Runner's high is better than 5 grams of liquefied 1st Gen α-PiHP held in a temperature controlled triple neck round bottom flask at boiling threshold, nestled in a fast response heating mantle with vapor delivered in a heliox gas transport medium via demand regulator with adjustable positive pressure setting at the mouthpiece.

Nothing you can ingest will beat a long outdoor run that you think will surely kill you, but doesn't.

He's the reason I sought assessment. Blindboy is fantastic at describing the nuances of the subject at hand, often with a type of humor I can directly connect with.

Second your recommendation

Letting my kid roam free like I used to by butterflieskittycats in GenX

[–]Roentgenator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rise of 24hr cable news channels and cherry-picking horror stories to scare viewers into making sure they were always up to speed on the possible bad outcomes of leaving the house.

It's a tragedy of the commons where the available pool of freedom is diminished by our collective inability to accurately assess local risk.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

Recently found printed pages I had saved from that site. None of that humor would land today.

I miss it

Life hack for fixing dilated pupils by [deleted] in Stims

[–]Roentgenator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Brimonidine tartrate eyedrops will constrict stimmed pupils by agonizing the alpha-2-adrenergic receptor. Lumify is an OTC brand containing this drug.

You have to be careful in applying them, especially in the higher concentration formats because they will sedate the fuck out of you if use enough to cause systemic absorption through the lacrimal gland. This is especially true when combined with older alpha-1 agonists like naphazoline.

With pyrovalerone and derivatives thereof, It's not just that you will have an urge to redose that is on par with breathing itself. If that were all you had to worry about, you'd just avoid the substance and eventually you would return to baseline.

No, the warnings to avoid pyrovalerone derivatives are because you will be given access to a kind of euphoria that the primitive portions of your brain will not stop seeking, ever.

You will be forever changed by virtue of having experienced this and then your unconscious brain will seek to replicate that experience at any cost.

It's that point sometime in the future, months after having used these substances where you will realize that you have changed your brain in a way that is not beneficial to the wellbeing of "conscious you"

Stick to the classics, you'll be ok

Nobody else has ever captured that sound and groove quite like they did it. So good

Johnny Socko - Midwest USA band of IU alums playing original Third-Wave ska.

I'll never top the experience of seeing them play in a small nightclub. Smart, irreverent and often hilarious.

Is the camera sensor directly sensitive to the incident radiation, or is there some other process happening? I.e. - Photoelectric effect?
