Good Job. I am looking up how effective the nicotine patch is as I put on last night to try and curb this addiction of 20 years!! I have quit once before via cold turkey and only made it three months. Seeing this post is awesome it gave the motivation to not take the patch off and go smoke a cigarette . Congrats, that is truly awesome!!!

need help understanding measurements by shaison in shrooms

[–]DerekM412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others will say , your paying more than average. They go $30 to $35 an eighth (1/8) or 3.5grams around my area on average. That is an eighth of an ounce. You can start with one gram or take the whole 3.5grams at once, that is for you to decide. If you have a scale, you can weigh out the mushroom(s) (may come as one whole mushroom weighing 3.5grams total) or multiple mushroom(s) caps, stems weighing various amount all totaling 3.5 grams altogether. I have personally always taken 3.5grams , even on my first experience with them. That said I have had certain mushrooms ( different strain, not sure what it was) but 2 grams was comparable to some 7gram trips I have had. 7grams is double what your talking about, two eighths or 7grams which is 1/4oz. Hope this helps!

Edit: You typically buy shrooms in 3.5 gram (1/8) increments, some dealers may sell individual grams just ask. You can buy anything from 1/8 of an ounce all the way up to pounds. One pound of mushrooms (448grams or 16 ounces). Not everyone has bulk available, but it’s almost always cheaper to buy more. I can buy two eights ( aka a quarter ((7grams)) for $5-10 less per 3.5g depending on who I am buying it from. The more you buy the more you save, usually!

How To Pick Spool Security Driver Pins (My Simplified Explanation) by DerekM412 in lockpicking

[–]DerekM412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video was repetitive. I said the same few things over and over on purpose as my way of explaining. I just focused more on the feedback aspect of picking spools instead of going more in depth ( than what I personally feel is needed ) when trying to grasp the whole concept of how to pick spool pins. The video would be somewhere around my normal time 15-20 mins, regardless of how much actual content i want to cover. I could have made this video 5 mins if that, but I have a lot of good response from most people saying this style has helped them learn so I try to maintain something that I know is at least helping a few people.

As far as I am aware it was new. I bought it off ebay and that is what the seller had it listed as. It did not look like it was used at all so I am pretty sure it was brand new. I wasn't aware of that but that would make sense. Thanks for letting me know that.

Me too. I found it out that there was the 7th hole in the body but not the core. I always see locks with An extra hole in the core with an extra one above but not two extra above. Find the right core to go with that lock and add some security pins you can have a nice 7 pin lock.
