a pic, I can spot a faker. I've seen a few in my day..futurefood

Have a friend who's older and one of the nicest people I know. But she comes from a lousy family.
Her parents divorced and her Dad bounced. Her Mom is across the country and never comes to visit or offer to help her out.

I don't think I've ever seen an Aronofsky movie get shit on so hard as much as his new movie (starring Jennifer Lawrence)... actually I don't think I've ever seen an 'F' rating for that matter.
‘Mother!’ Is the Worst Movie of the Year, Maybe Century

- oh dear... he does seem to have gone downhill with each successive film though (apart from the early ones).fadein11
- although Black Swan was good.fadein11
- Eh? I was under the impression it's supposed to be brilliant?detritus
- It's getting mixed to decent reviews...probably not the worst film, but just too weird for a mass audience.yuekit
- Especially an audience of Jennifer Lawrence fans who probably expected a straightforward drama or horror flick.yuekit
- What's surprising is people who go watch this shit********
- ^ so you've seen it the same way you saw Blade Runner - through the hole in your arse?face_melter
- disappoint about the reviews but ill watch it and form my own opinion********
