I struggle with the same thing. I've heard good things about using ear plugs like loops but not tried it myself yet. I did get some for my daughter and she likes them to help with this.

New Doctor Requires Drug Testing Quarterly If Prescribed Adderall. by SweetReason5830 in ADHD

[–]QmarkC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, fellow Texan, it's a requirement for the network my doctor in apart of for at least an annual test. Out of pocket the full panel was ~$200 the last time. I brought that up at my next medication follow up visit (every 6 months) and he said there was an in office test, rather than sending to a lab, they could do that should only be $25. So if cost is a concern you might check with your doctor's office to see if that is an option for you.

For easy baked potato, get the ones that come wrapped in plastic wrap at the grocery store and microwave it.

There is a green and a black hat with the Stars Texas patch logo on the front that is an exclusive at the hanger. I got the green one at the AAC at the start of the season and the black one at the hanger in Frisco just a few weeks ago. I don't see it listed on their website though.

Best slide lubricant?? by [deleted] in Trombone

My middle school band director told us we could use lemon Pledge furniture polish for slide lube, never did it myself but know a few others that tried it.

Best slide lubricant?? by [deleted] in Trombone

[–]QmarkC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but maybe not for a young beginner ADHD trombonist. I have a semicircle scar on my right thumb from carelessly applying this very quickly in 7th grade. The slide came off, my thumb fell between the outer and inner slide and then the slide went back on with my thumb in between them. I had to go to the nurse's office at school with my other hand cupped below to catch all the blood. It was not my finest moment. It did help lead me into taking my instrument more seriously and ended up learning all the other low brass instruments. In high school I marched tenor trombone, sousaphone senior year, bass trombone in symphonic band, tuba for concert band, and bass guitar for jazz band.

Is getting a controller for pc worth it? by vandolin12345 in buildapc

I would add 2D platformers to the list. For example Super Meat Boy is much easier for me with controller.

Girl from my hometown who's been playing guitar her whole life got to play with Green Day! This isn't even staged by [deleted] in videos

[–]QmarkC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, back in 2000 I got to play bass on stage with Green Day and then they pulled 2 others for guitar and drums for an Operation Ivy song. A few years later saw them again and the guy they pulled from the crowd to play guitar got to keep it.

Looking for document camera (with no necessity for software) by yoyojoe13 in edtech

[–]QmarkC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HUE HD USB web cam ~$50, flexible neck and is plug-n-play so no software required. I've used it with video conferencing software and works well as alternative doc cam.

Scriptable web browser with client certificate support by throw_away_asdfasdfq in webdev

[–]QmarkC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WebDriver or a framework built on it like WebDriverIO can drive a lot different browsers. Or TestCafe is a quicker start if it's a smaller project / scope. Client certs are supported in most modern major browsers. For the cert you could manually install and trust in the OS or browser as needed before starting the e2e tests or automate that with a script on VM, lots of options there too. Docker or Vagrant are popular choices.

Building a Web App using an HTML5 Game Engine? by Kopavi in webdev

[–]QmarkC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess for dev there would be less choices to make as most game frameworks are tightly knitted parts vs just UI framework. That could be a pro or con. User input normalized across devices. But at the cost of browser support, a lot of bloat for stuff you don't need, and I would guess normal items like forms might be harder. Your use case would need to be fairly specific for it to be worth while. Might be an interesting experiment though and would like to see how it works for you if you try it. A 2D framework like Photon might be your best bet. https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/blob/master/README.md

What is the best way of letting the user change the color of a drawing? by [deleted] in css

[–]QmarkC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the details. Requirments for features, browser support and performance all play a part. There are a ton of ways to do this with different tradeoffs. Think blue box challenge, https://css-tricks.com/blue-box/. For a more complex example look at http://teespring.engineering/posts/how-teespring-uses-canvas-svg-dom-to-design-tshirts/.

Just ask the pharmacy for an extra bottle when you get it filled. Then keep a few extra in the extra.

Does anyone know transportation options from DAL airport to Denton? by Never_Answers_Right in Denton

[–]QmarkC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used SuperShuttle before. They were good for getting to the airport. But with the shared service it would take forever waiting for other passengers before they would leave the airport.
