I get it though. I love driving cars, busses and trucks. It’s a lot of fun. But the fun isn’t worth the resources it takes to make, maintain and pollute.

Honestly. I wish my country wasn’t sacked by the rich who “wanted to lower taxes” but only ended up decreasing the funding for essential services. Services the poor rely on more than the rich. Healthcare and public education mainly. If we didn’t have vampires at the helm, we’d probably have more taxes going to public services. And heck, I would have loved our country to pay tax for “free” public transport. That would be so much more efficient, safe and affordable for everyone.

Because rn, my LPG chevrolet spark is more affordable than a train subscription. Gonna give my ol car to a family member though. She needs it more. Living in a rural area and needing to travel pretty far for her work. Public transport would be 1.5-2hrs travel while driving is about 45min.

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. Rural area’s can be a pain to reach. Especially with luggage.

You guys have trains?

Depends. I had 4 at 90°. Only one hurt a little. They caused pockets, which are hard to clean (impossible by yourself) and can accelerate bone loss. I removed 3 of them. 2 by a jaw surgeon. They were creating a space bewteen molars deeper inside the bone, while also creating an opening at the top. Nasty.

Chronic inflamation of the gums don’t hurt either. Best way to tell is by a mouth hygiënist. If your gums bleed easily while flossing, it’s a good idea to keep flossing. Takes about 1-2 weeks before the gums calm down and the swelling dissipates. I use those tiny round brushes to get in between. If you start using those, m start with the thinnest wire. The metal should absolutely not scrape against the teeth, only the brush.

Taken years to form that habit…

Shoutout to ADHDcentral. They tried to make the process as clear and accessible as possible. With automated reminders.

Nice. Same here. AuDHD at 29. Got a chance to try out methylfenidate. Trying 27mg slow release now. The lower dose of 18mg did nothing, but fucked me up after a week of trying out.

So far so good. Gonna warn you though, it still takes work, but it’s easier to “just do stuff.” It’s as if I have a gas pedal now, instead of a button to move the car. As if I can choose to work at a lower rpm. Running on idle is possible now, and being idle (such as waiting 15min for the train) doesn’t bother me. As if I can choose what to allocate working memory to. Allowing me to manage my dyslexia and high associative thinking better.

I also notice satiety and thirst. Something I didn’t feel before.

I can quit stop doing “fun” stuff and switch to doing “less fun” stuff. Going from playing a video game, to studying! It never worked this way. I was only ever able to start study in the morning. Once I caved into gaming, it was game over.

Reading is hard, but I am managing to get myself to start reading. I seem to be able to do stuff even when I don’t “feel” like doing it. Like laundry! Still hard, but not impossible.

Does nothing for my forgerfulness though, and the mental hyperactivity isn’t zen. So the dose may be still too low for me. I was only able to experience “the zen” with 10mg fast working on the testing day. But the rebound caused me to experience something akin to a stroke and pass out for 5min and wake up in confusion.

It’s an alien experience.

Don’t know. It was a droplet. My guess is that the centrifugal forces spread it out so much, that it was no longer visible. I could not find where. So I simply told the instructor and left it at that.

I remember the first time I worked with human blood. In hematology class, we learned how to clean up blood. As we were loading up our capilairi tubes into the centrifuge, I noticed a drop of blood had been spilled.

Impressive, I thought. Good thing there’s enough time to clean that up, I thought. I go and grab the sds, alcohol and paper tower from the table closeby. I turn around to see people leaving.

Already spinning.

I learned that day, to never trust anything. Not the equipment, not myself, and especially not other students…

This actually sounds like a smart idea. Foot fetishes are common.

Where is Saddam Hussein in this map?

That’s also technology. Used for good and evil.

Probably anything they can label as “against christian values.” To keep it as vague as possible.

Any tips for learning to control your voice?

South Korea allows women to be fired if they 1) want, or 2) have children.

I’m sure artificially lowering female med student’s grades to increase drop-outs amoung women will help with the financial stability and job security needed to raise a child!

Yup. The bible belt in the netherlands was a great contributor to the study of epidemics. Measles outbreaks are very consistent. Every 10 years an outbreak occurs there.

Except there is scientific evidence that women are held to higher standards. You’re the delusional one here.

What are you talking about?

You didn’t read my comment, did you? I mentioned in my comment, that society holds girls and women to higher standards, and it’s effects on performance. Which is the opposite of pandering.
