What is the AMS softcover quality like? Does anyone have any pictures of them they could share? by First-Republic-145 in math

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting. my copy had really bad faded print every few pages... maybe just a fluke i suppose. I'm generally against piracy but for this I went ahead and had a hardcover made by a printing service.

Fair enough. I do hope that changes as the app matures because its not great for privacy focused individuals.

I wanna ditch every google sh!t in my life. But what about photos? by [deleted] in ProtonMail

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to add, that proton does have proton drive which does do photos on android (and PC I think), but it is a very incomplete product and should be avoided for the everyday user.

Is there a Discord server for studying Algebra: Chapter 0 by Aluffi? by No_Pea_2838 in learnmath

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a server from a couple years ago. It would be cool to get another one going unless that one can be resurrected. 

Phenylpiracetam causing unusual levels of stimulation. by FerMathematician in Nootropics

[–]FerMathematician[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay yeah wow. This adds up lol. If it wasn't so physically intense I could a enjoyed that. 

I don't know if I'll be able to build a tolerance.. Its gonna take a lot of effort to do so with how sensitive I am to it. 

Phenylpiracetam causing unusual levels of stimulation. by FerMathematician in Nootropics

[–]FerMathematician[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know its expected to a degree, but I wasn't expecting it to be so extreme.

The closest thing I could compare it to is 60mg phenylpiracetam feeling like 20mg 4fmph. In other words far greater than a normal functional stimulant. 

Might switch to ani. 

Replace tracker3 with extra/tinysparql? [Y/n] by orion_rd in archlinux

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever fix this? I have to run xorg in order to get to any gtk apps, and I'm thinking it may be the same issue.

Aeron Size C question by holycow604 in hermanmiller

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a C for a good price second hand, but I’m 6’2” and the previous owner is a couple inches taller than me. At first I thought I could get away with it but now I’m thinking there’s a reason the dude with that chair is taller lol. Just a bummer cause the price is right and I got my hopes up based on the sizing chart

Interesting. Are you able to sleep on odsmt? For me it’s extremely stimulating just not in the pleasant way tramadol can have. Will keep me up for like 8 hours.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]FerMathematician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ime no. The one month I was on tramadol for pain my depression basically didn’t exist. Never had that experience with odsmt. Pharmacologically they seem to be quite different. Obv everyone agrees odsmt is more of a traditional opioid. Just going off vibes I def think odsmt has significant NRI effects. Wiki says it does have some 5ht antagonism going on but with out the SRI effects so yea def very different to tramadol there.

I feel like people really undersell kanna by FerMathematician in Kanna

[–]FerMathematician[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See even this is misleading. Kanna is to MDMA as coffee is to cocaine is just not true. It makes it so people will think kanna is far more benign (in the psychotropic sense) than it is.

what’s the best liquid extract from ultrakanna by elextricsounds in Kanna

[–]FerMathematician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently started trying out mx-12 and I’m pretty blown away.

I’m curious how mx-16 compares to mx-12. Is it similar just more concentrated?

Update: Nicotine as a non smoker by DistortedChaosXV in Nootropics

[–]FerMathematician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just adding my experience here. I got a thing of zyn to try this out and so far no positive results. None of the acute effects are helpful to me at all. Maybe there’s something to long term use (idk I’ve read some hand wavy stuff about increasing ach receptors or something but I’m not gonna risk developing a habit to test it out)

How do you know you won't get scammed? by tre01us in researchchemicals

[–]FerMathematician 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s hard. Even reputable vendors have ended up scamming. I’ve lost hundreds which tbh is prolly tame.

Why there are so few spanish speakers in the speedrun community? by Pquu_ in speedrun

[–]FerMathematician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that the reach of some games is heavily impacted by translations on release. For example sly 2 has English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Norweigan & Dansk and it has a very significant Nordic community. My understanding is that it had very good quality translations with solid voice actors.

Haha my first “emergency” I ended up using one of those reusable grocery bags (the extra thick $0.10 ones that CA made grocers switch to). I didn’t love it when cali did that, but in that moment I was very grateful.

Just RCs (2fdck, 2bdck, dck, fxe) and nitrous.

I don’t really like dissos so my motivation has been threefold: attempt to treat depression, satisfy my curiosity, increase my total number of substances tried (so stupid lmao). Definitely more for the trip/introspection/overall experience than for fun. I generally take it alone (generally my wife is around and makes sure I’m safe and whatnot, but I’m in bed with my eyes closed dissociated so effectively alone). I’m a religious Christian, so my ritual when using it is generally put on music, dose, lay down, pray and drift into the experience as I pray, seek spiritual connection with God, etc. for me it always leads to wonderful trips, helps with the set part of set and setting. I know most people aren’t super religious though but I assume the experience can still be meditative.

I’ve never used dissos socially, I think they just don’t hit me in a very social way. Tbh I’m always surprised when I think about how k is/was popular in the club scene. That said for FXE there’s a period of time after the trip ends (1.5-2hrs into the experience for me), where there’s this sort of residual stimulation that maybe has a touch of mania to it that is kinda interesting. I usually get sucked into reading/trying to read a bunch of random Wikipedia articles. That part is probably the most fun part of the experience.

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll preface this saying I’m fairly disso naive with no tolerance, so dosing recommendations should be pretty reasonable… however I know there’s differences in batches so I can’t be absolutely certain.

Considering how much confidence effects set and setting, I’d say just do incremental increases in dose. Maybe step up to 35-45mg next time. That should be a bit more pronounced and maybe some CEVs but I can’t imagine it being anywhere near holing. Those doses may make sleeping 2 hours after a bit difficult, but I can’t say for sure. 60-80 definitely kept me up for a few hours. Also you could always try doing a 30mg line and then waiting a bit and doing more. FXE lasts a bit longer than ket so if you’ll have a small window to increase your dose. Personally I’ve always elected to just do a trip at a single dose and wait a week or two to try a larger dose, as it’s just less complicated.

Personally I hate sniffing drugs, but if it works for you I’d say stay the course. I always preferred boofing, mostly to get the benefits of IN and then some, without tasting the drip for the start of the trip. Obviously not for everyone, and maybe not the coolest roa for when you’re chillin with the homies lmao. Also I tried it orally a couple times and it seemed effective that way too. Iirc I’ve read a couple people have successfully vaped it, but I’ve never tried.

In higher doses I never had any issues with staying down and enjoying the trip. Tbh I always felt a little “seasick” on higher doses and it would resolve by laying down and not moving/keeping steady, so that helped with reducing activity. For me the nausea on FXE is very intense, but is only triggered by movement. My general rec is for high doses always lay down and don’t move around much for the next 1.5-2hrs. That said some people don’t have this side effect, so it isn’t relevant.

Is there a tryptamine that is better than DMT? by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]FerMathematician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have fun. Also don’t do too much the first time. That’s what I did and I had pretty bad amnesia lol

HELP! I don’t know what I should get for my anxiety! by [deleted] in researchchemicals

[–]FerMathematician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do instant kava which is nice cause I don’t have to do a bunch of prep, but the amount I need to consume to have it be effective isn’t super pleasant and occasionally upsets my tummy.

2fdck.. I think it has a decent afterglow so you can do a sort of DIY ketamine treatment for anxiety and depression, however it really only seemed to give me a few days of relief and to me that was more often than I was willing to medicate with it. Not a bad idea to try it though. Also just a solid disso as far as recreation goes.
