Like, if you’re gonna spend this amount of money or any amount of money on doing this, or any amount of time, fucking do it in a way that doesn’t rot in less than two weeks.
It probably looked great the day it was put up.
It’s London isn’t it? A crack user probably couldn’t afford to rent that plastic shed on top of a house.
I guess there’s a police station in the area, because there’s also an odd sign further up the road stating that police aren’t allowed to park in the residential zones.
In some areas ecstasy is primarily used to describe pressed pills that have mdma as the main active ingredient, while molly refers to pure mdma, either in baggies or capsules.
Honestly it’s the purest it’s ever been in Europe. It used to be cut to fuck or pills were pressed with all sorts of shit Inc mainly speed.
I’ve taken with old skool heads that used to take a lot back in the day and they all agreed the new stuff rocks their socks off. Buying from a reputable seller I must say.
to add to this, a lot of what was sold as ecstasy (at least back in my day) contained little to no mdma at all and was typically just a cheap upper of some sort. originally ecstasy was close to 1:1 slang for pressed mdma pills but over time it became more attached to the pills and less to the molly specifically (mostly for marketing purposes).
of course you can crush x and snort it but at that point it would probably be more accurate to refer to it as molly or speed depending on what’s actually in it.
Yeah, we definitely still needed reagent test kits back then. At least the one that would turn yellow for the common fake kind at the time, and black for mdma. But the real stuff was still around.
MDMA is the active ingredient of ecstasy and sure you can snort it I guess but it hurts like a mother and in all my years I have honestly never seen anyone snort mdma.
I saw people try to break up an XTC pill to put into a joint once but they were clueless and I had to tell them that wasn’t how you did that lol
It wouldn’t. THC has to be decarboxylated via heating before it has any psychoactive effects.
If you eat an ounce of weed, you’d just get a tummy ache. If you heat up an ounce of weed in the oven just hot enough to decarboxylate the THC before you eat it, you’ll be experiencing your tummy ache on an entirely different plane of existence.
I said upvoted post on kbin. Not posted on kbin. I might be wrong, but I think I see only kbin upvotes and downvotes. Right now I see 6 upvoted and 1 downvote to the post you have replied. How much do you see?
I’m a night owl and even early morning acclimatization hasn’t helped.
There were a few months that I had to do 12.5 hour shift work where I had to be at work at 5:30 AM and I was miserable the entire time. It’s hard to adjust when your natural cycle is like 10 am to 2 am.
We did week about shifts. That meant earlies for a week, nights, then lates. Every week you had to change your sleep pattern.
I liked earlies to nights because long weekend (finish 11am Fri start 10am Mon) and a fun “adaptation” that required me to stay up as late as I possibly could on Sunday night. I’d drink, smoke and play games with US chums (UK here) until 3 or 4am and then sleep as late as possible.
It fucking sucked but I did it for a good decade. Then managed to wangle permanent 6-2 shift.
It was a revelation.
Suddenly I had a regular sleep pattern. It was hard to train, but I managed to get a good 6 hours a night most nights. Which was good, I’ve always suffered insomnia for lots of reasons, so I managed to become one of those people that survives on minimal sleep. More sleep was amazing.
I’ve kind of got it down nowadays, thanks in no small part to some pills I was given for my restless legs. They make me drowsy, so if I take them at the right time I can force a sleep pattern, and they stop me kicking my wife up the arse when I’m asleep.
Back to your point after a trip through the weeds, I now do 2 week late shift and 2 week early shift, there’s a permanent night shift at this new place.
When I’m on the early shift I wake up at 5am on the Saturday and Sunday without fail. Once I forgot to set my alarm for work and woke up a minute before it should have gone off. Years of the early shift have honed my wake up time to a knife edge.
Sometimes on the weekend I can’t get back to sleep for various reasons, so it’s not an uncommon sight to find me gaming on my PC at 7am on a Sunday morning. I don’t want to be there, but it’s kinda nice having the peace and quiet of being a night owl with the sun up and a sleep cycle behind instead of in front of you.
I had the opposite experience a few years ago, I am very much a night owl.
I did a job that required me in the office for 7am for a few months, I was noticeably less effective for the whole duration, I was just slower at everything and was basically constantly tired. Switched back to getting in for 9-10am and the difference was night and day, as basically I was back to my old levels of effectiveness after a day or two.
I just think I’m one of these people that cannot adapt, or at least if I do, it comes with a cost.
What’s wild is that you’ll see them get a night job, or have to stay up late on vacation a few times and they’ll be 100/10 miserable af. Never adapt to it, and still keep believing iTs aLl SeLf DiScIpLInE
Well what it ‘proves’ to them is that mankind is supposed to follow the exact same routine that works for them. My Dad was forever saying “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Died when he was 45.
He didn’t have a ton of money certainly. It’s fair to say he wasn’t a complete idiot but I think that even the example I’ve given so far argues against any claim to sagacity.
My dad is still among us, even though I grew up with his take on it, loosely translated:
Early awake, early asleep. That brings health to every weeb.
It’s possible that he already translated it from English (your dad’s saying or an unknown variation of it), and that I’ve now translated it back to English, for each translation moving a bit further away from the original meaning in order to keep it rhyming. (I wrote “weeb” to make it rhyme, my dad’s version said “boy”.)
There’s actually a genetic bias on it. It can be overridden, but you’ll always feel a bit burnt out from it. It also changes with age (teenagers are the latest, getting earlier as you age.
I’m the same way. If I fall asleep at 10pm but wake up at 6am I’m absolutely miserable for the first hour, but if I go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 10am I’m refreshed and in a good mood most of the time. I’m 30 and it hasn’t gotten any better with age yet.
I had to get up at 05:30 during my teenage years to get to school in time, which was horrible. If I slept in, I could easily sleep til noon or even later. Now that I’m older, I usually wake up around 08:00, even on weekends.
sure it’s a lack of self control, if i had better self control i could force myself to go to bed at 21:00 and lie there for 2 hours until i fall asleep out of tortured boredom, and then i could force myself out of bed at 07:00 despite my limbs feeling like lead and every movement bringing me abject misery and pain!
Morning people are courtious and quiet for the ones sleeping late. On the other hand when a night person has to wake up early, they’ll wake everyone else as well
I’m a night person but proper sleep only works at night so I had to become an early waking very quiet night person.
Oh fuck no, you should see the difference between me and my girlfriend when the other is asleep, I used to work night shift and she wouldn’t wake up when I came back at 4am even if we lived in a 500sq ft apartment, but she sure as hell would wake me up at 7 am by making breakfast and coffee!
I had a roommate that loved pour over coffee in the morning. That in itself isn’t the issue; she taught me how to use her V60 and it actually makes pretty good coffee.
No, the issue was she ground her beans fresh. Every morning, at 6AM. Know what the loudest sound in the universe is? An electric coffee grinder at 6AM.
Maybe instead of being exclusively for one group over others, our society could kinda be for everycritter?
[Sarcasm, though not necessarily directed at the person I’m replying to] Nah, why would we want a liveable world when we can just demand that everyone be a damn automaton that exists to work all day.
lol Why the fuck is this the most downvoted reply? Did you all even read it, or did you count the score and prepare yourself for outrage? There’s literally nothing wrong with what was said. ‘Night people struggle with morning behavior more than morning people.’ Sounds like a valid perspective, esp if this person lives with/is a courteous morning person.
I dump them into a sieve and rinse them off before transferring to another bowl. I also remove the squishy ones.
It should keep the mold spores away for a little longer.
Get a banana hanger. It provides better airflow and keeps the ethylene gas that bananas emit from stagnating around them. This gas is what ripens the fruit so fast. In fact, you can put other fruits around bananas and they’ll ripen faster as well.
The other benefit is that it helps prevent bruising on the bottom of the bananas and makes them last longer as well.
You can have bananas last for up to 2 weeks with this method.
You should absolutely wash everything you intend to put in your body. Not only are fruits and vegetables covered with things like pesticides, even when they are totally organic, they were probably fertilized with nitrates which are bad to ingest (and organic pesticides are a thing and not good for humans). And even if that isn’t the case, they grow those things outside like on the ground. There is a reasonable chance at least one animal has pooped or peed on them.
What can I say, I’ve literally never in my life heard anyone doing that or even recommending it. People just eat the strawberries fresh after buying it from from the berry stand
I also noticed that, especially with bananas, when I started washing them as soon as I got home I didn’t get any gnats, because gnats will absolutely lay their eggs on the outside of fruits even at the store.
Haven’t tried the vinegar yet but I store them in an air tight container and throw a bit of paper towel in there for good measure. Lasts at least a week.
Well, it’s not exactly an objective thing, but the most concise way I’ve heard it described is “plausible deniability”. It’s always just a joke until… it isn’t.
Flirting is mainly about showing interest but also always giving the other person a graceful out. It’s asking out without asking out, so nobody has to actively reject the other, but instead can just stop responding.
