Guix and Nix can do that. They were built from the ground up to be able to have multiple, simultaneous versions of everything installed in separate store, and you can request on a per shell basis what you want in your environment.

"conservative administrations tend to favor cutting regulations"- citation needed. They favor looking like they do, but end up putting in punitive regulations that only the large entrenched, conservative owned companies can afford to comply with, stifling competition from below.

Some plastics melt at a certain temperature (thermoplastics like PETG/PLA) and others don't (thermosets like resin/epoxy). Its possible you just attempted to melt the type that just burns when you heat it.

The tooling is really mature. Amazon used xen for ages. kvm wins for hardware passthrough and performance, but if your willing to sacrifice a little performance the advanced admin features are competitive.

You bring up an interesting point, not all modern art is directed at anyone other than the artist themselves. Its less likely in that framework that a particular artist just happens to create art that most people would also like and create a name for themselves and there are fewer trying to show off an absurd quantity of craftsmanship in a single work.

The personally confounding thing was that I assumed there would simply be a withdrawal period and I would start to feel normal at some point. That never really happened, even years later. After hearing rumors I started looking at articles like this https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-adhd-drugs-tak... and this https://www.acnp.org/g4/GN401000166/CH162.htm and I started to think that perhaps taking these drugs as a child over a period of 8 years might actually have had a much deeper impact that I realized and after trying various things over the years I found some that seemed to help. The causality was a little funny. I started lions mane, it helped. Herbals usually don't do much and I started doing research into why it might help so much. Lion's mane increases nerve growth factor, and that led me down the rabbit hole.

I went down this path and after much struggle, I learned the hard way that amphetamines can damage your nervous system. My current routine is to use samatha (calmness) style meditation to promote parasympathetic activity and taking Lion's Mane mushroom to promote nerve healing. It's been a decade since I stopped taking amphetamines and its the first thing that actually seemed to make a difference in restoring what was lost. Your not alone in struggling after going off medication.

Making vice illegal simply encourages "fake virtue". If you needed the vice to be illegal to stop you, you weren't virtuous in the first place. But you can pretend as long as you are "innocent". Innocence is not Purity.
