Why does it matter though? I'd wager few people would use Google to search content on Sci-Hub. The normal usage is simply entering the DOI of the paper you want on Sci-Hub's front page. Note: you can still search for Sci-Hub its

Figuring out what the drug is actually effective for, doing the lab trials, getting the FDA approval, etc is all part of R&D in the pharmaceutical industry. A rather costly part, at that. There's a heckton of it that needs to be do

You know, I'm with you on that one, actually. ADHD behavior is normal human behavior, because we're all human. And indeed, some quite reasonable accommodations and changes in the way the society functions and forms expectations

Interesting if that it works for you that way. "Upping the dose" of Adderall makes me sleepy. In fact, I take a little before going to bed if I'm feeling restless. Midnight coffee is a thing for me. I don't have a proble
