This depends on your genetics - there are different groups of caffeine metabolizers. I'm in the group that's super sensitive to caffeine and I can feel effects from less than 20mg.

The negativity bias is a good point. I wonder if it isn't so much the absolute number of kids who act out (at least initially) so much as it is the change in the way we've handled consequences? My understanding is in a lot of scho

Yes, it does. I was speaking generally. I think if you selected teachers at random from the entire set of K-12 teachers in America, you'd find more who do have to deal with that behavior than don't.

I'm considering doing this. I'm eligible for dual citizenship and am in the process of acquiring my second citizenship. My reasons are two-fold: 1.) I've fallen through the cracks and ended up in a situation the system did no

I believe what Sarah Wynn-Williams wrote in Careless People. I also think she's shown herself to be a person I'd want to stay away from. The reason this matters to me is because the more media attention Ms. Wynn-Williams gets, the

Search. There was some overlap between the webring age and the early search age, but once search became entrenched and useful, webrings faded. Blogrolls survived for a little bit longer, but it was search. Specifically, once search became t

It's fine, ask me anything you'd like! I was diagnosed 10 years ago and had my first (luckily only so far) relapse 11.5 years ago, so I'm very used to this and remember the first years very well. They're scary. I'm

I was on Tysabri for a while and I always felt the infusion time was a bit calming. Forced me to step out of life and relax a little bit.

What I find interesting about comments like this is how revelatory they are of the worldview of the people writing them. It's always interesting to see which facts about the primal human experience are left out when this kind of thing

Around 9-10 hours a night and a 2-3 hour nap if possible. MS is fun.

It's true that white working class people are the most likely to non engage politically for a variety of reasons, but it's also generalizing to say that working class PoC inherently care or adopt the same political ideas as the pr

Those with the capacity and inclination to learn such things (meaning academic theory and systems) who are born into working class communities or families are heavily encouraged to leave the working class behind and cut ties. The working

It's so true. I'm working on a project with a friend that's going to involve back end and I was like 'this is BS where's my immediate dopamine I do front-end for a reason'.

Most news stories are not primary sources. They're secondary at best. The exception would be things like stories from embedded reporters (e.g. Nellie Bly) but those are very uncommon at this point as they cost $ and the ROI is worse th

Try web dev or game mods - when I was her age that was what I did and a lot of the joy was making something that I could immediately 'see' worked or not and interact with + that other people could use and talk to me about.

I'm visually impaired but not blind and I have to use touch to wash dishes. The idea of only using vision is disgusting.

Vets usually have information about cremation services. Some vets offer them on site, but some don't - check with your vet. There are also memorial options (urns, paw prints, etc.) that you might want to look through now as kitty is

I would recommend making arrangements for the body beforehand/having someone else around to take care of the immediate 'aftermath', as morbid as that is to think about. You aren't going to be in any shape to handle any l

It was my first time losing anyone/anything close to me as well. I was acutely distressed for a good month and basically non functional for a week or so, which is embarrassing to admit, but this cat was with me through some really dark

Be there. I have had a cat die unexpectedly (heart failure) and she was in the car on the way to the vet when she died. She held on in the back seat until I was able to pull over and be with her. She was looking for me. You owe it to be the

Vet costs vary wildly across different regions. I just took my cat in for an emergency (little idiot ate plastic and we had to see if she had a block in her when she was continuing to vomit blood) and got her examined, a shot of anti-naus
