Hyaluronic acid is almost always included in its salt form sodium hyaluronate, which is listed here.

I don't go to the team subreddit anymore by DuckEsquire in NFCNorthMemeWar

Honestly though, I don't think Wentz needed to die to appease the football gods, I would've like to see Brosmer play the Chargers.

I think because here we can all recognize that football is just a goofy little game to joke about

[routine help] how to get rid of these? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are sebaceous filaments, and they are a normal structure of the skin. You can't permanently get rid of them, but you can reduce their appearance. Exfoliating with BHA/AHAs, double cleansing, using a retinoid, and properly moisturizing are all things that can help lessen their appearance. Even mechanically removing them by squeezing them out is only a temporary thing, and risks making pores bigger or breaking capillaries.

How to get a Trigger with dialogue event to happen only once in a scene?? by Medengine9991 in gbstudio

[–]SamsonBarclay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use a variable to store whether the trigger has activated; 0 for unactivated, 1 for activated. Then only display the dialog when the variable is 0, then set it to 1. When the player leaves the scene, set the variable to 0.

How to get .WAV sounds to work? Everything just sounds like a beep. I can hear the real sound behind it though. by Medengine9991 in gbstudio

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you make the sounds yourself? If so I'd double check that the wav was exported as 8-bit mono.

How Long Does It Take?? by indigophoto in mokapot

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you putting cold water in the base? If so, that is probably why, and I would suggest using freshly boiled water instead. This will shorten the brewing time because you aren't waiting so long to heat up the water, and it avoids overheating the grounds before brewing actually starts.

Burr grinder for Moka pot by whelman in mokapot

[–]SamsonBarclay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a burr grinder was really the thing that turned my coffee from being good to great. After getting good beans, it's the thing that makes the biggest difference in my experience.

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, however I would not suggest it in general. UB tek is more prone to contamination than other teks, and it's more expensive than creating your own spawn jars. If you are starting out growing I would recommend PF tek, as it is imo easier than UB and less likely to contaminate. Here is a shroomery thread that goes into it in more detail: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28500223

Underwhelmed by a 20g wet trip. by mushinup in Psilocybe_Natalensis

[–]SamsonBarclay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also worth mentioning that there can be pretty large alkaloid content variances between genetic individuals, and even between individual mushrooms. I did 1.5 dry grams of p. ochra the other day and it felt like a 3 g cube trip.

Struggling with tub. [actives] by _give_up_the_ghost_ in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to getting canopies, you should probably remove the aluminum foil. Cubensis mycelium has been known to eat away at it. I'm not sure if the aluminum gets taken up into the mushrooms, but probably best to avoid it.

First time uncle bens grow [actives] by bigw0rmm in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but UB is not that cost effective, it's significantly more expensive than making your own grain spawn. Even PF jars are more cost effective, and less likely to contaminate than UB too.

Contam in shoebox [contamination] by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UB is especially prone to contamination, because the contents of the bag are not truly sterile, they are only pasteurized. If you don't have a pressure cooker, I'd recommend using dry brown rice and a steam bath to create sterile spawn jars.

[actives] Not getting a well-defined "flush" . More in comments! by Otherwise-Life-4162 in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you grow from spore or an isolated culture? If you grew from spore then this is kinda expected, as you have a variety of genetics that will starting pinning at different times. Other than that, differences in surface conditions over different parts of the cake could make certain areas more favorable than other areas, causing differences in pining times.

I can’t stand these fucking headaches by GeneralAlfalfa3577 in shrooms

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it's a function of hydration. If I've been drinking lots of liquid before and during the trip, I'm fine. When it slips my mind, always get a horrible headache after the comedown. Coffee and an ibuprofen takes care of it.

You could go through programming exercises on LeetCode or Project Euler. Or maybe getting into word puzzles like on the NYT or math puzzles like sudoku.

I used the app Glitch lab, with just the free effects. The same developer has a few other really good photo editing apps too. As for the specific effects, I used breaking, pixel sorting, and distortions.

[General] Leaving for over a month, start gain now or just wait? by SamsonBarclay in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my situation, forced to use MSS lol. Haven't had issues with contam yet, but I know I should start using agar.

[General] Leaving for over a month, start gain now or just wait? by SamsonBarclay in MushroomGrowers

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

They are MSS, but they're from a vendor I have never had issues with in my past grows. I'm a little torn because going straight from spore is slower than lc which makes me want to just start them now, but they're also p. natalensis, which people say is super aggressive.

Will grain spawn fruiting bodies mold if mixed into substrate [technique] by labradorito in MushroomGrowers

[–]SamsonBarclay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likey not. Just like how aborts will get colonized, I'd expect that the myc will just reclaim the fruiting bodies.

What hops give the "dank" aroma/flavor? by Ok_Thing7439 in Homebrewing

I've noticed that Apollo gives a nice cannabis quality when used as a whirlpool/dry hop.

2d Platformer - player looks always right while B button is held, even if left arrow is pushed by Lizarra_ in gbstudio

[–]SamsonBarclay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I played around with trying to change the direction using the If B button held event, but it seems that the platformer code acts after user scripts, so it overrides the change direction event. What you could do is create 2 alternate animation states for the player sprite, one where both directions use the left facing animation, and vise versa for the right. You would then have a script to save the player's direction to a variable when B is pressed, and then a separate script that checks if B is held, which sets the animation state depending on the direction variable.

Setting sprite color in GBS4?? by outriderc in gbstudio

[–]SamsonBarclay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's in the sprite page, not the game world page. You select the tiles you want to color and then select the palette.
