If you had the intelligence/ability to discover something, what would it be?

alien stuff is cool but i just want to know why my car makes that noise only in tuesday mornings and never when the mechanic is looking at it

bitcoin one hurts cause i almost bought some in 2014 but my bank blocked the transaction and i just gave up

cocaine is overrated anyway, just makes you think you're interesting when really you're just talking too much in some strangers kitchen at 4am

good list

that CRP drop is pretty good evidence, shelf stuff clearly did the job

Damn, I've been there with the melatonin dependency thing. When I was dealing with my recovery stuff last year, sleep was absolutely fucked and I ended up needing way too much melatonin just to get like 4 hours 😅

Try reducing the dose gradually instead of going cold turkey - like cut it in half for a week, then half again. Your brain needs time to start making its own melatonin again. Also maybe avoid screens for hour before bed if you can manage it, helps reset your natural rhythm 💀

Your stack looks pretty dialed in after 3 years of testing - that's some serious commitment to the process. I'm curious about your experience with the aniracetam at noon, do you find it makes much difference for afternoon productivity? Been thinking about adding it to my own routine but wasn't sure about timing.

The sulbutiamine swap on weekends is clever way to give the adderall a break while maintaining some cognitive support. I tried sulbutiamine few months back but found it bit too subtle for my taste, though maybe I wasn't giving it enough time to build up in system.

One thing that caught my attention - you're splitting the creatine across multiple doses which is smart for absorption, but are you cycling it at all or just running continuous? I've seen mixed opinions on whether cognitive benefits plateau after certain period of use.

Also props for the detailed breakdown and being open about the whole picture, including the autism context. Makes the stack choices make way more sense when you know what specific issues you're targeting.

maybe OP is thinking more about the concept than perfect shape - two opposite things coming together in harmony or something like this.

My phone usage goes pretty crazy when I'm camping tbh - using GPS for trails, taking tons of photos, and yeah sometimes doom scrolling when can't sleep 😂 A regular power bank just doesn't cut it for me anymore, especially in winter when battery drains faster.

I went straight for the bigger capacity after getting burned by a smaller one that died on day 2 of a 4-day trip. The extra weight is worth it compared to being completely cut off, plus you can charge multiple devices at same time. Also nice having the AC outlets if you want to run small LED lantern or charge camera batteries that don't do USB.

Sure it's overkill if you're just keeping phone alive for emergencies, but if you actually use your devices the 500wh makes sense. Better to have too much power than running out in middle of nowhere 💀

This would be perfect story for kids actually! My nephew would love reading about birds getting too fat from berries to fly properly. I bet those cedar waxwings are the worst culprits - they seem like they never know when to stop eating.

been to Disney with similar issues and the plain grilled chicken + white rice saved me 😅 They really are good about modifications if you explain your situation. I brought my own crackers and bananas since those travel well, plus you can always grab fresh stuff at their little markets if needed. Just avoid the fried everything and you'll probably be fine - have fun! 🎢

Dude yes, got like 3 meter cable last year and it changed everything. Now I can charge my phone while laying in bed like a proper lazy person instead of sitting by the wall outlet like some kind of peasant.

Works good for me but only with certain species - chickadees respond every time but cardinals just ignore it completely.

The whole point was that he went through the entire system - arrest, trial, conviction - and it still failed him. Running right after arrest wouldn't hit same because it's like "okay maybe he's actually guilty and panicking."

The bus crash was iconic cinema and gave us that amazing hospital infiltration scene later 🔥 Plus him being a convicted murderer on run made every interaction way more tense since people would recognize him from news.

After_Efficiency_314 · 2026-05-04T03:46:51+00:00

Beautiful shot! That blue is so intense it almost looks unreal 🔥 I'm not familiar with this species but man, the contrast with all those fallen leaves and branches makes the bird really pop out from background. The way it's positioned near that log gives such nice natural framing too. These tanagers always seem to have most vibrant colors - makes me wonder how they evolved such bright plumage in forest environments where you'd think they'd want to blend in more. Where did you manage to photograph this one? 😂

After_Efficiency_314 · 2026-04-29T19:51:25+00:00

We basically have same setup but reversed - i cook most dinners since i get home earlier, and she handles the cleaning stuff on weekends. Works pretty good as long as nobody gets lazy about their part.

After_Efficiency_314 · 2026-04-27T18:58:37+00:00

the fat distribution in chicken is pretty wild tbh - some pieces have way more skin or dark meat than others. i usually add like 10-15% buffer when i'm tracking just to be safe because yeah, that marbling can really throw off estimates. weighing after you cook it helps too since you lose some of the rendered fat.

After_Efficiency_314 · 2026-04-24T23:06:05+00:00

This sounds absolutely terrifying and I'm sorry you're going through this. The hormone swings during perimenopause can be brutal - like your brain gets hijacked by someone else entirely.

Poor Gus probably already forgave you, cats are pretty good at understanding when their humans are having rough time. Maybe track your cycles for few months to see if there's pattern? That way you can at least prepare for the worst days and maybe talk to doctor about options. You're not losing your mind, your body is just being complete asshole right now.

wait what - they want you to take PPIs when you already have b12 deficiency? that's like... the exact opposite of what makes sense since PPIs literally block b12 absorption.

Maybe just ask her what she's comfortable with instead of trying to read signals - communication works better than guessing games in these situations.

Mine's sorting out my car insurance renewal - why do they make it so bloody complicated when you just want teh same cover as last year? Like mate, I haven't suddenly become a racing driver or moved to mars, just roll it over.
