  1. I found a thing.

    I'm sure you all had noticed the number of the session corresponding to the stylized colon by now.

    The question mark however I just figured out could appear if the physicals are grouped in a bookcase.

    Ahahaha. That's a good find  :biggrin:

  2. I enjoy the Kicking Horse coffee selections and putting in a teaspoon of coconut oil in with a teaspoon of grounded up decarboxylized cannabis in with the grounds. If not that, then the Kirkland brand coffee is perfectly fine.

  3. Vapourizers are not 100% odorless at all. The smell is different from regular marijuana, but other people who vape will recognize the smell immediately (ranges from a light fragrant flower smell to burned popcorn)

     

    Also lol @ the decarboxylator. Just grind up your weed and place it on a baking tray in the oven at around 220 for THC and 240 F THC/CBD for 30-40 min. Saves you $200.

  4. What's the best vaporizer for weed out there? Gonna order one but have no idea wich... so I have been reading leafly for a while about terpenes and I wonder how it all works if the vaporizers are odor-free... newb question I know...

    Reddit's weed vaporizing buying guide 2018 is pretty accurate. I recommend the Arizer Solo 2 price, efficiency and quality. Only problem with it is that its' mouthpieces are glass and you *will* break one at some point, so it is somewhat of a mix between a portable vaporizer and a desktop vaporizer without being an expert at either.

     

    Also dynavap pen's are incredible if you want something that isn't electronic. They're tiny, incredibly efficient, and you can use a butane torch, lighter, campfire, or a stove element to heat them up. Generally speaking, the more expensive the dynavap pens the better the heat will be distributed and the cooler the vapor will be. They range from stainless steel to titanium alloy.

    There's also this hideously dated page that goes into the sideband maths that Entorwellian reminded me of when we were hanging out a few years back. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the author but you'll know the disgusting orange background when you see it. I'll try to find that too. It's not so much about musical applications as some of the kind of math/harmonic/psychoacoustic aspects of it.

    https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80256-fm-synthesis-techniques-anecdotes/?p=2054404

     

    From a coding perspective, its not outdated at all. Even for programming a dx7 synth it's very useful.

     

    Aside note: I've Dr. Truax a few times and I'll have some funny stories about him some day (i.e. he moonlights as a breeder for Best in Show dogs and had a cameo in the movie with the same name.). It ended up leading to a series of big "curb your enthusiasm" moments later on in life but so probably not share it on the forum here because I don't want it tracked down to here that I've been flinging mud lol. If you're here for another ae venue, sweepstakes, i'll have to tell you in person.

    I think hello spiral has no idea what autism means and that the word shouldn't be abused to insult people because it's a slap in the face for everyone who really suffers from that disease.

     

    yet you're the one calling autism a disease you prick

    It is listed as a mental disease

     

     

    edit: Before you say it's a disorder and not a disease, read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder

     

     

    Synonyms Psychiatric disorder, psychological disorder, mental illness, mental disease

     

    The DSM V has "Internet Gaming Disorder" as a mental disease... Just sayin'

    I am starting to believe that Valve might be a big front for money laundering. They stopped making games and went to a purely microtransaction and vendors fee based economy. Plus, encouraging all of those thousands of crappy asset flip games to infest the storefront is the perfect way to cover up money laundering. They used to be really stringent on quality but now you can put anything up for $100.

     

    Probably not the appropriate thread to post this in but fuck it.

    I heard that Valve get 30 percent of the cut on all Steam transactions. Hard for me to knock Steam itself though, as I've been using it since its debut in late 2001. I think May 2005 is when the service made its first third party developer game Rag Doll Kung Fu available.

     

    The good news is, and speaking of third party developers, I just stumbled upon a Project Borealis last night in the works. And it might just be the closest thing we ever get to HL3. I also get the impression that they are being cautious, so as not to repeat the train wreck that Hunt Down The Freeman turned out to be.

     

    Yeah true. Rag Doll Kung Fu was a total POS too.

     

    But what if you used Unity or something to whip something up in 2 days, a bunch of stupid dlc, and then use dirty money to buy tons of copies and get clean money out at a cost. It's ineffective but with enough shovelware and crap you could probably not alert anyone to your activities.

     

    Kickstarter would be even more vulnerable and probably make an even bigger gain using that.

  9. done some reading and decided to go for it. il give it two months and then see how i feel. whats your thoughts on lifting weights in the first week or two?

    Consume lots of fat if you do. The diet is an energy killer and there are days where I literally have to will my legs and arms to move. (sometimes just straight up MCT oil), you can make fat bombs out of coconut oil, butter, coca and coconut flakes, and nuts like almonds. Put butter or oil on everything. Eat avocados for the precious oils. Take multivitamins too for the loss in calcium and vitamin sources. The first week I would not exert yourself heavily at all and ffs drink water. Like 6 litres a day.

     

    My personal favourite is CBD Coffee, which is lightly vaped weed soaked in MCT oil and converted into CBD cannaoil. I end up emulsifying the oil with either almond milk, heavy cream and coffee with a large electric mixer. It's like a lattee that gives you a 4 hour jolt, followed by a 4 hour body high... You can totally do that without the weed.

  10. i pretty much enjoy just eating an exotic assortment of roasted vegetables anyway, i might give it a go. all id be cutting out is my morning baguette sandwich. 

    Yeah occasionally I'll make almond flour bread if I really want toast or something for a sandwich. It's pretty good, if a bit cake-like in texture. I even found an oatmeal replacement that does the trick in fooling me. There are work arounds for pretty much anything you miss. Even sugarless chocolate chip cookies (amazing when they are pulled straight from the freezer.).

     

    Also if you do the keto diet, report back to us how it goes :)

  11. Well done, how did you find the motivation stick to it? I could definitely do with eating better, but somehow that sentiment is never in my head when I'm actually buying food, or cooking it

     

    My motivation was basically not dying and constantly suffering from gutrot and asphyxiation. I also didn't give up coffee or marijuana, so I had some coping mechanisms which admittedly probably were not the most helpful things for my health. However, adhering to the diet isn't too hard after you get past the "keto flu" stage. I stopped craving carbs and I don't want to eat them, and I only have two meals a day, but they are big (like 3 hamburger patties and two fistfuls of spinach, 4 eggs, cauliflour hash browns and bacon, etc..). Your mind adapts to the change. Plus the one time I cross-contaminated my diet and got sick again, and felt my mood and body change from just that hunk of bread, I knew I'd rather feel better than feel shitty for days on end for eating a haagen dazs ice cream bar. Once your body switches from using carbs as fuel to ketones, and you take away sugar, your sense of smell and taste changes and bland food starts to taste good again, and water much sweeter. 

     

    The cooking part SUCKS because all of your time is spent cooking. However, time spent cooking is time not ruminating on things that make you feel bad too, and you become very good at cooking because you will want to find as much variety as possible from a limited subset of food.. If I don't feel like cooking I get a hot whole roasted chicken or frozen hamburger or turkey patties (check to make sure there is no wheat or sugar in 'em.) from the grocery store and have that over several days, then make soup with the bones afterwards. If I have too much soup I'll condense it down into a gelatin glob for portable soup.

     

     

    You can drink some alcohols on it. Some beers and hard liquors have "low carbs", and I think some of the much harder liquors you can drink too. I don't drink anymore though, so I don't have first hand experience.

     

    There is a site here explaining some of it: https://www.ruled.me/ketogenic-diet-and-alcohol/

     

    edit: Oh and for fucks sake drink LOTS of water on it. You pee like a type 2 diabetic ready to go into a coma. I'd say 80% of the problems people have on the keto diet can be attributed to not enough water.

  13. Pretty shit food. Lots of wheat products, sugar, startches. I'd have like sugary cereal or a croissant for breakfast, sandwich or something for lunch and pasta or roast with potatoes and carrots for dinner. Probably a few cookies and a chocolate bar in between.

     

    Nah the fastfood cravings. Soon as I cut carbohydrates from my diet I got pretty ill. I couldn't stop thinking about going to Dairy Queen and getting one of their cakes with just the chocolate ice cream, fudge and cookie crumbles. The cravings subsided in week 2, as did my asthma, allergies, ibs, anxiety, depression, sweating (!!!), skin problems. I only had to use my ventolin once during the diet, and that was when I accidentally ate a chunk of bread and had an attack a day later. Before that it was almost daily.

     

    I also lost about 30 lbs.

  14. I struggled with severe OCD, anxiety and bipolar depression for 7+ years, coupled with lots of other physical symptoms that was leading me to an early grave. Was on a rotation of medications that had limited success. I think the first clue that got me thinking that it might have been diet was when I found that anti-histamines lifted my depression more than valporic acid did. I switched what I ate over to the keto diet. Just meat burgers, chicken, broccoli, spinach, asparagus and the occasional helping of blueberries and almonds. With the exception of having low energy for a day or two out of the week, I'm pretty much 90% better after 2 months and each week feels like an improvement. It's insane. If someone told me that changing my diet would have stopped my depression I would have written them off as a quack. I still have the OCD but it feels more "in check" than it previous was. I feel like I could probably cure everything if I went zero-carb but I read up on it and it sounds too insane, nutritionally.

     

    Holy the fuck though the first week on the diet was fucked up. I felt like a junkie longing for a Snickers and KFC fix. I was sweating, throwing up, shitting myself, the works.

  15. https://weather.com/science/space/news/2018-04-04-milky-way-galaxy-supermassive-black-holes-gravity

     

    Scientists discovered that there are hundreds to thousands of black holes at the center of our milky way galaxy. Apparently when a black hole forms and starts to swirl around the galaxy, they have gravitational friction pull these monsters into the center and they're all moving around in there at insane speeds and rotations. I can't even imagine what it would be like in the center if you were to fly a ship through.. time and space would be insane.
