Why does fentanyl feel so good? Let us try it so you don't have to. Fentanyl reaches your brain in seconds, and like other opioids, binds to opioid receptors. It stops pain signals and also releases a flood of dopamine, so the pain melts away as you slide into euphoria.

But before it fully kicks in, it's already made you less sensitive to CO2, slowing your breathing and silencing your body's screams for oxygen. As it's up to 50 times stronger than heroin, it's hard to take a safe dose by eye. An overdose can happen so fast that bodies are found with the deadly need still in the skin.

And if you survive to become dependent, the only way you can feel joy or just fine is the drug, not the people you love. Nothing but coming off is torture, so you keep using it. It numbs you, and then it kills you.

In 2022, there were more fentanyl deaths than all US military deaths since the 60s, including Vietnam. And as it's so cheap to make, it's now mixed with other drugs. You could end up taking it even if you didn't mean to. So be aware and stay safe out there.

Over- and under-estimation of Riemann sums | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

Consider the left and right Riemann sums that would approximate the area under y is equal to g of x between x equals 2 and x equals 8. So we want to approximate this light blue area right over here. Are the approximations overestimations or underestimatio…

Corresponding points and sides of scaled shapes

We are told figure two is a scaled copy of figure one. So this is figure two; here this is figure one. Looks like figure two not only has it been scaled down to a smaller version, but it also looks like it has been rotated 180 degrees, or you could say it…

Finding decreasing interval given the function | Calculus | Khan Academy

Let’s say we have the function ( f(x) = x^6 - 3x^5 ). My question to you is, using only what we know about derivatives, try to figure out over what interval or intervals this function is decreasing. Pause the video and try to figure that out. All right,…
