vyvanse has an unusual "time release" mechanism. it's inactive until your red blood cells metabolize it into amphetamine and the amino acid lysine, so crushing, snorting, or shooting it is mostly pointless. so the problem was probably the physical pill capsule not dissolving correctly.

In 2021 only 0.23% of workers reported making exactly the federal minimum wage. Another 1.2% reported making less than minimum wage, NOT including tips or commissions. Unsurprisingly, they are mostly tipped service workers.

when my wife finishes querying Claude about something she frequently proceeds to ask Claude questions about himself, e.g. what food he would try or what he would dress up as for Halloween.

Work continues on The Labyrinth. I have pointedly refused to listen to their explanations of it's purpose, but I have gathered that they will walk The Labyrinth to the central gazebo then walk out the way they came.

a few months ago my wife and I took a blind flyer on a movie starring Matt Lucas called Small Apartments. it was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. every character other than Billy Crystal's is mentally disabled, making it a self-aware Idiot Plot.

in 2013 when my wife was dating the homosexual who would become her first husband I bought her a used copy of Infinite Jest for her birthday for $13.97. she read several hundred pages and none of the endnotes before losing it, so she requested a used replacement.

the biggest thing I didn't know when I adopted a bearded dragon was how much I would need to learn about the care and feeding of her food.

I'm working on The Labyrinth this weekend with my wife, so I showed her the plans, explained that the markers on the ground do not match the plans, and she was instantly driven mad.

Trump only went into real estate because the first musical he financed flopped. All he ever wanted was to pop open a diet Coke with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Nope, different one. The OG in this regard is Evony who has been trying to trick people into installing their game for most of my adult life and continues to be behind a huge portion of fake mobile game ads, which is reflected in their reviews.

I setup my godson with SuperHOT VR and lost my shit when I saw he was standing on the edge of the couch and swinging. After playing the level I realized the problem: he was too short to see over an obstacle! This is what he was seeing. I think you need to be 5'+ to play the game as intended.

I left my godson watching a Minecraft streamer then came back and he was watching an ad.
Me: HEY! What are you doing watching ads?
Him: It's not an ad!
He was watching this shit! I briefly explained affiliate marketing and put on BattleBots.
