I bought this cup & saucer for my wife but she can't use it because the words peel off in heat. (thelemmy.club)

The words are also on the inside of the cup.

they’re willing to put up with often times bad coffee (since many roasters don’t respect their decaf options as much as their regular ones) just to be able to drink coffee later in the day. Meanwhile the DBD folk are admitting they’re only drinking it for the caffeine.

Is that such an issue for people? I haven't yet found a limit for regular coffee, after 8 or 9 cups I ran out of day rather than ability to drink more coffee.

    Is caffeine, the drug famous for being a thing that helps you stay awake, a problem for some people when they'd like to go to sleep? Yes. Yes it is.

    Ah yeah, I always thought that was just an excuse people use to drink coffee. Like if I need to stay awake and drink coffee it either does nothing or makes me sleepy

    I do of course have ADHD. Or at least all the symptoms and a diagnosis. Shit's bad enough that the psychiatrist agreed I don't even need to take the test.

    That's a classic ADHD response to caffeine. Generally people with ADHD will still get the jitters and increased heart rate, but they will not get the energy-boosting effect, and sometimes even get sleepy. It being a stimulant, it can also have a (slight) benefit to your ability to focus.

    There is a specific genetic difference in how caffeine is cleaned up in people. Some people are rate limited by the ambirnt CYP1A2 in their system, and others produce more to meet the demand in response to caffeine.

    For the caffeine sensitive there is like a 5 hour half life for caffeine in their system.

    Some people can't have caffeine in the afternoon because it gives them insomnia. Quite a few people I've worked with have told me that they had to stop drinking coffee in the afternoons once they hit their 40s.
