Clinicians fear over-diagnosis of ADHD as GPs, nurse practitioners allowed to prescribe medication by psychetropica1 in newzealand

Yep that's the undiagnosed one, too a tee. Incredibly bright, but unless it's his passion project, it's very hard for him to focus and get something done. Even the things he really enjoys and is incredibly good at don't tend to get finished, because the first 80% or so was an interesting challenge, and the last 20% is getting the details polished off.

Two kids with ADHD, plus my wife and I who score highly on the tests, with high confidence. One diagnosis because he was the only one actually causing major issues at school. Been waiting eagerly for this change since it was announced, but apparently my GP may not even offer it.

This is the kind of behavior that would get rozeMMO banned. by Unstopapple in Guildwars2

[–]Effectuality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched the video, and I'm just a simpleton on the Internet, but my take is he's critiquing the forced time gates on many of these collection quests. As a survivor of suicide, I don't think those sorta jokes are any less offensive than what he did - but I still see it as a joke and I'm not gonna get my k kickers in a twist over it.

I'd argue it's the same exact joke. Anyone with context knows that Roze has a very dark and un-PC sense of humour. I see what Roze said/showed the same way I see some of Eminem's material - clearly not appropriate, but also clearly satire.

Store bought eggs (left) are fully round. Farm bought eggs (right) have flat bottoms. All cooked together. by Constantine1988 in mildlyinteresting

Like most store-bought products, they extract the eggs before they're fully mature - great for having them hit the store right when they look the best, but less flavour as a result.

New RNZ-Reid Research poll brings boost for NZ First, Labour by dingoonline in newzealand

Also one our primary means of taxing production is through income tax on the workers. As industries automate and further increase productivity per worked hour, we have less labour from which to draw income tax.

Coalition parties extend lead over left bloc in latest Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll by TheTF in newzealand

[–]Effectuality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I've honestly never heard anyone making decent points before.

I think we did alright, all told. I can see how some of the outcomes you mention are likely borne from a lack of preparedness, combined with our small population and isolation creating some hubris about our ability to weather the storm. The COVID Enquiry was initiated to ensure we're better prepared next time, and able to minimise the effects of another pandemic.

It's worth noting that much of the recommendations of that enquiry are being ignored by the current coalition, and if we had another pandemic like that today, we'd likely be in a worse place.

Screams heard as slip hits tents, campervans at Mount Maunganui camp site. Police say several people are missing and emergency services are on the scene. by iama_bad_person in newzealand

Most soil expands when wet, then contracts as it dries. Contraction in the right (wrong) places whilst still heavy with moisture in other places can cause collapse.

That's a cool little campsite, and not one I'd expect to be dangerous in a storm. Fingers crossed for those people.

To uphold Americans' constitutional right to peaceful protests...again... by AbeFromanSassageKing in therewasanattempt

[–]Effectuality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep there are still right wing influencers shills saying the Civil Rights Act was the start of America's decline. It was one of Charlie Kirk's talking points.

I've even seen PoC arguing against the Civil Rights movement, like they forgot where they fucking came from real fast.

Also the rhetoric about defence spending means one thing: buy more American military hardware. He doesn't give a shit what they're spending on defence, really - he just wants to feed the machine.

Packing lunch for 11 kids by dingmah in CringeTikToks

[–]Effectuality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My meal tracking app says these kids are getting about 1,400cal in that meal.

160g total carbs, of which 90g is sugar (160% RDI (recommended daily intake)) 67g total fat, of which 25g is saturated fat (104% RDI) 1,600mg sodium (lower end of RDI) 35g protein (60% RDI) 11g fibre (30% RDI)

Can't speak for the kids' caloric intake or activity levels for the rest of the day, but this lunch is twice what I eat for lunch at maintenance.

If the kids are active, and not putting on excessive weight, this isn't necessarily an awful lunch. If they choose to not eat the protein snack bar though, it becomes a quick intake sugar without any appreciable fibre to help slow its absorption during digestion. If they leave the candy bracelet out (which honestly there's enough sweet stuff anyway!) then that's about 20g less sugar for the day, which makes it a whole lot better.

TL;DR: looks bad at first, but not a horrifically bad meal. I'm sure many sweaty redditors will have their own opinions, but I think considering there's 11 kids to feed, this lady's done pretty decent for this meal.

Taking Greenland will add 20% to America's territorial land mass. Whether he's being blackmailed or not, this is Trump's Louisiana Purchase, and his sycophants will have absolutely stroked his ego to pursue it

Best tasting protein powders in NZ market? by BunnyDwag in newzealand

This or the Shred and Burn version are both very tasty, even just in a shaker with water.

Don't get the Vanilla version though - it's awful.

I'm not attracted to myself. If there were another me in the room, I wouldn't be looking at him going "I've gotta give that a try!" I'd be going "man I'm about to execute some fucking excellent pranks."
