The article seems to imply that the 1/2 reduction is due to the amount scrap material from milling. Isn’t this material just recycled?

At the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore there are 9 concrete ships, left over from WWII, that were deliberately sunk in a large arc to form a break-water.

It’s at a state park called Kiptopeke. You can rent kayaks and paddle out to see them up close.

I physically desoldered and replaced the very bright 6500k interior overhead LEDs in my VW with much warmer units. It makes a huge difference when turning them on for a second and not killing my night vision. Also just much more pleasant and natural light in my opinion.

Real TLDR: Trump distracts from Epstein news by threatening new war

There’s something absurd about a hospital charging 195k for 4 hours of work with the end result of the patient being dead.

Not saying the doctors did anything wrong but… oof

And then just another year until self selfing and we will have come full circle

This is exactly why they will have an “expert panel” to make that determination. They wouldn’t make something up

I had never heard of them before but immediately thought: “I love it, what a cool name!”. Sphere and computer feels like such a juxtaposition

What is the quote from?

I work for one of the largest packaging companies in the world. Customers across the board in the US are cutting back on how much packaging they need due to presumably lower sales volume. Make of that information what you will.

I remember having similar experiences as a child. What's strange to think about is; what if we lived in a world where we all had this symptom and just considered it normal? The intersection of "reality" and perception is a fascicnating place

It’s a little difficult to describe as 5-meo-DMT is not a visual type of trip. In fact I get almost no visuals from it even at relatively high doses.

I would describe 5-meo as a trip that gives you an immediate understanding of how life and the universe “works” at a very fundamental level. Your perception changes from analytical type thinking to all of a sudden just knowing how everything fits together and how you can control reality around you. A bit like pulling the curtain back and seeing the source code of realty but then also intuitively knowing how to manipulate and rewrite it and seeing the effects of that in real time.

I wish I could explain it better.

In terms of ROA between vaping and IM get the same type of knowing but from a different perspective. Injected feels like your personal programming code gets rewritten and you have a reality shift to having administrator privileges while vaped feels like the person that wrote the code is a co-pilot in your head explaining how the code is written and how it executes to present as reality to you.

There’s definitely a lot of overlap between each roa type though.

What I describe above is also my experience after dozens of trips with 5-Meo. The first few were definitely more confusing and at times overwhelming as the perspective shift can be severe. Once you get experienced though it’s a fun way to cruise around in “reality”

That’s a good protocol for safely doing IM as you describe it. Though that seems like a big IM dose! :D I’m not too familiar with 4-aco-dmt so couldn’t say.

For 5-meo I generally do 6-8mg prepared as above. That seems subjectively close to 15-20mg vaped (powder in a glass pipe not in a “juice” vape).

But either of those are definitely a commitment to the ride, lol. I do like the mixed jaguar vape cartridges for micro dosing though (like Bill prepares them in the article). Very easy to control your dosage that way with the ability to start slow and add more with additional puffs.

To me it feels like a completely different drug compared to nnDMT. 5-meo-DMT also feels very different depending on the roa from my experience (vaped vs IM)

If doing a bad job is being the 2024 Virginia library of the year I doubt it.

It sounds more like the same psychological manipulation that underpins the IRL world (at least the US) in the form of capitalism. Engineered towards adults to buy as much useless crap as possible.

Teach kids that it’s the same kind of manipulation as in their games (and how to spot it) and perhaps they will be better equipped to not get fucked by adult life.

The way the world works these days m 60 Days is enough for the president to unilaterally get us into war with literally every country on the planet.

This president has clearly exposed the unarticulated parts of out laws which is supposed to make them work; The hope that the president will essentially act and interpret them in “good faith”

Just out of curiosity as I’m not familiar with the laws here; If a random person on the street confesses a crime (child sexual abuse or otherwise) to me am I required to report it or do I simply have the right to report it if I so choose?

For most people a good 2.1 system vs surround or soundbars is where it’s at these days. As you say most surround mixing is an afterthought now anyway.

The physics of moving air to create sound hasn’t really changed in any meaningful ways; the biggest upgrade is usually larger drivers fed with more power. I think most would experience that as much more of a theatre like experience than 7+ tiny underpowered satellites outputting an already bad mix.

As I’ve grown older I’ve come to realize that what truly makes high end luxury cars is the suspension and the sound deadening. The other stuff is important but doesn’t really set the cars apart. Sitting in a little mobile room completely divorced from the sensory input of the outside world truly feels luxurious

How is the unit for domestic component content defined? Is a screw a component in the same way a windshield is? Is it by weight? By cost?

Just wanted to comment on what a great mission Ameelio seems to have! Glad you guys are helping some of the most unseen in our society. Kudos!

I came to this country as an immigrant and gained my citizenship while going through the appropriate legal channels. I have zero fear of being rounded up in the current political climate.

The reason? I’m a white guy from Germany.

The entire process was easy for me. No one ever questions where I’m from because I’m white, have a white collar job, and speak fluent English. That seems enough to be enough for any fellow American to not consider me a “foreigner”.

If everything else about me was the same except I had darker skin and an accent I would be extremely scared right now that I could get rounded up based on nothing more than someone’s vibes of me.

There’s Habitat for Humanity which I think would fit this description.

I’ve personally never involved myself with it but over the last few months the group built a modest house on a small lot next to my ex-spouse’s place. Every weekend I saw a group of folks (ranging in age from early 20s to retirement) there building, chatting and generally being very friendly with one another. Really cool to see.

lol yes.

I believe it’s an Ayurvedic treatment. You can get premixed versions which contain mustard and baking soda plus some other herbal ingredients. However if you end up doing them with any frequency it’s much more economical to just buy bulk ground yellow mustard powder from Amazon or similar.

You soak in a lukewarm warm bath with the powder for about 10 minutes during which you will start to sweat like you never have before (so drink lots of water before and after). You then wrap yourself up in a towel and continue sweating for another 10 minutes or so followed by a brisk shower.

I recommend giving it a try next time you feel a cold or something coming on. I find it very effective and worst you’ll sweat for a while and be out a cup of mustard ;)

I take mustard baths occasionally (about a cups worth) when I feel a cold or virus coming on which seems to kind of fast track clearing out whatever is causing it. Feel amazing after. Better than baseline as I’ve found a similar effect when not sick.

I think it’s largely irrelevant now. The cats out of the bag and any country holding large amounts of t-notes and facing hostility from the US will dump them to get Trump to back off.

No. Not sure what the expectations are for HS kids who use their laptops for classwork.

So what does that mean? Run as VP and have the president resign after taking office?

It seems some are. My kid is in 4th grade in a city public school (US) and the district just this year banned all phones, tablets, and smart watches during the school day. We’ll see how it goes.
