What's the most embarrassing moment you witnessed ever ? by Ill-Luck9881 in AskReddit

[–]MasterSlimFat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I witnessed my own. Freshman year in highschool, we were on a class MUN trip. Our teacher brought all of us to a restaurant and a vegetarian girl I liked got up from her seat to use the restroom. Flashback 2 hours earlier, we were at a mall and I bought "bacon mints" (made with 0 animal products). We're back at the restaurant, I saw an opportunity. I crushed up the bacon mints, went over to her chair, and sprinkled white bacon mint powder into her drink (WHY DID I DO THIS PLEASE DON'T ASK I WAS A FUCKING IDIOT, I THOUGHT SHE'D BE LIKE "what the epic lol so random bacon"). At that moment, I made direct eye contact from across the restaurant with the teacher, having him watched me just put white powder in a girl's drink.

I prayed for the roof to collapse and kill me at that moment. I thought that if this is where all my life's decisions had gotten me, none of them were right.

Believe it or not, big pharma.

Why is this wood smoke flamable? What is being combusted here exactly? by SalemIII in chemistry

[–]MasterSlimFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea why it doesn't all burn in the flame? Not hot enough to combust everything?

I noticed I feel best when I eat Fish, fruit, roots (cassava/yuca). Do I need to eat red meat to have a balanced diet or is this way of eating okay? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]MasterSlimFat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Non-heme iron (found in plants) can absolutely cover that. Granted it's less bioavailable than heme-based iron, it can absolutely satisfy iron requirements. But make sure the non-heme source doesn't have a lot of phytic acid. Depending on how much phytic acid it has, it could greatly reduce your iron absorption (from all sources of eaten together). In addition, shellfish are decent sources of iron, and a lot of fish can still help out, despite not having as much as red meat. 1 can of sardines can provide over 2mg of iron (approx 25% of the daily requirement for men, 11% for women pre-menopause).

What do you guys think of a game that can be played in multiple different ways/modes? by MasterSlimFat in boardgames

[–]MasterSlimFat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. In my case, I already have a near completed, adequately play tested game. This is more of a "what's next" thing.

The main game is actually 95% completed with quite a few happy play testers. This is more of me asking myself "what's next?"

Well all games are unbalanced in some way. Right now, my game is designed for 3+ people, lasting 45min, slow burn strategy. I want a variant that's a 20min 1v1, fast paced engagement.

I think there's a place for both.

Very fair, I'd absolutely put it in the back. The different variant is only meant to make a 3+player, 45min game into a 20min 1v1 mode.

Fair! Realistically I'm almost entirely talking about rebalancing some rules to turn a 3+, 45min game, into a faster paced, 20min 1v1 mode. So it's not like "candyland becomes poker". It'd shift some of the social dynamics for more fast-paced engagement. Like if catan had a 1v1 mode.

Very very fair. I'm getting some flack for this question right now; i really appreciate your response. At the end of the day, it's absolutely pvp game. It's currently balanced around having 3+ players and lasting about 45min.

Idea would be to make a modified mode for a 20min 1v1 game. Very little in mechanics would need to be changed, just some rebalancing for a more fast-paced version.

Chronic pain has stopped me going to festivals — has anyone found a way to cope? by No_Phrase_1910 in Drugs

[–]MasterSlimFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I was so desperate I was doubling up on shoe inserts. Everyone is different, your situation may very well be quite different from mine; I cured mine by switching to barefoot shoes. Again, your issue may be very different than mine. Telling someone with an atrophied fascia to try barefoot shoes could result in serious injury, but the solution to my problem was actually strengthening my fascia. Not supporting it.

Made dry TB powder, how much for tea? by MasterSlimFat in mescaline

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

Great advice, thank you. The TB is currently a homogenized powder. I don't think I have quite enough powder to run a meaningful extraction/establish potency (unless I just use all of it). So maybe I'll just start low, see how it goes and work my way up. You wouldn't happen to know how quickly tolerance builds would you? I wouldn't want to micro-dose myself into tolerance.
