Mine was 45mg methylphenidate (as ritilin) time release in the morning and 15mg after school. For a total daily dose of 55mg, (which is more than the 35mg max daily dose they’d give me now as an adult, and way more than the 18mg I actually take occasionally). I was 90lbs until I started cheeking it at 11-12, and got punished both for not eating dinner AND for “stealing” food from the fridge at 11pm when it all finally wore off and I got desperately hungry (also for cheeking the pills but that’s its own problem). Thanks for the food issues, fam. They work so well that living with people makes me feel guilty in my own house!

Sorry we both dealt with shit.

My test administrator genuinely laughed while I was doing the test because I couldn’t stop asking questions/making comments about it.

Apparently that specific test is administered with a human present for exactly that reason. Clear as day indicator of Overactive Brain Disorder.

I was diagnosed at 5 originally but didn’t have any records of it because I stopped medication at 13, the earliest age my parents would listen to me about how bad I felt on medication (was on a super high dose they wouldn’t even give me as an adult, no wonder I hated it) and then raw-dogged the next 20 years, so they skipped a lot of the truly basic stuff and went right for a confirmation test of impulse control. Of which I have absolutely none.

I have a 2023 chevy bolt and I just pulled the fuse for all that stuff. It doesn’t really disable anything important. If you still want navigation or location-based charging, you can remove the onstar module behind the screen without issue, and the video tutorial made it look pretty damned easy to DIY. That disables all the spyware/internet stuff but leaves everything else working. I’ll probably do it eventually, for location-based charging and nothing else, but its very low priority at the moment, cuz I hardly ever go anywhere that can use the full level 1 12amp pull (my friends and family aren’t confident their wiring can handle it, which is totally fair, I don’t use 12amp at home for the same reason, and I’m getting a new outlet installed that will make it a level 2 charger anyway)

It also has physical buttons for all the important stuff. That and being able to disable the spyware were my two main criteria, with cargo space as a close third (used to have a civic coupe, loved the size, but useless for moving stuff)

since all vehicles require yearly registration with mileage anyway.

I am 100% certain my state doesn’t keep track of mileage, even superficially, because I have never looked at my odometer for any paperwork reasons.

Registration yes, mileage no, and even emission testing varies by county/city.

You should see the damage farm equipment causes.

I pay my EV fee ($175 every year) even tho I barely drive, which is why I got an EV (old car needed to be replaced anyway). In the last year prior to getting an EV, I filled up my 10-gallon tank maybe four times. At 18 cents per gallon I probably paid $8 toward road repair via gas taxes, so I’m paying way way way more now. Farm equipment doesn’t pay shit to fix the copious damages they cause going between their fields, since most of their gas use isn’t on the roads and many large farms have their own fuel pumps and buy bulk.

I like your proposal, but I’d add a HUGE flat fee to large farm equipment, or just entirely ban it from paved roads, where it very specifically is not meant to be.

Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. They aren’t doing a whole lot of hunting in the middle of the day regardless of their pupil size.

As long as they can find some “cause”, then you’re fired and ineligible for unemployment benefits.

This is a common misconception, and everyone should apply for unemployment if they lose their job for any reason, including if they quit because they felt pressured to leave (constructive dismissal).

They need an actual good cause, like actual damages to the company or something, and they need to be willing and able to back up their claim that you are ineligible, or the unemployment offices will side with you and award it anyway. They generally favor employees over employers in decisions, because they know the bullshit companies do to not pay out.

Lose your job? Apply. You have literally nothing to lose.

Wonder what the largest naturally-occurring pyrite cube is, hypothetically speaking. Like is there an upper limit on size or are borg cubes grown and then hollowed out?

Because he did have it covered…

That’s it. That’s what it is.

He’s in the same niche as Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Insufferable douchbag.

Also, Americans tend not to use “holiday”, we say “vacation” unless we are talking about a specific day which is a holiday, which doesn’t really fit this context. Most of them aren’t big spends, other than Christmas.

About 100 hours on the final boss of FF8 because I fucked up and saved right before the fight with basically nothing in my inventory. I repeated the fight for literal weeks, trying different strategies and item use patterns and stuff.

It was very rewarding to complete, but I’ll never play that game again.

At least he put paint to canvas.

Im up to two unique and lovely ideas and neither of them has made any progress because WHAT IF i cant do the idea justice? I know I’ve spent literal years thinking about it but WHAT IF it isn’t what i had in mind???

“I hope that helps” is my way of not getting fired for saying “go fuck yourself; you should have read the documentation I made sure we link to copiously, that happens to have been written and compiled entirely by me, and if you’d even looked at it you’d know how big of an ass you are”

I watched whole videos about repaving with used bricks and why we don’t do that for all low-speed roads globally is just beyond me.

My favorite thing these days is putting my windows laptop in airplane mode before installing anything. It goes all buggy and aggressive about “we don’t know if this is a threat!!!” Meanwhile it always flags these installers as a threat anyway, and offline whining is easier to get through.

Yes yes, I know, windows bad mmmmkay, all my other computers are linux, I keep this on windows for “but moooooom I don’t want to have to mess with a load of shit just to test this game to see if I even like it enough to go through the arduous process to install on linux” reasons

It was so widespread that I’ve never been to a small town, in the region I grew up in, that didn’t have an old passenger rail station that was repurposed into something else. Your map starts well into the 1900s, my area started being built up hundreds of years before that. Shit my house is almost 100 years older, alone.

My current small town has THREE, ffs, but no, this rail can only be used for freight, because reasons

My mother had grandparents who were citizens, but because she died young, she isn’t able to claim it, which I think makes me intelligible, even though both her older and younger sisters are still alive and themselves eligible and may claim it under those updated rules.

I almost qualify, but my mom died when I was young, and she’s the one who would have been eligible, and me through her. 😭
