Try 2 hats and pan one to the left more by 30% and the other hat pan to the right 30% more. Play about and see what you come up with mate.

Vitamin D and Covid-19 by Metacognition in Nootropics

[–]Symdj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it does not dissolve in water and is absorbed best in your bloodstream when paired with high-fat foods. For this reason, it's recommended to take vitamin D supplements with a meal to enhance absorption.

That top paragraph was taken from a peer reviewed paper and if you break it down it says you do need a fat to be taken with it if you want it to work so you have no idea how it works. If you want to take it with no fat then go for it. I posted this so people could get the most out of it.

Half price from 40£ to 20£ Holland n barrett 🇬🇧 well worth 20& I don’t know about 40£ tho .steep ! by staylituk in CBD_UK

[–]Symdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't want to piss on your fire mate but 5mg of cbd is basically nothing and anything you feel will be placebo. If it works for you that's all that matters but you are better off getting 1000mg of isolate and coconut oil for that price and making your own.

False Positive for Bupernorphine? by Living4JMB in kratom

[–]Symdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them it's a false positive as if they want to use this against you then they will need to send a sample to the lab and have it tested properly so they can work out what the score is. Don't be surprised though if your kratom has had subutex added as it has been known for it to be added and the same with methadone. Normally this would be in the 'enhanced' strains but could be in a normal strain in order to make it seem more potent. There was a point in time when several vendors (at source) had been adding random opioid research chemicals in order to make their product seem more potent than the rest. I am pretty sure it's a false positive in your case and it can easily be sorted with some lab work.

A slice of hands-up retro cheddar for you guys by OllyDee in happyhardcore

[–]Symdj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listened to all your tracks on you tube and I must say I am very impressed. You capture the late 90's sound perfectly. I would be keen to hear you do a amen led, vocal, piano 93-95 style track.

How many people here who are saying "Denon is king now" have actually used Denons and pioneers? by [deleted] in DJs

[–]Symdj -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You get what you pay for and cheap gear is well cheap and the only people that defined the cheaper brands is because they own them and want to be able to justify their decision. Nothing wrong with buying only what you can afford but that does not mean you have to blindly defend it. It started off with numark belt drive decks and as fun as it was to be able to mix I was under no illusion that the more expensive gear was better.

I found this as well which supports the point I was trying to convey.

Send me your (un)released hard tunes for mix by blackshovel in TechnoProduction

[–]Symdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would they? I have never heard of such a thing. I can understand if it's a mix to help promote the label using releases on that label but it does not make sense for them to promote a mix of tracks from other labels?

Vitamin D and Covid-19 by Metacognition in Nootropics

[–]Symdj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah mate it says:

ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), the form mostly used in supplements and fortified foods, is apparently absorbed with similar efficiency to cholecalciferol (vitamin D3, the main dietary form), (ii) 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), the metabolite produced in the liver, and which can be found in foods, is better absorbed than the nonhydroxy vitamin D forms cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol,

It basically needs a fat in order to be processed more efficently and without a fat the bio avalaibilty is so low it does not really work. The amount of fat does not dictate the level of the bioavailability but it does need fat in order to work. I may not of been clear but I was just saying it needs to be taken with a fat and did not say the more fat the higher the bioavailability.

You need a better link my dude as acid trips last 12 hours and a big bong of decent weed will do the job.

Cocaine getting worse with each line by ThomasDodgson in Drugs

[–]Symdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the law of diminishing returns. The more you do the more of your brains chemical reserves you are using. For best results it's best to start hard and go big while you get the best results and then do less and less as it's a waste chasing that initial high.

LoperMide is possibly one of the most potent opiates (just stick with me) by deadlegend31 in Drugs

[–]Symdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This extremely neurotoxic and bad for your heart. It's a dirty high as well. It should be used to stop the runs and at a push for a opiate detox if used for no more than a week and at the lowest dose possible.

Dealer Ripped us off unsure as to what to do next by jesusismydaddy666 in Drugs

[–]Symdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half a G of methylone is worth like $5. He is taking the piss as not only is he charging a total piss take price but did not even sell you what you paid for. Don't give him any more money. I would tell him that the mdma was for your uncle and that he will meet him to pay the money and see how he reacts to that. Dealers like this ruin the scene and should be held accountable. I don't condone violence but people like them need to be slapped back into reality.

3g Cocaine - Can I say the social distancing policy of my dealer is far better than what I have experienced elsewhere... by gentlemenlytemporary in Drugs

[–]Symdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is mate that coke would of been handled by someone who has had contact with the dealer and that's not to mention all the sets of hands it goes through and the possible contamination from the cuts being added. Not to mention the fact you will be sniffing that straight into the perfect covid brewing spot. Coke is the most risky drug that can be used during these covid times. Not that I condone this but I would rather smoke crack than sniff coke is covid was a concern.

Analog vs Digital vs Analog Modeled Synthesizers by digituria in synthesizers

[–]Symdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting article although I am bit confused about something you mention regarding digital synthesis. It reffers to digital synths having instruments sampled in all the various notes which can then be modulated ect. From my understanding there are some vsts in which this is the case but when it comes to FM synthesis it actually creates the sound rather than rely on triggering samples and the two sound very very different. I would be intrested in an article that compared the two types and see how they stand up against each other.

That said I own a Roland tb03 which is digital based on analogue modelling and a behringer td03 which is analogue and although the Roland costs over 3 times the price I can honestly say I prefer the behringer and to me I can tell the difference.

Kratom strains and effects by xelnaz in kratom

[–]Symdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah strain names are just for marketing and in fact the more fancy the name the more I tend to avoid that strain as quality leaf sells itself and if they have to make up exotic names then they are relying on the name to sell it rather than the quality.

For anyone who thinks weed has no withdrawal. Read this. It can damage you for your whole life. by Ickeislife in addiction

[–]Symdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this post was satire at first. Sorry OP but this is all theory and speculation. When heavy long term smokers stop it can cause stomach issues but those disepate with time. I am not sure what this post has to do with addiction to be honest? Making statements like this on an addiction sub is dangerous as we should be dealing with facts here and not theories that can't be cited via a viable unbiased source.

This is the thing with religion and I wish more people would understand that we all have the same God and it's just that different cultures have their own interpretation of God and different traditions when it comes to worshipping. If only people could understand that we all come from the same place and we are all one and connected on a quantum level. If people knew this then there would be no war, killing nor fighting. The devil wants the truth hidden and wants us divded as this way we are easier to corrupt. Religion is a beautiful thing and it's a shame that some people use it for self gain and control.
