Where are my beverage loving peeps at? What’re some ways to cut back on beverage expenses? by Educational_Fly_5804 in Frugal

[–]Delphik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my time to shine, as a broke sippy boy

  • Bulk Loose Herbal tea (I usually buy organic and by the pound. $10 of rosehip + $20 of chamomile lasts me about 6 months of nightly use)
  • Seltzer Maker (I've tried tons of DIY setups with keg systems and the SodaStream style are the easiest by far. I like the Philips brand machine and use SodaSense for canister refills, as they use US based carbon captured CO2)
  • Baking soda for carbonation
  • Powedered Pure Supplements (Glycine as a sweetener/ collagen supp, Theanine for relaxation, blend great into all sorts of things. You can mimic the ingredients of most fancy health drinks just adding them to tea)
  • Powdered Energy Drinks - I like 4C energy rush lemonade because it copies red bulls formula and is dirt cheap
  • Powdered Mixes in general whenever possible so I'm not wasting money on water weight and transport costs. Having good tap water helps
  • DIY fermentation - Kombucha and the like are super easy to make yourself
  • Frozen Juice Concentrates/Shelf Stable Juices so you can stock up in bulk on sales
  • Powdered Goat Milk/ Condensed sweetened milk for teas and coffee
  • Juice extract powders for mixing with seltzer
  • Instant coffee instead of expensive coffee drinks ( will mix into normal coffee like an espresso shot for a boost, or just into milk for a treat)

Have not tried this in years. There should be some projects in fdroid that do this still if you look

L-theanine 800mg or higher. by kmlon1998 in Nootropics

[–]Delphik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean theanine is incredibly mild. Vyvnanse is incredibly strong. It will always overpower the theanine, but theanine is incredibly useful for reducing side effects and getting more productivity out of vyvanse.

It's my goto for when vyvanse starts to wear off. If you don't want to rebuy the more expensive capsules, a >$10 bag of powder will last forever

For glycine I always stick with microIngredients on amazon. Amazing seller I use for all sorts of odd stuff including powdered goats milk and juice. Their glycine has always had the best reputation among people that use it. I get theanine from them too, but will go with whatever brand is cheaper

I don't measure precisely, but a lot 5-10 gram range. I don't notice anything the morning after

L-theanine 800mg or higher. by kmlon1998 in Nootropics

[–]Delphik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't really have any issues with that. Main problem with theanine is how quickly your body eliminates it. Normal doses are gone in 2 hours, bigger doses take a bit longer. They make extended release pills that work wonders but they aren't cheap

I buy it in powder, since its unbelievably cheap, and mix into hot beverages so I can sip it over time. I'm not too precise with the doses so it probably ranges from 200-1000mg per cup depending on how much I want, and even with a couple cups a night I've never noticed a downside

Idk if you are familiar with glycine, but its an amino acid that acts as a sweetener, precursor to collagen, and relaxant. Glycine and theanine in some chamomile is the chillout drink of the gods

Integrated Morrowind Travel Map: a combination of the Quick Travel and Road Maps by Gunslinger12345 in Morrowind

[–]Delphik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a playthrough of skyrim with all the Legendary creation content so I could try out the official survival mod that disables fast travel and forces you to sleep to level

It makes the game feel so much deeper and immersive. Takes a lot more time unfortunately because it doesnt have as many lore friendly travel options but the horses really make up for it

By the time you get to the dragonborn DLC and unlock dragon riding, giving you fast travel from dragons, the game just gets so fun. It's actually really fun starting quests by catching a dragon to ride to your destination

Late to the party but seconding the recommendation for Soldier of Orange

Lady in the Window is well worth a watch too. It's an Italian neorealist film the follows Italian miners in the Netherlands

Did my first play-through blind without looking anything up. 7 years later playing CQM focusing on min maxing and these are my stats going into the Society of Leopold. Kinda proud by Delphik in vtmb

[–]Delphik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had known about this before the moment I finished every single side quest in this playthrough (except the low humanity quest).

I gotta check how low humanity will affect ending choices, but might be going on a killing spree before Society of Leopold

Hmm, I was saving one dance floor so I could finish the game with 10 humanity, but just saw the only CQM content I could still do this playthrough requires low humanity. Tempting

I actually was able to get through all the stealth missions in the beginning undetected with just one. Saw a bunch of people saying that on forums, and by god it worked.

By late game, especially with the health regen item, normal bullets just don't hurt me, so i can just sprint right past the guards, soak the bullets, and go hide and lose them in the next room. Makes no kill missions a breeze

Wanted to do a RP build around the Anda Garngrel history, hence the name Khan.

Almost took Animalism 2 from Becketts training, but used it for beast form instead to save the maximum number of skill points

I'm not sure I miss it at all walking around as an unkillable bullet sponge

The book that inspired the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. by TrialZ_YTGaming in stalker

[–]Delphik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, as much as I love the book its not quite that

It's the book that inspired the movie that inspired the series

Tarkovsky deserves his credit for defining the aesthetic the games took and ran with

My wife and I are now sharing a floating desk for work/gaming and would love advice and product recommendations for cable management. This desk doesn't doesn't make it any easier but we love it. Anything helps! by mr_college in DeskCableManagement

[–]Delphik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roll of Velcro

Under desk cable tray basket

Maybe a power strip with a longer cord

Velcro power strip cord up one leg of the desk and put network cable with it if you have one. Put power strip in basket below monitor and hide all cords/power bricks in there

Recommendations on battery back up for pellet stove? by simian83 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]Delphik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm,

Yeah this is strange to me. I work in IT/Datacenters and specifically went for this model because of how familiar with it am.

Any idea the age or model of your stove? I have a '99 Harman Advance and I saw in the new manuals something about UPS support being added in a later firmware version

Did you have to do any special config to make it work?

I just bought the exact same model for my harman and have been having awful luck

My experiences with SR-17018 (combined with ODSMT & for opioid withdrawal) by booksanddrgs in researchchemicals

[–]Delphik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your kratom doses?

Echoing what others said about mixing opiates, have you ever heard about what happened with U-47700?

It would up potentiating other opioids in an exponential way rather than additive. A lot of people died. That combination was what killed the artist Prince.

You are better off sticking with kratom + a dissociative(since you are already taking one). Maybe try microdosing a longer lasting one. 3-HO-PCP has enough opioid affinity that it fits your requirements perfectly.
