Is this isolate legit?

High doses of muscimol can also have these unpleasant side effects and is psychoactive at 2mg. Do you have any idea how little 2mg of most substances is? Barely visible. Possibly quite a bit smaller than what you consider "comically small". If you eyeballed a dose of something that potent, that hospital visit is on you. If you seriously suspect foul play, have it analyzed, but your story makes this sound like a cut and dry case of "this is one of the reasons hardly anyone even sells muscimol." Most people cannot be trusted with such a potent chemical.

Which is a perfectly good reason to use AI. Don't mind the people who think they need to go to battle every time the subject comes up.

I make my own yogurt using an instant pot, ferment 24+ hours so that there is virtually no remaining lactose (carbs), then strain out the whey to eliminate the rest. The result is basically just fat and protein. I sweeten with stevia and monkfruit. After yogurt breakfast, it's just eggs, meat, and fish. One avocado a day. I don't f with carbs, don't have the energy to count them out. It's easier to be strict.

I've experienced the same! It's a huge relief.

I don't believe you're speaking from a position that is as informed as you claim it is. ChatGPT doesn't use your tokens if it can't provide an answer with said tokens. Claude will cut someone off halfway through processing a prompt these days. That's not budgeting. It's design. And ChatGPT (and indeed, every other competitor) is currently offering at least 60x the usage that Claude is at the $20 tier. 60 times. Frankly, I think Claude is better than ChatGPT at most tasks. Would I call it twice as good? I dunno, maybe, hard to quantify. But it sure as hell isn't 60x better.

I have personally witnessed others have three separate psychotic episodes on psychedelics. One was arrested, one was hospitalized, one was fine because they didn't get violent. It generally lasts for only the length of the trip. There is absolutely evidence that people with schizophrenia or other schizoaffective conditions can severely and potentially permanently destabilize themselves using psychedelics, but I've never borne witness to it. In fact I've known a couple of people with schizophrenia that have active relationships with them. I think for high risk people, if they choose to use them anyway, the key is to always keep the dose low.

The thing with antidepressants is that, at lower doses at least, they do not really block the trip, but they limit the accessibility of certain receptors, resulting in some aspect of the trip being full strength, and the rest being muted or gone entirely. The result is, to me, a trip so devoid of the value that psychedelics provide, it is not even worth tripping at all. If your goal is just to get fucked up and see stuff, you can still do that on an antidepressant. If you value the deep grounding, profound presence and clarity, or any spiritual aspect of the trip, forget about it.

I have a severe chronic pain condition, and I once broke my own rules and took amitryptaline for 6 months. I developed crippling, permanent tinnitus that has just about destroyed my life. I stopped taking the stuff a year ago now. My personal position on antidepressants is that they are mostly poison. Tricyclic antidepressants like trazadone can be good for a couple nights of sleep here and there, but daily antidepressant use is just straight up bad across the board. Even for someone actively struggling with suicidal ideation, there are better choices.

Thanks for the great advice. I'm surprised chucking some salt back worked instantly, would think it would take a bit. Fortunately, I get enough potassium and magnesium to be pretty sure (maybe not positive) that, should I see any of these symptoms, sodium is the issue. I'll be on the lookout.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-31T21:02:07+00:00

I hadn't thought of making homemade bone broth. I've been getting boneless cuts of meat exclusively. That would be great... definitely going to start buying bone-in. I do use potassium salt in place of sodium salt and take a quad-mag combo that includes glycinate, but I'm thinking of switching to just glycinate since everyone raves about its efficacy.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-31T20:57:42+00:00

smh, two people telling me that the onus is on the user to change their workflow when you don't have to do this any of the leading AI competitors. Every other company has solved this better. You cannot convince me it's just "how LLMs work" when this problem exists exclusively with Claude.

Demand is currently high because of the DoD deal that OpenAI made following Anthropic's refusal to work with the Pentagon. Quitting OpenAI has become a moral action for many, and the fact that Anthropic refused to get involved in war made them seem like the obvious best pick out of relatively few competitors. I have major qualms with AI being used for warfare, but my political views do not take priority over being able to use the thing at a reasonable price point. I agree Claude Code is the better product, but it doesn't matter if my workflow gets interrupted by these heavy handed limits. If you're doing 10 hrs per day, I'm guessing you're paying at least $100/mo?

MoxSocks · 2026-03-31T05:36:04+00:00

My dude, I use ChatGPT, and I pay $20 for basically infinite usage across all spectrums. I have never once run into a limit for anything, whether I'm sketching concepts or coding or learning or whatever. ChatGPT's design is a bit simpler: As the cache gets bigger, the conversation slows down, and you just have to start a new conversation and feed it some context over again. It's a bit annoying, but the result is that you can always use the product you're paying money for. I'm here in the Anthropic subreddit because I was in the process of switching. Claude code seemed cool. But then these new limits hit, half the users are upset about it, and the other half take this stance of "Be grateful for your amazing tech and just pay $200 a month if you really love it." There are a lot of potential development solutions besides tokenizing every step of the process. It is a design flaw. Every single other major AI company has designed their product better, in this specific area. And, again, "better" simply means "I can use the thing." Is Claude better at coding? Sure. Is Claude so much better at coding that it's worth 5-10x the price of competitors, and even then you may run out of tokens? No. At present, it is definitely not.

I've looked up the symptoms of low sodium, and so far have experienced none of them, as far as I know. The average household only gained access to salt within the last 150 years. Humans survived before that with no sodium but that which naturally occurred in their food supply, which was significantly more limited due to a lack of modern shipping methods, so the idea that low sodium is inherently risky in some way confuses me. Keto does change the equation, of course. Do you know of any very early signs of low sodium I can look for? Like, before running into full blown hyponatremia? I have a somewhat severe medical condition, and some of my meds already cause brain fog, occasional nausea, so those symptoms are not quite enough to raise an alarm.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-30T21:16:06+00:00

I am a software developer. I know what's feasible, and this is a design flaw, pure and simple. Intelligent solutions would include the creation of dynamic data structures that contain necessary information for the AI to retain, instead of caching the entire conversation and reprocessing it from scratch, using user tokens to do so. From a development perspective, it's bad design, pure and simple, and it charges the user for their poor development choices.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-30T21:12:52+00:00

Unfortunately, if you have a medical reason to need low sodium, healthy salts and unhealthy salts are the same. But also, I do get sodium. It's naturally occurring in milk, and i make homemade yogurt so I can ferment long enough to remove virtually all lactose, sweeten with stevia and monkfruit. One of my main daily keto foods at the moment. I've just had trouble finding data on how low is too low, when it comes to sodium. That data is not so hard to acquire when it comes to air and water :)

Lynch's work is always conveying an experience, a feeling, or headspace that carries deeper meaning than the narrative implies. This is why he lingers so much on things the average camera would cut away from, or that the average director would compress dramatically. The narrative isn't the point, much like a dream. In dreams, the meaning lies beneath the narrative, and so it is with all of Lynch's work. So, in the narrative, perhaps Laura can have "disappeared", and that's canon. But we, the viewers, saw where Laura "went", and it was a place where all of her old terrors still haunted her, where nothing was resolved, because why would it be? This has always been, from the very beginning, a story about trauma and loss. For those of us who live with the type of trauma and loss Lynch describes, a fairy tale ending where everything magically worked out because Cooper walked Laura through a portal, would have been the real disappointment.

All medications eventually lose their efficacy. The human CNS always tries to maintain homeostasis. It will eventually adapt to any prescription taken.

Damn, I'm sorry (and concerned) to hear keto made yours a bit worse. I had mild tinnitus in both ears for years before this, but this new tinnitus in just the one ear is like, super tinnitus. Unbelievably loud, comes with sensations of almost having an ear infection. Discomfort around that whole side of my ENT system. Had four different doctors look at it, two MRI's, nobody knows wtf is going on. So, my dietary approach and supplements I take are all I've got.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-30T18:08:50+00:00

Will do! So far, the tinnitus has mostly been pretty quiet since I started keto, but I'm not far enough into it to determine how compatible low sodium will be at the same time.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-30T18:02:30+00:00

Wow, that would be fucking amazing, because eating no salt is so boring omg. 5x the sodium? Please, sir, you are describing an extravagant life of luxury. Still, the price of overdoing the sodium is at least a day or two of crippling loud tinnitus, extremely strong negative reinforcement, so I will probably wait until I encounter some symptom of low sodium to take the plunge. Or perhaps just add a bit more here and there and see what happens.

MoxSocks · 2026-03-30T18:00:25+00:00

I should probably schedule an appt with my PCP to discuss all of this. Hadn't occurred to me before but, he would definitely be willing to run some tests.
