- Comment on Why methadone? 5 days ago:
Doctors use what works! If the research says that methadone plus rehab is a more effective treatment for opioid addiction than just rehab, they’ll use methadone plus rehab.
It’s basically the same reason people use nicotine gum to help quit smoking. The cravings can be really tough to manage, so having something that allows you to reduce those gives you a much better chance to successfully quit.
Interesting note, you know what the treatment for severe alcoholism is? More alcohol! Alcohol addiction can get to the point where patients will literally die if they go cold turkey. Doctors can and do prescribe alcohol in those cases.

- Comment on Does videocall software like Zoom and MS Teams arrange users in order of joining? 5 weeks ago:
Not sure about Teams, but for Zoom you’re only first in the list locally. Everyone else sees themselves first in the list in their local client. The ordering of participants in Zoom meetings is documented here.

I thought they were banana slices. Kiwi would be even more cursed, which I didn’t think was possible. Either way, kind of it to warn us of the danger it poses! Biohazard symbols might be more appropriate though.
