No, they don't. Methamphetamine and amphetamines are quite different. Methamphetamine is neurotoxic and crosses the blood brain barrier at twice the rate that amphetamines do. Equating the two is misleading, wrong, and will create stigma

Methamphetamine hydrochloride IS methamphetamine. I don't know how that can be stated more clearly.

Edit: in addition they are very much the same. They cross the b/b barrier at different speeds (add mentioned) and are metabolized at different rates due to the additional methyl group but otherwise their pharmacological actions are very much the same. The differences in effects are almost entirely covered by the 2 potentially mentioned rates differences. To argue otherwise is to ascribe produced sociological effects which we create by now we treat the drugs to their inherent pharmacology which is just plain wrong.


Note that absorption and metabolization rates can affect the safety profile; for example, this is why acetaminophen is generally safe at lower doses, but quickly becomes hepatotoxic at higher doses, because different metabolic pathways come into play:

Methamphetamine is a prescription drug in US, brand name Desoxyn.


Methamphetamine by itself isn't neurotoxic, but the additives it is commonly cut with usually are.


Churchill was one of them


Strain on the eyes and blue light, iirc, suppresses a hormone related to sleep. Been wearing a pair for the past two years after a coworker recommended them after I mentioned my eyes always feel super strained by the end of the day and have trouble sleeping. They really do make a huge difference.

Before, my eyes were super heavy and aching by the end of the day, and now they feel as though only an hour of screen time has passed. Thing is if I take them off while working/looking at any screen without a blue light filter, they start aching within 10 minutes :/


Sorry if it isn't obvious and I come off as clueless for asking, but is this to gauge bureaucracy?


This is a great question. It can show a lot of things, overlay bureaucratic process, control freak, lack of trust/understanding of devs, general disorganization, penny wise pound foolish mentality, not invented here syndrome. Or it can show that the company values devs, trusts them, and wants to retain them.


>After interviewing everyone from a professional juggler to a building surveyor who worked out of a garden shed, Holliss found some common disadvantages and negative impacts: mental health suffered (anxiety, stress, depression), isolation was rife (not being in a team), and it was hard to have self-discipline (proximity of the fridge and biscuit tin; not enough exercise; difficulty in setting boundaries between work and life).

My working from home experience has been the complete opposite. In fact, these tend to be "negative impacts" I've experienced in open-office environments.


This. Just to add, aspergers isn't something that can be turned on or off at will, unlike x-ray vision.


Does it still hold that SSDs are harder to recover data from than HDDs? Or is that out the window?


My wife's stock M.2 SSD died (I forget the vendor, it was some South Korean brand I had never heard of) in her 2 year old Dell XPS 13. There were no warning signs, just one day it wouldn't turn on.

I searched everywhere but couldn't find a service that could recover the data. I'm guessing the microcontroller got bricked somehow. In that situation the only method of recovering data seems to be desoldering the flash chips and resoldering to a board with a working microcontroller (I'd love to be proven wrong here).

At any rate, I replaced it with a Western Digital M.2 SSD and it's been working fine since.

But, that whole episode shattered my notion that SSDs were more reliable than HDDs because of the fact that they have no moving parts.


From my experience SSDs die hard and you will get nothing back from them. I always thought they may go into read only mode but I have never seen that.


Restore form backups. Chances are if you're at the point where you're trying to do data recovery you're already hosed.


Apple had a backup solution that was easy to use.


Yeah Time Machine is great. I'm not sure that was the issue. I think it's that SSD's are more expensive.


You volunteer your time to police HN threads in the name of monopolies who carry out the same shit. Great job!

Lol, nah been logged in for sometime, came across your wonderful comment, and found it funny that the internet white knight stereotype exists at this extreme. In this case, someone willingly narcing on a mega corporation's behalf, for no compensation, over little damage to said mega corporation monetarily/competition-wise, and only to serve what they see as being just and proportional consequences (in reality overblown) to a fellow HN member


Similar experience. It's why I can't stand to listen to Led Zeppelin and absolutely despise showtunes...


Being stuck on the subway several times a week with 1 or more people playing bass dependent music/game audio through their phone speakers... shoot me now.
