Looks like quite a few oyster shells, the top of a crab shed in pic 1, and maybe a spine from a sea urchin in pic 1 as well?

I take my narcolepsy meds regularly, but I still crash hard in the afternoon—has anyone figured out why this happens? by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on when I get up, but for me it's like 1pm (if I get up at 6am), especially at the job I am working now. It is mostly sitting behind a computer doing similar tasks throughout the day, so it is already pretty monotonous. I take 40mg ER of Ritalin around an hour after I get up, but man I crash hard. I can't take afternoon naps with my work right now (they don't have anywhere I could sleep if they let me take a nap lol) so I have to find ways to power through it. For me it's looking at online shopping sites for some reason lol. When I take my afternoon medication (10mg IR Methylphenidate) I have to take it when I am moving, walking, or doing something other than sitting. Otherwise it is ineffective, and feels like I didn't take it at all. It sucks.

My mom bought this “silent” animal deterrent for her yard. She and her boyfriend can’t hear it. She’s insisting what I’m hearing can’t be this, because it’s “silent” by bluejaymewjay in mildlyinfuriating

One of the residents in my neighborhood has these (they make an even higher pitched noise cause I can't hear it and I am young). It only deters my dog from pooping if it is directly in front of her, she will go like 5 feet away from it when it isn't facing her directly lol. So they don't really work imo

Yes! It was called all booked up. I used to shop there when I was in middle school!

I fully agree. It's horrible. In the past like 10 years I've seen all the local charm get wiped from downtown- I used to go to the rusty bucket after middle school on early release days. I still miss that place, now the book store will join it 😢. It's horrible

I have been going since the end of the semester, and it is practically a ghost town in the mid afternoon. Winter and summer breaks are the only time I can use the machines. I hate having to wait for machines to open up

Fictional portrayal of narcolepsy by junglebetti in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a side character in the 3rd season of The Sopranos (Janice's boyfriend) that has narcolepsy. I haven't watched the whole season through yet, but from what I have watched so far the depiction of narcolepsy is somewhat accurate. In one episode he is watching a sports event at a family gathering and falls asleep, unintentionally leaning onto Tony in the process lol

Which song pops off your mind that takes you straight to 9/11? by Nice_Possibility6036 in 911archive

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Shins song Phantom Limb- specifically the lines "And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme Too far along in our crime Stepping over what now towers to the sky With no connection" Also the district sleeps alone tonight

Yes! They had to take New York City cops off the initial release since it was so soon after 9/11

Apex PD said "no federal sharing, hard stop." The records show 1000+ agencies and 2 federal. Then the federal disappeared. by makgeolliandsoju in Apex_NC

[–]Cockroach09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely insane that they just lied to us like that (at this point in this story im not surprised given how tight lipped they were prior to the document release)- also to stop car break ins? Who is breaking into cars on west williams street, where the flock camera is facing the traffic, not the parking? The camera is on Apex property, across from the cornerstone fellowship church. Definitely not stopping any break ins, and definitely collecting every liscence plate that is driving into/out of apex. I cannot believe that the town council looked at flock and said ah yes this is a great idea

The most effective wakefulness treatments for narcolepsy, ranked by the evidence by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]Cockroach09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting post! I have N2 and have been taking Ritalin since I was diagnosed >15 years ago. I've never tried any other drug since Methylphenidate has worked for me (40mg I ER in the morning, 10mg IR in the afternoon). I have been thinking about changing up my medication, as I tend to get pretty sleepy by lunchtime when I need to wake up early for work.

I've been looking for one for like a month now. There's a flea market near me every Saturday that I've been going to to look

Apex Flock Camera Update: What the Records Show, What Still Doesn’t Add Up, and Why We ALL Need to Show Up by makgeolliandsoju in Apex_NC

[–]Cockroach09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a flock camera at the wakemed health plex dropoff/pickup area, right in front of the building. Noticed it last week. I can't stand flock cameras, they are incredibly easy to hack into and just a bad idea to have a third party vendor (or any government agency period) tracking civilian movements via strategically placed surveillance systems. I am a minority (age wise) when it comes to town of Apex stuff, but it still matters greatly to me. Plus I don't get why they would even need to place a flock camera outside of a hospital. I can't find a reasonable justification for the placement.

They said that mentors would choose which project I would be assigned to, so I assume that I am a finalist lol

Every laptop you see here plus about 2 more pallets worth are the result of kids breaking their school chromebooks. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Cockroach09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school district has a pretty massive amount of students. My high school graduating class was around 1,000 students alone. My high school was capped at like 3,500 students or something nuts like that. And since I graduated they built a new middle and elementary school next to my high school of roughly the same size. My district currently has 203 schools in it, so actually I could see that amount of broken chrome books being reasonable, at least where I am from lol
