  • Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy amid growing losses and debt

  • Spirit AeroSystems is not related to Spirit Airlines. Spirit AeroSystems is a Boeing contractor that makes fuselages.

  • That's one thing I'm putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I'd hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.

  • Should Election Day Become A Federal Holiday? Weighing The Benefits And Drawbacks

    Jump

  • Mail in voting across the board could be better than a federal holiday. In Washington, I get everything I need to vote in the mail: a ballot, a voter's guide, a postage paid envelope. I literally don't have to wear pants to vote. I can take a week to make a decision about something before I wander over to the nearest mailbox to drop off my ballot.

    Never having done it, voting in person sounds awful.

  • Warren and Dean demand Coke, Pepsi and General Mills stop ‘shrinkflation’

    Jump

  • You're right about raising prices, but it will benefit consumers. If you're making a recipe, you won't have to buy 2 things instead of one and then figure out what you're gonna do with a weird fraction of some ingredient.

    It'll be less wasteful in terms of packaging too. That's better for the environment.

    I never thought to ask this question before. How many of you are equally capable of using your right versus your left hand?

    Jump

  • I'm right handed but I use my left hand to type and navigate my phone. I also have my number pad on the left hand side of the keyboard.

  • And Rankine would be even better than Kelvin in terms of "big number go brrr." Water boils at 671 R.

    Of course, Rankine is the most obnoxious unit I've ever had to deal with, but those numbers sure are big!

  • The only good thing about Fahrenheit is that 69 degrees (20.5 C) is a nice temperature.

  • Strange. I can still see it. Even when not logged in.

  • The only good thing Idaho is for is pumping your own gas after driving through Oregon.

  • Medication lasting 8h, not 3 or 14?

    Jump

  • I've been on 70mg of Vyvanse (Elvanse) for a few years. It's just enough to get me through a 10 hour work day. Everyone's bodies react differently.

    You'll get used to the medication, so a given dose will feel like it's doing less over time. If I don't take my meds for a few days, my pulse will be elevated when I start taking them again. After a few days of that, it's about 10 BPM higher than my non-medicated heart rate. I've found the first day of a new stimulate medication to be not at all representative of what long term use is like. After being on a few stimulant medications for a while, it eventually feels like I'm my normal self, just more focused.

    Do not split the pills over food without talking to a pharmacist first. With stuff like Adderall XR, splitting the capsule can make the meds instant release. I'm not sure if Vyvanse is the same way or not. Either way, don't rely on an idiot on the Internet (me). Ask a professional.

    Personally, I've found Adderall XR to work decently well for 6 to 8 hours. That's not enough for me, but it might be for you. A smaller dose of Elvanse is also a good idea. Personally, I'd go with changing dosage before changing meds. If the smaller dose is still not going well, try a different med. I tend to give myself a couple of weeks on the med before I think about changing it unless I have an extreme reaction. I only did one day of Ritalin because it made me extremely aggressive, for example.

    Good luck.
