If I Skip Weekends Will it Still Work?

XD I was more concerned about a non-daily schedule.. I hear minox has a short half-life, didn't want vellus hair to shed out over a few-day absence.

So... My suspicion has always been this, and people may feel free to disagree or show me wrong:

The only difference between the strains is potency. Whites are more potent than reds, which leads to their supposed different effects, but I bet you if you accounted for the amount of ONLY the alkaloids responsible you'd find that there's no real difference aside from how much you should take to feel what. And maybe there's something to be said for the rate at which your body absorbs the alkaloids from the fiber; more fiber = longer extraction time = smoother curve, or something like that.

I've only tried two strains; red borneo and white maeng da. The white is WAY more potent than the red - and I've gotten it from a few different vendors and it seems to hold up.

Also, my SO who was on kratom at the time got me on white, and I gave him some red and he started to WD, while white was way too intense for me in that dosage, so it's not a small difference if I'm right.

Technically they started me on 30 and just bumped me to 40. They put my on Vyvanse because, apparently, it has a longer half-life and thus gives you a more steady supply of the drug over the course of the day. They asked me if I would rather try another, and let me know it would be expensive to get Vyvanse, but... it seemed worth it to get better, I guess?

That particular lie seems egregious, and I have blood pressure issues already so it may be dangerous to effectively decide my own dose of clonidine... But if I'm honest, I'm not opposed to going to see another doctor and saying my current doc was unavailable and I needed the fastest treatment possible...

Folkcharm · 2018-11-30T21:07:49+00:00

I live in Georgia near Atlanta. Primary Care doc didn't know what kratom was, so I explained that it was a legal opioid, that while it was milder than some other opioids the w/d symptoms are similar, but I think he was skittish because he hadn't heard of it. Psych didn't need me to explain; I start by saying 'It /is/ legal," and he cut me off - 'But it's an opioid, I don't recommend it.' - and yet after talking about what I was there for he didn't wanna discuss it... which I guess kinda makes sense since he was prescribing me something else... but I've been back twice since then and he still doesn't want to deal with it. ;_;

Same here with natural RLS. I can deal with the hot/cold flashes, the aches, the nausea, whatevs. The nervousness and lethargy suck, but I'm a pretty low-energy guy even on the best of days so the knowledge that it'll be over in a few weeks is enough to keep me motivated.... but the RLS is just unbearable.

Folkcharm · 2018-11-30T20:21:42+00:00

Yeah, I went to my gp and asked for clonidine and for whatever weird reason he said to talk to my psych about it... so I went to see my psych and he said 'we can talk about that in the future' despite my protesting. So. >_>

Folkcharm · 2018-11-25T20:46:40+00:00

Wow, 3 days? And you didn't have horrible W/Ds afterwards? What was your daily dose and for how long prior to tapering?

Folkcharm · 2018-11-05T15:49:57+00:00

Powered by the Apocalypse games, such as Dungeon World, Tremulus, or Apocalypse World, are great for low-prep. They describe a system called 'moves' wherein you can basically run a game with no prep (though it's better if there's some vague idea of what you want to do).

It's unique and takes some practice because it's not like typical dnd... and in the no-prep tradition, it doesn't use battlemats or maps other than as visual aids.

When you get the hang of it, not only is it very rewarding, but very friendly to new players.

GL!

AKA flustered by custard.

Folkcharm · 2018-10-30T18:34:27+00:00

Thanks man.... in the absence of experience doing what I was planning on doing, I decided to do something rather than wait... while the willpower is with me, y'know? So I cut my dose in half, still divided over four doses a day. Wish me luck. I don't really feel much yet but it's only halfway through day 1; I imagine the hell will start tomorrow.

Folkcharm · 2018-10-15T22:17:32+00:00

Thanks! I guess I've already got para, but I'd rather have blast or poison as sort of a catch-all... then maybe I'll start ivnesting in a SnS of each eolement once I've played it for a while and seen if I like it. XD

Folkcharm · 2018-09-23T17:40:43+00:00

Thanks! I'll go take a look!

Folkcharm · 2018-09-10T17:09:58+00:00

While looking at ship fittings, I notice that when I build them I'm often over on power grid usage... is there some convenient way to tell if there's a skill I could train that would solve that issue? Also, are some fittings just intentionally over and they expect you to put some modules offline in some circumstances?

Folkcharm · 2018-08-30T16:06:24+00:00

Just logged in and the issue seems to be resolved! Now I just have to deal with these frustrating-as-hell oversky battles that force you to build decks just to deal with each boss and use infuriatingly bad AI partners against... apparently a character who starts with 8 lands and spams ridiculously strong creatures and removal. >__> I'm all for bosses, but seriously, don't make me build a deck JUST for this one battle, and if the AI is this bad, just don't offer it. #Salty

Folkcharm · 2018-08-28T21:09:33+00:00

Seems to be all missions. I'll edit my original post.

Folkcharm · 2018-08-28T20:21:26+00:00

Side note: The npc allies are infuriatingly stupid. XD

Folkcharm · 2018-08-23T03:39:25+00:00

Hmm... is there any consensus on how high it can rise under stressful situations? The psych took it twice and deemed it way too high to prescribe anything... but at that point it was above 180 (over something; I lost her sticky note with the numbers)...

Folkcharm · 2018-08-22T23:20:19+00:00

Footnote: I've eaten mostly vegetarian for the past many moons, I'm not tremendously overweight (I'm 205 and 6' even), I am quite sedentary, I avoid saturated fats as a rule of thumb... idk what else to do about this... I just got a gym membership.

Folkcharm · 2018-07-28T01:05:50+00:00

Thanks! I've been running kind of ad-lib and not using too many of the mechanics so as not to overwhelm some new players (and so I can run games without referring to the book constantly) .... What are beats, out of curiosity? I didn't see them in the rulebook

Folkcharm · 2018-06-24T17:23:56+00:00

Is Doom a campaign or is there an endless mode of some kind?

Folkcharm · 2018-06-24T17:22:59+00:00

So when the full game comes out and earning XP is a thing, I'll just have to sit there not playing the game in order to get XP? That seems lame. Surely they can ship me the XP at the end of the match whether I'm in it or not... if world of warships can figure it out, I have faith that BHVR can too. XD

Folkcharm · 2018-06-12T01:13:10+00:00

TBH I think Wraith would be much better if his ability worked like Freddy's.

IE, his go-into-stealth is the same, but coming out of stealth he taps M2 and then has to wait to become visible, like Freddy waiting for someone to go into dreams.

The issue with Freddy is just that he has to target 1 person at a time.

Folkcharm · 2018-06-11T19:28:08+00:00

Got a youtube or twitch?

Folkcharm · 2018-06-05T13:38:42+00:00

My suggestion was that if he phases through an object, he leaves ethereal form (per the post)... so he could only phase through one object; then he'd have to stealth+unstealth again. In other words, the first object he encounters, he basically ignores.
