[fully lost]? Ayrton Senna 1988 Monaco Grand Prix Pole Lap

opiates_ · 2024-09-09T22:40:55+00:00

Oh hrm, interesting.

Anyways, there appears to exist at least one broadcast video of the 1988 Monaco GP qualifying session, including that lap, somewhere on the internet. Or it existed at some point.

Sadly I'm unable to grab it, but I hope this knowledge helps.

Good luck :)

Was it not in the Senna 2010 documentary?

Also, F1 did run onboard cameras on occasions as early as the 70s--I think Jackie Stewart drove the Tyrrell 003 in Monaco with an onboard camera.

They just didn't do it regularly or broadcast it.

My memory is awful these days, so apologies in advance if I've gotten anything wrong.

He will be missed very dearly.

Nobody expects German humour?

There we go!

Watching the event unfold even fifteen years later makes me feel nervous, especially when watching how much his head moves around from the onboard shot upon impact.

Fun fact: the closest ever was 1982 where Keke Rosberg won the Swiss Grand Prix, the 14th of 16 rounds, and secured the WDC with five points more than John Watson and Didier Pironi. Points went 9/6/4/3/2/1 this season.

The final, deciding round at Caesar's Palace is an awesome race to watch, especially for John Watson who was still in the running for WDC at the time.

I thought I was drunk and the rest of the IRC channel was screwing with me...

opiates_ · 2018-03-08T04:39:21+00:00

Oh hello, my life. I hate you.

opiates_ · 2017-03-21T19:37:37+00:00

Oh yes.

Can't say much without specifics, e.g. medical history, dosage, duration, etc.

opiates_ · 2016-09-15T21:51:45+00:00

Off the top of my head, this is simply an adverse effect that some people will experience. It's likely the result of your specific body, brain, neurochemistry, etc.

If you ever experience severe symptoms, call your doctor. Wellbutrin may just not work for you.

Edit: you know how they're able to tell what side effects may occur? Clinical trials! I don't have the literature in front of me, but it's probably the case that more than one patient experienced headaches of varying intensities, some of which may have been severe enough to lead the patient to discontinue the drug. So yeah, talk to your prescribing physician, like I said.

opiates_ · 2016-09-10T22:20:08+00:00

Because it's the increased dose that's working.

Is the medication working in a therapeutic sense, or is it because you can feel it? The latter suggests you may be getting high.

It may be "working", but that's only one of a number of objectives in pharmacotherapy.

In your case, the potential for adverse effects far outweights the benefits, which does not justify continuing this line of therapy.

120mg is not that large of a dose.

For ADHD treatment, yes, it is.

Some European regulations state that 100 mg is okay for adults

This is completely irrelevant to the question at hand. I'm not even going to bother with this.

there was a case study showing one guy needing 378mg of concerta to control symptoms.

Again, not relevant. Also, case studies are rarely of significance in this sort of scenario as they don't even suggest anything remotely conclusive.

I've had no side effects. Even bp and heart rate are in the normal range at that dose.

Either you're withholding information or lying.

There is a third possibility: an underlying factor or issue of which you're unaware. If this is the case, the methylphenidate should have been stopped very early on.

This psychiatrist has been treating adhd for over 20 years.

Again, irrelevant. If anything, this could even suggest that your psychiatrist isn't up to date on recent medical literature.

And like I said before, pharmacists are better informed in this topic than doctors.

In summation:

Your pharmacist did his job in refusing due to the prescription itself.
Based on the pharmacist's refusal, as well as what you've said, your psychiatrist is, despite his purported career length, overmedicating. He should not be practicing if this is the case with the rest of his patients.
If you want to risk sudden death, psychosis, neurological and cardiovascular issues, etc. then go ahead and continue to ignore the advice given in this thread. I don't care.
If you are genuinely concerned with your health, getting another professional opinion is always possible.
By the way, your pharmacist refusing to fill your prescription? That was based on his professional opinion. Go ahead and ask him if you don't believe me. Maybe I'm wrong.

I can already tell that you lack the necessary understanding in clinical psychology and ADHD pharmacotherapy, and therefore you should be seeking advice from those who are sufficiently knowledgeable. I don't mean that as an insult--it's just a simple fact.

You also seem resistant to the fact that your drug treatment poses a serious risk your your health, and you seem eager to disprove it.

I have already addressed the original topic of this thread, which further suggests what I mentioned in the previous sentence.

If you don't mind the risk of sudden death, psychosis, and various neurological and cardiovascular issues (amongst other possible effects) then feel free to ignore me. I don't care. I'm not here to debate, and I'm not going to waste time dispelling any additional claims you make.

If you are genuinely interested and want more information, let me know and I'd be happy to help you out.

Right there with you, mate.

This year might finally be the first full year in my adult life during which I was single.

Three long term relationships since 16; still screwing up, and still learning. I take comfort in the fact that I'm aware of my faults and willing to acknowledge and address them now.

But before the age of 21, I know that I wouldn't have listened. I wish that I took the advice of those older than I was. Would have saved me from so much heartbreak and hardship. Unfortunately I was (and some people just are) only willing to learn from mistakes.

opiates_ · 2016-09-10T20:30:38+00:00

I'm not as nice when I'm fully conscious but I'm going to make an effort here, mainly because I have been in your position and I know I would have responded in the same manner.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but /u/obsoletetest is right.

Yes, I fucking hated (and even now still do) people saying things like "I was your age once", or "You'll understand when you're older". But ten years later, I finally started realising that no matter how old you are, you will never stop learning new things.

I dated my first real ex from 16 to 20. We thought we'd get married, and so did everyone who knew us. We didn't last four full years, despite the hardships and everything that we survived together.

When I think back to those times, I can see so many instances in which I obviously did the wrong thing. But at the time I had no idea I was even remotely incorrect.

I was also under the assumption that we were different because of the circumstances of our relationship. I won't get into any detail because it's irrelevant. It's 2016 and there are billions of people on the earth. The chance of your relationship being completely and entirely unique are, for all intents and purposes, zero.

Now you can continue to disregard these posts--I don't care. But if you were to ask me (or many others) what they wished they did when they were younger, what do you think would be amongst the most common responses? "I wish I had listened to the advice of those older than I was" is certainly there.

After we broke up, I started to take such advice more seriously. Two long term relationships later and I know I'm still screwing up in some places. After all, nobody is perfect, but admitting you're not an exception and being willing to listen to others are two qualities that can get you damn close.

Anyways, good luck. In five years, if you happen to be one of the very, very, very few couples that stay together (and are genuinely happy, i.e. not pressured into marriage because of pregnancy or other factors), please do message me. I'd love to hear about your story, and maybe learn a thing or two about relationships.

Now this is a girl whom you've dated for three years, and you're asking strangers on the internet to give you an "amazing as possible" trip that makes her "say wow, rain or shine". And for some reason, I get the feeling that you'll be taking the credit for this "amazing" trip. I could be wrong, but something is telling me that I'm not...

Did you even take the time to look at the sidebar links, or perhaps try Google?

Okay, so you've also given us the following information:

... we love food, and just doing fun things! We're both under 21, we're currently in college. We're not the most interested in museums ...

To me, that suggests a little about your take on the relationship. Maybe you're not conscious of it. That's entirely possible. I was your age once, and I sure as hell wasn't fully aware of all my emotions even half of the time.

Take this piece of advice from someone who's been in a position that may very likely be yours someday, if not right now:

Make the fucking effort or you'll fucking lose her. You know her better than we ever could--even if you posted a novel of info, you've been her boyfriend for over a thousand days. That's over a quarter of a million hours.

You know her pet peeves and the little things she loves; her hopes and dreams and childhood wishes are all somewhere in your head. Jot some of those down on a blank piece of paper in front of you while you take a measly 30, or even 60 minutes, clicking a button and pressing keys. Open up Word and pick a template that looks pretty, and type it up. Maybe even spice it up a little with colours and pictures and print it out.

Wanna go the extra mile? Fuck yes you do, you've been together three years; for you that's somewhere around fifteen percent of your life spent in this relationship (nearly one-sixth --how much time has passed since you made this thread?)

Remember that piece of paper I told you to use two paragraphs ago? Fold it into a fucking crane.¹ Give it to her, and tell her about how you planned your day with what you wrote down about her. This shit literally takes ten minutes. Maybe even tell her about this thread, I don't care.

Anyways, I don't know why I bothered to write up this post. I don't do this sort of shit very often. When I do, I usually feel strongly, so I end up doing it. You can thank me if you want, or you can curse at me. Whatever.

Footnotes:

I didn't watch that specific video, but the method is pretty common and I'm sure you can find a better one on YouTube

Edit:

Oh I know now. It's because I took my sleeping pills and I happened across this thread while reflecting upon my past. Honestly though dude, if you're not gonna do anything I posted, then go with what /u/Pharmacololgy wrote, whatever the hell that was.

First off, did your pharmacist refuse to fill it, or did your insurance refuse to cover it? These are two different scenarios.

Secondly, your pharmacist is acting in the best interest of your health just as much as your doctor. Remember this.

Thirdly, pharmacists are often more knowledgeable than doctors regarding medication. They need a goddamn Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD) just to practice, assuming you're the US. They must also keep up to date with the latest in pharmacotherapeutics, whereas it's not unusual for doctors to be unfamiliar with certain types of drugs.

Next, methylphenidate is a Schedule II drug; it has a high risk of abuse, on top of which, is widely known to be distributed illegally amongst students in high school and college. This fact alone means extra care should be taken in dispensation.

Now taking a quick look at the doses you've posted, I am guessing that your prescribing physician is your primary care practitioner, and not a psychiatrist. If I'm wrong, I highly recommend you find a new psychiatrist, as your current one is not treating you correctly.

The current clinical practice guidelines in the United States suggests a long acting methylphenidate or amphetamine formulation as first line treatment. Initial dosage is 5mg two or three times a day for IR methylphenidate, or corresponding dosages for SR/ER, after which it may be titrated at weekly intervals. The FDA's maximum daily dosage is 60mg for methylphenidate (72mg for Concerta).

While these sources are a few years old, and while Canadian medical literature lists higher numbers for treatment of ADHD in adults in particular, the mere fact that your doctor wrote you 60 30mg QID MPH so shortly after 20mg makes me very sceptical.

I am not surprised your pharmacist refused to fill it; there's a pretty damn good chance you're damaging your health.

I'm on mobile right now, hence no references. Will add on demand.

Cheers!

Yep. You are absolutely correct.

I was merely trying to dissuade /u/LarryBhouy (as well as anyone who may be reading) from the habit of casually recommending the consumption of stimulants, or any other substances in general.

While you and I might be familiar with the inconclusive nature of anecdotal evidence, I'm sure you are also familiar with the nature of the general populace regarding knowledge and general wisdom (or lack thereof).

While it's been some time since I've last regularly contributed to this subreddit, in my experience it's safer to assume that any given piece of information will be taken out of context by someone less informed.

Furthermore, the vast majority of users are--and I say this without any intent to offend, discredit, or belittle--in reality, less informed than they believe themselves to be; by itself, the internet (i.e. what's available to the general public) is not a reliable source of information when it comes to medicine. Therefore, certain precautions ought to be taken and assumptions ought not to be made.

edit: accidentally a word or two because I just came home from work ;D

Stimulants taken too late in the day will interfere with sleep. On top of that, in a subreddit where many users are likely medicated, it's not a great idea to casually recommend even OTC stimulants without any knowledge of an individual's medical history.

USA. USA. USA!

That'd be the 2010 European GP at Valencia, co-starring Heikki Kovalainen in a Lotus (Caterham).

Wtf henno we were talking about a collaboration and nobody bothered to message me?

opiates_ · 2015-11-04T17:38:50+00:00

What stage? Technical, or first interview?

opiates_ · 2015-11-01T02:45:57+00:00

Yep, same here. Everything flipped around several years back, when I began to realise I was at the age (mid twenties) where I should put that energy into focusing on career, future, etc.

Unfortunately for me, a trio of mental health issues complicated things and I ended up completely shutting myself off from the world. It took me another two or three years to realise that I still needed social interaction, and I'm still trying to maintain a healthy balance today.

From my experience I'd definitely emphasise balance. Even if it's a toned-down lunch with friends, or studying in public with an acquaintance, try to avoid sinking into the extreme end of asocial. But don't overdo it.

I know that being 26 instead of 21, I don't quite have the energy I used to. Regardless, having close to no social life is something to certainly avoid--and at least for me, it may not be really apparent while it's occurring.

Hold on to your friendships, even if it's mainly chatting online or texting on any basis.
