An interesting aspect of this is when trying to mover power over long distances AC becomes inefficient and High Voltage DC becomes the more efficient option.
Between 2-3% for HVDC vs 6-7% for AC systems when transmitting over 1000km.

Trip codes are I think what you're taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did
TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?
...
I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa's Law 2010 is where it's use was superceded in federal usage.
I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it's still very much within living memory for some.
At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.
I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can't really keep a word from developing it's own life.
I will note, my opinion doesn't hold any real weight here, as I'm the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of "Mental retardation"
The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.
People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.
Surprised Pikachu face
You see it in other drug using communities; it's really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.
Personally I've found NAC helps, where it didn't before when my meds still add their "magic"
Making their own ADHD meds? (If my understanding of your comment is right)
Cause I mean it's not hard but incredibly illegal, as Adderall is just amphetamine salts in a slightly different ratio than what you'd get by synthesizing it yourself.
It's not exactly closed source
Now, vyvanse would be quite a bit harder to clandestinely produce but not impossible, just as illegal though.
- Is this a quirk of the fediverse?
The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy
2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I'd want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.
If it's a one of hallucination, it's not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent 'hard baked' hallucination.
Yeah, this could be much shorter and not AI written, still I appreciate the idea of exploring technology fundamentals sometimes, just not the way it's been implemented in this case
