<p>I read somewhere that they suspect it was trigged by excessive exposure to UV.<p>Aus has some of the most extreme UV and highest rates of skin cancer globally.<p>I'd also guess that we have pretty high rates of heavily tattooed people particularly in those coastal high UV areas.</p>

<p>Successive Australian government's have done everything they can to trash academia in Australia, all the talent moves onto greener pastures overseas.<p>Our universities are addicted to foreign student $$$ and will become less and less relevant as countries who've taken decisive action like China, India, and parts of Latin America/south Africa start to bloom.<p>We'll likely have a MAGA like government within an election or two, can't imagine that will help.</p>

<p>A short non-exhuastive history of t3ch moral panics:
The Printing Press - 15th Century
The Industrial Revolution - 18th-19th Century
The Telephone - Late 19th Century
Cinema and Early Media - 20th Century
Video Games - Late 20th Century
Social Media - 21st Century<p>Okay, maybe that last one hasnt gone so well..<p>He is kinda right though, music has become a passive feed, if anything I welcome the slopening, if it brings back live, local, experience based music then that's a win.</p>

<p>" the review, only four side-effects out of 66 listed were found to have any association with taking statins, and only in a very small proportion of patients.<p>The four were:<p>liver test changes
minor liver abnormalities
urine changes
tissue swelling/swollen ankles
There was no increase in liver disease such as hepatitis or liver failure, suggesting that the liver blood test changes did not lead to more serious liver problems."</p>

<p>I hear you and do a similar thing but then forget my notebook and so just ego lift till I injure myself, rinse, repeat.<p>I had set up something similar to what you’re talking about using shortcuts on iOS but I find myself coming back to the app “strong”.<p>Ultimately I think a notebook is the best way to do it but I use strong because my phone is terminally in my pocket, and it’s lets you view and export the data in different ways.</p>

<p>Thanks man, that’s an interesting side effect, do you have any suspicions as to what’s drive withdrawal, are you Fillmore of your time with intentional valued activity as touched on? Or are you being less impulsive/blowing off steam?<p>Have there been any productivity changes noticed at work?</p>

<p>Interesting.<p>I had similar issues with XR methylphenidate and Dex, but concerta and vyvanse were find if I took them first thing.<p>I suspect a bit insignificant amount of people are slow metabolisers and are having a shit run with stimulants as a result</p>

<p>The XR mechanism is shit compared how vyvanse and concerts manage theirs.<p>If you’re a slow metaboliser you end up getting a big overlap around 3hours in which can be quite unpleasant, hence the non XR compound</p>
