> and happen to see my wife drive by, 40 feet away, through a concrete wall and some glass.

Is she okay?

Health care providers can order genetic testing to help discover how your body metabolizes tons of things.

I recently had it done and it illuminated an entire class of anti-depressant that has very little efficacy for me.

To be fair, on the US site it's an "Early Access" feature that is in no way the default.

On airbnb.com.au, the full cost is the default view, and you can change the pricing to USD very easily in the bottom floating footer.

Also anecdotal, but everyone metabolizes these classes of drugs differently. I'm an "ultra-rapid metabolizer" of a slew of SSRIs, so they're next to worthless for me compared to other medications.

You do not need the full HomePod to do multi-room audio. I have three HomePod Minis, one 1st gen HomePod, two AppleTVs, and an old Airport Express that I can use in any combination for whole home audio in sync. It works extremely well.

I'm recently diagnosed with ADHD-like symptoms and started on a low dose of Focalin about a month ago.

I can say for short-term focus and motivation it's been life-changing.

I would frequently flip-flop between getting sucked into rabbit-holes and having too many things going on at once. I now find that I can focus on tasks much better throughout the work day. My quality of work has improved as I've been able to better focus my time on what matter.

My doc has warned that over time I likely will need dosage increases, but for now it's been a wonderful experience with very few side effects (headaches the first day or two).

You will get out of your career what you put into it. I had kids at 24/26 and have found success relative to my peers in the field.

Sure there are sacrifices to be made with respect to career options. You can't (or shouldn't) just move cities every three years when a new job comes up, but working remotely can level that playing field quite a bit.

I found a "Backwoods Surgery and Medicine" book from 1910 at my grandparent's house. Half of the pain-related guidance involved cocaine in some form.

this is just a reality of the economic policy we’ve chosen to pursue here.

Now who is "we" in this scenario?

The last few weeks have been really bad. I get 3-4 obvious spam emails a week now where I would maybe get 1 every 6 months prior.

> What method do americans tend to use to check that their politicians are voting in their interest?

Sadly it's usually directly correlated with how much money you give them.

Is it more irresponsible for an 18 year-old to take on six figures of debt or for the lending institution to so easily give it out?

This how my team functions. It's such a refreshing work experience. Estimating work is hard, we shouldn't be punished or feel bad when we're off a bit.
