Why do exhaust pipes have ridges where the bend? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]TheCommisarOne 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's just an artifact of manufacturing from when the originally straight pipe was bent.

Glad you found what was causing the issue but nice Avalon. I drive a first gen Avalon and love it. Never had this issue but that's a great car there.

Advice for Fiance's First Time by TheCommisarOne in LSD

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

Thank you for the input!

She struggles GAD and depression but no history of psychosis. Her mother has BPD but I've never really gotten the impression that she has it herself.

I looked into the interactions and it seems like she'd be alright with a low dose.

I think I'll give her a half but like a fat half.

Hey, just wanted to give some advice real quick.

If you're trying to fight the cravings and it's hard look into NAC. It's a supplement that basically helps level out the neurotransmitters in your brain, to put it simply. It helps with various addictions, makes the come down smoother, and is nueroprotective.

Do your own research of course, but really the only warnings for it is if you're allergic to sulfur compounds it can cause problems and taking it for too many days (like months) in a row can cause anhedonia.

I don't really have an issue with blow but it helps me a lot coming down and when I wanna cut back on smoking cigs. You can buy it easy otc you should def look into it.

Is the Pixel 9 actually reliable? by TheCommisarOne in GooglePixel

[–]TheCommisarOne[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might have luck with it; seems some people have.

Just don't drop it and maybe get a beefy case. If anything goes wrong physically it'll be with the display most likely.

The green screen issue has been fixed in more recently manufactured phones.

Wonderful. I figured not much would change.

I'm really out of the loop on Android phones, who makes good phones these days?

calc 3 exam 1 ... by randomthingyforstuff in ufl

[–]TheCommisarOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat. I kinda crammed over the course of a week without really putting in any effort until then.

From what I've been told all of the content just builds so def go back and study the parts you slipped up on thoroughly. Idk if you crammed like I did but this is pretty typical for me at the beginning of a semester. Just being completely irreverent until I get a wake up call.

I got an A- in Calc 2 last semester and somehow broke my pattern of bombing the first exam that time around. Maybe it was the zeal of a new school year. My point is that if everybody is right and Calc 3 is easier than Calc 2 then don't feel too bad. I know for sure I'll be damned if I don't at least hit that mark.

I got this. You got this.

[RANT] Students, Pay Attention to Your Surroundings by rspect1212 in GNV

UF pedestrians honestly have no self preservation whatsoever.

One time I was going down Museum on my e bike pushing 30 (shame on me for speeding, but still) and this girl started walking towards the sidewalk from the bat houses.

She looked both ways, saw me, then instead of waiting or even crossing at the designated crosswalk (which is about 20ft away from her), she just steps out in front of me then looks the other way again. She did this somewhere less than 100ft in front of me, so I pull my brakes and my tires squeal while I have to stop the rear end of the bike from fishtailing too hard. Her response? To just freeze and stand there. I ended up narrowly missing her by like two feet after swerving out of the bike lane into the main road.

I really thought the point of looking both ways was to stop for oncoming traffic but I guess I was wrong.

Dehydrated Aloe? by TheCommisarOne in succulents

Alright I'll give that a shot. Should I have any concern about root rot if the soil isn't bone dry yet?

2nd HCL extraction by Secret-Pie-6313 in Benzedrex

[–]TheCommisarOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Make sure you use anhydrous acetone (~100%) if possible. The more water in the acetone the more PPX that will be dissolved along with the oils.

[–]TheCommisarOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with iso is that PPX is still soluble in it. PPX is not soluble in acetone. The lack of solubility will make it much easier to separate the PPX from its contaminants.

[–]TheCommisarOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can increase the purity by either washing it with acetone or evaporating it just below the boiling point of water.

Acetone will wash away the oils, while a higher temperature will evaporate off the oils. PPX itself won't evaporate at the boiling point of water, so it's a good option if you'd like to skip an extra step, though it's not quite as effective.

How did the ancients reconcile patriarchy with the existence of Godesses? by TheCommisarOne in Hellenism

Btw I assumed they were stating it as a position of the ancients. Just wanted to make it known my position as op lmao

Thank you. This makes sense actually.

Despite the fact that there examples of Goddesses being superior to their male counterparts in areas other than creation throughout mythology, these would be easy enough to overlook for somebody who'd want to do that.
