Trip codes are I think what you're taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did

TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?
...
I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa's Law 2010 is where it's use was superceded in federal usage.
I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it's still very much within living memory for some.
At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.
I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can't really keep a word from developing it's own life.
I will note, my opinion doesn't hold any real weight here, as I'm the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of "Mental retardation"
I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else
From the page for the bug Dpads:
Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they're a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! 🕷🍂
Wow, this is absolutely amazing, do you have a build guide or something to reference if I wanted to build one?
Either AI written, or a bad way of phrasing this update from their kickstarter, which suggests that there's a deadline for any unclaimed physical rewards from the kickstarter for Firmament, suggesting that they've still been shipping them up until now
Though the fact that they called it an upcoming title makes me think AI helped write the article.
The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.
People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.
Surprised Pikachu face
You see it in other drug using communities; it's really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.
Personally I've found NAC helps, where it didn't before when my meds still add their "magic"
Making their own ADHD meds? (If my understanding of your comment is right)
Cause I mean it's not hard but incredibly illegal, as Adderall is just amphetamine salts in a slightly different ratio than what you'd get by synthesizing it yourself.
It's not exactly closed source
Now, vyvanse would be quite a bit harder to clandestinely produce but not impossible, just as illegal though.
How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let's be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.
This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China
If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there's a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they're still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman's perspective
To add to this, it's a hell of a lot easier to cross language barriers with the the alphanumeric product name than it is with the English name, which only works for English and would need accurately translating for every language&product for every region you want to buy/sell in.
It would be an absolute nightmare to try for every product that's sold in multiple regions, etc
This is cool, what other tools/techniques have you used to achieve good beyond the pixelsorting?
I used to really love palladium boots, but most of them are now made in China with the accompanying drop in quality.
I had a decent couple of leather pairs, and have gone through maybe 3 canvas/fabric pairs in the past 12 months.
And ever since they paid a Kardashian to advertise them they've become massively overpriced.
It's a shame as I used to love them

The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy
2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I'd want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.
If it's a one of hallucination, it's not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent 'hard baked' hallucination.
Paella is generally supposed to have a little bit of crispyness to it and is cooked in a large wok like cast iron pan IIRC, might be a helpful starting point
You got any links to explain this in some more detail?
Because this just causes my brain to jam when trying to comprehend...
Like what diameter of black hole are we talking?
And what is the critical mass of the black whole before it starts to cascade and grow?
I'm sure people said similar to the French Resistance regarding the Nazis/Vichy government...
Unironically they're basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you're intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the "Skip Ad" button.
Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.
I'm gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you're experiencing something close to a manic episode.
When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?
Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?
How long have you been feeling like this?
Do you have someone you can communicate the way you're feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?
Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you're probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you're probably not God.
Don't worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it's likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what's going on.
The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I'm feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:
"This too shall pass", it's a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.
Those are good photos for using a phone and binoculars !
Does your partners camera have removable/interchangeable lenses?
If you did buy a cheap DSLR/Mirrorless camera (personally I'd also recommend Canon, but that's because it's what I use), then look into geting a lens mount adaptor for any old film camera lenses you may have, or look for lenses at charity shops/eBay/flea markets.
It's a very cosy effective way to get into the hobby, it takes a little bit of practice for getting used to adjusting the settings/focus etc, but nothing too difficult. And old lenses can give some beautiful effects on the images; Japanese lenses are near identical, old soviet lenses give a beautiful patena.
Another final point to consider is Mirrorless cameras are so much lighter than older DSLRs, to the extent that I carry my camera so much more after buying a Mirrorless than I ever did with a DSLR, OTOH if it's just for setting up somewhere birdwatching, weight shouldn't matter so much.
You can also get lens mount adaptors to fit onto telescope/microscope eye pieces
What is your standard dose?
And out of curiosity are you American?
For some reason Americans seem to be way more adverse to having generic versions of medications, I don't know if it's to do with how the FDA does things, or to do with the amount of medication advertising there, but in the UK no-one typically cares if a medication is generic as long as delivery mechanism and dose are the same.
So I'll almost certainly get a different brand of sertraline each month, and a different brand of dexamphetamine. The only medication which is brand name that I get is Elvanse, but even then that's produced by different manufacturers but branded all the same, just under licence from the patent owner.
Tbh the hypothermia sounds like vasoconstriction and/or possibly low blood sugar.
The vasoconstriction can be caused by the higher dose, especially if you consume caffeine.
I had to quit coffee for 8 months due to the horrible vasoconstriction/chills I'd get with it, after those 8 months I eventually started drinking tea, without getting chills anywhere near as much, now when I do it's an indicator that I need food, especially if my hands have a slight jitter.
In all honestly higher doses of methylphenidate can leave you feeling somewhat depersonalised/disassociated, even changes in dose-timings can cause it, taking more smaller doses can also change the methylphenidate/blood concentration which you may be subconsciously picking up on...
Other things that can throw blood concentrations off: Grapefruit (fruit or juice) Vitamin C Excessive coffee/soft drinks
Check your local council's advice, they will have written rules for what they require; for mine as long as it isn't caked in food they'll take it
