Being the only defender at a breakdown is an awful feeling, everyone's looking to blow you up from a full sprint & you're just there, straddling your downed mate holding tight to their jersey like an asshole. Also refs don't call through the gate enough

lysdexamphetamine (Vyvanse) is an interesting prodrug version of Adderall that often gets joked about by Felix & a low dosage might address both the short half life of Ritalin while not keeping you too wired to sleep.
The strategy for Adderall XR is having slow release encapsulation, plus different amphetamine salts which take varied amounts of time to become active.
Vyvanse instead attaches a lysine amino acid to the amphetamine molecule, rendering it inert until an enzyme in your bloodstream cleaves off the lysine, yielding the active form.
This prodrug strategy eliminates variables that might affect the release rate of the active drug from an XR capsule before it hits your bloodstream, meaning you get a "spikier" release profile instead of a low & slow consistent dose curve. Variables like a lower stomach pH, which promotes quicker degradation of encapsulation material or how fast the various salts dissociate from the active amphetamine molecule. With the lysine prodrug it doesn't matter how much of the prodrug enters your bloodstream, it's release rate is tied to how quickly that enzyme can cleave the lysine off the amphetamine.
With the inherent biases present in any LLM training model, the issue of hallucinations that you've brought up, alongside the cost of running an LLM at scale being prohibitive to anyone besides private-state partnerships, do you think that will allay conspiracists' valid concerns about the centralization of information access, a la the reduction in quality google search results over the past decade and a half?
I'm sure they would, winging seems much more analogus to windsurfing than kiteboarding ever felt (disclaimer you're hearing this take from a person who last windsurfed at a clinic for teens, and only got up on a kite board once in my early 20s).
With winging you've got the flexibility in changing wind conditions by bringing different sized wings & the portability of kite gear, but actions like jibing and tacking with a wing seem more familiar to what you do when windsurfing vs flying a kite. Manipulating the wing & it's angle of attack into the wind feels like you're working a windsurf sail, only it's leading edge is parallel with the water instead of upright & you no longer have a boom flailing about which might concuss you.
Again, I've never gotten up on the hydrofoil & I hear you need exacting foot placement/balance in order to not drive it into the drink. I had a hard enough time transitioning from kneeling to standing whenever I caught a big enough gust to pop up on the wing board. However, the best part was having the option of simply letting go of the wing whenever I needed to depower. That's what makes it feel safer to me than previous windsports
Took me 3 days to just stand on a wingfoil board, let alone getting fast enough to pop up onto the hydroplane. Still not surprised there's dudes somehow jumping them 12m. I still feel so much more in control boofing rapids as opposed to any windsport, but I gotta say wingfoiling feels a lot safer than kitesurfing
Same, but I've still been thinking that I ought to go to an old boys' match one of these years
