Uranium 🟩

Elvanse is my daily driver, initially started at 30mg and went down to 20, stayed on that for a few years, eventually back up to 30mg where I’m at now.

I have been on it something like 8 years total. And I think 66KG starting weight.

Remember everyone’s dosage is different.

You want the medication to be barely perceptable for long-term stability, you don’t want to chase any rush you have the first time you use it, as that will just end up being higher and higher doses.

I’m pretty sure that’s quoting Salvador Dali…

(/s but actually also not)

The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it’s hard to know what the impact could be.

I’m curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn’t carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)

Any chance of a rough guide/recipe?

This looks like a very effective way of using waste from dry herb vapes

It’s a stereoscopic photo; if you cross your eyes when looking at it so that the two images overlap, it will appears 3D

We already have a people being ‘nostalgic’ for plastic straws… It’s depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.

On a related note, Uranium glass isn’t dangerous at all, it’s production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.

Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.

Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

Honestly, don’t worry about picking one to identify it, the mushroom portion of the fungi is the equivalent of the the flower on a tree.

If you’re really so concerned, place the cap face down after picking so the spores still end up on the ground.

Or if you really don’t want to damage one, use a dentists mirror, or a telescopic inspection mirror, or even a compact mirror, and place a piece of paper with a small hole cut in the centre and a cut from the outer edge to the hole around the mushroom (think of the collars they use at the hair dressers) use a small piece of masking tape to join it and camping peg to pin it to the ground, then return to it later for some spores to inspect and

A quick suggestion as those don’t look like nylon lock nuts; grab yourself some medium strength locktite and put a drop on each of the threads otherwise that frame will slowly become loose due to thermal expansion/contraction cycling

A good way to protect the cutting and speed up the cutting calusing and subsequent rooting is to sprinkle/dip the cutting in either rooting powder or cinnamon. Rooting powder is the better bet for something you want to root, cinnamon is perfect for where a cutting has been taken from as you probably don’t want your established plant to start sprouting roots half way up

It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

Heck, my sister’s asked me to get papers she’s co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years

Yeah, this could be much shorter and not AI written, still I appreciate the idea of exploring technology fundamentals sometimes, just not the way it’s been implemented in this case

An interesting aspect of this is when trying to mover power over long distances AC becomes inefficient and High Voltage DC becomes the more efficient option.

Between 2-3% for HVDC vs 6-7% for AC systems when transmitting over 1000km.

Check your local council’s advice, they will have written rules for what they require; for mine as long as it isn’t caked in food they’ll take it

Trip codes are I think what you’re taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did

TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?

…

I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa’s Law 2010 is where it’s use was superceded in federal usage.

I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it’s still very much within living memory for some.

At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.

I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can’t really keep a word from developing it’s own life.

I will note, my opinion doesn’t hold any real weight here, as I’m the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of “Mental retardation”

I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else

From the page for the bug Dpads:

Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they’re a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! 🕷🍂

Devil’s lettuce, Mary Jane and “marahuana” (in the Hank Hill voice) are probably my favorites that immediately come to mind

Wow, this is absolutely amazing, do you have a build guide or something to reference if I wanted to build one?

Either AI written, or a bad way of phrasing this update from their kickstarter, which suggests that there’s a deadline for any unclaimed physical rewards from the kickstarter for Firmament, suggesting that they’ve still been shipping them up until now

Though the fact that they called it an upcoming title makes me think AI helped write the article.

The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

Surprised Pikachu face

You see it in other drug using communities; it’s really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

Personally I’ve found NAC helps, where it didn’t before when my meds still add their “magic”
