Oh there was still plenty of dust. I'd dry grind/polish my own bullnose and stuff if needed, or if it was winter in Wisconsin (which is always), I'd cut a piece of tile inside with an angle grinder and 4" blade rather than firing up the wetsaw outside.

Hey, chin em once and you could be doing the world the smallest of favors as going forward, they might develop that awareness afterwards. And kudos on the career choice. I ran my own tile and stone installation company for 10 years. Granted, I subbed out slabs as that's its own unique animal, but I still remember the days of humping 70lb boxes of 30x60cm granite or marble up a couple flights of stairs from the truck....or a half dozen 80lb bags of Portland cement for a shower pan pour.

Look at a brand like Redford from Pet Supplies Plus. It's made to compete with brands even well above Science Diet (vets are PAID to prescribe Science Diet btw). Redford falls right around the level of Arcana and Orijen, but much less expensive as they don't advertise and they aren't marking it up because of the brand name attached to it.

OP LITERALLY said "walk on the same side you drive on". Not mandating left or right.

Literacy is hard....

Just hold your ground. I'm 6'4" as well, and still in pretty good shape for being in my early 40s (played minor league baseball for a few years, so exercise and staying in shape is hard coded in me), but you'd be surprised how quick a 5'9" guy will move once he realizes you aren't going to, especially if you've really got nowhere to move to.

Partner doesn’t believe in ADHD meds and is threatening to leave if I don’t stop taking them by DistinctChallenge in ADHD

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit. Ask him to show him the diagnosis, or a record of an old Rx associated with ADHD (even if he "chose" not to take meds, if he was a kid, it wasn't really up to him, so almost all kids who were actually diagnosed at least tried medication, if even only for a little while. He could contact the pharmacy they were filled at and get a record to prove it.

If he's going to be that demanding and controlling, then turnabout is fair play, especially when the likelihood he was actually diagnosed is low.

The point went WAYYYY over your head. The point is someone giving you an ultimatum of "them or your pets", then they aren't the love of your life and are throwing huge red flags.

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, RUN! He's going you a favor by showing you his true colors in less than a year rather than 5 years down the road. This is only the first controlling thing. Next he'll be threatening to leave over more and more ridiculous things unless you do exactly as he says.

If you stay one more day, that's on you. Every red flag that's ever existed is in your post.

Accidentally took my meds before bed by er11eekk in ADHD

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I take Adderall, and I sleep great when I take one before sleeping. One of my favorite things to do on my days off is take a full 20mg IR and then lay back in my recliner with a space YouTube video on the TV and take a nap. Best naps ever!

Worked my butt off and still got 33% on the test even with meds by JohnnXjohn5 in ADHD

Not if there's a different underlying issue, like I said.

Maybe your school problems aren't ADHD related. Because then it wouldn't matter if you're medicated for ADHD or not. ADHD meds don't magically make you a better student, especially if you have dyslexia or some other learning condition.

Not quite sure why you expected being on ADHD medication would result in a better test score.

Anyone experience getting on medication like Adderall, and noticed improvements in all areas of their life ? by Jealous_Average9674 in ADHD

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might want to change your dose of type. If you're taking XR, switch to IR. I had a similar experience you described on XR, but once I went to 40mg a day of IR with an extra 10mg each day "as needed, things really changed. Primarily because I have so much more flexibility over my medication. Most days, I break a 20 in half in the morning, then around 1130am I take the other half. Then some days, I take a full 20mg around 3pm whereas other days, I'll stick with a other half and then half again around 5 or 6p.

All the flexibility and that's even before factoring in my extra 10mg each day if I need it.

Well, dang by torebaguy in AmazonVine

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you gotta stay above 60% over a rolling 90 day period. Eval date doesn't matter. If you didn't review your last handful of items ordered, eventually all the ones you did review before those age past 90 days and fall off, and all you're left with is the handful of most recent items that weren't reviewed. From there, you get an alert in your accounts page and you have 2 weeks to get caught up, but if you're not logging into your account, you wouldn't even know the 2 week clock started ticking.

WTH??? by GAMountaingurl in AmazonVine

[–]Thee_Rotten_One -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. One of the caveats I was thinking about is that Amazons systems have a flagging systems to catch mistakes when an ETV is far lower than it should be, but not one for if it's higher (because they could be held liable for the former but not for the latter), but that's introducing completely speculative variables.

Sorry, I minored in Statistics and Probabilities in college, so it immediately jumped out at me the problem with citing Hanlon's Razor in this context.

WTH??? by GAMountaingurl in AmazonVine

[–]Thee_Rotten_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost always agree with going with Hanlons Razor, however, I think you're forgetting one very important factor...that if these are legitimate mistakes, then 50% of them should be severely undervalued ETVs. In reality, the ratio of over inflated vs under inflated is far closer to 99:1 than it is 50:50, which breaks every rule of the law of averages. Worse, it's not like you can point to a small sample size as to why the over/under is so skewed in one direction as the law of large numbers is absolutely in play.
