How do you keep focused?
Strattera (Atomoxetine) isn't much better than adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine). While the latter is a dopamine/norepinephrine agonist, triggering the release of a.) the neurotransmitter responsible for the brain's natural 'reward system', and b.) the neutotransmitter responsible for mediating the parasympathetic nervous system and parts of the brain related to 'attention', the former is simply a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor: it creates a positive norepinephrine concentration in synapses by plugging some of the drain holes it's supposed to run out. In simpler terms: Adderall causes production of attention-related hormones, while Strattera causes your brain to make "more efficient" use of the ones it already has in play. Both are dangerous. The only real difference I suspect is that strattera is a bit less liable to be abused, but seems to have equal or higher incidences of toxicity compared to plain ol' speed.

How do you keep focused?
unless your doctor says you need it, you should probably stay away from it. adderall is just a prescription grade pure amphetamine (actually racemic amphetamines - two salts of each of amphetamine and its stereoisomer, dextroamphetamine), which is speed, which is highly psychologically addictive, not to mention its tendency to cause a fairly quick tolerance buildup. for most of you guys reading, discipline, planning, and knowing your limits will take you very far--you don't need drugs to focus (not even caffeine).

ugh...caffeine never helped me get anything done except party. it's a total body rush when i take it/drink it/whatever, my brain will shut down per its original schedule but i'll stay 'awake'.

Adderall! :-P just kidding... usually just get it done, and avoid overworking myself since that always always leads to loss of productivity in the long run.

Who else should get Hybrid?
I'm not entirely certain there are any profitable hybrids on the market yet. It would probably bring in more traffic to the dealerships but hybrid tech is 'spensive!

Where are the other countries now?
still nuts. judging people for not providing charity goes against the nature of charitability. if you want to call people out for not donating their money then it should probably be a tax or you should probably re-evaluate why you think what you think.

you guys are nuts... you can't demand charity or even expect it. every nation is less well off than we are anyway.

Lessons in punctuation
wait, 160 words per minute? that's nuts! how do you do it, and how often do you actually type that quickly? i type around 120-140 words per minute but most of the time i keep it at 90-100 just because, damn, that's too fast. (i'm also shocked because i've never heard of a computer that couldn't deal with input at that rate, your computer must be weird.) (this post was punctuated properly.)

Chevrolet. All the brands out now are too established to get rid of, might as well be bold if you're gonna be stupid.
