Being the only defender at a breakdown is an awful feeling, everyone's looking to blow you up from a full sprint & you're just there, straddling your downed mate holding tight to their jersey like an asshole. Also refs don't call through the gate enough

Oh shit, and here I was thinking 'fuck you rocks' lying just below the surface were the worst thing a paddler could encounter, not an ambush hervabore's tusks goring your thigh then pulling you under!

Gundam (but Roman)-ass character names. Seeing it where some audience member has some conversation with Driver during the movie which seems curiously weird

Global achievement recorded in Israel - melanoma incidence rates have declined by 30% among Jewish women and stability has been observed among Jewish men

After a government education program to promote sunscreen use lmao.

Among the Arab population in Israel, melanoma is a rare disease and the morbidity rates amount to no more than a handful of cases.

How do you get the 30% reduction if you're not as "white skinned" as we've been led to believe? Sounds like you're just thin skinned because you know you're repeating history.

lysdexamphetamine (Vyvanse) is an interesting prodrug version of Adderall that often gets joked about by Felix & a low dosage might address both the short half life of Ritalin while not keeping you too wired to sleep.

The strategy for Adderall XR is having slow release encapsulation, plus different amphetamine salts which take varied amounts of time to become active.

Vyvanse instead attaches a lysine amino acid to the amphetamine molecule, rendering it inert until an enzyme in your bloodstream cleaves off the lysine, yielding the active form.

This prodrug strategy eliminates variables that might affect the release rate of the active drug from an XR capsule before it hits your bloodstream, meaning you get a "spikier" release profile instead of a low & slow consistent dose curve. Variables like a lower stomach pH, which promotes quicker degradation of encapsulation material or how fast the various salts dissociate from the active amphetamine molecule. With the lysine prodrug it doesn't matter how much of the prodrug enters your bloodstream, it's release rate is tied to how quickly that enzyme can cleave the lysine off the amphetamine.

They're a feddie plot to divide us spacenoids & steal money for dues that we could otherwise have spent on a PlayStation 17! I read it in the latest Q drop posted by those cyber newtypes at the 4Chanagan Institute

Inspiring words, oh great Degwin! With undying revolutionary zeal for the spacenoid cause, I shall triple my efforts as an optics tech at the colony laser!

Idk if you're taking requests but if so can you have Degwin speak about his beautiful daughter, Kycillia, & future son in law Jared M'quve?

With the inherent biases present in any LLM training model, the issue of hallucinations that you've brought up, alongside the cost of running an LLM at scale being prohibitive to anyone besides private-state partnerships, do you think that will allay conspiracists' valid concerns about the centralization of information access, a la the reduction in quality google search results over the past decade and a half?

GOOD advice. I called a uh, "pharmacological audible" switching from Sertraline (Zoloft) to Bupropion XR by asking an RN to prescribe the latter during my 1st quarter of pharm sci/med chem PhD after the Sertraline showed signs it definitely wasn't working. Felt much better but they still mastered me out a couple years later. I went off it during COVID just to see how I'd fare without & was mostly fine at my 1st job out of school working at a drug delivery startup, but have been considering going back on it; like MeowZedong said, this is a small field & I feel like I'm having a hard time staying motivated to apply for job listings that may get as many as ~500 applicants—all more credentialed than I—ever since that 4 person startup I was working for went under last year.

One thing to note with Bupropion is skipping 4 days can cause mild amphetamine psychosis, so don't learn that the hard way when transferring the prescription to a pharmacy that's closed on weekends. 3-chloro- N-tert butylcathinone, where cathinone is the active ingredient of khat, might've been a giveaway with a pharmacophore like that!

Painful to read. You missed your chance to make a hot tub with your beam saber & invite them to skinny dip right then and there

I'm sure they would, winging seems much more analogus to windsurfing than kiteboarding ever felt (disclaimer you're hearing this take from a person who last windsurfed at a clinic for teens, and only got up on a kite board once in my early 20s).

With winging you've got the flexibility in changing wind conditions by bringing different sized wings & the portability of kite gear, but actions like jibing and tacking with a wing seem more familiar to what you do when windsurfing vs flying a kite. Manipulating the wing & it's angle of attack into the wind feels like you're working a windsurf sail, only it's leading edge is parallel with the water instead of upright & you no longer have a boom flailing about which might concuss you.

Again, I've never gotten up on the hydrofoil & I hear you need exacting foot placement/balance in order to not drive it into the drink. I had a hard enough time transitioning from kneeling to standing whenever I caught a big enough gust to pop up on the wing board. However, the best part was having the option of simply letting go of the wing whenever I needed to depower. That's what makes it feel safer to me than previous windsports
