I'm doing 5g of mushrooms tomorrow in silent darkness for the first time. I have no idea what to expect as I've never done it this way, my last dose was 4.5g and I handled it really well and had a beautiful experience out in nature. Also, planning on vaping some DMT powder in the coming weeks and going on my first major trip for the first time.

I was leaving a comment but it wouldn't upload. Checked the post and it's gone. Checked the person's profile and it's gone too.

I'm pretty ocd so i find it really annoying if the space bar is not exactly in the center. What i meant by "center" is:

• the left and right vertical edges of the space bar must line up (or get pretty close) to the edges of the touchpad. E.g. pretty much all Lenovo laptops.

I had several Macs too and now that i think about it, their touchpad area dont line up with the space bar since.... forever. Instead, they center it by making the touchpad larger, so the edges dont line up with the space bar.

For windows laptop, Asus / MS surfaces also do not have their touchpad / spacebar line up. Gaming laptops are obviously not, because their keyboards need to be bigger to accomodate special keys and sometimes a numpad.

On Android, i usually customize the layout such that the bottom row of the main layout contains no comma or full stop / period. If i want to use those, then i go to the secondary layout.

Preface, nothing against those that do.

Its increasingly difficult to ever do fun things with my current friends. Now that I'm to the point where I have the space and the money and time to do pretty much anything I want, no one else has any time to hang out. I get ignored a lot, which I get, they care about their family more. But I'm the type of person who likes to host stuff and do things.

Not a huge deal to me, I'm fine being alone, but its like, man, its really fun hanging out and playing some IRL video games or just cruising or walking around outdoors etc. I guess nobody really has time as they get old though. Or maybe I need to find a younger crowd 😆 I have no idea.

To put into perspective: South Korea declared Martial Law during the end of 2024 which was short lived as their citizens were awake, not asleep (a similar thing occurred in 1980 that lasted until 1987) so they know what their parents have been through back then not letting it slide in modern times which was met with stiff resistance & protest from Gen Z Koreans.

Their president was impeached after he enacted it as he's abusing his power via blocking legislators by using both law enforcement and the military averting them from entering their national assembly, including him ordering the arrest of both the judges and supreme court justices whilst illegally declaring martial law (all in which violate their constitution).

these are sport and yoga asics leggings with a logo so worn off I peeled it off completely but there is still some visible, white-ish residue, some kind of adhesive I assume.

I found https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Prints-from-Clothes but I don't know if any of those solutions would work to completely remove the residue, plus, I've never done this, so asking for your advice.

As a further elaboration: growing up, I absolutely hated pasta salad. I could not and would not eat it. But one day, when I was about 22-23, I was working somewhere that includes meals, since shifts were literally all day for a week (save eight hours for sleeping). The cook made a pasta salad that I could only describe as "orgasmic." I ate that same pasta salad for every meal for the next two days until they finally tossed the leftovers. Ever since then, I have been "converted" to enjoy pasta salad. That one dish completely changed how my body reacts to a food that I already tried several times.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees

These days, the rivalry isn't always as high-stakes, it's more like the history of the two teams are being used as an excuse for high ticket prices for both respective towns. But, it used to have had a lot of heat going through in the 2000s when players like Derek Jeter and Pedro Martinez were active for both teams.

2004 was the year the Red Sox really stuck it to the Yankees by still being the only team in the MLB post season, to come back from a 0-3 deficit, win the series and eventually sweep the Cardinals for a World Series in 86 years at that time.

And while it was still a great feeling, for the Red Sox to win a few more titles in later years while the Yankees currently is in a 16-year drought for championships. You still have to weigh in the teams as to which team honestly is more successful and is able to make moves the other team can't and even as a Red Sox fan, it still ends up being the Yankees. The Red Sox would need to win more titles than the Yankees to even contest the success rate of the Yankees. The Yankees do appear dominating every other season, including the current one, while the Red Sox either keeps squeaking in the Wild Card series or just outright not making the playoffs.

So what other rivalries, fiction or non-fiction, is still considered a rivalry, but it's so one-sided that it makes you wonder why it is.

Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he's grown.

I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.

Anyone have experience with this?

I've built my own intercom system (speaker & mic), door bell, electric door opening, and camera system with an iOS companion app and integrated all of it in my old door bell system.

Technically, I built my own "Ring" system without Cloud reliance using ESP-IDF SDK, a few MCU boards (XIAO ESP32-S3s and one C6), some capacitors and resistors, and push buttons + Tailscale setup. (Total project length: 3-4 months)

Out of boredom I also built a Bluetooth Mic Bug with a 200mah battery with a Nordic Semiconductor MCU (nRF54).

That being said, my own "Ring" system is the stuff I'd say is really useful to me, while I'd consider the Bluetooth Bug as an experiment, because I just wanted to test nRF Connect SDK.

I'd like to build more useful things, what would you build? I'm open to anything useful, bonus if it's totally insane

Currently down about 120lbs after 8 years of going up and down. Net loss is 200lbs, given I had some regains over the years. Now, I'm down from 300lbs to 178lbs and ever since I passed 185lbs, I've had a lot more oppurtunities with women.

It feels weird, not gonna lie, it just sorta happened out of nowhere. A lot more women smile at me, talk to me, and look at me more. The attention I started getting just feels like a glimpse really. Not massive amounts, but noticably more. I'm still 10lbs away from being done entirely, as I do still look a bit husky at 178lbs.

Though, it's not just women, but people in general have been treating me better, even strangers. I will finally reach normal weight for the first time ever in the next couple weeks (173lbs according to my BMI) and I can't be more excited to finally see it!

For those who lost weight, what was it like for you? Did people start treating you differently?

I want to learn some card tricks. Maybe someone else does too.

This includes, for example, food, water, medication in the presence of a mental disorder or something delicious to cheer up, such as sweets or alcohol. I don't know if it's possible to put alcohol in the category of goodies, well, okay, I hope you understand what I mean.

So want a new desk chair, but the thing is I was thinking making one. My idea is to buy desk chair parts and put them together.
Anyone has done it? Was it successful? Any tips?

To kick things off: morning tennis in a bikini, followed by some time in the pool. I’m having a blast with my summer fling at his place in the south of France.

I want my synthetic leggings to remain as elastic and stable as possible. I use leggings for both social occasions and yoga, running and sport.

I've never done this and wonder if it works.

Alternatively, what works for you?

Yesterday I got sprayed with garter snake musk and I need to feel better about myself

The kind of thing which makes you say “how could they possibly have thought this was a good idea?”

I'm getting annoyed with people that ask a question, have the community answer their question and troubleshoot over several days, only to delete their post and the solution.

The person asking the question is often providing the least amount of effort, so why should they have exclusive right to delete the contributions of others?

Possible fix: have a per-community option to only request deletion.

A question for people whose jobs or general lifestyle leads you to move around from place to place. What are some places you find yourself looking for first? And by that I mean, when I move I always ask myself:

• Where's my Taco bell (I'm American yes)
• Where's my Walmart (Still definitely American)
• Where's my job What are some of the first places you always find yourself looking for in a new area first?

I don't need actual names. But the context by which you know them should be included. This must be someone you have met or see regularly. Celebs/political people you dont like are not on the table, unless you've met and spent time with them.

Could be big picture, like a life goal. Could be what you want right this moment. What do you yearn for?
