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.
How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.
This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China
If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective
To add to this, it’s a hell of a lot easier to cross language barriers with the the alphanumeric product name than it is with the English name, which only works for English and would need accurately translating for every language&product for every region you want to buy/sell in.
It would be an absolute nightmare to try for every product that’s sold in multiple regions, etc
This is cool, what other tools/techniques have you used to achieve good beyond the pixelsorting?
The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy
2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.
If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.
I’m sure people said similar to the French Resistance regarding the Nazis/Vichy government…
I’m gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you’re experiencing something close to a manic episode.
When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?
Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?
How long have you been feeling like this?
Do you have someone you can communicate the way you’re feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?
Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you’re probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you’re probably not God.
Don’t worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it’s likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what’s going on.
The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I’m feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:
“This too shall pass”, it’s a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.
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…
I assume you’ve come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha
This guy gets why I was initially misunderstanding
Lmao, the false outrage over me not knowing that they use the same form factor for more than one test…
I’d only ever come across it for COVID tests, the only pregnancy tests I’ve interacted with/seen advertised have been the stick versions.
The UK COVID test were all using this plastic moulding (minus the embossed letters) and I’ve never seen a pregnancy test that wasn’t a stick that you pee on?
And if you’re aware that it says hCG (which I admittedly missed before commenting), then I think you answered your own question…
If this isn’t a joke; this looks like a COVID test to me…
Edit: TIL they use that form factor for other tests/and that not all modern pregnancy tests are sticks that you pee on…
Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;
Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.
If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water
I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.
Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.
I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent
This should really be the canary in the coal mine for just how bad things are going to get.
Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?
I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.
And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?
Hmm, that’s interesting but IIRC Tyrosine itself isn’t all that sour when tasted, nor are really any other amino acids I can think of aside from possibly Taurine, I assumed it was a small amount of hydrolysis of the acetyl group was occurring to enable the taste difference, but if you’ve got some more context I’d love to hear it
Get some malic acid if you want it to be a different type of sour, or tartaric acid if you want it to be more tart.
Oh actually other suggestions; buy some N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (Often called NALT), it’s incredibly sour and slightly sweet, once again different from from the fruit acids (malic, citric, tartaric). NALT is a precursor to Tyrosine an amino acid. You need only the tiniest amount on the tongue to get the affect. The sourness is from the acetyl group, and I think the slight sweetness is from the tyrosine/or the complete structure, as related compounds are used as artificial sweeteners.
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”
