lysp commented on ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes   bmj.com/content/390/bmj-2... · Posted by u/bookofjoe

The DEA put Adderall on its list of the most abused medication, and limits production of it and investigates doctors who prescribe too much of it. This is a response to the problems with the abuse of legal opiates a decade ago- the DEA now takes potential abuse of legal drugs much more seriously and adderall (an amphetamine- it's a cousin of meth) is at a high risk of abuse.

Your psychiatrist is trying to deal with the DEA monitoring, and doesn't want to be the one who first puts you on it, but continuing an existing Rx is not treated the same by the DEA, as I understand it. So the online doc is putting her license more at risk to a DEA investigation, but your in-person doctor is less exposed.

N.B. this is how I understand the things that my wife has said to me. She is actually a pharmacist who has to deal with these things, and I might have garbled something.

The other thing on top of limiting its production, it's not just for the US, it's worldwide.

Australia has a shortage of various types of ADHD medication due to this DEA production limit too.

Also, the Australian Government requested increased production to cover these shortages, and the DEA rejected that request.

So those limitations have a worldwide effect due to the US being one of only a few countries that produce these drugs.

I have a friend who recommends getting good sleep as the first step in solving any problem.

It is pretty nearly true.

Except for those who can't get good sleep (or even average sleep).

Also serve the default website (via IP) from a basically empty self-signed certificate that doesn't give away any domain names or owner details.

I've never tried jj, but recently I discovered lazygit which in my opinion comes pretty close to perfection.

Rebasing can be done instantly (reorder commits, fixups, squash), I can extract and reverse custom patches from previous commits, I can partially stage files, undo.

One think I like is that it explains what it does in terms of git commands. So it helps a little to have a good git mental model, and as such I guess it doesn't solve the same thing as jj.

There is lazyjj which follows a similar theme. Haven't used enough of either to give a good comparison other than lazyjj being earlier in its journey.

Which explains why the administration has acted the way it did.

What has the US become? I am not surprised by the fact that Trump is a fascist, this is a thing I knew in 2016. What surprised me is how little popular resistance he has gotten and with which ease the US population gave away its rights.

I remember a time where americans scolded me online for my countries laws preventing certain types of speech (related to nazi insignia and Hitler), you guys do realize that if your government can just make up bullshit about you and send you to a torture camp abroad without due process, that free speech is no longer free?

Back then you people were adamant that your second amendment was there to protect free speech. But my suspicion back then was that this was mostly a thing guys who grew up in the comfort of a first world civilization would say to come across as tough and manly. And guess what.

I also put this blame on the US supreme court too.

1. Presidential absolute immunity decision.

2. The fact that they constantly consider the dozens of presidential appeals.

If DT has no risk of jail, he does what he likes with impunity. Also the SC has allowed him to not take any lower court decisions seriously, by not rejecting his numerous vexatious appeals.

No accountability, no risk of punishment = free reign.

Tokens got leaked on BotGhost and BotGhost straight up REFUSED to instruct their customers to rotate their keys. I am with Discord, as BotGhost has shown to not be able to securely store keys

Uh....did trump not say "its all gone", Bibi said the same while Iranians said "a few months setback, nothing more"......

So.... whose lying now? Still the Iranians ?

They were aware the site was at risk of strike prior to it happening.

1 - they moved uranium off site (or may do that regularly as standard practice).

2 - centrifuges were likely moved off site just to prior to the strike.

The whole facility looks to only take a small area, around the size of a basketball court, so have no doubt this will be able to set up in another small area. Possibly multiple decentralised areas after this attack.

The statement "lies the government told during COVID - masks don’t work, then they work, vaccines stop transmission, then they don’t."

..is just simply not true. Nobody said masks didn't work. They said that cloth masks werent as effective as surgical masks. And it wasn't about protection of self, it was about not spreading the virus. Vaccine effectiveness was also something that was being guessed at first, and then corrected. Nothing wrong with either, as this was an unprecedented time.

This distrust of government sentiment would be valid if your camp a) had actual source of truth beyond Joe Rogan , and b) didn't overwhelmingly vote for Trump who lies WAY more about everything.

Original comment was flagged, so jumping onto this one.

The phrases used by @refurb are commonly repeated phrases, but they are missing nuance.

Masks absolutely work, just ask any nurse who didn't catch COVID while working 12-hour shifts for weeks in a COVID ward. The issue like you said is the right type of mask, and wearing it properly.

Half the time people were wearing masks with their nose poking out, or under their chin. Even wearing it fully covering - if it isn't airtight, and you haven't pinched the wired nose connection removing the small gap, it still won't work.

Similar with vaccines, science isn't exact, so a statement made at the start of the pandemic is not going to be the same 12-18 months later. There were dozens of variants of COVID each with different levels of risk. A vaccine doesn't guarantee you won't catch the virus, but can minimise or reduce symptoms, reduce spread, prime your body with some antibodies for your body to start combating it sooner.

So it's easy to say someone "lied". But data changes. Also, you have to make statements for the general population (lowest common denominator), not people with an educated / scientific / medical background.

Vaccines, masks, social distancing are all part of the Swiss Cheese Model which will reduce risk, but not eliminate it.
