  • My brother in ADHD, you need to chill the fuck out. You’re replying to someone who said Adderall makes people who DON’T have ADHD wired. They didn’t say anything about what it does for people with ADHD.

    You aren’t being persecuted here. No one is calling you a speed addict because you take Adderall. But denying that amphetamines existed before Adderall and that amphetamine is included in the broad street name “speed” is silly. Take the L, stop obsessing on this one. Just let it go.

    (Now, if your ADHD behaves like mine, just be glad this conversation didn’t happen in person. Because I’d have it intrusively replaying in my head for the rest of my life in your shoes if it happened in person.)








  • That blows. I’ve heard some people complain similarly here, but the bar seems at least somewhat lower.

    I’m just thrilled I can go to a store with posted hours, rather than calling a guy who says to come to his house and then isn’t there, tells you to wait for him, and two hours later finally shows up to tell you he doesn’t have anything for you.

    (Not that this was my normal experience, but it happened enough to make me despise most dealers.)





  • Boeing was not involved in flight 232, the plane was a DC-10.

    At the time no, but McDonnell-Douglas made the DC-10 and after their merger with Boeing in 1997 has been largely responsible for the downfall of Boeing, by bringing their corporate culture over.

    The engine exploded “in part due to” the engine manufacturer’s failure in quality control, but also the airline’s maintenance department failing to find the fatigue cracks during maintenance checks.

    IIRC the type of fatigue crack wouldn’t have been noticed by the inspection methods of the time during its last check. Inspections were improved as a result of the investigation into United 232.
