    anyone microdosing? I am building a regimen for myself and maybe another that lasts 3 months. I'll be dosing psilocybin every 3 days. I'm pulverizing everything into powder then packaging them into 0.1 gram doses using gelatin capsules. I plan to start by using 0.1g a day to start knowing I can double a dose easily that way, or take a few for a good weekend. Given what I've heard about 0.25 of what I got, I'm thinking 0.1 will be a good start.

    • Macrodosing is fun as shit too!davey_g
    • mind you, that 0.1g will be dehydrated material, so I'm presuming that 0.1g dry will be more potent than the 0.25g wet.imbecile

    Two thoughts just occurred as I went to get lunch:

    Is there anything more disgusting than watching birds eat human vomit?

    Is there a worse song than that horrid "Christmas Shoes" song to have stuck in your head?

    Because both just happened to me in the last 20 minutes and I think I need to go lie down.

    • Yes. Watching humans eat human vomit.

      Yes. "Chocolate Rain"

    Just got asked for an ID first time in a really long time. And I happened to not have it with me. So I asked the waitress to check out my receding hairline and that should be a good enough indication that I'm old enough to drink.

    It worked.
    I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about it.

    What's the diff between Coated vs Uncoated PMS? If someone gives you the hex color, is that totally off?

    • The ink sits on top of coated paper, it absorbs more in uncoated paper. The same PMS color uncoated will be darker and less saturated, generally.monNom
    • Hex color is RGB, so yeah, that will totally be off for a print-job, but it's fine for web.monNom
    • hex colour for use in digital from a pantone ref? wouldn't be a diff, coated and uncoated relate to how colours come out on diff papers.fadein11

    I have an idea for a new crypto-coin:

    Basically it's the opposite of lottery. To play you need to invest at least $1000. Assume there are 100 players who have invested $1000+ each.

    Every day a player is chosen on random to lose $1000 from his wallet. These money are divided between all other players proportionally to the size of their holdings.

    In other words there is 1% chance to lose everything and 99% chance to gain $10 every day (assuming new players keep joining).

    Discuss.

    There are several apps where you pay $4 additional and some random stranger goes and picks up your food and delivers it for.

    That's the world we live in? Adults with cars sign up for Postmates and do your errands for $4?

    Went out for a work thing Friday night with a new potential writing partner. I took him to a movie premiere. Before the night was up we decided to grab a drink. He took 2 sips, and passed out standing up, mid sentence.

    We hadn't been drinking much. We had 1 pregame shot and a blunt before we got to the bar. So after I picked him up off the floor and got him outside, I suggested he make a Dr. appointment this week because that was weird and not drug or alcohol related. He said maybe he was standing too long, but we were only standing for 20 minutes including the walk to the bar, and we sat through a 2 hour movie. He said this has happened of other time but he was heavily drinking/partying and didn't think much of it. I say, the fact that it happened not drinking much at all is why he should get checked out.

    Since I grew up on Doogie Houser and my mom wanted me to be a doctor, my guess is blood pressure, circulation issues of some sort, diabetes or hypoglycemia. I wonder how close I am.

    • sounds like he dosed himself by accident. don't leave you drink unattended, shellie!Gnash
    • That's not possible imo. We just got our drinks, never sat down, never put our drinks down. We were there for less than 10 minutes.shellie
    • (i was kidding) lol at the doogie reference :)Gnash
    • The only show I could stay up for. I'll always be a child doctor in my heart. Got my degree on WebMD.com.shellie
    • gnahs was kidding, sounds like diabetes or he's a sneaky twit doing loads of bugle and booze in the bogs.fadein11
    • or was he just nervous and had a shed load before hooking up?fadein11
    • I really can't imagine someone doing enough of whatever to pass out because they were nervous hanging out with me lol. I'm gunna put money on Diabetes.shellie
    • BUT..... he was not fat, actually kinda slim. Usually weight problems are a big give away for diabetes or heart problems but not always.shellie

    Could you survive, naked and with only 2 tools in the wilderness for 21 days? I'm obsessed with Naked and Afraid, and I would do that challenge for free or for money if I could eliminate all bugs. I'm really crafty. I like to build things with my hands. I think I could pimp a living structure in short order. I can make clothing, shoes, and daily comforts out of just about anything. I know my way around cooking. I have a chance at fishing with fish baskets but I'll be completely useless without a compound bow when it comes to hunting and trapping. I don't know shit about safe foraging -- I'd likely kill myself with something poisonous. What would you bring to the table?

    • i spear fish a couple times a week and can hold my breath for about 2:30, i’m not sure what this show is aboutmoldero
    • but if it’s cutthroat like that survivor show was back in the day, i think i would just spear all those people toomoldero
    • is survivor still a show?moldero
    • 2:30? Holy shit. I can only do 50 secs on a good day. On the bad day I will have to stop at 25 sec and get a cigarette.pango

    I don't think you're supposed to be as excited as I am to get sinus surgery tomorrow, but I'm kind of pumping my fist about it and I'm super hopeful that the outcome will be life-changing. Getting surgery on a deviated septum, turbinate reduction, and balloon sinuplasty. My sinus issues have gotten so much worse as I've gotten older, and all the stories about breathing better, getting fewer colds, etc. make me feel pretty confident this is all going to work wonderfully.
