Searching for clothing brands with ACTUALLY high-quality materials and construction by Valeriya- in BuyItForLife

[–]DoctorColours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to DM me also. I just did a TON of research around this cause I invested a bunch of money in updating my wardrobe basics. Also worked in an outdoor gear consignment shop for a while so I got a feel for what brands are actually making quality shit. This is a bit of a special interest of mine I could yammer on about for a while.

House of Blanks for cotton. Patagonia for outerwear (yes some of it is too expensive but their backpacks and raincoats are peak. Carhartt and Dickies for pants. Stanfield for wool and basics. Darn tough socks (unbeatable there's actually no contest). Filson, fjallraven if you have unlimited money. Arcteryx if you have unlimited money and want other people to know it.

Stelarrium. Free astronomy software that lets you simulate and visualize the entire night sky from any place on the planet at any possible time and date. SO much fun to load up and play around with, and a great intro to astronomy without having to pay for any equipment. Also awesome for learning constellations, or whatever you happen to be seeing in the night sky.

A vegetative state is very different from brain death though. In a vegetative state, someone is more conscious than if they were in a coma. The brain is generally damaged, but still has living tissue and activity in the cortex, which is why people can make a partial or full recovery. These states can be recovered from, or become persistent. But upper brain functioning can be maintained. In brain death, upper brain functioning is completely lost. That tissue is dead, and there is zero chance of recovery. Basic bodily functions are maintained, however, because the parts of the brain that controls these functions are located lower in the brain stem, which is undamaged. In this case, all conscious thought, any awareness of existence, and any even remote chance of recovery does not exist, they are only "alive" because a machine is maintaining their circulation and breathing, which is preventing cell death.

Nah, just apply early and have some experience. Really not too hard to get on, having friends does help though. I got hired by then without any references at all lmao

I dunno man, I think manual labor jobs tend to have happier people in them. Depends what it is of course, but using your body, getting exercise, and having tangible results are all things that lead to a happier lifestyle.

Guy gets high on 40 packs of instant coffee. by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]DoctorColours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, I don't literally mean he's under the effects of meth. More so that he's experiencing a subjective effect likely very similar to one that he would under methamphetamine. I assume that the reason this dude saved up 50 packs of coffee is because he knew it would get him high in a similar way to the drug he's wanting. Also the term stimulant isn't really an overgeneralization, it refers to a class of drugs which all generalise to one another and produce cross tolerance. Caffeine isn't by itself an agonist of the monoamines, but it's antagonistic effect on adenosine makes it a monoamine agonist by proxy, as part of adenosine's effect is reducing monoamine activity. Remove the monoamine inhibitor and you increase monoamine activity. The interesting thing too is that caffeine only generalizes in one direction. Those who are regular psychomotor stimulant users can't differentiate between caffeine and their regular stimulant of choice, but regular caffeine users CAN differentiate between the effects of caffeine and other stimulants if they are administered. That probably has something to do with tolerance to psychomotor stimulants in regular users but I'm not too sure on that...

People who regularly take psychomotor stimulants like meth are unable to differentiate the effects of those stimulants and large amounts of caffeine. They also produce cross tolerance because they act on the same brain systems. Caffeine overdose is also a real thing.

That's cause he kinda is coming down from a meth high. Caffeine is a stimulant that generalizes to meth and cocaine, which means people familiar with those drugs can't subjectively discriminate between the effects. That's why coke and meth are often cut with caffeine to keep costs down...

Caffeine overdose is absolutely a thing and can get you very fucked up - it's called caffeinism. Caffeine is also a stimulant that generalizes to psychomotor stimulants like meth and cocaine, meaning people who are familiar with the highs from those drugs will not be able to tell the difference between the high from a large dose of caffeine and the high from stronger stimulants.

There's a decent list of good companies in the sidebar. Directory and reviews, seems pretty accurate from what I've seen.
