A bunch of generic Concerta drugs were removed from the market awhile back and several more sprung up. They’re nowhere near the same and the quality is garbage. I was on one in college while on state insurance. They use some older release mechanism from like the 80s using a pinhole on one side and half of my true generic pills didn’t even have a visible hole. I ended up in the ER because one released all at once at like 7pm, and I thought I was dying due to excessive adrenaline.

I have no clue what out of pocket is these days, but my insurance only charges me $12 for name brand Concerta. I know at one time there was an authorized generic sold by Janssen I believe was their name, but it’s still the same patented pill. That might be what my prescription is filled as.

PSA for anyone who cares: Authorized Generics are the name brand sold cheaper. True Generics are a completely different pill sold as “bio-identical”.

Don’t quote me on this last bit, but I believe bio identical only has to be like 80% similar, which is why so many generics cause so many problems for so many people

Sounds like you’re on Ritalin? You might try name brand Concerta (NO GENERICS!!). It’s just extended release Ritalin in a fancy patented delivery mechanism that all the generics can’t copy. It lasts all day and I just have to remember to take it before noon once per day.

You’re never too old to learn when to use where vs were ;)

Au contraire. I think these fuckers breathe a little too much because I turned to stone lol

This was surprisingly interesting! Thanks for posting it. I didn’t think there was anything noteworthy to glean from it, but @[email protected] mentioned down below that USB doesn’t have interrupts, which I was unaware of. I especially liked how he covered different types of USB keyboards running at different speeds, and he briefly covered n-key rollover, or the lack thereof on the two keyboards he had on hand as well as why some key combinations fail due to shared wiring in the keyboard. The latency discussion between PS/2 interrupting and USB being polled for data at the end of the video was also fascinating.

Edit: Ben Eater did a follow-up video on how n-key rollover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lPzTU-3ONI

No worries! Usually the memes here aren’t so technical. I only got the joke because I was required to take a class on operating systems for my degree, and we covered interrupts.

I don’t know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I’m surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn’t show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

Quality meme op

This would make a great first addition to /c/DisneyVacation

They’ve unfortunately been doing scummy things for a very long time as well. Over a decade ago I banked with them and my account went a few dollars negative. They charged eight dollars a day every day for like a month and a half and refused to reverse it so I just let it go to collections.
