ADHD has a hyperactive and an inattentive presentation. It sounds like OP has an inattentive presentation.

Symptoms include:
>Unintentionally spacing out during conversations/lectures/videos/etc.. Note: Spacing out means being distracted by other thoughts (eg. unrelated projects/problems, other conversations, new ideas possibly kind of related to the current topic, etc..) not merely "not thinking".
>Starting lots of projects but never finishing any despite making significant progress.
>Taking up lots of hobbies but never seeming to have time for them.
>Generally being disorganized. There's also a meme about these people "organizing" things in piles.
>Engaging in risky behavior (i.e. thrill seeking).
>Aggressive driving, sometimes lots of speeding tickets. Related to the last symptom.
>etc...

Suggesting shit like exercise or other activities can actually backfire for ADHD people with inattentive presentation because it really just gives them more stuff to distract themselves with. The goal in using amphetamines to treat these people is that it forces them to hyperfocus on the goal in front of them until it is finished.

If you really believe that then you are an idiot, and like I said before, the distinction between reality and dreams is very clear, especially in lucid dreaming where you have control over reality like you cannot ever have in the waking world, because its internal, not real like reality.

Suppose you found some data behind a dumpster; it has 3 dimensions and seems to be about local houses. The columns in your data are:
>Internet connection speed
>House size in square feet
>House size in square meters
Now, suppose you were to run PCA on this. It would most likely two PCs, one for
>Internet connection speed
and one for
>House size
Since internet connection speed and house size are independent variables and PCA is a linear transformation then it won't magically merge them into a single PC. Also, due to measurement discrepancies (i.e. maybe two different people measured the house sizes independently leading to slightly different values) the new PC for house size won't be exactly the same as the other two but it will try to capture as much data.

Now, suppose some fucking dipshit comes along and decides that only the first PC is necessary because "lul it captures basically all of the variance rite?". That dipshit is basically you.

>During a full D-T experimental campaign in 1997 JET achieved a world record peak fusion power of 16 MW which equates to a measured gain Q, of approximately 0.7. Q is the ratio of fusion power produced to input heating power. In order to achieve break-even, a Q value greater than 1 is required. A self-sustaining burning plasma requires at least Q=5 (since the alpha particles carry one fifth the fusion energy) and a power plant requires at least Q=10.[7] As of 1998, a higher Q of 1.25 is claimed for the JT-60 tokamak; however, this was not achieved under real D-T conditions but extrapolated from experiments performed with a pure deuterium (D-D) plasma. Similar extrapolations have not been made for JET, but it is likely that increases in Q over the 1997 measurements could now be achieved if permission to run another full D-T campaign was granted. Work has now begun on ITER to further develop fusion power.

Daily reminder that JET can already produce net power and ITER will verify that a commercial fusion power plant is possible.Magnetic confinement fusion works perfectly fine and has advanced over the last 30 years into something that might actually work and probably will.
there's absolutely nothig pipe-dreamy about it whatsoever.
