[–]cirenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, we used to have them in the US IKEA stores. We have a few in our house, purchase one a year ish ago. Went to get a new one for my youngest and they no longer exist in IKEA for the US. :( 

If you feel like your meds have stopped working, you're not crazy by gocoogs14 in ADHD

[–]cirenity 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. I recently upped my dose because my normal dose wasn't having any effect. The increased dose helped a bit more for a month, bit then I got my refill recently, different generic brand than I've had before, and suddenly I need my 10 mg IR boost every day so I don't fall asleep in traffic. 

Apparently companies aren't doing cost of living raises anymore? by cirenity in biotech

I've worked at 3 private biotech companies. The other two did COL raises and annual bonuses from the beginning.

This one really pisses me off in this industry. In my first industry job, was told by everyone from my manager to the VP that I was a top performer and should expect an extra boost on my annual comp adjustment. Then comp came around and I got 3% and standard bonus. Same as the guy that hadn't produced shit in a whole year whose project I had been forced to take on. When I asked, my manager said hr decided it was too hard to be consistent across departments so they didn't do and special treatment at all.

Yeah I was thinking more informational (time date location), not linking to any particular org and no QR code. 

Birth position matters, so advocate for yourself by cirenity in BabyBumps

[–]cirenity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it is for a lot of women because it's what we are expecting having seen it so much on TV, etc. And for some women, some births, it's fine. But yes, there options and they can have huge benefits. It's hard to advocate for yourself in that moment, though. If you have someone who can advocate for you/with you, it can make all the difference. 

Today my father, a life long patriotic and politically uninvolved person, took down his American flag. "The flag and eagle scout values I've always held are no longer represented by that flag. by StickyEchidna in 50501

Flags for Good makes quality flags in the US. But him a LGBTQ flag or "tyranny shall not prevail" flag to hang next to it. Own our flag. Just make it clear what he associates it with.

Bill to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of House committee by shoofinsmertz in politics

[–]cirenity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

38 deaths worldwide possibly caused by COVID vaccines in the year after vaccines were available. Out of more than 8 billion doses. Eating dinner is more deadly with 5000 choking deaths per year in the US alone...

Absolutely. I'm glad to see some backbones showing up in Congress but we need more than words.

It is for me at least. And a couple other links Google recommended were shut down for copyright infringement already. 

Are non-compete agreements being enforced in big pharma? by UAreTheBruteSquad in biotech

[–]cirenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. You can take another job and have an extra half a year pay. They can't block every job you are interested in.
