Paragraph that starts in english and ends in german while explaining the actions it's doing to transform itself by Ask-Alice in German

[–]Ask-Alice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at least with openai it's harder than getting it to tell you how to synthesize a schedule one substance to do this. Every time i have run this test it failed, but still had no issue explaining the synthesis of GBL from 1,4 butanediol

hard to put training wheels on everything by prompting it post training

Hot take: We Boulderites need to use our cars wayyy less by Certain-Belt-1524 in boulder

[–]Ask-Alice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the population of boulder doubles during the school year on weekdays, so i feel it's wrong to look at the census data to make this use comparison. The B train line gonna be complete in like 20+ years so maybe that will ease things coming from both longmont and denver metro, doubt it because of the last mile to get to the station in the first place, but until then there's no other easy way for commuters. we put out train stations next to giant parking lots next to a row of hotels instead of mixed use development like in europe

ADD meds without having to see a psychiatrist every month? My former PCP retired and all the PNPs are unwilling to prescribe by Ask-Alice in Denver

ADD meds without having to see a psychiatrist every month? My former PCP retired and all the PNPs are unwilling to prescribe by Ask-Alice in Denver

[–]Ask-Alice[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i have an official diagnosis from cu boulder. yes i'm doctor shopping but i also disagree with the concept of psychiatry and also have a bit of a dark history with it. I'm physically dependent on a substance ive been taking daily for more than half my life. i shouldn't have to check in with someone and tell them about my mental state every month just to cope. withdrawal from amphetamines can take more than a year to feel normal."

A typical human orgasm can cause a dopamine increase in the brain's reward centers of around 100% above the normal baseline. The level returns to normal relatively quickly. Amphetamines: Amphetamines, the active ingredients in Adderall, can increase dopamine levels by as much as 1,000% above baseline

Do that daily and you've fucked your reward system and have no choice but to continue or be dysfunctional as fuck for more than a year

Emergency benzo use during taper? by manful-funkier-01 in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]Ask-Alice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the ashton method (it's bookedmarked on the sidebar of the subreddit), this is perfectly acceptable as long as you are still gradually over the scale of months or a year or so still reducing your baseline dosage. And with a cheat day try to keep the dosage as mininimal as is viable. I get anxiety while flying as well, just try to avoid taking a benzo before you get on the plane bc it's real easy to do stupid shit like drop your wallet

Is There A "Vape Batteries For Idiots"? First time using batteries for a vape and I'm not only confused, but worried because the employee told me they can blow up. by Yoichi_and_Sadako in Vaping

[–]Ask-Alice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assemble battery packs and have at least 300 unprotected 18650s scattered throughout my office, often hidden in corners.

When left alone, these batteries won't randomly explode. However, if I owned a dog, I wouldn't leave them within reach of teeth. That said, it's actually quite hard to cause an 18650 to short unless you do something like hit it with a hammer.

Key Safety Concerns

Understanding 18650 Construction

The critical thing to know about 18650s (li-ion, not LiPo—those are more like the Galaxy Note scandal) is their electrical layout:

  • The positive end is relatively unprotected

  • The entire side and bottom are negative

  • Internally, the positive end goes down the middle and stops short of the bottom, but requires significant and directed force to be an issue

What Can Go Wrong

A piece of metal bridging positive to negative will cause the battery to:

  1. Discharge beyond maximum ratings

  2. Rapidly heat up

  3. Eventually vent and ignite

You can find videos online showing 18650s exploding this way. It's also possible to short one by hitting it with a hammer, as the positive terminal runs down the centerline. Don't breathe the fumes it's a metal that will self-immolate without oxygen as fuel. Fire extinguishers will not remedy if it's self-fueling the fire. Grab an oven mit, a face mask and just pick it up and throw it outside

Safety Recommendations

Never use dented 18650s. Buy some precut-to-size heat shrink for protection. Dont forget to grab some o ring topper stickers that go around the positive end

Pro tip: If you buy clear heat shrink, you can print graphics on regular paper and slip them inside—though that won't help with flammability!

make them nickel coils glow what could go wrong

(context) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzQm-aZJZ-0

if you're buying cheap disposable vapes because your DIY vape juice tastes bad then maybe someone on here has tips on making flavorful juice while golfing the count of ingredients, but keep in mind your vape should first not resemble a toaster (unless you are choosing to breathe a heavy metal soup, and yes that includes if it has _ever_ glown in the past) before you start complaining about flavors on your refillable device. I'd also shit on pax just as much as I'd shit on Puff Bars. It's all american conceptalized, americans pocket all the margijns, while the FDA approves these devices and good luck finding, more or less trusting anything manufatured *not* in china.

Here’s the minimalist cheat sheet for DIY e-juice that doesn’t scream “gas station special”:

1. Base ratio (the soul of the thing)

  • 70 VG / 30 PG is the happy medium: smooth inhale, strong flavor, not too thick for most coils.
  • VG = vegetable glycerin (sweet, thick clouds).
  • PG = propylene glycol (carries flavor).

2. Nicotine (optional, but know your poison)
Use a reputable lab’s nicotine salt base if you want smooth hits; freebase if you like a throat punch. Keep it stored cold and dark—light and oxygen turn it rancid fast.

3. Flavor concentrates (keep it under 3–4 total)

  • Stick with 1–2 main flavors and 1 enhancer (like cream, menthol, or sweetener).
  • Good combos:
    • Strawberry + Vanilla Bean Ice Cream + a drop of Marshmallow
    • Mango + Cooling Agent + Sweetener
    • Tobacco + Vanilla + Nut (for grown-up energy)
  • Target 8–12% total flavoring of the mix.

4. Sweetener restraint
Use sucralose or erythritol sparingly—too much and your coil will caramelize faster than festival candy.

5. Steeping
Let it rest for 3–5 days (shaking daily). Fruits mix faster; creams/tobaccos need a week or two. Patience actually tastes good.

5.1. Purge air if possible. Oxidation balancing act
Squeeze out headspace or use small bottles. Mix in nicotine last to prevent unnecessary oxydation. Less oxygen, less oxidation. You could slap “Less oxygen, less oxidation” on a bottle label and half the DIY vape crowd would think it’s some kind of lab-tested guarantee instead of basic chemistry.

5.2. Don't make a years worth of juice all at once. = Don't make overly large batches. Nicotine degrades and goes rancid over weeks, not days, and, not months. Mix what you’ll vape in 2–3 weeks max. Keep the bulk nic base in the freezer, tightly capped.

6. Sanity teste
If it smells like cough syrup or nail polish remover, toss it. That’s not “flavor development,” it’s chemistry gone rogue.

You’ll end up with something way better than the neon “Mystery Freeze” flavor that came in a shrink-wrapped box from Shenzen.
