  • .> My one and only pretty cake

    ...so far! This looks amazing!

  • Definitely talk to your doc. (My GP prescribes my meds; the psychologist diagnosed and wrote a letter).

    I don't really have noticeable side effects. When I first tried the stuff I started at 30mg then at 40mg I started seeing lots of bright spots and went back to 30. Freaky experience.

    I've been on 30mg for years now. My heart doesn't usually race but some days I get a little jittery. I don't recall it being elevated back when I was using an exercise monitor. It probably doesn't help that I drink a double shot latte every morning with my meds. My BP did not seem to be affected by the lisdex last time I tested it on and off the ADHD meds. (I am on BP meds too).

    Worth mentioning, I am also on Effexor (venlafaxine) for depression and anxiety, which was diagnosed a decade before adhd-c. Prior to Effexor I was on Lexapro for a few years.

    When I was testing dosage, my PA said to increase 10mg every few days until I noticed it helping, then increase until I noticed side effects and then we would go with 10mg below that. Or something like that. Which is how I ended up at 30mg.

    I recall that I couldn't tell at first how much 30 helped vs 40 but now that I have more experience with the medicine and self evaluating my symptoms. The difference between 30mg and none is now very obvious.

    Although... I have been thinking about trying 40 again so I can re-evaluate, in case I get a bit more out of it without side effects this time. Maybe I will do that next time I'm up for a refill.

  • Totally worth the watch. It's so fascinating to see the differences, but more so the similarities, between then and now.

    Even though that age had its share of war, sorrow, infirmity, and so on, I have to wonder if there wasn't a sense of optimism from all of the rapid progress in science and technology. I doubt any of these people saw a world war coming in just two decades and a shakeup of the world order, the death of empires, and so forth.

    One of my hobbies is collecting pocket watches and my favorite, a ladies Elgin in an ornate gold plated case, was manufactured about a decade before these films were made. It is wild to think this watch could have been worn by someone in these films and then surviving so many years and so much change yet still ticking away and keeping time to this day.

  • With all the talk I may have to break down and give it a try. Haven't done an online shooter since medal of honor allied assault lol.

  • I imagine they're not awful fond of Russian invasions, either.

  • It isn't annoying. On the contrary, it is generally appealing, if you ask me.

    We hear our own voices differently than others do because our ears are connected to the same skull doing the speaking. It is really jarring to hear what you sound like to others. But if you're like me, you may get used to it if you edit videos of yourself enough times.

  • How much money was at stake? How many careers at stake? There you go.

  • Load average of 400???

    You could install systat (or similar) and use output from sar to watch for thresholds and reboot if exceeded.

    The upside of doing this is you may also be able to narrow down what is going on, exactly, when this happens, since sar records stats for CPU, memory, disk etc. So you can go back after the fact and you might be able to see if it is just a CPU thing or more than that. (Unless the problem happens instantly rather than gradually increasing).

    PS: rather than using cron, you could run a script as a daemon that runs sar at 1 sec intervals.

    Another thought is some kind of external watchdog. Curl webpage on server, if delay too long power cycle with smart home outlet? Idk. Just throwing crazy ideas out there.

  • This sounds familiar. For me, add masking ADHD over enthusiasm, and other factors.

  • Now I'm picturing you and your baby pals during a play date years ago, sitting around a card table, holding cards, and smoking stogies...

  • I don't miss that life. Hope it doesn't totally blow up. Be sure to have the rubber chicken handy. It will fend off many evil malfunctions.

  • Naw, you're good. Change nothing about yourself. :) You are spot on and you have my upvotes.

    Folks are in angry mob mode and can't be bothered with even a hint of nuance or reason, apparently. Even if you are convinced Boeing totally killed the guy and state that clearly...

    Anyway, peace out man. I hope for once corporate scum faces consequences.

  • I sure hope you can. What would that require?

    If you can find somewhere affordable in Colorado (unfortunately that would be in the sticks teeming wirh right wing nuts) I can highly recommend it.

  • It just takes one psycho in management with their own ass on the line to do something insane to cover their tracks.

  • And the guy at the front desk ran an errand for five hours.

  • I would be going to pretty great lengths to ensure I didn't get Epsteined or, if I did, the mfers behind it got theirs. I'd be sending hand written letters to every goddamn person knew that I wasn't suicidal.

    And I would be really careful about my opsec. Oh, you thought I was at that motel? Fuck you pricks, I ditched the rental, took a bus and switched five times, changed clothes twice and snuck to a culvert to sleep, you fucking corpo assassins. Good luck with that. .!..
