I’ve just read through the press release. It’s tentative (as all good science tends to be), but looks a lot more reliable than previous announcements.
Basically they’ve investigated, and can’t figure out any mechanism that could create this result, without life being involved.
On earth, we would call this obvious signs of microbe activity.
Uncompressed 1080 is already approaching the eyes resolution limit, when viewing it in a living room environment. 4K is close to the monitor usage limit.
The reason that 4K seems better is often down to bandwidth and colour depth.
There’s zero benefit to an 8K TV. An 8K monitor might be useful, but is still well into the diminishing returns curve.
There’s still some ground to be made up with colours and frame rates, but resolution is effectively maxed out already.
It depends on the hose and the flow rate. They can vary a lot.
Also, your not just clearing the stagnant water, but also anything that was growing in it.
That’s executive functioning failure. It’s common with ADHD (which is strongly comorbid with Autism) but not unique to it.
Basically, the part of your brain dealing with task focus is either asleep or exhausted. At that point, you are running on pure impulsiveness.
If you get locked in, the best bet is to stop banging your head against a brick wall. Stop trying to do the big task, that is stressing you. Instead aim for a small, neutral or positive task to lock on to. E.g. throwing together a sandwich, or going to the loo, rather than “I REALLY need to get my taxes done!” It’s a far from perfect method (it still fails often), but it does help kickstart you back to higher brain thinking.
Autism and ADHD are highly layered with maladaptations. You get a domino effect occuring, with the obvious symptoms down the chain. Other conditions can function similarly, and pull in the same maladaptations.
It’s also worth noting that ADHD and autism are spectrums. It’s possible to have mild tendencies that don’t technically qualify. When other conditions cause disruptions, the symptoms can get more pronounced, or lead to additional maladaptations.
I know that good cops, in the UK apparently love the cameras etc. They make their job a lot simpler. It also lets them filter out bad officers. They make everyone’s life harder, and so they want them either gone, or retrained.
Ironically, this is (partially) why government social support services originally started in England. Back in the Victorian period, the rich realised it was cheaper to pay a bit more tax to keep the poor fed, than pay for security to stop them being robbed. It was also cheaper than locking them all up.
