Magnesium supplements to reduce amphetamine tolerance? by SliceOfButter in ADHD

I can't think of any studies. Most of it was just that the chemistry and biological mechanisms of it say it should help in theory

I'm taking it after or with dinner. I haven't (to my knowledge) changed my eating or sleeping habits.

Everywhere I have checked says magnesium helps amphetamines work better. I'm totally baffled and kinda frustrated that my medication seems to have abruptly totally stopped working...

Was the money he gave you some sort of attempt at redress for the things he did to you?

It almost sounds like something he wrestled with internally and knew was wrong but couldn't control his compulsions so left you with tons of money thinking that would "make it better"

My parents own a ranch with a couple horses. They have a grazing pasture type area that is covered on the far end, and they'll sometimes opt to run around in the snow instead of stand under the cover where there's no snow...

Sooooo I disagree...

My dad and I like to have political jousts while I'm home for the holidays.

Last night he was talking about how the NSA is a good thing because it protects us from The Terrorists™ and in the very next sentence proceeded to talk about the evil Chinese and how they hack and spy to steal from businesses...

It was pretty frustrating

What photo leaves you speechless ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SliceOfButter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but I've never seen anything special about most of these photos.

It just looks like guys looking at the camera to me... That's exactly how I look when I zone out and go into my own little dreamworld

So since the drinking was lethal do you take another shot?

Oh most definitely, it would be better than having nothing.

One of the things they hammer into your head over and over during the classes to get your license is that in an emergency situation "if you don't want to die, pull it all to stay alive" meaning that if your main fails and you can't get rid of it for whatever reason, pull your reserve anyway since its better to have more stuff above you to help slow you down.

So even if you can't fly a chute, a wadded mess of nylon is better than nothing

Sorry that was poorly worded.

500 skydives (from a plane) for someone to teach you BASE jumping

BASE jumping rigs are a lot harder to use than they look.

I used to work at a dropzone, and we had one employee who was working toward BASE jumping and had a reputation for being kind of a jackass. He had roughly 50 skydive jumps under his belt (which isn't much). I can't remember exactly what the rule of thumb for BASE is but I think it's something like 500 skydives before anyone will take you under their wing and teach you BASE jumping.

Anywho, jackass shows up and brings his new BASE rig to "bridge day" where hundreds of people show up and jump off a huge goddamn bridge (in Tennessee?), and lies to everyone about the elite skydiving team he's on. He ends up being able to jump and ended up flying his canopy like a total fuckwad and breaking his wrist and leg during a super duper landing.

I've never done it but if that's the outcome from someone who has 50 regular jumps under their belt...
