On the other hand, the rugged eastern Adriatic coast and interior, with its many isolated islands and hills, was apparently a pirate sanctuary since records began so not too surprising.
Still, I would've thought that by Caesar's and Octavian's time the immediate vicinity of Italy would've been firmly under Roman control.
So no, their effect isn't outsized these days.
How do you expect to have strong knees without squats, lunges, etc? It's like saying you're bad at math and expect to magically get better at it, without actually practising math.
Even doing a few sets of squats every day is better then nothing, and for some reason most newbie runners think they can do nothing, with zero sports background, and still run every other day.
The whole point of not using social media is to push you to actually meet people in real life. Form real connections instead of reading single sentence comments.
This guy is too scared to even make a new profile because he would have to send new friend requests to all of his "friends".
Rave people are "brightly colored and fidgety" ?? A polished entrepreneur is incapable of ordering in a low class bar?
Jesus F Christ.
Read a freaking newspaper once in a while.
That some people drive into nature where there is no electricity whatsoever?
Seems pretty strange that I should take your sourceless claims as gospel over theirs.
>Stimulant medication aren't speed, they're like "1/100 speed".
These are literally two identical substances with almost identical effects (the only difference is the ration of amph salts). Difference is dosage.
Can't understand why would you claim what you say, when Adderall is used and abused in the same exact manner as amphetamine paste is in Europe. Anecdotally I hear in USA they throw it at you like candy.
>But comparing them to speed is just wrong and irresponsible,
I stand by what I said, if you saw the numbers of amphetamine addicts on the street in USA the same way you see opoid addicts, you would have a different national perspective on these drugs.
>it makes people afraid of trying what could be effective treatment
Yes, they should be cautions in my opinion.
I personally am not taking any new chances with addiction, even though I'm sure I would have benefits, at least short term.
I'll just hobble along. Using crutches can make physical rehabilitation impossible.
I don't want to get addicted to another thing in my life, here in Europe we're quite familiar with (ab)using speed (amphetamine paste) and the idea of being on speed every single day seems pretty bad.
I don't feel "more like myself" on speed and I seriously doubt most positive effect would persist after a year of using and rising tolerance.
Is that really so shocking to you? You can observe this in any Arab Muslim country today.
I couldn't even be bothered to bring my couple of hundred children's books when I moved from my parents house, let alone 30 000.
yeah, getting "non-mainstream" fitness advice from freaking short form videos is just about the dumbest thing I've heard this month
tell your friend to read a book sometimes, there's a reason why they exist and it's not to sell more ads unlike some other media ...
Utterly unbelievable that Tesla is still selling "Full self driving" cars to customers.
As the other poster said, I bought myself a Native Instuments S2 and couldn't be happier for the price, minimalist but with a great build quality and you get the Traktor Pro 3 software included in the price.
Which it is, which is why on my trip to London in a month I rented over booking and not AirBnB.
Why would I choose a more expensive service with zero additional benefits? Because their app is more cool?
Wikipedia doesn't help starving children in any way.
Same, for the full experience the author should've sold his house and lived on his salary.
Newsflash: Twitter peaked in 2018 with 336m users, significantly less then other social networks.
If there weren't so many news reporters on it, it would be rather obscure to non english speakers.
However, if your currency is NOT the US dollar, then its a catastrophically bad idea.
In short: Truss and Kwarteng are intellectual lightweights whose economic ideas make for funny reading* but in reality are a recipe for disaster. Their line of delusional thinking can be traced directly to Brexit, when the UK lost their collective minds.
