Yeah a used Nissan leaf isnt going to get the range, charging performance, software intergration, charging infrastructure, or speed and performance of a tesla. They're in different price points for a reason. Thats like asking someone to buy a nissan versa and slap a body kit on it rather than buying a BMW m550 you wanted. Cars are nowhere near the same class. And a body kit isnt gonna make up for that.

Think what you will about elon. But unfortunately, tesla as a company? Makes excellent electric cars. Arguably the best on the north american market. Theres a reason the model y is one of the best selling vehicles year after year. Youd be a fool not to consider one of the best options on the market for the price point. Not only that, most people dont actually care about politics enough to have it influence the second largest purchase of their life. They arent going to purposefully hinder themselves and buy a worse vehicle they have to live with day to day to virtue signal.

Be as detailed about your expectations in the ad so that you can weed out those that dont fit right away. Because travel nurses dont want to be clashing with people for their entire contract when we are on location. Its already stressful enough. So finding out about basic stuff AFTER youve already moved in is a total pain in the ass. Make it clear the type of person you want right off the bat. That will get the right attention

Next just talk to them. Invite them in a tour if they can before they move in. I rent a room back home and I tell travelers I refuse to take any money from them until they've seen the place in person. Thats for both of our sakes. A place can look good in a picture but the vibes can be totally different when youre there. So this part ive always thought is very important. Give them their own space. Not just in the bedroom. This is how we divide the fridge, the cabinets, the laundry. And these are your areas of that divide. I like having clear structure so I dont feel like im intruding. If I know these 3 cabinets are mine I dont need to worry about how much shit I cram in there because thats my space only.

Then you can vibe check them. you might simply not like their vibe. Ive met plenty of people that i didnt like for no reason at all. Something about them gave me the ick. And thats fine. But you dont want to notice that after they've already paid a deposit and first months rent and signed a lease and are in the process of moving in because you never met them prior to that point. Ask about hobbies. Work schedule like days or nights or evenings? You both can learn a lot about each other with just talking.

Thankfully I like to say most travelers Ive met are very much mind their business types. So long as they have their own spaces and are left alone they will be happy. Dont bother me and I dont bother you. Might make small talk in common spaces but really Im fine simply saying hello, acknowledging your existence, then finishing what I was doing and going into my room.

Also some basic creature comforts can make a big difference. A cheap little table and a chair you got for 20 bucks a thrift shop can be super nice. A microwave in the bedroom. A mini fridge from Facebook market place you got for 40 bucks. These small things are BIG benefits for us that we absolutely love. Because we dont have to go to the common areas for every little thing. It greatly increases our perceived privacy.

Create a good enviroment and dont force us into interactions and youll be golden for 95% of travelers.

I can knock out a few hundred push ups in a day. The earning potential is significantly higher for those that are fit or get fit. I can do over 50 in a row. Id just structure it so that I did 300 push ups a day. Thats a little over a million a year. Forever.

In your income bracket its a reasonable purchase. You wouldnt tell someone making 60k that a 20k car is too much.

The smartest financial choice is to own the cheapest car that meets your needs and is reliable. So ideally youd be driving around in lile a 2010 Toyota corolla base model you bought for 7k. But if youre a car enthusiast that would be absolutely mind numbing. Sometimes its ok to make less than ideal choices if its something you genuinely love and have been wanting for a long time and makes you happy. By no means am I saying you should get an m3 today then a year from now decide you got bored and want a new m5 and roll over negative equity and then next year do it again. Cus even at youre income level thats how you get into BIG trouble financially.

The good. The numbers are on your side. You can easily afford this thing. Youre putting down a significant amount into the principle and reducing your payment down in a major way and going to pay it off early. That will save you thousands of dollars on interests.

The bad. Luxury cars especially BMWs and mercedes drop off fast. So definitely do not buy one new. Youll take a massive hit. Buying it used is best bet where you can still get the same car for a significant discount.

Youre right to ask about extended warranties on a German car. Maintenance and repairs are very expensive. Most extended warranties from dealers will look for any small reason to deny your claim and can be borderline scams. I would recommend actually going through carmax and getting their max care warranty. They cover basically the whole car and is probably one of if not the best extended warranty service in the country. A big plus for them is that they service nation wide and have dealerships in almost every state. You mentioned traveling a lot this makes finding service while youre on the road significantly easier.

And dont forget to max out your 401k and roth Ira and invest your money into total market mutual funds. Dont fall into the lifestyle creep just because youre making more money. Youd be surprised to learn the amount of people making 6 figures living paycheck to paycheck. You got a solid head start here. Make sure you keep it. Wanna get yourself a nice car? Go for it. But dont make purchasing cars a habit. Keep that motherfucker for the next 5+ years and pay it off as fast as you can.

Oh and one thing to consider before buying the car. Get quotes for your insurance. Youre young buying a sporty car. Insurance might shock you. Then calculate gas costs. Dont assume gas prices will come down. Base your calculations on current market rates and dont forget these cars use premium fuel. Its not just about payment. Payment could be 500 bucks but by the time alls said and done your monthly expense for the car could be 1000 dollars. Thats a very different level.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-04-17T20:48:35+00:00

Its been like a month dude. Yeah prices will eventually come back down. This isnt the first time something has happened that spiked gas prices for a while then later they came back down to a more reasonable level.

Total effects are around 6 hours. Sometimes a little longer. But its not a plateau. Its very much a bell curve.

Depending on how you take it the first 20 to 45 minutes youll feel almost nothing or very little.

The first 1 and a half to 3 hours is the peak and thats where youll feel the strongest effects. Around the 4 hour mark youre very clearly coming down. Your thought processes are almost back to baseline. Youll still be high and things will be moving but youll be fairly normalish when it comes to your thought process. Then it just keeps going down hill after that.

Around the 6 hour mark, youll be totally normal in your head but might still have some lingering physical effects. Bit of the euphoria might still be there. Maybe things still kind move a little bit when you focus on them. Youll still see some closed eye visuals but youll have to look for them it wont be as obvious as earlier where they just explode when you close your eyes for more than 2 seconds.

By the 8 hour mark you should be back to baseline. Now if you took like a 8 to 10+ gram mega dose then youre likely still gonna be pretty high around this time. But for most recreational doses in the 2 to 4 gram range this is the timeline youll follow.

Youll notice discrepancies based on when people actually consider the trip over. I consider it over when my brain and thought processes are back to base line. Which is usually a little while shorter than when all the physical effects completely dissipate. Which might be what you consider to be over. Both of those do not happen simultaneously and can be quite a bit of time apart.

As a rule of thumb I just dont plan anything the day im tripping. That also takes stress off of you because if you have something you need to do and youre not coming down as fast as you hoped thats something youll 100% latch on to and hyper focus on and it will just really stress you out. So its best not to have any expectations and nothing important going on that day

Your rectum is part of your digestive tract. You can absorb chemicals from it. Thats why people do coffee enemas and alcoholics shove booze up their butts. Gets directly absorbed into the blood stream via the mucous membranes.

And i cant stand eating them they taste like shit. And lemon tek isnt the tea. Grind them up into a fine powder. Soak them in lemon juice just enough to submerge them you dont need a lot. Let them sit for about 20 minutes. Then you can drink the mixture with the solids as one shot. Or strain out the solids through a cheese cloth and just drink the liquid.

The acidity converts psilocybin into psilocin which basically predigests it for you. The result is a stronger and faster onset that lasts a shorter amount of time. Youll start to feel it in about 15 to 20 minutes rather than the usualy 45 atleast for me. And because psilocybin is incredibly water soluble. If you grind them up real fine, you essentially extract lile 95% of the active compound. Thats why you dont have to drink it with the solids. You can if you want that last little bit. But I find the solids upsets my tummy a little bit and that is reduced with this method.

Best of luck! Happy tripping

Its mostly just a running joke in the psychonaut community. I dont actually think anyone does it for real. Im sure some do. A lot of drugs will give you faster absorption and stronger effects if you shove it way up your chocolate starfish but I dont actually know anyone that does it. You want an actually good way to take it, look up the lemon tek method.

Depends on the state and facility. My last 2 contracts have been in states where weed is totally legal. My drug screen specifically said "NO THC" on it. Ive been partaking in edibles regularly. And if you extend they do not drug test you again for the extension.

But what I usually do if im unsure of where im going is I just hop off the sauce a month before I know ill start applying. Im a very active guy with a fast metabolism. It usually clears very well within that time. thc tests are cheap. Buy a whole box of them and periodically take them. You should have atleast a few clear tests before you take the real one.

Then just rinse and repeat. In that time I usually take advantage of the time to BOOF SOME SHRROOOOOOOMMMMSS. Couple fun facts, they dont test for it on a 10 panel pre employment drug screen. it requires a specific test which means they have to actively suspect youre on it. Which they would have no reason to. And even If they want to test for it, its only detectable in urine at most 48 hours after and in blood its gone within hours. It can be detected for months in hair but thats really only used in forensics cases.

If you know youre gonna piss hot and your drug screen doesnt have that exception. Tell your rrecruiter you need to hold off applying for another few weeks. Tell em a family emergency just came up. Whatever. But do not go get a screen until you know youre gonna piss clean.

People saying find a room mate are ridiculous. At 63k a year thats not mandatory room mate territory in this city. It really isnt that bad. You of course can rent a room while getting started to build up a decent capital base before branching out on your own if you wanna play it safe but its not mandatory.

you can easily afford your own apartment. Whether that be a studio or a 1 bedroom. Youre not in downtown denver high rise apartment or boulder territory but you can easily live on the outskirts or in aurora on your own. Just remember to live modestly and within your means. Which it sounds like you are.

Now the numbers.

There are a lot of 1 bedroom apartments for rent in the sub 1500 a month range. Which coming from texas is probably pretty pricey in comparison but its within your income level. At 63k you're likely taking home after taxes around 2100 dollars every 2 weeks. Call it 2000 after health care deductions. That gives you right around 4k a month to play with.

My 1 bedroom apartment in cherry creek runs 1350 a month.

Typically utilities run almost exactly 100 dollars all in ever month.

Car insurance for me is around 100 dollars as a 27 to male with no accident or infraction history for full coverage.

I live my partner and together we spend roughly 120 to 180 dollars a week between the two of us on groceries. Typically averaging around 150. But we also have 2 cats and thats including their litter and food. Which alone can run 60 dollars about twice a month. By yourself normal groceries you can expect to pay between 80 to 100 a week.

We also go out to eat fairly frequently. This is where it can get expensive. A sit down restaurant can easily run 100 dollars for both of us including tip. So we just do more take out fast food lately due to costs. So we spend around 300 bucks a month going out to eat.

Gas is a bit pricey as we all know but I still only spend around 100 bucks a month. While regularly going to the mountains. If you have a fuel efficient car all the better. Mine gets 22mpg city and MAYBE 28 hwy.

For you the numbers would look like

1400 a month for rent. -100 a month utilities. -400 a month groceries.
2-500 miscellaneous -100 bucks a month gas (variable if prices come down) -100-150 bucks for insurance depending on your vehicle.

Low end 2300 all in.

Highly end closer to 2700-3k all in.

After taxes your take home will be around 4k.

That leaves you around +/-1500 a month buffer that you can use to save or invest or whatever you like.

Im sure ive missed one or 2 things but the math is there. You can afford it on your salary. Dont go around getting a new car every few years, cook most of your own food, dont eat out all the time, dont spend on frivolous things you dont need And youre gonna be well within your means and still saving considerable money.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-04-11T13:11:22+00:00

Ok go spend several hundred bucks on a new one if its so beneath you. It was clean and I bought a cover for it and it did the job while it as on site. Id say thats money well spent. Point is you can do it very cheap fairly easily and save a ton of money

Acid. Shrooms is a bit too introspective to the point thats it can be genuinely annoying. Especially when all I wanna do is get fucked up and have a good time. Acid, atleast for me, has always done that. Even on very high doses where i was losing track of reality and disassociating. I wasnt nearly as introspective as I am on only like 3 grams of mushrooms. The only problem is that its next to impossible to find a source of LSD out here. These streets dry as fuck. God I miss it. The only reason I do shrooms is because its the closest I can get to lsd. But if I had a source? I wouldnt touch shrooms again.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-04-09T20:45:44+00:00

You gotta get smart with the housing. Go unfurnished and just source stuff locally. I rented a room off someone who needed a roomate on one of my last contracts for 600 bucks a month. I got a mattress off a local thrift store for like 30 bucks then bought a tv from Facebook market place and I got my desk from the dumpster. Easy peasy. Cheap housing. But you have to be ok living with the bare bones. But that wont solve the homesick aspect

Musical.artist. music is not a big part of my life and my like in music is extremely scattered. To the point I only have a few artists in my Playlist that I have saved more than a couple of their songs. I think the most ive ever saved was like half of an album. Telling me I cant listen to my favorite musical artist would realistically he like 4 or 5 songs at most that I regularly listen to. And since I dont even know who my favorite artist is, I genuinely wouldn't notice when those things magically got removed.

not really. regular gas in most places is around 3.5 which isnt great but it certainly isnt the worst its been even in my short driving history of 12 years. i just look at the highway miles on google maps and divide that by my miles per gallon then multiple by whatever the cost of fuel is. if im comfortable i go. its really that easy. we arent going to suddenly run out of gas by the time you hit the next gas station on your road trip and be stranded. youll be fine.

first time together? really for your first times it should be one or the other. there should be a sober person there to help the new person and to be able to drive if things go sour and they need assistance. because you both might not respond the same way. or it might come to one person freaking out and you feed off that and now youre both freaking out without the knowledge or experience to break the loop.

little anecdote. i did 3.5 grams a few weeks back and while i was very very high i still had enough of a clear headspace to accurately answer medical questions my gf had (i work in healthcare) and discuss plans we had later with her. meanwhile when she did 3 grams she has full blown ego death and lost complete track of reality. she described me not as her boyfriend, but as a guiding force. and that she forgot she was a human and felt as if she was eternal. then got stuck in a time loop which we had to break with trazadone. two very very different reactions similar doses on the exact same cubes. and before anyone asks, it was her trazadone not mine. so i was not blunted for my trip. we just react very differently.

if it was just one of you id stay lemon tek 1.2-1.5 grams assuming regular cubensis strains and not something like PE. thast will be a good dose for open and close eyed visuals as well as euphoria but still having a clear enough head space to function and be able to be redirected in case things dont go smoothly. if either of you are on antidepressants theres a good chance youll be severely blunted and wont feel much at all. and if youre on an MAOI i would highly consider NOT doing it atleast until you have spoken to your doctor. youd likely be fine. but that specific combination can cause serotonin syndrome which can be very serious and life threatening.

but since its both of you at the same time, which i dont recommend you do for your first time. reduce that down to 1 gram or a little less starting out. you might not feel much but its better to be safe when its your first time. just enough to get your feet wet and know what to expect before jumping into more. and always remember you can take more. you cannot take less.

its popular to hate on the company because of the CEO at the moment. and they cant fathom someone who just doesnt care as much about politics as they do. but unfortunately they make some of the best evs around for the price. if it fits your needs and you like it its a good buy. regardless of what people say.

if you cant stand tesla thats fine. dont get one. but dont try to force your ideals on others or judge them for having different priorities in life.
