Medication can be tremendously helpful, but it's only a small piece of the puzzle.

I'm not claiming to be an expert in psychopharmacology, or psychology for that matter, but from what I've gathered through various conversations with some healthcare professionals and social workers on the subject, most of the world tends to use behavioral therapy over drug therapy in treating ADD/ADHD when compared with the US.

I'm not saying DONT take the drugs, but make sure they're part of a strategy. It's way to easy to find an answer in a pill bottle, and I don't think it helps in the long run because efficacy drops and then you're back to square one. Build a tool set to handle it, and work with it, not against it.

ADD/ADHD Medication-chat: anyone not happy with adderall, try vyvance if your insurance covers it. It's way less "I am totally medicated right now", and often times I would forget I was on it. It doesn't have the sharp come-up and crash x-hours later feeling either, as it has to be metabolized into its active chemical by the liver, and the liver can only do so much of it at once. The fact that it can't be instantly in your bloodstream is also appealing to providers and insurance as it means it's not going up anyone's nose.

There's an interesting old guy who's lived on my street for years. He's got a beater old E30 and some kind of well-worn old Chevy truck set up for camping trips. When he moved there, he was constantly outside tinkering on that beat up old BMW - it's a piece of poo poo, but you could tell how much he loves it. His garage is the ownage kind that barely has enough room to move because it is filled with tool chests and grinders and manuals. I didn't see him for awhile, and then one day he was back outside in a robe, with an IV stand, hovering over the open hood of the e30. I stopped to say hi and apparently he'd suffered a couple of bad strokes, but was okay and still tinkering. I saw him less and less, but today I was driving home in my E46 and saw his hood up/door open, so I pulled up to say hi again.

Poor old guy was just sitting in the driver's seat looking pale and weak as hell, with a dogeared old manual on his lap. I asked him how the BMW was running; he said he couldn't get it started. I offered a jump, but he has a new battery in it and suspects the starter solenoid. I offered to help him smack it with a rubber mallet, and he laughed and insisted otherwise, despite my repeated offers. We shared a joke about German cars and I told him to come get me if he ever needs a hand with poo poo.

I drove my E46 home and parked it next to my well-worn old Jeep set up for camping trips; the glimpse into the future was not lost on me. Seeing him sitting there all pallid and weak bummed me the gently caress out. Age is a motherfucker, swap axles and do dumb AI stuff before it's too late dudes.

I love this story but it makes me sad :smith:

Oh yeah, the higher offset wheels have a slightly different spoke shape, especially the 17x9 +45. The same wheel in 17x8 +45 actually has way more brake caliper clearance. The +35 or +22 version should be fine though., and I'm pretty sure you can get a template to print/cut out and put on your hub like brake mfgs do. For example look at the rear vs the front on this picture I found:

I've heard both arguments for running 5x120 wheels on 5x4.75 lugs.

"It's less than a mm, it's fine."
"DON'T DO THAT IDIOT! YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF!"

If I eventually pick up some bigger brakes where I have to step up to an 18" wheel, I'll probably shop for 5x120.

Something in your USB devices is preventing it from sleeping.

You can open device manager, look at the properties of your USB devices, and uncheck "Allow to wake" or something along those lines.

If it still does it, consider going to control panel, power options, advanced, sleep timers, and disable them.

I have a Hero2, two 3+ Black editions and the Replay XD1080. You can probably find the replay XD720 new for around that price. I really like my XD1080. There are gobs of mounts, great FOV, low profile, and tough! Audio quality is meh, but so is every other action cam. I imagine if you went cruising local classifieds you could find a hero3+ silver for $200.

Found out that my clutch slave cylinder push rod had a chunk that apparently broke off and fell into the trans on the M3. Going to be a few more labor hours to fish it out and see if anything else is frigged up. :chloe:

Nothing to help in device manager, but in advanced power options there is a "usb selective suspend setting" that can be disabled, should I try that?

[edit] forgot to add that I can put it in sleep mode manually with no issues.

Lexapro really exacerbates histrionic-prone disorder people in my experience, and the chem itself is super over-prescribed, but take that as you will, I've just dealt with two close people prescribed it in the last couple years and ridiculous flare-ups of essentially sociopathic "MY WANTS ARE THE ONLY THINGS IN EXISTENCE" symptoms.

e: Lexapro more than welbutrin/celexa/sertraline/fluoxetine. I've never seen anyone go more Jekkyl/Hyde than Lexapro.
