When windows has updated and needs to restart it purposefully gets a bit slower/buggy to make people restart the PC.

Shannon Makes fan?

I'm pretty happy with the one in my country. I once mixed up some medication times and they escalated to a doctor that then put me on hold to consult a pharmacist just to be sure. I would have spent 7 hours in ER just for a doctor to tell me that I was fine, and instead I just waited a bit on the phone.

USA, Land of the free ~~to pay~~ 🤷 in my country it's all completely free. Once I had a bad cold they even called me back the next day to check in if I was doing better.

Since you're in the US I imagine my method won't apply to you, but just in case, or for other people reading: in my country there is a phone number you can call in situations like this. They have doctors, nurses and specialists on call, initially you talk with a nurse that asks triage questions once you've explained your problem they give you advice for home treatment, if relevant, or send you to the correct urgency level care, including already sending the information on the triage questions to wherever you are going.

I hit the windows key, type and hit enter to open programs a lot. I literally have no desktop icons showing, I don't like the look and taking my hands off the keyboard to click stuff takes longer anyways.

I also do windows + number to open/switch to pinned programs a lot.

In my head it does not exist. Never trust myself to remember anything, write everything down in a system you trust (TickTick for me). In the same vein when leaving tasks halfway I write myself what I had planned to do next and all the details I can quickly jot down, even if they seem obvious or like I won't forget them.

To add to the splitting thing, it says very specifically in my elvanse panphlet that you shouldn't split it. Even if it didn't I would be very difficult to split such a tiny dose of powder accurately, and getting a consistent dose everyday is important.

I take the same dose as you, and like you I felt it was a bit much on the first few days. Your body takes some time getting used to them, after two weeks 30 didn't feel like too much anymore. It feels just right, it raises my heartbeat a bit 2 hours after I take it, and a bit later it evens out.

We were in slow traffic and a car is trying to leave a parking lot. We give the other car some space to merge in, and they take it, but for the opposite way (passed us and entered going the opposite way we were going). It was a big infraction of the road rules. Right behind the guy was a cop car, I still remember his face, like "did I really just see this right in front of me?". The cop turned on the lights and followed the rule breaker, we were laughing our asses off inside the car. The whole thing felt scripted out of a comedy schetch of something.

A less fun one was during the first lockout of the pandemic, I was standing at the window seeing a cop car slowly going by outside with big loudspeakers: "Stay at home. If you show simptoms of cough of fever call XXX. Stay at home. Mask use in public spaces is mandatory" Felt like the start sequence of a post apocaliptic movie or something.

That is one component of it, but I like mine better because it also can be interpreted as giving a bit more grace to people who are doing their best but their best isn't so good. It also helps me not assuming malicious intent where being an idiot would explain someone else's behavior.

"There are idiots/assholes everywhere", no direct translation for the word I want in English.

I don't mean it in a mean way, just that idiots/assholes can be from any group of people. Two examples:

Don't assume a doctor knows everything just because they're a doctor. Some doctors are idiots/assholes, they might be wrong. Get a second opinion if something they said sound iffy.

When hearing people generalize from one individual's behavior (like racism): this one is an idiot/asshole, they are everywhere, including in this group and all other groups too.

I agree that men also get flack for doing activities associated with women, my answer to the original comment is disagreeing with the double standard part. I think it's bad both ways and therefore not a double standard
