I'm in that finding out phase at the moment. Based on a conversation with my GP she prescribed 5mg extended release Adderall while I'm waiting on my neurologist testing next month. This dose doesn't "hit me" or make me feel feel necessarily different, but I've been shocked at moments where I've completed something I've started and I don't have the overwhelming urge to take a nap and check out for the rest of the day because I have no more resources to function with!

I'm terrible with remembering vitamins or supplements, so when I go to bed at night I have an insulated cup full of ice and water next to my bed that I rest my glasses on. I balance the pill bottle on top of my glasses. When I wake up I reach for my glasses and end up with a pill bottle in my hand so I take it before I get out of bed. I'm blind without my glasses, so so far so good.

FWIW, his subtitles are often edited with substitutions, so if you don't listen to the audio you'll occasionally miss out on a punchline or other descriptives. It's not necessary for his messages that people have to read and listen at the same time, but it's kind of like Easter eggs lol .

I've tried strategically placing citrus scented candles near plants and objects to deter our young man. Unfortunately he doesn't give a shit. He was a friendly city stray that was picked up and we adopted him last year. The absolute lack of shits he has to give about anything probably helped him survive so well. No matter how convenient or inconvenient you make something, he's still going to do what he wants. At least he's not a monster, just obnoxiously friendly with no personal boundaries.

I work in hospice and Macy catheters have been incredibly helpful for symptom management in homes when patients need extra support and we're trying to avoid moving to inpatient.

But if he's brain dead and still on a ventilator, I don't think the corner would be aware of this until he was officially pronounced and the ventilator removed.

My ex had a nice one that he used about once a week. Made his kitchen smell like fast food after a few months. I'd like to have one except for that

There's a guy on YouTube doing videos about his haunted apartment "but the rent is really, really really cheap!" Part of the gag is that there's a doppelganger that keeps trying to talk him into going into the basement, and will try to trick you too. The bit is all kinds of craziness, it's pretty fun.

Years ago my only exposure to coffee was through Dunkin and Starbucks. In 2021 I splurged on a breville bambino plus and grinder to try making my own because regularly purchasing from either was too costly.

I don't consider myself a coffee snob either (the shots I pull probably taste like shit to anyone who knows better) but I've learned to make a latte that tastes good to me! Since then I've been given Starbucks gift cards around the holidays, and damn - they're almost painful to use but have their place in an emergency. It's totally the thought that counts.

I radially dice my onion. To me it seems like the horizontal and vertical cuts leave more uneven bits considering the layers already present. I angle my "vertical" cuts towards the center, then start chopping.

on Corn rule · c/196 · 23 pts · 1y

The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it's less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.
