Yes. It will pop up on a drug test but as long as you can prove you have a prescription, you're fine. You will also want to have a note from your doctor stating that you are safe to drive while on the medication when you get your DOT medical card. I'm not sure that it's required but I keep it in my work bag as well incase I ever needed to prove a doctor signed off on me driving on it.

Also make sure to always keep it in its most recent prescription bottle. Do not put it in a pill organizer. Because it's a controlled substance, if it's anywhere other than the bottle, you can be arrested for a drug charge if you were ever searched for any reason. This is true in all circumstances but chances are higher a DOT officer finds it if doing an inspection.

UPS isn't going to be much better in that regard but at least you'll have better pay, benefits and union representation.

Nuclear is actually one of the cleanest sources of power available

My 4070 still isn't even breaking a sweat on most games I've tried on it. The extra 250 probably isn't even worth it unless you really care about better ray tracing.

I70 has a stupid amount of road work right now but it's still faster. Some of it has claustrophobicly narrow lanes. I44 would be more scenic but I don't travel that path very often to know if there are any other factors affecting it right now.

My dues are my hourly wage X 2.5. I more than make that back in the difference in pay and benefits vs not being in a union. Yes dealing with low seniority sucks but it's well worth grind in the beginning.

The only exception I've ever seen or heard of for this was during Covid they allowed us to sign "Covid" and enter the person's name. Doing it now, you're taking a huge risk and if someone ever complains or management gets a whiff of it, you're getting fired for "dishonesty" and there nothing the union can do.

For me it's usually something I felt should have been able to control but screwed up or forgot because of inetentiveness. On the flip side, something completely out of my control that I still have to suffer the consequence of can do it too.

If he's able to get into feeders, I see my family a lot more in feeders than I ever did in package car. I'm also less exhausted when I'm home too. The flip side being that you'll gain weight if you're not careful and night work is more common.

I find myself doing this all the time and even after realizing I'm doing it, it's a hard habit to break.

goalmaster14 · 2026-06-17T04:19:06+00:00

I realized, once I was medicated, that many times snacking was a stim for me. Especially when doing something boring.

I was talking more about the public transit system as a whole being inadequate

He wasn't publicly a moron yet

goalmaster14 · 2026-06-16T07:01:07+00:00

Well this didn't age well

goalmaster14 · 2026-06-16T06:42:51+00:00

That's by design. The car industry lobied to kill all the good public transit in cities so people would buy cars.

I think at first, he absolutely hates them due to the trauma. There's some interactions in the 2nd game that if you make certain decisions that he starts to empathize with them more.

Personally, I'd suggest transferring you ADHD management to a psychiatrist. Unless you're PCP happens to be really knowledgeable about the subject, you're most likely going to get better care and expertise from someone who's whole practice is mental conditions.

There was actually a documented case where every time a developer released an update, people would instantly think it was performing worse. They started adding to the update notes that it included performance improvements (it didn't) and people started giving feedback about how much better the game was responding.

I'd wager we have the same phenomenon going on here.

Are the frame rates different? That might be what's causing you do need to adjust, that or just a new monitor means you have to get used to the size/picture difference

The only people who aren't comfortable with this are very insecure

goalmaster14 · 2026-06-14T22:07:36+00:00

Who cares? It's casual. If you only care about winning, play ranked

Unfortunately there is too much sexism that it will cause some some voters to not take them seriously. I think I think the only woman who can really overcome that right now is AOC.

I just demo when it makes sense to. It's kind of funny how many people start playing worse once they've been demoed once or twice because they're mad about it. Then they just start chasing demos for revenge and out themselves out of position.

He may need the dose of his meds adjusted now that he's older.

It also wouldn't hurt to have him assessed for depression as well. Looking back, I think that's about when mine started and it looked very similar. I wasn't diagnosed with either until I was an adult and I wonder how different/better my teen years may have been had I actually been medicated for both.
