Of some formulations, yes, there is a shortage going on like a year now. Nothing in the article indicates that it is why this dude isn't having his prescription made available to him.

"[...] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."

So he's not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.

I don't really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.

Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.

It would be very dull. Lots of spreadsheets and bulleted agendas.

Just a big family that lives all over the country, sometimes world. We all want to stay close and this is what works for us. We maintain very low levels of shit and would like to keep it that way.

Yep, the kitchen "junk drawer", filled with a few hand tools, rubber bands and zip ties, batteries, graphite lubricant, matches and lighters, screws and buttons, other miscellaneous bits and bobs.

One brother doesn't share or give up decision making well. The roles are intended to be project manager rather than dictator; the person is still expected to solicit opinions and delegate tasks to others. He gets frustrated really quickly when he doesn't get his way entirely and will get to a point where he doesn't hear other people's perfectly reasonable views.

But it's been this way forever, it's his personality. He knows it. A few of us are pretty good at calling attention to his behavior in a way that he doesn't feel attacked by and he'll chill out. One just goes toe to toe more aggressively with him and that tactic works sometimes too.

My family has rules and positions we vote on. We're all adults out of the parents' house. We collaborate on a lot of projects and travel together in different combinations; the rules, or guidelines really, make us more efficient.

I am often travel coordinator for joint trips. Someone else handles food coordination specifically. The youngest calls meetings, usually on a quarterly to yearly cadence, and publishes the meeting notes to a shared cloud drive. Another is in charge of coordinating a Christmas gift exchange. We've rotated being financial and medical backup/adviser to the parents and those roles also comes with responsibility to update the other siblings on major changes.

Uh, does the Democratic party have any incentive to form a coalition with them? Just continue abstaining and let the Republicans continue to implode from a situation of their own making.

I prefer TWS. My last neckband pair were always getting caught on my clothing and long hair.

Well, some HR person I've never met just chatted me "we need to talk, I'm calling your phone" with no context. We had layoffs three weeks ago. My heart rate went through the roof. She just wanted to remind me it's enrollment time and to pick my insurance and other benefits for next year.

I'm thinking about slashing her car tires and taking a dump on her front porch as a "prank" in return.

1. If it's available digitally from one of the many libraries I belong to, that's easier. I prefer it to Audible even.

2. If not available by library, I can't recall the last time I wasn't able to find it through some alternative means.

Insert Pirates of the Caribbean meme about being, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever seen.

It means his segment was more nuanced than I expected. It's not "homeschooled = religious weirdos with no social skills".

It's rare to run into people who know what HSLDA is, and have an understanding of how different laws in each state create different environments for homeschooling.
