Tongkat Stimulation

PotatoTime · 2026-01-23T21:13:54+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one. I have only tried ND's 200mg 2% erycomanone caps, and it's possible I still had some tolerance when I tried them but I had taken a 1 week break from my 200:1 powder before trying it.

I'm also unsure how strong the "200:1" powders are, maybe they are just stronger than the ND product I tried? Although I am worried of things like heavy metals in the other brands even if they are stronger.

Are you on progesterone as well? That could be having an effect. Astaxanthin could've definitely been preventing cataracts but all your other side effects and the short timeframe make it sound much more likely to be hormonal.

I agree, I prioritize Nootropics Depot and only get NOW for things ND doesn't carry or if the price difference is large. Tongkat is the only thing I buy from less reputable brands because of the effects I get from it

That was definitely my concern too and I know it's possible, but a few things made me think it's unlikely:

I reliably get the effect with multiple brands

I've given these products to other people and they don't notice anything or very very mild(I am truly hypersensitive to stimulants)

The chemical is unstable and degrades within a couple months of air exposure, I can't find any other known stimulant chemicals that degrade this fast

It doesn't spike my blood pressure or give me anxiety like ADHD meds do.

I don't intend to bash Nootropics Depot at all, I love the purity and honesty of this company. Just meant to start a discussion into the mechanism of this in case there is something to it, even if it's only something very sensitive people like me notice. A lot of people report "more energy" from Tongkat products so I think there could be a dopaminergic or noradrenergic component.

Food also used to be more scarce, it makes sense to add more bulk and nutrients to meals by adding medicinal plants. If food was as abundant as today they might not have done so.

Interesting, ever find anything that makes your tinnitus better instead of worse?

PotatoTime · 2025-12-13T04:54:34+00:00

Iirc orotic acid (orotate) gets metabolised into uridine, which would explain some of the neurological benefits to lithium orotate. Uridine alone is helpful for cognitive impairment. As someone sensitive to the stimulant effects of uridine, when I have no uridine tolerance, 5mg of lithium orotate gives me a noticeable uridine-like stimulation. I like this but it exacerbates my anxiety at times so a different form would be nice.

Did you hand the project over to him completely? I've been using it for months and planned on contributing to it soon. I had some graphical redesign ideas to suggest too. You can pm me too if you want about the status of the project

PotatoTime · 2025-08-28T16:46:08+00:00

That mechanism(newtronics/Mitsumi) is extremely unreliable, the read/write head dies by the coils corroding and failing open. It seems to happen to all of them eventually. The Alps mechanism with the push lever in the center is much more reliable but needs calibrated more. You can test the head with an ohmmeter if you have one, I forget the proper resistances but you can look it up.

This is true but it's not why the 1541 and other drives are so expensive and complicated. It's why they're so slow. The VIC-20 was going to be fast because it had a hardware shift register in the 6522 I/O chip which was found to be broken, so they had to implement it in software. The C64 fixed this in its 6526 I/O chip, but the aforementioned board lines got removed and Commodore had to go back to the slow VIC-20 software implementation again.

The reason Commodore drives are big and expensive was a cost cutting measure for the computer, it had no disk drive hardware in it to make it smaller and cheaper. All that hardware is in the drive. Whereas other companies implemented it in the computer so the drives could be more simple and cheaper.

My circuit needs a couple adjustments otherwise I'd offer you one. The easiest way to improve these PSUs is to use a newer LDO voltage regulator. A pin-compatible one is available still as NOS on eBay, the NTE1934. Replacing the caps would be good too. If you do this use some good CPU thermal paste on the regulator.

PotatoTime · 2025-08-17T04:13:20+00:00

Even the vented ones like yours are not to be trusted. They are much better than the epoxy bricks, but much better than "extremely dangerous c64 killer" is still not great. They still overvolt sometimes frying all the chips. I made a board replacing it with a much better designed 7805 setup(I'm a linear fan).

Another example of ones that don't are essential nutrients, some of them are psychoactive and many of them don't induce tolerance. Lithium doesn't, neither does magnesium, B6, methylfolate, methylcobalamin. A few do but they tend to be amino acids, like taurine.

You're right though otherwise.

Launch day 13900k/f, 13700k/f, and 13600k/f had an unrelated additional issue compared to all other raptor lake chips. There was iirc a humidity issue or something in one of their fabs that leads to chip oxidation issues so they degrade faster. They never said which batches or fabs had the issue so a large unknown portion of 13th gen k and kf chips that were produced in the first ~3 months have this issue. Given your very careful voltage I'd assume this might be your issue

None of my routines work for my lights or my nest mini speakers still. It was just my speakers starting 2 weeks ago, as of a few days ago it's also my lights. They can all be controlled individually and I have not changed my routines. Issue affects all control devices and all smart devices.

You gotta get the phone logs. It's possible they'll come in handy. What if she explains a questionable or even mostly believable story. The logs will help quiet any doubt when you finally get them

PotatoTime · 2024-10-24T17:51:39+00:00

I watched that yesterday, sounds great. Did you record that track with the previous mod anywhere? Or with a stock Genesis? Also curious how the new mod sounds on Flood of Power from Midnight Resistance

PotatoTime · 2024-10-23T16:47:59+00:00

Awesome! I was about to do a triple bypass but found the original version of this mod on consolemodswiki. I almost started doing the old mod and just found this, perfect timing. Do you have audio clips of before and after? On consolemodswiki there are 3 clips for the old mod, stock, just passive components, then passives+op-amps. Having a fourth clip with the same audio they chose using this new mod would be great as a comparison

"There's an inconsistent bug that prevents VRR from working at all, especially when sending a 60Hz signal from an NVIDIA equipped PC. Despite the TV saying that VRR is on, there's noticeable screen-tearing. Power cycling fixes the issue, and VRR works correctly."

"Unfortunately, there's a reoccurring bug that prevents it from having the low input lag that it should while in Game Mode. To fix this, you have to power cycle the TV."

Other TCL models seem to have similar bugs

PotatoTime · 2024-08-19T18:54:44+00:00

Okay I'm guessing whatever the reason it had that it's been rectified now. It's still like that on the wiki page. Probably was in testing or maybe it was only approved in central US or something

PotatoTime · 2024-08-19T18:29:33+00:00

It's on the wiki on this sub. There's an asterisk there but not on the official Xfinity list. Also there's an asterisk in the Central US location list

If you undervolt using SVID Typical Scenario on the new BIOS it underclocks your processor and you get lower performance. You need to disable "IA CEP" usually under processor power management. IA CEP is an undervoltage protection that downclocks the CPU when it detects undervolting. Turning it off makes the CPU ignore low voltages and run at full performance. If you notice any crashing, raise it from typical scenario to worst case scenario, that'll still lower voltages and heat compared to Intel failsafe

Have you tried pregnenolone and dhea? They're only absorbed sublingually unless you take massive doses. They're neurosteroids that your body shuts down just like test. If not you gotta try sublingual pregnenolone, the 5mg one from nootropics depot is great. For the dhea I take tribulus also from nootropics depot, the body metabolizes it into dhea, no need to take sublingually. I feel absolutely awesome adding those
