In some cases, YES, it does. Your body is capable of growing new arteries and veins if it detects a shut off of oxygen to various parts of the body. Whether it does it fast enough to keep you alive is a different story.
"Anecdotally however, I'm not sure the medication actually has much of a direct affect on memory"
Judging by your UID, you're a young millennial.
Come back in 15 more years when you start seeing the extended effects of those amphetamines on your nervous system. I took that shit for 12 years, from age 6 to 18. The damage it did is quite noticable. You'll start thinking you're getting Alzheimer's around 35 if you took it as young and as long as I did.
Spoken like a fool that has never been involved in actual research. You have to start somewhere, and usually small, to get others to try repeating your results on a larger scale. That's how most science works, now days.
"Youâ(TM)d see that students who go to college make way more money during their careers than those that donâ(TM)t."
Spoken like the true Apple-using ignorant tool you are. Bill Gates dropped out of College. He made more money than 99% of the rest of the college graduates COMBINED on a daily basis for almost twenty years.
"If it comes down to dollars and cents, a therapist or computer âoescientistâ makes better money than a chemist. Hard science generally does not pay as well as soft."
Do you even pay ANY fucking attention to the pharmaceutical industry? Probably not, Apple users don't really have much access to useful scientific tools and software.

On my FB business page, I keep getting notifications of likes on my posts - I don't HAVE any posts yet, just store items, and none of those have any likes on them. The notification also doesn't tell you who liked the post like it should.
FB is flat-out lying to get people to use its platform, and this should count as false advertisement.
"I've been working with (and programming for) Chromebooks for a number of years now and they are really quite excellent laptops as long as you understand the model in which they're designed."
Bet 20:1 every one of your apps is bloated garbage made with Electron, so you really can't notice any real performance issues because you're bound by shitty slow bloated-library software in the first place instead of proper native fucking code. It's like using DirectX instead of Vulkan - you're stuck on DX, pros like me are writing the Vulkan.
Meanwhile, I do ASM. Come back when you can reach even 1/5th my program performance with 1/1,000th the codebase.
Second Life clone, in 2D, with full turing-complete language, packaged as a fully-customizable engine with HTML and CSS support for basic web support (because it also has a built-in webclient,) in 4 megs (not including the area music, which is a mere 700 megs of OGG, about 4 full albums of material.) Runs on Pentium 2 class hardware, and works natively on almost every phone (excepting iPhone.) You got any MODERN (as in as old as mine, within two years) programs that complex, yet that small and efficient, that run on such low class hardware, let alone practically everywhere? No? Well, of course not, you're a Chrome/Google-dependent programmer.
So with that first part down, do you want me to continue proving you wrong, or would you rather admit fault and walk away? Camfrog is next, and I'm making that one a VIDEO demonstration so I can really embarrass your ass if you wish to keep on.
"Looking at the comments and I feel like they've been taken a bit out of context - I don't think you can judge ChromeOS by a tablet application."
When Google explicitly enables a multitasking mode and tosses in Android Support for ChromeOS (as of last month?) thus tablet-ifying the whole thing, yes we sure as fuck can judge them by this. Especially when it CONSISTENTLY FAILS HARD.
Seriously, Windows XP with a Pentium 4 and 1Gig of RAM runs literally all of my programs faster than a goddamned Lenovo Thinkpad Chromebook with 4 gigs of RAM and one of the speculative-execution capable Atoms can run the 'native apps' designed by the same companies (which thanks to shit like Electron, the apps are 3-4x more bloated than the ad-ridden windows versions, and yet the windows versions STILL OUTPERFORM THEIR CHROME/DROID COUNTERPARTS. Camfrog runs faster, notepad runs faster, calc runs faster. The fucking Chromebook has a goddamned SSD and spinning rust from 2005 still beats its ass in the majority of load times. Calc on Chromebook - 4 seconds to show on screen. XP? As soon as I fucking hit enter the calculator is on-screen.
Anyone that's EVER tried to do serious work with or within the company (speaking as one who was part of their old HelpOuts program, I'm easily much more of an insider than most of you could claim to be) knows better now days than to do any work for Google. Google hasn't been worth a shit in a decade. Eric Schmidt himself stated his job was to get Google as close to the creepy line without crossing it. Eric Schmidt is blind as a fucking bat, he's well past the line and anyone with half a brain knows it.
"They're not stand alone systems, they need an internet link."
Apparently you missed the whole VIDEO CHAT part of my statement. Perhaps you should actually READ AND COMPREHEND what I wrote before replying, eh? Because right now it looks like your critical thinking faculties are fucked.
"I'm confused by your reference to Camfrog because I don't believe that there's a Chrome Extension for that app - there is one for Android and if you're using that, then you probably will have problems on a Chromebook because Android apps are still somewhat marginal."
Apparently, yet-a-fucking-gain, missed that I stated "While just about any app I want to run will run on it, many times, it simply does things the Android way"So you're demonstrating that while you read you're refusing to actually understand and comprehend, and are just regurgiating shit to make yourself feel better.
Meanwhile - There's proof number one for your ignorant ass and I'll be taking video to demonstrate Camfrog in a bit so you can see that what you experience is absolutely not the norm for anyone that attempts to utilize the FULL CAPABILITY of a Chromebook.
I have a Chromebook. It gets input lag EVEN WITH A KEYBOARD. While just about any app I want to run will run on it, many times, it simply does things the Android way - Even in multitask mode, if I have Camfrog open, and Chrome open, switching from Camfrog to Chrome with a simple mouse click kills my camera in Camfrog, forcing me to unpause it when I go back.
Google's Engineers don't know their heads from their asses. When your Windows chrome Omnibar insists on doing a search on a FULL URL YOU JUST TYPED WITH THE INTENT TO GO DIRECTLY TO THAT SITE, you know Google doesn't even have the bare basics done right for a fucking web browser, let alone a full-blown OS. (No, I use F6 to go directly to the omnibar, all my newly-opened tabs are blank so no searchbar in the middle of the page to go to, and I use the enter key on the keypad to avoid accidental shift-enter searches.)
It's a good thing I didn't pay for the Chromebook. No buyer's remorse, here, since I have no sunk cost. It's just a toy I can use to show people just how shitty the Google experience is in reality.

Developed Aquarium lighting units which can light an entire 55 gallon saltwater reef tank with less than 50 watts of power consumed hourly, and produce consistent growth?
Created prototype lighting systems for Scripps Institute of Oceanography for figuring out *THE* limits of photosynthesis?
What have *YOU* achieved, sonny-boy, besides bloated code that doesn't help humanity in most any way?
And how many going into or leaving the eGPU? Last I checked, you needed an external monitor for Mac eGPU usage if you wanted any actual decent performance. Oh, so let's add how many additional cords going to-from said monitor?
You already walked into a store loaded with fucking security cameras, which has notice of said camera system posted in a conspicuous location.
You already gave up your explicit right to privacy by entering that facility.
Gotta wonder what was patent-worthy, though, because my old porno shop definitely had a microphone and camera pointed right at the counter, so the management could listen in mostly to the customer asking if we carried a specific video or product.
