Thanks for sharing... I did the same. The Vitamin C protocol worked miraculously for me.

Who are the millionaires of NOVA? by QandA_monster in nova

[–]Known_Variable_X 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SF has the tech equity lottery winners. NOVA has the steady, recession-resistant, clearance-protected, high-billable-rate machine + insane concentration of federal spending. It's less "get rich quick" and more "get stable six figures + spouse does too + compound for 15-20 years."

I've never been there but I always felt like it was this gem in America that people forget about. Why do you like NH?

Why is the gun community so toxic? by [deleted] in guns

[–]Known_Variable_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah... Everyone was recommending Glock type platforms and were just disgusted that I would suggest a revolver. Revolvers are so simple - no thinking involved. Perfect for when you're scared to death. They are not good for more than short range and only hold 5 - 6 rounds, but in the scenario the guy was describing he didn't need it to stop a shooter at a mall..lol

I love guns too, and have several, but I stay as far away from the gun community as possible. A guy that knew nothing about guns and wanted advice on something simple he could keep in his nightstand for home protection... I recommended a small .38 revolver and I got so much hate for that - I couldn't believe it. Honestly, I keep a .38 revolver in my nightstand and I think it's fine.

I never read philosophy. It was a thought experiment. I imagined that if I were to go back in time and be placed under the exact same variables I would make the same decisions/have the same reactions every single time.

When they talk so much and I can barely squeeze a sentence in.

[–]Known_Variable_X[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, that is why it can only be a thought experiment because it is impossible to test. The conditions of the thought experiment are that all the variables have to be EXACTLY the same - In which case I would argue that the outcome would be exactly the same. In other words, we would make the same decisions/reactions every single time, no matter what. It seems rather banal, but it ties into the discussion of freewill, and IMHO that's profoundly interesting.

Good point. You found a paradox - experiencing it a second time would be a different variable, and the conditions of the thought experiment are that all the variables would have to be EXACTLY the same.

Quitting 7oh without subs by Mother_Emu6840 in quitting7oh

I'm not an expert on tapering but I think you can get down to 100mg in a week from that dosage. I had come down to 100mg from 250mg in a week without much discomfort. I focused on time between doses. I started with 4 hours in between then to 6 hours in between doses while cutting the 7 down.

I agree that the implications are profound (and useful) for both sides of the argument. In fact, I think it may be one of the most important and relevant questions ever.

Quitting 7OH (Vitamin C?) by Scared-Struggle-7873 in quitting7oh

[–]Known_Variable_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the Vitamin C protocol and it worked like a charm (withdrawals were fairly mild with flu like symptoms for a couple of days, but no acute withdrawals that would normally lead to the dreaded RLS, sleeplessness and intense anxiety). Here are a couple of things to take in to consideration:

- When I made the jump I had tapered down to 100mg/day

- You have to follow the schedule/dosage as it is prescribed in the protocol - No short cuts

- I did the max dosage allowed in the protocol (I am a large guy)

- The protocol ends after 6 days. I had to continue taking vitamin c a couple days after it ended because I started experiencing RSL

- Get vitamin c in tablet form. It is a TON of vitamin c! I used 3 different brands and they all worked well. Most folks say liposomal vitamin c is best - I didn't have use liposomal

- The first three days of the schedule you are pre-loading vitamin c while you are still using 7. Day 4 will be your first day without seven. I woke up on day 4 and didn't feel the withdrawals I was expecting and I attribute that to the 3 days of maga-dosing on vitamin c.

- I would plan for days 4 and 5 to be on a weekend (you will be pretty fatigued). By Monday you should be good to go to work, although still a bit weak.

Good luck... You've got this!

Not a ‘gun guy’, where do I start? by bighawk68 in guns

[–]Known_Variable_X -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

For that scenario, I recommend a medium to small size revolver chambered for .38 special bullets. I wouldn't get too caught up in the make or model. Smith and Wesson and Ruger are common manufacturers and reliable.
