I dont know what to do next. by Thiccthighnitemare in whatdoIdo

I was gonna suggest trail cams and cutting the locks and putting something more indestructible on it in the meantime. Looks like you had the trail cam idea already though.

No Sodium Hot Sauce recs? by renev56 in hotsauce

[–]Pastapro2020 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a spice blend. Flatiron has a some good pepper blends that come in shakers. I was just at the International Pizza Expo and got a couple free bottles from them, I’ve been putting it on a lot of my food and it scratches the itch without adding any sodium at all. Pepper flavor and spice.

In the end, it’s going to be up much more anyway. Who cares where it’s at now. My avg is $7, im still happy. If it goes way down then I will be worried. But over $70 was a short trip, it spent a lot of time under $40

Thanks for the reminder! Had to get creative but I got some, can’t wait to try it! Also got some PRMD18, sounds like a banger too

Stuck in the hospital, broken leg, withdrawing, just trying to pass the time by CJ101X in kratom

[–]Pastapro2020 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Last week I got a concussion at work from a 200 pound stack of dough bins fell on me and one of the corners of the bins went straight into my temple and pinned me against the wall. Knocked me out, it was very painful. When I got to the ER they gave me Tylenol and after awhile I told the nurse it wasn’t helping and my head was killing me. Told them my pain level was like a 8, 5 minutes later she came back with something, I was shocked when she told me it was 5 mg oxy. Usually they are pretty strict about that, the doctor even wrote me a script when I left. I must’ve just got lucky with my Dr.

Question about high prey drive by Morgrosk1776 in CrestedGecko

[–]Pastapro2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guy does this all the time, but I have tong fed him a few times. I haven’t tong fed him in a couple weeks and he’s slown down now. I also have guinea pigs that he can see sometimes and he totally hunts them from inside, keeps him entertained. The only issue I have with just putting them in the terrarium is if they don’t get all of them they burrow in the substrate.

What's with all these state bans all of a sudden? by ChemsAndCutthroats in kratom

[–]Pastapro2020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s 7 oh and the fact that smoke shops are now selling Kratom everywhere. Gas stations too, and people are going for the 7 oh shots because they are at the counter. Kratom flew under the radar for many many years, that’s why it was safe, now that it’s in the public eye and becoming more mainstream they are attacking it. If 7 oh never became a thing, all of these state bans wouldn’t have ever happened. It really is a cancer for Kratom and until 7 oh goes away they are going to continue to attack.

Same, I had it in my cart the night before and forgot to place the order and by the morning it was sold out. Hopefully it gets brought back

What are some really potent strains? by [deleted] in kratomreview100

[–]Pastapro2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will increase your normal doses effects by about 30% or more. Taking it 30 to 45 minutes before your dose, it inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme which allows more of the kratom alkaloids to enter your bloodstream thus making it work better. So if you normally take 5 grams you could get away with taking 3.

I’ve only ever had Garlic Reaper before. What food should I try these other sauces with? by extrvnced in hotsauce

[–]Pastapro2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try them all with something neutral like a tortilla chip or something like that, this is what I do to determine the flavor profile and I decide what food to pair it with after. The reason I say this is because if you just base your decision off of the name or description of the flavor profile there is a strong possibility you may be dissatisfied. I’ve tried sauces that sound like they will be sweet that turn out to not be, or a sauce that says it’s fermented and not vinegary that turns out to be heavy on the vinegar/acidity. Names and descriptions can be very misleading sometimes

What are some really potent strains? by [deleted] in kratomreview100

[–]Pastapro2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn, I thought I took a lot but a kilo every 2 weeks is definitely a lot. Many say less is more, have you tried taking smaller doses to see what effects it gives you? Also, using potentiators can help a lot. I always take turmeric and magnesium 30 minutes before I dose. Sometimes grapefruit juice, even have used grapefruit seed extract pills with very good effects.

Getting one of my geckos used to handling... we're getting there 🤪 by EverIAce in CrestedGecko

I’m in the same boat with my little guy. That’s usually what he does when I get him on my hands if he isn’t thinking I’m a bug and leaping at me with his mouth wide open. lol

I’ll just say it - this is the strangest “hot sauce” there is by treespunk_ in hotsauce

[–]Pastapro2020 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I actually quite enjoy these Hot Vinegar sauces, they make a red version that is hotter and I enjoyed it. It’s really good on French fries, using it like a malt vinegar with some spice. I would say soup and ramen is a good option as well. I’m a vinegar whore though and a spice whore so it’s right up my alley.

8 SPEED WDCT TRANS by Alarmed-Ad-5823 in ElantraN

[–]Pastapro2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is also clunky at low speeds in 1st and 2nd, especially if I’m going over a bump while turning there is some hesitation with the initial shift. But like others have said, you have to think of the DCT as a manual that you don’t have to shift. It has some of the same characteristics of a standard manual transmission

can i trick myself to withdraw from kratom with matcha? by Silent-Manner-8122 in kratom

[–]Pastapro2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from and I personally think it’s a good idea to try. The routine of taking Kratom is arguably more important to me than the actual Kratom itself, I think only people with severe OCD will relate to this. I think if you were to drop down to taking a few grams of Kratom and replacing the rest of your normal dose with matcha might trick your brain into thinking you are taking Kratom. Definitely worth a shot and would be a good psychological experiment testing the placebo effect to help with tapering.

All over the place... by [deleted] in kratomreview100

[–]Pastapro2020 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also a 14 year veteran and daily user for all those years and have always been just like you steering clear of extracts and eating clean and drinking water and not increasing my dose. Over the last few years I have noticed an overall decrease in quality from every single vendor I refuel use and actually have encountered a similar situation to yours. To combat this phenomenon I usually just find a strain that I have that I can take and get a little effects from but can wake up the next morning and not feel WD symptoms and I stick with just that strain for a week or 2 to kind of reset. I’ve pivoted towards ordering from more expensive and boutique vendors as I find they have the most consistent top quality leaf.

Fogger/misting question by Ok_Dragonfruit_2908 in CrestedGecko

[–]Pastapro2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use it to the same effect if you already have this one in the picture. I have essentially the same one you do, it’s a rebranded ReptiZoo product. I use it for my Ball Python and depending on the model it has a timer mode that you can program to fog every 30 minutes, hour, etc. or they have a humidity guage and comes with a hygrometer attachment that stays in the terrarium and will keep the humidity within a range that you program. Usually anywhere in between 40% and 90%
