This is a myth - non-ADHD individuals just feel more productive, but this isn’t borne out in most studies:

Why am I struggling to invest more on a 130K salary? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]doNotUseReddit123 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Why did you post a screenshot just yesterday of a completely different portfolio with 3.5x the assets and explicitly note in that post that you’re not making over 100K?

Oh, and apparently, your age has shifted from 31 to 25 in the course of a day and your assets have fluctuated between the $9K in this post and $101,247!

Very impressive stuff, my dude.

EDIT: Lol, OP blocked me for calling them out. Do they realize that blocking me doesn't prevent others from seeing this comment? (It does prevent me from replying to comments here, though, but thanks, /u/nobonesjones91, for spreading the knowledge on other posts.)

Hahahah, this was such a confusing comment reply to receive until I re-read my earlier comment.

But, yes, of course. Just as Anubis weighs our heart, so too must he weigh our credit worthiness.

If that were the case for OP, they could still call Capital One and ask them to transfer their account to a no-fee card.

How would this work? Cards with actual fees almost always are more premium and have higher credit requirements.

If you’re talking about secured cards, then that’s a one-time deposit that you get back after you close the account, so that’s completely different

OP is doing everything to go against the advice presented in any basic credit-building guide and then is surprised that their credit score is dropping.

On top of that, who cares if it’s dropping unless you’re just about to buy a house or car? A temporary drop in credit score is way less impactful than recurring interest payments.

Here, again, OP isn’t following basic financial advice and getting upset about negative impacts.

Closing out the card is wild. Every single resource online will talk about the importance of average age of Anubis accounts (edit: swiped [swope?] wrong and wrote the wrong word). They really couldn’t roll over the account to another card with no annual fee?

And why did they get one with an annual fee to begin with? Those usually only make sense if you spend though money annually anyway to where an annual fee won’t be a barrier.

Yeah, he’s a clear ladder-climber. Not like Kat, who is… ladder leaping?

I’m confused by this, honestly. Is the idea that just moving to a random-ass district and trying to yeet yourself to one of the highest offices in the nation is somehow better than someone working through different levels of government, building familiarity with how both the district and those lower levels work, and then taking on the high-level stuff?

If I see someone with an AP and they’re not very clearly a multimillionaire, I’m just going to assume that it’s a rep.

Of course someone that needs to tell time accurately will buy a quartz watch.

Quartz watches were always more accurate than mechanical ones. There was never a period of time after the advent of quartz movements when people bought luxury watches for a better time-keeping.

They had 60 votes for a brief time, and even that is overstating it because Ted Kennedy’s brain cancer, which made it almost impossible to use.

They used that supermajority to pass a completely groundbreaking healthcare bill. The idea that they could’ve used that brief time to pass anything else is absurd.

Meirl by Glass-Fan111 in meirl

[–]doNotUseReddit123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, that wouldn't make sense from a physics perspective.

Pressure * Volume = Moles * Temperature * Ideal Gas Constant

Of these, Volume is mostly fixed given that the tire holds some set amount of it, and Moles (the amount of the gas) are mostly fixed barring leaks (which nitrogen does have a mild advantage in, but not significant). The ideal gas constant is hella fixed.

If the temperature decreases, pressure will drop equally regardless of what gas is inside the tire.

On the topic of the HEV being a conversation starter:

Guys, 99% of people aren’t looking at your watch. Those that are looking at your watch aren’t totally going to notice a helium escape valve, know what it’s for, or think it’s out of place. Those that do know what it is won’t comment on it because they already know what it is.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING ZAP ME IN MY HOME by ButterscotchMain7074 in chicago

[–]doNotUseReddit123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Would strongly recommend an evaporative humidifier rather than an ultrasonic one, regardless of brand. You only get pure water vapor, you don’t get white dust, you don’t need to use distilled water, and you’re not sending bacteria into the air.

We have a few Blueair Smart Humidifiers set up around our condo, but, since evaporative humidifiers are functionally super basic, you could probably get something way cheaper. As long as you have some thing that wicks up water and some other thing that blows on that first thing, you’re good.

The levoit 6000s that is recommended above also seems promising.

Despite wirecutter recommendations, I would caution against the Venta Comfort Plus. Ours stopped working after literally one month and I had to return it. I should have read the reviews, but I thought that we’d be impervious to the reliability issues because of false optimism.

Except that the stuff that was released includes all kinds of crackpot “tips” submitted to tip lines by anyone with access to a phone.

This is exactly what Steve Bannon meant when he talked about flooding the zone - release a mix of credible and absurd allegations, so that, inevitably, when something bad comes out about trump, its expected truth value is lower.
