Strange. I can still see it. Even when not logged in.

The only good thing Idaho is for is pumping your own gas after driving through Oregon.

I've been on 70mg of Vyvanse (Elvanse) for a few years. It's just enough to get me through a 10 hour work day. Everyone's bodies react differently.

You'll get used to the medication, so a given dose will feel like it's doing less over time. If I don't take my meds for a few days, my pulse will be elevated when I start taking them again. After a few days of that, it's about 10 BPM higher than my non-medicated heart rate. I've found the first day of a new stimulate medication to be not at all representative of what long term use is like. After being on a few stimulant medications for a while, it eventually feels like I'm my normal self, just more focused.

Do not split the pills over food without talking to a pharmacist first. With stuff like Adderall XR, splitting the capsule can make the meds instant release. I'm not sure if Vyvanse is the same way or not. Either way, don't rely on an idiot on the Internet (me). Ask a professional.

Personally, I've found Adderall XR to work decently well for 6 to 8 hours. That's not enough for me, but it might be for you. A smaller dose of Elvanse is also a good idea. Personally, I'd go with changing dosage before changing meds. If the smaller dose is still not going well, try a different med. I tend to give myself a couple of weeks on the med before I think about changing it unless I have an extreme reaction. I only did one day of Ritalin because it made me extremely aggressive, for example.

Good luck.

One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.

Lol. The combined market cap of those 5 companies is over a trillion dollars. So they own a combined 0.01% of those companies. Whooptie fucking doo

Reddit does shitty stuff, but at least I'm able to find stuff on there. Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me. It's not easily searchable, and search engines can't index it. If people aren't fastidious about replying to messages they're responding to, it's just a nonsense stream of consciousness from dozens of people.

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy's comment nesting is excellent. It's very easy to follow conversations.

The plane is 34 years old. It's probably more likely it's Delta's lack of maintenance than a problem with Boeing.

Philips screws are awful. They strip if you look at them wrong. Flatheads should only be used on thumbscrews just in case you need a little extra torque from a screwdriver.

Torx and Hex are excellent.

Tangentially related, but are job fairs even worth it? In my limited experience, you wait in a long line for someone to tell you to apply online. I was better off getting a list of employers who were attending, and then looking through each of their websites.

Cool.

The average income in India is 25x ish less than that of the US. If we scale the $75 million cost to land on the moon by 25 times, we get $1.8 billion. The Perseverance rover's cost is estimated at $2.75 billion and that thing landed on Mars.

It's incredibly impressive that India has landed on the moon on their 2nd try. Nothing should take away from that, and India should be very proud of their achievement. But geez this is a braindead article. Yes, poorer countries can pay people less do the same amount of work as someone in another country.
