Uranium 🟩

TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?

…

I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa’s Law 2010 is where it’s use was superceded in federal usage.

I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it’s still very much within living memory for some.

At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.

I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can’t really keep a word from developing it’s own life.

I will note, my opinion doesn’t hold any real weight here, as I’m the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of “Mental retardation”

The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

Surprised Pikachu face

You see it in other drug using communities; it’s really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

Personally I’ve found NAC helps, where it didn’t before when my meds still add their “magic”

Making their own ADHD meds? (If my understanding of your comment is right)

Cause I mean it’s not hard but incredibly illegal, as Adderall is just amphetamine salts in a slightly different ratio than what you’d get by synthesizing it yourself.

It’s not exactly closed source

Now, vyvanse would be quite a bit harder to clandestinely produce but not impossible, just as illegal though.

Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.

Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.

What is your standard dose?

And out of curiosity are you American?

For some reason Americans seem to be way more adverse to having generic versions of medications, I don’t know if it’s to do with how the FDA does things, or to do with the amount of medication advertising there, but in the UK no-one typically cares if a medication is generic as long as delivery mechanism and dose are the same.

So I’ll almost certainly get a different brand of sertraline each month, and a different brand of dexamphetamine. The only medication which is brand name that I get is Elvanse, but even then that’s produced by different manufacturers but branded all the same, just under licence from the patent owner.

Tbh the hypothermia sounds like vasoconstriction and/or possibly low blood sugar.

The vasoconstriction can be caused by the higher dose, especially if you consume caffeine.

I had to quit coffee for 8 months due to the horrible vasoconstriction/chills I’d get with it, after those 8 months I eventually started drinking tea, without getting chills anywhere near as much, now when I do it’s an indicator that I need food, especially if my hands have a slight jitter.

In all honestly higher doses of methylphenidate can leave you feeling somewhat depersonalised/disassociated, even changes in dose-timings can cause it, taking more smaller doses can also change the methylphenidate/blood concentration which you may be subconsciously picking up on…

Other things that can throw blood concentrations off: Grapefruit (fruit or juice) Vitamin C Excessive coffee/soft drinks

I’m really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue…

Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive…

Genuinely don’t remember how I did it… I want to say something to do with symlinks…

Honestly, it takes surprisingly little recoil to do damage.

My dad managed to split his eyebrow with a little .177 BSA 12ftlb air rifle.

He didn’t think and rested the scope against his eyebrow; was a blunt, cresent shaped cut. Certainly a good way to learn what not to do

Am I missing something? What does this have to do with cyber security?

Oh that aspect was, other aspects were less bad; when I was a teenager, I kept asking my mum if I could have the basement for a hangout spot/workshop, she eventually let me.

When I started down there I was just a tad bit shorter than the doorways, by the time I left, I was having to crouch when I stood under the regularly ceilings.

Some aspects were good; it let me develop a love for taking things apart and rebuilding them, designing and building things from scratch, working with friends on projects, etc.

Some aspects were less than optimal; I had a 3d printer running almost 24/7 down there, creating a lot of nasty dust + I used to smoke back then, so the air quality of the space was terrible.

The big mistake was likely sleeping down there, being in that environment basically 24/7 was certainly unhealthy.

As someone who was significantly more sedentary, and lived in a environment where I couldn’t stand up straight for a few years, yeah, I was getting issues from this around 16+, late 20’s now and I have scoliosis and an asymmetry of my thorax…

Robot backs when?

Did you take your ADHD meds while you were ill?

I often get that if I take my ADHD meds when I’m sick; I’m either thinking of loads of different things and then eventually get motivated to attempt something with mixed results, or I don’t take my ADHD med and have a rest/relax day where I go I’m just gonna play a game, cosied up in bed or watch something and fall asleep

Yeah, it’s a new leak for the same (?) aircraft, which makes this somehow even funnier

It creates an few different odd possibilities though, in the UK you can be married before 18, let’s say an 18 year old wife and her 17 year old husband went on their honeymoon to Dubai, would they legally be allowed to consummate their marriage?

Would Dubai recognise their marriage?

Was there any spyware/telemetry found in red star OS?

I remember a good few years back finding a leaked image for it and having some fun with it ended up throwing it on an open Gdrive link, then a few years later someone leaked a more up to date version that tried to look like macOS.

30mg daily with an optional booster of 5mg instant release has been the sweet spot for me.

Over the span of like 6 years I started on 30mg, went down to 20mg for a while until a bit of a tolerance kicked in then back up to 30mg, eventually got the 5mg booster which I normally only take a 1/4 of a pill for the actual boost I need without effecting my sleep too much, but even then if I take the booster for a week I’ll certainly start to feel drained, so it’s an option not a requirement for me.

I imagine you’re probably going to be better off feeling a little bit of the randomness associated with you being on the lower dose. The medicine is supposed to help you function a bit more like a regular person, not a robot. Humans have got randomness/noise in their thoughts, we aren’t supposed to be robots.

I’ve had what you’re experiencing but on methylphenidate; it doesn’t really go away until you lower the dose or stop.

Other things that can impact the robot feeling is excessive caffeine before bed, and nicotine usage.

I think if you’re asking this question; you already know that you want to go back down and just need some confirmation that it’s a good idea 👍

Silly one, and but do tanks run on diesel?

Every other heavy machine I can think of typically uses diesel for their engines: tractors, lorries, boats.

Also diesel is less flammable then petrol or hydrogen in the event of a spill of leak…

Gotta ask have you been in school in the past 20 years?

I’m not sure if any state school has lessons divided by gender aside from P.E. and possibly some Sex Ed lessons…

Gender division in schooling was certainly a thing in the 70’s and probably the 80’s.

I’m honestly surprised no-one has built an extension to automatically opt out of them, or at least the major cookie providers interfaces.

I realise there are many extensions which outright block cookies, etc; I’m meaning specifically the annoying dialogues you describe

Congratulations! You’re our 1,000,000th casualty!
