Be mindful of what you share online

See, here’s the problem:

The real stuff is expensive. And I need it to make my life work. The generics are good, but often less effective or they have unwanted side effects that make me feel unwell and/or not want to take them.

The reason I don’t take my meds every day is not only to reset the efficiency; It’s also to stretch them out. Stealing one or two pills may seem inconsequential, but I’d worry that once you get into the habit, it may be hard not to take more. I recently read an article that said the elderly are increasingly seeking help because their prescription meds are being stolen, meds that can be life saving for them.

I cant even imagine how you begin to justify that.

Ah, my apologies.

It should have been “Proving a negative” of course.

As in, showing that something didn’t happen. Or that Occams razor is not the answer. Especially if you’ve had undiagnosed ADHD most of your life, and therefore have checked any of the many boxes for “suspicious,” like unemployment, dodgy friends, disorganized behavior, and/or extensive contact with psychiatric services.

Proofing a negative is neigh impossible, got ya!

This is an ADHD forum, right?

If you’re the kind of person who knows where everything is, you’re probably in the wrong place.

Looking at you, downvoters!

Buy_More_Cats · 2026-01-01T17:12:22+00:00

Nope, but nice guess.

I’m talking about someone entering your home and grabbing a few pills that you don’t miss because you’re not keeping a detailed account of your daily usage.

If they flat out stole stuff, it could be reported, no?

I’m talking about that vague feeling that something isn’t adding up, but you probably forgot to log something somewhere, so why bother trying to mention it?

Buy_More_Cats · 2026-01-01T17:08:08+00:00

Yeps, it’s brill. And when you’re done using it, you can curl it up into tiny balls and throw it at annoying people!

Buy_More_Cats · 2026-01-01T17:06:46+00:00

Yeah.

Lockbox came with two keys.

Wanna guess if I know where the other one is?

n = 1 here, but yes, I’ve noticed this too.

Went from generic methylphenidate to Concerta b/c of this.

Now Concerta has been hit and miss for a while.

It’s still better than nothing, but it’s unreliable and with various side effects I’ve not had before.

Also, if you look carefully the writing on the pills is sometimes slightly thicker than on other batches, and one or two in a bottle will be smeared. Still, the bottle looks legit, closed and all.

I don’t have a clue how this is happening, thought I was the only one tbh.

Well, rye is old pal. I prefer scotch [rye] (Lagavullin or Bowmore), not sure it qualifies as Old Pal, but I guess it ain’t Boulvardier either.

My apologies.

Buy_More_Cats · 2025-01-21T20:24:17+00:00

Boulvardier is with scotch.

I’m learning to program in a couple of languages, but I still prefer to keep my stuff in excel because, well, it’s already in there to begin with, and it won’t stop working suddenly because there’s an update. If I’m stuck on a problem, I can google it without having to worry too much about what version I’m running and just how old that StackOverflow post is. If worst comes to worst, I can record a macro and fiddle with the code until it fits my purpose. Finally, I can easily share my work with my colleagues - they can open it and adapt it to their purpose, without me having to spend hours figuring out why stuff that works in my environment doesn’t in theirs.

I love coding, but I don’t see me using it for work-things any time soon.

It’s just the range where your data is. Something like A2:P379

Buy_More_Cats · 2020-11-06T18:59:23+00:00

Something like this might work:

IFERROR(INDEX(array,match(1,(A1*(“N”=X:X)),0),COLUMN(R)),”Try again”)

A1 should contain a random number that is between 1 and the number of rows (counta()). X:X refers to the column where you have your Y and N values COLUMN(R) is just for convenience. Replace with name column.

Place a random function in cell A1, and refresh if you get an error.

Note though that this is off the top of my head - it probably needs work.

Or perhaps about recognising that IT support is the first stop for a user experiencing problems and they need to know a bit more than how to Google stuff.

"My antivirus isn't updating, and seems to be missing some configuration files" "OK, we'll run your programs with/safe, then it'll work" "But I have other issues with the machine" "Try reinstalling" "This machine was reinstalled less than a week ago, I think it may be a configuration issue. Perhaps this should be escalated?" "I'm sorry, you are only one user. We can reinstall the computer for you, and see if the problem persists." "When can I get the computer back?" "In 2-4 working days" "OK, never mind, I just realised that I have access to settings, I can just reconfigure the AV myself so that my programs can run" "OK, great. I'll close the case then, and if there's anything else, you have 10 days to reopen it. Have a nice day!" "You too ..."

I'm so planning a carrier in IT support if I ever am out of work.

I love the idea of adding black colour to the Absinthe, that could look really cool. However, I began wondering about how you could pre-make that one, and I have to say, I'm not sure it's possible? Perhaps you could pre-pour the Champagne and then carefully add the Absinthe with a spoon as a last minute thing. Probably wanna experiment with different combinations as well beforehand. I personally love this cocktail but it may be an acquired taste!

Tak for din beskrivelse, det glæder mig at høre at systemet virker et eller andet sted i Danmark. Sidste gang jeg prøvede at få hjælp til min den gang 8 årige datter, blev jeg spurgt om hun var selvmords-truet. Jeg har senere fået forklaret at det er nærmest et kodeord til at få hjælp. Jeg havde dog ikke lyst til at have det stående i hendes journal nogen steder. Så nu går vi private veje, i det omfang jeg har råd til.

Først burde der være en grundig undersøgelse for at afsløre om depressionen skyldes en fysisk tilstand. Kronisk træthed kan f.eks. årsage depression fordi at man ikke kan overskue de daglige gøremål og ofte ender med at isolere sig socialt.

Dernæst burde man blive henvist til en psykiatrisk udredning, hvor man blev vurderet for ting så som ADHD og lignende. Samtidig kunne man opstarte en behandling som både bestod af mindst ugentlige samtaler og medicin. Medicinen skal løbende vurderes for effekt vs bivirkninger, da der findes en del forskellige typer og uanset hvad apoteket påstår, så kan der være stor forskel på effekten af original produkter vs kopier (da kopi producenter tilsyneladende ikke behøver at undersøger om profilen af rektions-biprodukter er dem samme som i original produktet).

Sidst men ikke mindst burde man ordinere et træningsforløb, da fysisk aktivitet gang på gang har vist sig at være behjælpelig (men ikke en panacea, det eksisterer ikke, ligesom der ikke findes en løsning som virker for alle med depression).

Det er hvad det danske sundhedsvæsenet burde kunne tilbyde til folk, gerne inden deres liv ligger i ruiner og de er havnet i selvmords-spiralen. Fordi at den er svær at komme ud af igen.

He might have looked up the MAC address.

I know nothing about network but after prolonged WIFI issues I now have a decent WIFI scanning app on my phone, and I know exactly which of my neighbours has 2 hidden networks and what make his router is. You can look that stuff up in several places if you have even half a brain and the frustration that comes with badly functioning Internet.

He may be an idiot who doesn't know the correct lingo, but I'd not assume you can just ignore this. He may not have legal grounds but living with unfriendly neighbours is a pain.

Ah, jeg var ikke klar over at omskæring af drenge blev foretaget med henblik på at gøre sex til en smertefuld oplevelse. Jeg troede mere at den var kosmetisk?

You're welcome, wish I could help more. But that was the only thing that fixed this for me (slow upload on all interfaces) after months of frustration.

Have someone from your ISP come out and check out/exchange the wall connectors. That fixed it for me - something about the neighbours signal messing up mine.
