I find myself wondering which cinematic feature you intend to experience this evening. Will it be something truly exceptional, perhaps something underwhelming, or something altogether sinister? 😁
I am seeking a female companion for meaningful conversation, regular correspondence, and potentially developing a more significant relationship over time.
I would particularly prefer connecting with someone residing in Memphis or the surrounding areas. I am a 38-year-old male. ☕

Open-back models offer superior sound fidelity and spatial imaging, along with better breathability and comfort; however, they allow sound to leak both in and out. These are generally favored by audiophiles in controlled environments where external noise isn't an issue.
Closed-back models tend to have slightly less nuanced sound quality, but they provide more pronounced bass, run warmer on the ears, and effectively isolate the listener from ambient noise. They are the preferred choice for studio work, commuting, or any situation requiring isolation.
An example of open-back: https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/high-qu...urround-hd-650

Therefore, simply ensure the product descriptions specify that they are closed-back, and you should be perfectly fine. There is an abundance of options available, and within the consumer category, most models are closed-back anyway.
Your examples regarding headphone types are entirely accurate. I personally purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD 201 approximately six years ago when they were on sale for about $133, and even now, they function flawlessly. While the cable insulation has begun to degrade due to constant tangling—which is quite common—they still operate without any of the crackling sounds typically associated with failing cables. It is truly impressive. In fact, I actually recognized my own headset being used on NPR (and this isn't an advertisement; after all, why would anyone pay taxes for public broadcasting? It's nonsense), specifically during Champions League broadcasts or player interviews in the studio. I was pleasantly surprised to see them using the exact same model, though simultaneously shocked 🤦 at how much outdated equipment they continue to utilize... geeez!🙂
As for myself, it is certainly time to invest in a new pair, given that we are already in the year 2020. I intend to stick with Sennheiser, likely opting for the HD 4 or perhaps the HD 5 series...👍

Are you actually serious right now? Or are you simply pulling my leg?😛
It seems absolutely inconceivable to me that an American physician would ever issue such a prescription to a patient.
I find myself wondering about the circumstances that led to this prescription. What was the primary motivation behind it? Was it necessitated by acute post-operative pain, or perhaps some other underlying medical requirement?
I recall reading on an American pharmaceutical site that Oxy—meaning OxyContin—is incredibly potent; apparently, a single 10mg tablet carries the weight of roughly 600mg to 800mg of morphine. That implies it is nearly ten times more powerful. It’s no wonder Suboxone won't ever take over the market. Why? Because a single box of the 8mg strength costs about $100. If you are using it, just take a look at your receipt when you pick it up.
From a healthcare standpoint, methadone has been the go-to low-cost opioid analgesic since the 70s—or so I believe—because it functions similarly to heroin. A box usually goes for about $3.25, (which $2.25 used to be)
.
Meanwhile, things like OxyContin and Vicodin are prohibitively expensive compared to Suboxone; actually, they cost even more!
I can already envision two generations from now facing massive medical bills despite having insurance. They'll end up stealing a box of Oxy from their grandmother just so they can spend the evening snacking on Oxy while watching the House on TV and getting high.😵🍿
It is much like how previous generations lived it up with Helex and Pfizer 2 mgSR Xanax before they slashed the dosage down to 1mg. Honestly, doing that while smoking a cigarette was quite the experience... 🙂🍿🥱
Where has all that youth gone?😁🐔
Though, looking at this now, I realize I am drifting off-topic. I am not trying to troll; I am simply pointing out the direction this conversation is heading...
velvetmoose9 said:There are several clinical justifications that might lead a psychiatrist to prescribe OxyContin. Primarily, this medication is indicated for the management of severe, chronic pain when non-opioid alternatives have proven insufficient or ineffective. In certain therapeutic contexts, a psychiatrist may also oversee its use if a patient is dealing with intense physical discomfort that directly exacerbates a psychiatric condition, such as debilitating anxiety or major depressive disorder, creating a cycle where physical agony impedes mental stability. It is a decision typically made after an exhaustive evaluation of the patient's medical history and a careful assessment of the risk-to-benefit ratio regarding dependency. 🤔
Under which specific diagnosis was this issued? 🤔
I find myself pondering the same question. Those individuals here claiming to have ingested those pills should be aware that such medication is classified as an opioid, placing it in the same pharmacological category as substances like heptanone or Suboxone.
This is actually my first time hearing that this medication has been approved here in the States!
OxyContin is incredibly widespread across America... essentially, the generic version functions much like the Vicodin we all know, which is practically what Dr. House relies on to keep going because he's become so "dependent."😵
However, I am curious about the prescribing authority for such a drug. Would a general practitioner be able to write the prescription, or does it strictly require a specialist—in this specific case, a psychiatrist?
I am inquiring with the moderator to ascertain whether this particular thread has been officially closed or if there is some other underlying reason for its status. It strikes me as quite unusual that there hasn't been a single contribution posted here in over three weeks.
Hello, everyone!
To be as concise as possible, I have spent roughly ten years struggling with various substances, primarily methadone—which has been my mainstay for about seven years now, despite several unsuccessful attempts at detoxing.🤦
What I am truly interested in pertains to the physiological effects of my usage. Back when I was consuming 20ml of solution daily (which equates to 40mg of heptanone), I existed in a state of total lethargy, essentially a zombie, while also managing a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.😵
During that period, my body weight fluctuated significantly. In the winter months, I would gain weight due to the notorious bloating associated with methadone, yet that wasn't always the case. I recall last summer vividly; my clothes were falling off me, and a colleague actually expressed genuine concern that I had reached a breaking point because I looked so emaciated. I believe I weighed well under 150 pounds, even though I stand about 5'10" and have a naturally slight build. Today, having finally hit rock bottom and after much deliberation, I experienced a sudden moment of clarity where I decided enough was enough. I find the idea of methadone repulsive now. I began tapering off very gradually—just a tiny amount each month using a diabetic syringe—and I can proudly say that today, I am down to only 8ml per day.😁 My primary question remains: how much longer until I reach zero? There are times when I have leftovers and simply discard them. IMAGINE THAT.😒 AAHhh, to think that I used to clutch my methadone and defend every single drop with my life... honestly, my perspective has shifted so completely. However, the dosage isn't my main concern right now; it is my weight. How is it possible that even though I am taking significantly less medication and living a much healthier lifestyle than I did last summer, and even though I eat very little and skip dinner, I cannot seem to shed these pounds? I am sitting at 238 pounds.🙂 It defies all logic to me. How? Why? On one hand, I suppose the weight doesn't bother me too much, because if I weren't this size, those old habits might have claimed me already, and I would likely be lying somewhere at 140 pounds at the age of 34, with no telling what kind of conditions I'd be in.
Therefore, if anyone here can provide an explanation for this mystery, I would be most grateful. I would particularly value input from those with medical expertise.
Best regards!
