Concerta is an extended release tablet and modifying it is not likely to work that well. I think that they call that out in the patient monogram noting you might see the tablet in your stool.

Maybe you can cut them in half. Grinding it is a no-no. Best bet is get the correct script.

Is this why diplomacy in the Balkan region is a long history?

I’m gonna spend 2-4 hrs waiting for it to be time to get ready, and then when it is time, I will be doomscrolling and realize I’ve only left myself 10 min to get ready when it takes 15.

Also, once I really had my stuff together and got ready in 15 minutes so that’s my time, even though I repeatedly prove that it takes 20. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

I swear it didn’t say that but it’s equally likely I’m not paying attention.

You’re in the USA, if it’s $1000 a night.

Roads are subsidized. But the railways must pay for themselves!

That’s a lot of flying in 10 days. Vancouver is great but there’s one NHL team in driving range. Ontario/Quebec have 3.

Skip the NHL or book one game. Check out PWHL or even university/college games. They’re orders of magnitude cheaper and I think the play is more engaging. Games are better closer to the end of the season and the fans are more involved as the stakes go up. University/college hockey is pretty much over by now.

Pro games don’t get cancelled unless the stadium is destroyed. Your flights and travel plans on the other hand…

Trains stopping on roads is a locally significant problem in the USA. They do just park for hours while cars are shunted around.

One major part of the problem is that the state and city governments have no power, and the federal government gave them permission, and (obviously) doesn’t care about the freight rail network at all, never mind passenger rail.

Mine is on the internet behind nginx. I block connections not originating in countries that are reasonable for my family. I don’t like geoip blocking but it straight up eliminated almost all the IDS alerts. I needed to migrate to DNS based validation for certbot.

If I or my family leave the geo region, I’m “away” anyways until I return to the area and my device gets a new IP. Or I can allow the country temporarily.

With the price of oil and therefore plane tickets what it is, I won’t be leaving my geo region.

Heating.

But resistive electrical heating is slightly more efficient. Heat pumps are considerably more efficient.

So - buying drugs.

Look for zigbee, thread, and/or matter.

+1 on smart switches/dumb bulbs for hardwired fixtures. There are exceptions, but not many.

EV? Why not ICE too?

Vehicles are more connected than 10 years ago.

They’re unfortunately difficult to hack in the traditional meaning of “modification”. Software gated features are protected by cryptography and server communications, rather than a bit flip and checksum.

“Why are Finnish people happier than Americans? Must be sauna.”

The gdp per capita of the USA (US$84,534.0) is a lot higher than Finland (US$53,149.8) source: world bank. Finland chooses to prioritize the good of society. USA prioritizes the good of the individual (billionaire).

In the USA there’s that traditional puritanical work ethic means that illness, mental health, addiction, and unemployment are signs of laziness so the homeless shouldn’t be helped.

ARM is absolutely serving Intel’s head on a platter these days and it’s slowly happening - Server 2025 is availableish in ARM, and the Copilot PCs are ARM. There’s value but MS would rather customers go to PaaS than rebuild eg MSSQL on ARM, I think.

The legacy systems need to upgrade because they need security patches. It’s not an incompatible system from 1992. Windows broke stuff going to Vista, when real-time controllers like you’d find running a power plant or CNC changed in ways I don’t remember, but fundamentally you could run a 35 year old application on windows 11 with tweaks over the years. These companies are running apps written in the 70s and 80s.

Microsoft could and perhaps should bifurcate Windows into new and old, or draw a line along Server and Workstation, but I think the bulk of their windows income comes from these enterprises and the “new” windows wouldn’t sell that well - it’s effectively been free for consumers since 8. Windows was the absolute show runner for decades but since the Cloud, it’s shrank quite a lot so there isn’t the money there anymore.

ARM is an interesting experiment they’ve been working on from a couple angles over the years but never really got the buy in.

Enterprise customers depend on legacy stuff that you haven’t heard of. And there’s enough of these 800-pound gorillas in the room that pay for enough of Microsoft’s bills that they have to listen to, that they can’t cut it. A behaviour bug from 2002 is actually used by, say, JP Morgan’s trading department as a critical part of their flow. Until you’ve worked on IT in one of those megacorps, it’s hard to fathom how much spaghetti and dominoes can be in one company.

Also, the legacy stuff is literally decades of work and knowledge so unscrambling it is not really feasible.

They can’t nuke it because of the customers that rely on it. Microsoft’s job (and that of all vendors) is to cost less than a migration to another option.

At the local level there are many people in many cities trying to make things better.

Vyvanse (washed down with my morning coffee) around 8 hrs in I have a complete drop in energy and then about 2-3 hrs later I get a second wind.

It’s a challenge because I’m a couch potato for dinner time and then get things done when it’s time to wind down.

I’ve watched the pros. The foreman’s job is basically running to the supply house before the team need the thing, so they can keep working. They try to show up with everything and to varying degrees they do but every job is slightly different.
