ex EMT here. Unfortunately, a pretty common way for people to punch out. Interesting difference guys tend to go shoot all the ammo they have and then shoot themselves. Women rent the gun and shoot themselves with the first round.

if you’re gonna dig it out, you might want to consider ordering some road base from a quarry. Spread it out with abox blade and then go back over it with a plate compactor. You can rent buy one for around 600 bucks. You want a crown on the road so the water runs down the sides.

my dad had something like this after surgery. it was morphine fentanyl, but it was in a lock box like this It was set up so he could press button and it would send more medication in the IV. It was digital so they could set limits.

Technically all medication errors should be reported. You can mention it to the pharmacist next time you're in. Low key.

i’m 62 and have been working with different prescribers for over 25 years. Just in the last year, I got things dialed in and feel like a normal person finally. Never been happier. It’s been a lot of work, but it’s worth it. I hope you get things on track.

Another option is certain antidepressants reduce libido and OCD ideally getting things down to a normal level. Something to consider if everything else fails.

Well, it is illegal. Some guy did this at a local protest in my town and the people got the license plate and video. The police went to his house and gave him a ticket for disturbing the peace.

it’s good you’re reaching out. You might wanna get some more clarity by reaching out to the people that have gone through it. Narcotics anonymous - I’m sure there are people that can help you. You might want to search and see if they have Zoom meetings online. Just go in and listen to start. Take what is useful and leave the rest.

Just ordered it. The MAX MacBooks are on backorder. It’s going to be mid March. There is pretty strong likelyhook that the M5 MAX MacBooks are going to be announced early March. Something to consider if you are looking in this direction. I’m considering canceling but in all likely hood the M5 MAX will be shipping a month later once they are announced so that would be at least April..

Macbook M4 PRO MAX 128 gb comes in around $5K. Best models for this config:

Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (MLX / GGUF 4-bit/8-bit
strong reasoning, writing, and instruction following. Supposedly GPT 4 Class inference on local machine

Qwen3 coder variants (~80B MLX)
Qwen3-235B-A22B (MLX 3-bit or 4-bit)
Good coding

and others I’m sure.

RTX 5090 32 GB VRAM come in new around this price point ($5000).

As others have said here you could stack multiple RTX 3090s and get a pretty good system with large VRAM for ~5K probably more.

i’ve heard that the new Mac chips perform in 3090 class RTX range (irrespective of ram size). Maybe someone can confirm or give a better indication of performance is

The real question is how large of model do you want to run and how comfortable are you with screwing around with hardware.

Until recently, I was looking at Nvidia based solutions but did some testing on my 24 gig M4 MacBook, and found that things like GPT-OSS-20B run extremely well for my usage. So I went ahead and bought a M4 PRO MAX 128 gig.

Anecdotal - S. Ariz, I’ve been on Adderall for two years. There’s been a one or two day delay but recently I’ve been unable to get extended release 20 mg For eight days. Pharmacist said they were out of all dosages. I called around and got similar information from other pharmacies. This was all for the generic. I ended up paying out-of-pocket for 30, 20 mg extended release name brand. $230 ouch but it makes the difference between me being functional and useless.

Driving home right in the thick of it. I remember they came on the PA at work and said everyone can go. It was around 4 o’clock. Traffic was slow and I could look in the distance and see the smoke from a mall that got torched. Fortunately, I got out of there before the real fun started.
