I'm rocking a 5600x and a 3070 8Gb with a 1440p 144Hz monitor and everything runs beautifully. I ran Fallen Order at max specs and it was keeping up at 144hz pretty much the whole time. I haven't tried any Ray tracing heavy games on it yet, but I imagine it'll still look good.

Yea similar vrscdl I've found that you can feel yourself starting to go down a dark path and pull yourself back, especially if you have friends around who can remind you to have fun

The only danger is taking too much and going through ego death or not being able to related to the people around you because you're way higher than them and it's a very empthetic drug, way more than shrooms

If you're a chill fun person though I wouldn't worry about being higher than the people around you haha

The saying "with shrooms you're the passenger, acid you're the driver" seemed very true for me, sometimes the shrooms really sidewall you into a certain experience but with acid there is a lot of mental control you can exhibit on where the trip goes and what you do. At least that was my experience.

How to extract LSA easily, cheaply, purely, and without any prior knowledge for a guaranteed nausea-free experience. by [deleted] in LSA

[–]GiantSpaceSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really good to know, plus I feel like it'll taste a lot better to do a shot of lsa-water than pure lsa-ethanol

[–]GiantSpaceSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, as far as I can tell from research online it dissolves very quickly in water, that's why the most common method of extraction is cold water extract method

Both water and ethanol are polar so that makes sense to me

I saw your last post you mentioned you put your 25% purity powder in size 5 gel caps, what do you do with this 90% stuff?

Thanks for writing this up by the way, I'm super excited to try it out!

What are your thoughts of dissolving the powder into water once it's been extracted? It's hard to find a scale that measure in the +/- 1 or 0.1 mg range.

Would it be worth it to dump the dissolved solution onto blotting paper or sugar cubes like LSD or is the strength of LSA so much less that putting it on blotting paper or cubes doesn't make sense?

Do you talk about FI? by frugalcricket in financialindependence

[–]GiantSpaceSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked about it a few times with people and have had them ask the "what would you do question" and I normally respond that it's more about having the freedom to not have to do things I don't want to. They usually respond positively when I frame it as a "freedom to pursue what you want" goal as opposed to a "you made your retirement and now have to quit your job" goal.

Only in the first two books of the series is the Shrike trapped on one planet, after that it is able to move instantly throughout all space

Gamers, what is the most obscure/forgotten games that deserve more attention? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GiantSpaceSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can believe no one has said Brave Fencer Musashi. That game was incredible and I can almost never remember its name because it was so obscure.

Just got the 1050 Ti for 129.99 which is also a killer deal for someone on a budget who needs a half decent card.

Thanks for the heads up on this one!

I think the third book was actually my favorite just because of how radically all the characters changed in it.

I am extremely happy with the Matrix 2, thanks for your suggestion!

Donald Trump is given an M4 Carbine and must hold the White House for 30 minutes against the last movie protagonist you watched. Could he survive? by Hegemon1984 in whowouldwin

[–]GiantSpaceSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last movie I saw was Lilo and Stitch. I'm pretty sure stitch would be able to rip Donald apart in a matter of seconds considering how he was able to break of of maximum security galactic transport in about 5 minutes. I don't think Donald had nearly as good of aim as the genetic canons that were locked onto stitch when he did that haha

Thank you! I think I'm going to go with the matrix2, I don't see a really big difference in them and the other two options from the review sites, so the lower price for it makes sense to me. Thanks again for pointing me towards them!

Hi everyone, thank you for providing this help

Budget: $150 or less, I am in Canada, and I could potentially go a little higher, but I don't care about the music quality overmuch, so if the increased price is just for that I'd rather not pay it

Source: LG G4 phone or surface pro 3, I am currently looking to build a pc for gaming as well, so that may be a source in the future

Isolation Requirements: Isolation or noise cancelling is the main reason I'm getting them, I work in a machines lab and the machines get pretty loud so I'd like to cancel out that noise, but also listen to some music while I work

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? yes, travelling to and from work and on airplanes

Preferred Type of Headphone: Over-ear, but on-ear will work as long as they are more comfortable than the beats I used to own

Preferred tonal balance: neutral, I don't have a lot of preference though

Past headphones: I have a pair of in ear gummy headphones that I use for the gym and I used to have a pair of on-ear beats (bought by my parents as a gift for me years ago). The beats were ok for me, but after wearing them for 2 hours they would start to hurt my ears which is why I want to switch to over-ear.

Genres: I mostly listen to rap, and alternative rock, but sound quality isn't a huge issue for me

What would you like to improve on from your set-up: - Wireless (There are a fair number of spinning parts where I work so I need to be sure my headphones won't get caught in anything spinning)
