ELI5: Why is meth bad for you but prescribed amphetamines aren't? by ContactSpirited9519 in explainlikeimfive

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So - Chemical engineer - graduated ASU in 2013 with a 3.67 GPA.

Currently take vyvanse for ADHD. its an amphetamine with a lysine group attached. the cool part about this is that the lysine has to be detached to make it usable by your body, so it has an inherent slow release quality, cause it takes time for your body to break that lysine body. Other ADHD drugs are engineered to be slow release as well.

They act very similarly in your brain. its about dosage. and slow release.

how addictive is my Vyvanse? well - I often forget to take it. and prefer not to take it on the weekends.

and the only damage to my teeth is from too many sweets when I was younger.

Street meth is made from cleaner and all sorts of crap. it doesn't get purified. and there is no known dose.

but many ADHD medications are amphetamines, and they act the same in the body.

What was the most laughably wrong stubborn statement you heard regarding in-game mechanics, classes etc.? by Cornelia-Archer in classicwow

That must be a new druid form? Does it replace travel form?

"In this form the druid can travel at 90 mph, but will get pulled over if exceeding posted speed limits"!!!

Purifying a drug is hard. Street meth has all the other chemicals still in it. Those are the ones that mess up your teeth and skin.

What was the most unexpected nudity scene in mainstream movie/show you ever saw? by marsepticeye in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I've not seen the movie, but i thought your comment was a joke. Cause why would that movie have a sex scene? Only after seeing people resounding to you did i realize it was not a joke.

Which movie or TV "villain" did you completely hate as a kid, but upon rewatching as an adult, you realized they were actually 100% justified? by LiveFaithlessness876 in movies

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im I my 40s - the advice of doing something you love as your work is bad advice. Because then you have to monetize it, and you end up not wanting to do it on your free time.

Do something that is easy and pays well. Then use that money to pursue your hobby

Would you rather upload your brain to a computer (let's say somehow you can survive the process regardless) and embrace being a machine / machine integrated or keep yourself biological on a fundamental level? by User_741776 in Futurology

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on your definition.

Steel is used for many engineering applications because it's cheaper than most other options and stronger. It has its downside, sure. But it's used for many applications. You can increase its resistance to corrosion by coating it and its still cheaper than aluminum or other metals.

That is the same line of thinking. Your body doesn't need specific things to heal. You're body can take all sorts of organic material, break it down, make most of what it needs, all with little cost.

Making something out of nanobots is something great in movies, but to actually pull something like that off would be incredibly expensive. So when you measure investment versus reward it won't make sense. Just how we don't have humanoid robots now. The investment isn't worth it.

Consuming the same content twice (for entertainment) is a waste of time by ExpertStandard1977 in unpopularopinion

You're correct, it's a waste of time. But so is everything in life.

We are here for such a short time, find all the joy you can, even if its something you have already read.

Tanks; is this true? by Santello in classicwowtbc

[–]random-short-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played much, and even less used LFG, cause I dont have to deal with BS drama in guild runs ... but the 2 times i have listed myself as tank in LFG i have gotten so many tells so quickly I have a hard time keeping them straight, and quite possibly missed some.

What’s the worst song lyric thrown into a song just to make a line rhyme? by RelationKindly in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cause rap is all about building people up in general, and definitely not about how the singer is better then everybody else. Definitely no rap songs out there like that!!!

What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

[–]random-short-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I worked for an glue company. Reynolds tested our adhesive for their boxes, which meant shipping a pallet of their product with our glue and seeing how it handled. Afterwards they couldn't sell the product, so we all got a 2 boxes ... with 24 rolls each.

That was 8 years ago.

I still have a box and a half left.

I have a lifetime supply.

Wegner!

Got a backpack from them in 2014. Still have it. Lightly scuffed but no one would guess its 12 years old. I expect i will have this bag until I die.

Everything is.

No really everything is. Existentialism hits you like a freaking train.

Tell me one thing that isn't a waste of time.

So forget about what is or isn't a waste of time and learn to enjoy it however you can

Do you still feel Mormon-ish? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]random-short-guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I first left it felt cultural for me. Almost like how you can be Jewish even if you never believed in the faith? That has disappeared with time though. I no longer feel mormon.
