How are electricity rates set in the UK? Some countries have companies that offer an off peak rate which can be zero during specific hours of the day.

Lisdexafetamine is somewhat unique because the slow release mechanism is more or less inherent to the actual drug itself. That is, the fact that lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug that needs to be processed into dextroamphetamine (the actual stimulant) is the slow release mechanism itself.

Methylphenidate is different because the chemical itself is the stimulant, so pharmaceutical companies need to come up with ways to physically release it slowly, e.g. via mini capsules that dissolve slowly.

Unfortunately every brand and formulation kind of does their own thing in order to differentiate themselves from generics.

IIRC Concerta was the most “advanced” in the sense that they formulated a special double release system where each dose also dissolved slowly. Ritalin LA is much jankier because it basically just released a second or third dose all once later on.

You can search “name of drug” + pharmacokinetics to get more graphs, which in combination with keeping a mood diary can help in nailing down hat works for you.

I am actually so thankful for the AI voices.

I used to feel guilty for dismissing videos with thick accents because I couldn’t tell if it was the content was trash or I just couldn’t understand the accent.

Now with AI voices I can confirm that the content was indeed just trash.

Most things are logarithmically scaled, including our perceptions.

Having 1 -> 5 apples is a large and easily comprehensible change, but most people probably rapidly lose interest having beyond more than 5 apple.

Similarly the first few birthdays you experience are much more exciting, with the importance rapidly diminishing as you hit milestones. A lot of people start forgetting how old they are in their 20s; the ones that do are mostly due to dating apps.

Archaeologists believed that the women hairstyles depicted in ancient Roman statues were far too complicated, and therefore had to be elaborate wigs.

Janet Stephens, a hairdresser, took one look at the back of a bust, and immediately saw the underlying logic of the styles and how they could be achieved with a needle and thread.

When she got home, she found that archaeologists had consistently mistranslated the Latin phrase for “acus” which can mean needle and thread or single prone hairpin as only single prong hairpin. She goes on to film herself recreating all sorts elaborate hairstyles in Roman busts, and changed archeological viewpoint from then on.
