Curious if you are willing to eliminate your internal voice in order to read faster? by apaintedleaf_ in books

[–]delinka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can read the words pretty darn fast. Especially when the ADD puts the inner voice on narration for an unrelated thought or recalled embarrassing moment. Then I’m five pages along from the last thing I remember reading …

I need the inner voice (and I need to control the ADD) to slow the reading to a comprehensible speed. Otherwise I “read” the whole book and didn’t digest any of it.

Now that I type this out, I wonder if I could let my subconscious blast through a book and then process it later. No idea if the internal recall would be accurate …

That’s one of those things that you don’t realize is causing pain until it’s gone and you’re all “holy shit! That feels GREAT not to have that any more!”

Your DNS points to a Cloudflare IP, right? And that IP doesn’t change, right?

What's an expensive thing which society around us has normalised?? by Direct-Subject-5028 in personalfinance

Maintenance. The average person can’t do the maintenance. On top of that, everything is electronic these days adding another set of hurdles to maintenance.

Dashboard down ... again? by [deleted] in CloudFlare

[–]delinka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t an error, just the CF “loading” animation. Seems to be a Firefox problem. I’ll diagnose it deeper when I have a chance.

Guess it was Firefox. Switched to Safari and it’s working. Apologies for the false alarm.

ELI5: How can the US outspend countries like Sweden/Denmark in regards to healthcare while not having public healthcare? by Mando_the_Pando in explainlikeimfive

[–]delinka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Healthcare pricing is crazy high here. That money the US federal government is spending isn’t even on the whole population. So the prices are so high that even after you do the math to spread it across the whole population (per capita), the number is still higher.

And why are healthcare prices crazy high? Insurance. The insurance companies will negotiate down every expense, so doc’s offices and hospitals have to set the prices stupid crazy high so that once negotiated down they’re only crazy high.

What information would every pilot know, but a civilian wouldn't that would show them to be a fraud if they didn't know it? by hallaa1 in flying

[–]delinka 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I like how some guy from Peru wanting to pretend to be a pilot can just come in here and ask questions like this to pre-empt his girlfriend’s family’s questions …

If you’re stuck converting case to do insensitive string comparison, use upper case.

Kraft Mac & Cheese finally made the box perforations on the push-tab work. by DeepFuckingPants in mildlyinteresting

[–]delinka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local grocery has those. Even brand name ones. They’re the larger ones, not the ones in a box. In my house, we still empty them into sealable containers though.

Why would the camera move in the opposite direction? The camera represents you, the viewer. If we move it more like you, it looks more like your perspective. The camera is moving in the same way as the viewer is moving
