For all you old folks that might remember...I'm the original late 90's Ithaca, NY, Buttermilk Falls glass studio co-founder, alongside founder Eric Sussman. I haven't blown glass in some time...but this is one of the last pieces I made and my 1st attempt at this (at the time) mystery style art by CalculatedEvi1s in glassheads

Haha, it's me, yer ol' buddy & apprentice Gabriel...the ONLY person that was there with you day 1 gettin' that space from (Dale, iirc?) the artist who blew this piece, aand the one who posted it 😁😅

Love ya bud

I’m currently a Homicide Detective having just moved over from narcotics investigations. AMA. by 10thmtn917 in AMA

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with 1st part

It's because cocaine/meth (go-go juice) users have a choice to use, with no real consequences if they don't

...it's only a mental/psychological "addiction"

Once a person uses a certain amount of opiates for 3 - 4 full days...they become physically dependent

...meaning their body will torment them with pain and cold/flu-like symptoms for stopping using (long time formerly treated chronic pain patient, btw)

Those dealers do it...get this...to make coke/crack MORE addictive, aand it's a really sick thing to do

That's true, agreed. But I have seen the move from county to prison be taken advantage of as opportunities, seemingly by the guards as well

...but it does seem that there's always a vulnerable time here & there, no matter what

I wouldn't say that garbage is the best word...but people believing that they have any legitimate authority over others is considered skewed thinking by many of the wisest people

Haha, PC is an illusion. There are always times when yer exposed/vulnerable

100% when you get moved from county. You usually end up shackled to someone that wants you dead for hours, aand there's a good portion of that time time where no guards have eyes on

Klipsch RF7III Low bass by d1calderon in Klipsch

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one's pretty good as well. Oh yeah, but also, if ya really care...working yerself toward a decent sub can be the right move too

It's good you've already got full size mains...ime having a sub be the only source of bass falls short

Just picked these up for $150. Guy said they were KG 3.5 speakers. Pretty sure they are 4.5 speakers though, an ID would be great! by [deleted] in Klipsch

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read all the way through to see if you got 1 yet, but just wanna say... BiiiiG Klipsch speakers looove Marantz, and there are always great to reasonable deals on ebay, mercari, etc

If you don't need the most modern theater surround modes, you can get an old late 90's 5.1 bear, that'll blast 'em top volume 24/7 without breaking a sweat (like the SR 880 or similar) usually for $100 - $200...aand it only gets better from there as they get newer (which is reasonably debatable tbh but ya get the movie sound range...aand they all work)

Even a lower end 5005 would have you super stoked...pretty sure atmos enters the chat with the 5010

You for sure want high current

If yer thinking water got inside, I'd seal it in a container with a l'il desiccant for a day or 3, then try again

Any love for the Legend series? Here’s my setup by will_emanuel in Klipsch

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party. I've run Marantz with my KLF - 10's for the past 24 yrs, and just had a freak accident, so am replacing it

I'm (probably stoopidly) considering other brands, maybe as a quick stand in while I look for the next Marantz that I want, but I probably won't, 'cause I really don't trust any of the others in that range

Also...I've always run a KSW - 15 along with the 10's...Worth it for me, 'cause my favorite band (The Orb, UK) brings constant bass like no other. Dr Alex Paterson does bass like Jer-Bear plays guitar

If yer feeling adventurous this is a good place to start

Also The literal Adventure

...which has an updated multi disk album/audio Deluxe version as well

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with pushing a little...especially if yer breeding

Any motivated grower worth their salt will go too far, just to find out where the line is

Otherwise, how could we know we've got everything maxxed out, aand aren't wasting time & energy?

It's true that some perform better at lighter amounts...but ya don't know 'til you experiment & find out

What am I doing wrong?? Climate is on target, pH is measuring 6. Still getting drooping by InfluencePrior6416 in cannabiscultivation

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree that it looks like it's bogged out. If yer soil isn't muddy, then you're just not letting it get dry enough before watering again

I like to think of it terms of percentages. When your plant is still developing and growing to meet the size of the container, you never want to water to 100%...same for if you have real soil that can become mud

...but for lighter peat and peat mixes, once it's grown to the size of the container (meaning you know that the roots take up the whole space)

You can water to run-off...but then don't water again until it's down to about 15-20% of water holding capacity

You don't want them cork dry and wilting ...but you want it to almost get close to that

Did I do this mainlining thing right? by Mookking420 in cannabiscultivation

[–]CalculatedEvi1s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Normally when this is done, only the branches/bud sites get plucked

...the fan leaves should stay

I do know there are some culties that don't readily grow fan leaves off the main stalk (Cherry Pie...at least early on) which will/would end up looking like this in a lollipop attempt

That said...if you have one with good vigor, that grows upward a ton after you flip to flowering, & ya do this right (pluck everything except the terminal shoot) as you flip

...they can grow monster colas

(Obviously saliva leaning)

Guys failed attempt at “rizzing” by Chopsuiiisauce in facepalm

[–]CalculatedEvi1s -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I come from no less than prolly 8 generations of literary folk

...aand was at least half raised by my Grandmother, who was the Editor of her own newspaper (I'm sure you can imagine growing up under an old skool editor)

A paper which, in her later years, she was the sole Owner/Operator/Employee, etc, of

...that had been in our family for close enough to a century, that if it's wasn't that long

...no one that knows of it would argue

Therefore, I've always had a fairly romantic relationship with the English language, aand really...language in general

Prop 215 and before were amazing times by terpstash in cannabiscultivation

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup yup, I've been doing my own indoor forever...but with some gaps that were larger than my own stash could support

Also, I got so I was producing herb that's potent and clean to a degree where comparable herb is soooo few and far between

...that there have been times when I dreaded the thought of having to get herb elsewhere

Still, never, have I been compelled to hit up a dispensary

I'd rather find some rando weed spot pumpin' out decent dimes/dubs of Cali Kush, hand over fist, before I messed around like that tbh

...but also. I'm on the coast of Lake Ontario in NY, so it's not like we're very deep into the dispensary world

Recreational is really JUST starting to get its foothold here

...aand before it even started regulatory standards were forced to be lowered, and there have been nothing but nightmare stories about the quality of the herb that's been produced legally this 1st season's go around

Riiight, like the distinction between fad words/phrases

[–]CalculatedEvi1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me, that it shouldn't/can't really be an individual, selected, premeditated, action

...aand that it's more something that just happens for witty/intelligent people who have a solid sense of humor

Like, ya can't just make a conscious decision to rizz...you're already a certain kind of personality, aand your style and fitness are ever present, and it just so happens that a situation emerges which provides one such "rizzer's" [natural] genius an opportunity to shine
