After being switched to a new manufacturer for my generic adderall XR this last month I have been feeling spaced out, unable to concentrate and fatigued. I also noticed other people having problems online the last few weeks.

And for anyone that wants to say "it's all in your head, generics are the same" this manufacturer had a citation from the FDA this December failing on multiple points of "quality control":

FDA Data Dashboard

The citation's details states the following (summarized because the text boxes are images and not actual text...):

The responsibilities/procedures are not in writing and fully followed

Separate/defined areas to prevent contamination are deficient regarding holding of rejected components, drug product containers and closures before disposition

Buildings used in manufacture and holding of drug products are not well maintained

Equipment used in manufacture, processing, packing or holding of drug products is not appropriate design to facilitate operations for intended use

Equipment and utensils are not cleaned and maintained at appropriate intervals to prevent contamination that would alter the safety, identity, strength quality or purity of drug product

Despite there being no guarantee drug is the proper dosage or even that the drug is pure and uncontaminated the FDA had taken no action or even warned them formally.

I literally do not understand how this drug is being sold right now.

We've had this golden pothos for a couple of years at the back of our room which doesn't get much light and some of the vines reverted to the non-variegated form

Since then I've learned that variegated pothos needs higher light but I also wanted to keep the vines without chopping them up into node cuttings. Would it be possible to cut the long vines from the parent and root/repot them whole? I've tried air layering without stripping the outer layer but no roots formed after several months.

I really want to move the variegated portion to a much brighter area as it has had very little growth here but keep the vines in their current location.

I was tossing so much produce before that I ended up choosing a dedicated container that I toss any veggies that are starting to expire or I know I will be too lazy to use and keep it in our freezer.

Once it fills up I make a big batch of vegetable stock and reduce what I won't use that day to a thick paste with a lot of salt and the vegetable waste goes into the compost. Makes me feel way better about it and is pretty ADHD friendly (toss and forget then process it all at once).

You need a car to get to work. How are you supposed to not buy oil? The point is the fossil fuel industry gave us no real alternative, you don't have to eat at a restaurant to survive but you need a job to.

"The company has already raised more than $1 million to develop the headband and is reportedly working with one of the designers of Elon Musk’s Neuralink device."

Oh good, so there's a chance you might die from it too.

It's a short, the metal would heat up extremely fast and burn.

"But there's an even bigger driving force.

James says restoring a mammoth ecosystem can preserve permafrost, or ground that remains frozen, and slow the release of greenhouse gases."

I'm confused, how exactly would wooly mammoths help preserve permafrost?

"In agreeing to the settlement, the county and sheriff’s department admitted no wrongdoing in connection with the incident."

Awesome, so the taxpayers pay off the settlement and the sheriff's department faces no repercussions.

Even worse, https://unity.com/pricing-updates is posted on their site:

"We leverage our own proprietary data model and will provide estimates of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project – this estimate will cover an invoice for all platforms."

Estimating how many copies you sold based on your own 'data models' which is impossible to track? Isn't that like a giant red flag for laundering money?

I think the point is more that it's something people paid real money for just to have them rip it away with basically no notice and no replacement.

Now that Tears of the Kingdom has added amazing new mechanics like building contraptions and fusing items/weapons would you be disappointed if they didn't include them in future games?

Is this just algae? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by toxic_cloud@lemmy.world to c/aquariums@lemmy.world

I'm about to rescape our shrimp tank (sorry if it's hard to see, ripped up a bunch of crypts and made quite a mess) and for months there's been a mostly self-contained area covered in what looks like really fluffy brown algae.

I let it grow for awhile because it grew very slowly and the shrimp loved to pick around in it, any ideas if it's just a type of algae? It started to spread to another rock recently but otherwise has not spread out of control.

I kind of want to keep a patch of It in the new setup if possible, anyone able to ID it?

Finished adding fish to our 75 gallon planted tank (turned down the lighting for a better photo). I'll post new photos once things start growing in.
