Heya, so like title says I was recently diagnosed with audhd. I'm trying to look up for some resources to learn more about how to better deal with this condition.

Please note that I'm NOT trying to replace therapy with internet "tips 'n tricks", but due to some problems I'm not able to seek therapy as of now, and I probably won't be able to for a while, as such this is currently my only choice.

I also understand that these things are easily searchable, but I still decided to ask here directly because I just started checking these things out and I want to see what the community approves/disapproves.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Podcast, books, videos, etc etc, you name it
Thank you!

Hey
I've been using Linux Mint for about 6 months, I love it and I don't plan on switching to Windows
again.

But getting to the point, I've been having this issue where when I'm downloading something significant in size, and the process is interrupted for some reason (Power outage or some sort of glitch that forces me to reboot the computer) the entire OS corrupts.

This has happened more than once, so after reinstalling the OS I have starting setting up some snapshots with Timeshift. But when I inevitably faced the same issue again, I tried recovering the snapshot and the issue simply persisted, and I was forced to once more reinstall Mint.

I think I'm doing something wrong... I used Timeshift's default snapshots so maybe I need to custom it somehow? Or perhaps use another software entirely?

What should I do to save a backup that will truly recover my entire system?

Edit: In general, I plan on saving a backup before I download anything cuz I'm genuinely sick of reinstalling the OS each time

Hey, so I have started to play Touhou these past few days, more specifically fan games (while I wait for Touhou 6 remake, cuz I heard I should start with that one) and so far I'm loving it.

I'm completely addicted, I really like these games

But there's a problem, my reaction speed is kinda slow. I understand that this game is more about pattern recognition than anything else, but you still need to react to the things you see on screen, and i'm struggling with that

I know you guys have been playing this for potentially decades, so i ask:
Do your reaction speed improve as you keep playing the games? Or did you follow some training/method to improve it?

Thanks!

I started playing this game a little while ago and I really like it, but the UI sometimes hurts the experience.

Yes, it is very pretty and looks nice, but traversing through it is a mess and there is a lot of questionable things that honestly just tires me.

Allow me to give some examples

Every single action in the menu takes too long to process, from collecting a quest's rewards to buying things, or even just loading up the game, it's annoying and makes me procrastinate.

Opening packs is specially annoying, I'm alright with swiping cards to reveal it cuz it's part of the PTCG experience, but i'm against the decision of just forcing me to swipe it "up" again to show the new cards appearing in my collection, it's unnecessary. Just let me swipe to reveal the cards, show the cards in my collection, and take me to the previous screen.

I also think that there should be a tab exclusive for your owned packs. What if I want to buy 10 packs but not open them immediately? And this would also fix the issue of quests pack rewards going to the gifts tab.

I feel like the battle screen is the most comfortable to use, but there are still a bunch of extremely annoying decisions.

First of all, why is the turn timer invisible for most of the time? So many times I accidentally thought for too long and the UI just blasts the 10 second timer in my face. I feel like it would be more interesting if the timer stayed beside you the whole time, pretty much like in chess.

and lastly, the thing that pisses me off the most about that screen is that the timer doesn't stop for animations. Picture this: You thought too much about evolving or not and then- BOOM, 10 seconds. You rush and evolve your mon, and has to watch solid 2-3 seconds of it break dancing on your hand, then you rush again and use a skill and still loses time due to it's animation. By the end of it, your turn is already over and you didn't attack.

But anyways, I'm not a UI/UX professional, those are my thoughts as an user. What do you guys think?

What's up! I figured i'd post one of my questions here since you guys are infinitely more qualified in this topic than i.
I've been reading the Art of War, more specifically the 1910 version by Lionel Giles. During the "Laying Plans" chapter, Sun Tzu says:

>The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one’s deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

>These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.

According to the book, this gets complemented by a guy called Tu Yu, who quotes another dude called Wang Tzŭ, who says:

>"Without constant practice, the officers will be nervous and undecided when mustering for battle; without constant practice, the general will be wavering and irresolute when the crisis is at hand."

My question is, what exactly did Wang Tzŭ want the officers to "constant practice" exactly?

To clarify my question a little more, I imagine that officers would be the ones leading their troops, so did he mean officers should constantly practice their individual combat skills, or they should constant practice their commanding and leadership skills? Or maybe both?

Is there any historical context that i'm missing?

For argument sake, let's just say that the person has a place to stay and eat for exactly one year, after that year they'd have to rent/buy a place to stay like any other person.

Let's set the location to Paris, and this person would try to enroll into École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Assume that person also is fully fluent in french.

Finally, assume that the AI Image generation tool doesn't need internet. And every time the person uses it, it "takes control" of the user's hand, making an exact replica of the AI image.

How far would that person go as an "artist"? Would their peers discover that there's something wrong?

I have recently started playing multiplayer survival games, Unturned specifically, and i love it, but there's something that always hinders my progress, that being anxiety

If you played Unturned, you know that it isn't a scary game, but I am thrown into a map with 70 other people, each being somewhere. I walk around, collecting resources, equipping armor and all i can think of is how someone called XxJimmyGamerHeadshotxX can appear out of thin air and kill me.

I go to the nearby city practically gritting my teeth, and whenever i hear the slightest player sound i just rush to a room and camp on the door until i think it's safe (this has saved my ass many times)

It's a type of anxiety that isn't harming, but also not the most pleasant feeling. Regardless, i find myself playing Unturned again and again.

My question is, does this anxiety disappear as i get more experienced in the game? Or is it "part of the fun"? Regardless, i'd like to deal with that cuz while this anxiety keeps me alert enough to avoid being killed, when confrontation does come i usually panic and fumble

What does it mean?
I was wiping out Rebirth and freeing everyone, and when i freed this one Hive slave it said

'Demon, do not wake'

and dipped. What does it mean?

I have been noticing in the past few days that the youtube player at times won't even start, it will load for all eternity

And when i turn ublock off it'll start normally, that is, after watching unskipable ads

Youtube ads really have turned unbereable, i turned ublock off for like 2 videos and i never want to do that again

So, i've followed the good old UC route
Gundam (1979) -> Gundam Zeta (TV Series) -> Gundam ZZ -> Char's counter attack
And pretty much most spin offs in between (like Igloo, 08th, War in the pocket, Stardust, etc)

I loved it, but it still left too many things open, things that i have a feeling could have been covered in other media.

Like, what exactly was Haman and Char's history? How did Char truly decide to turn earth into Frostpunk? What is Char's origins in the first place (i was told Gundam Origin wasn't canon?) and so on so on

Is there any manga/novel/book/manuals or any other media that can expand the information provided by the anime?

All i know is that there are multiple novels of Char's counter attack and each one goes in a different direction, or so i was told

Imagine this,
you are a Shek, but you are no warrior, which already makes you get scorn comments and judgemental stares.

But hey, you need to eat, so you specialize in cooking and decide to open a small bakery!

An entire battalion of Shek Warriors enter your shop and demand for food, and as you explain the prices they are aghast, how could you not give food to your kin for free? Were you contaminated by the greedy flatskins? Have you forgot Kral's teachings? Do you have no honor? Have you never slayed an enemy before?

So, let's say i have an armor
```
14% blunt resistance
19% cut resistance
70% cut resistance efficiency
```
and a chain shirt
```
17% blunt resistance
38% cut resistance
60% cut resistance efficiency

```

So, if my character gets damaged to the chest, when the armor tries to negate it those efficiency stats would be summed? Like
14 + 17 = 31% blunt resistance
19 + 38 = 57% cut resistance
70 + 60 = 130%... or maybe maxing out at 100%? cut efficiency

OR

My ARMOR will decrease the damage, and THEN my shirt decreases the damage that the armor couldn't block, and LASTLY my toughness damage resistance will decrease/increase the FINAL damage value?
