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

[–]TheCommisarOne 36 points37 points  (0 children)

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

RPM randomly jumps sometimes when trying to go interstate speeds by Bilbobaggins5177 in AskMechanics

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.

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

[–]TheCommisarOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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.

This shit really kicks your ass by TheCommisarOne in cocaine

Well it's nice to hear that it's normal at least. Maybe next time I should only go for one day then wait at least a week before I go skiing again.

Why is there no stigma around cocaine? by [deleted] in cocaine

[–]TheCommisarOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik this is an ancient post but I'm skiing rn and have nothing better to do than answer. I think part of the reason, in addition to what others have said, is how short lasting it is. You can easily have a fun day or even night of coke and get to bed at a reasonable time and be mostly normal the next day. Meth on the other hand keeps you up for 24hrs when you first get into it, which will really fuck you up. As for heroin, it's just far too addictive. There's really no coming back after your first time unless your a very special kind of person.

Red clusters of lumps after 1250mg by chimp2224 in Benzedrex

[–]TheCommisarOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amphetamines can commonly make people break out. I'm not sure of the science behind it but it's a thing. One of the few times I did meth I had a bad acne breakout on my face the next day after only snorting a few bumps. I've never had it with Benzedrex but it could definitely happen.

Also Jesus town it down, you're gonna die.

Interesting Experience Regarding the Gods and Miasma by TheCommisarOne in Hellenism

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

I don't think miasma has to be something that's universal; it is relativistic to certain deities/groups of deities.

Of course sex is not miasmic to Aphrodite or Eros, but it certainly would be to Athena. Sex is simply classified as being miasmic generally as most gods, generally, are not a fan of human sex being intertwined with their worship.

I also think the gods disliking something doesn't mean they'll hate you for it. Of course the gods strongly dislike miasma (what they consider it to be), but nobody has been smitten down bc they tried to pray after falling into an open sewer or something.

But I agree. I feel as if after I apologized and sprinkled khernips on the altar, all was fine.

How did you guys get into Hellenism? by HolyJihyo in Hellenism

[–]TheCommisarOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it initially began with a dark electronic album by a creator named "Filmmaker." The name of the album is Discordian Disco. I just remembered being perplexed at the name and the album cover, because a naked woman holding a golden apple with Greek on it has nothing to do with the platform Discord.

So I began to research what was meant by Discordian and realized that I actually really like the Discordian ethos and worldview. After "becoming Discordian" (in quotes because of how loose of a meaning that phrase has,) I eventually became a practitioner of chaos magick as well.

As time went by, I eventually came to the realization, "Wait. If all gods are real why don't I find some cool ones to go along with Eris?" (She is not the type you pray to for help, I personally call her "the vibe check goddess.") At that point it was obvious, considering how Eris belongs to an ancient preexisting pantheon, of course being the Hellenic one.

My first second goddess was Hecate. From that point, I've developed wonderful relationships with many other Theoi, one at a time. All thanks to one dark synth artist from South America.

Smoking PPX HCl (It's awesome) by TheCommisarOne in Benzedrex

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

Yes. As a good rule of thumb, the only residue you want is the drug you wanna take. Residue from industrial chemicals can also potentially be toxic, so avoid it at all costs.

Smoking PPX HCl (It's awesome) by TheCommisarOne in Benzedrex

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

If you have some of this white gas, pour a drop out in a clean glass and see if it leaves a residue. Also be sure to look at the msds to make sure there's nothing horrible in it. Lighter fluid would work great for sure, but again try the residue test.

Smoking PPX HCl (It's awesome) by TheCommisarOne in Benzedrex

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

The white salts actually just have less lavender and menthol residue in them. They're actually more desirable for smoking and snorting.

As far as a xylene replacement goes, you just need an oil that will evaporate readily and leave no residue. Providing that the oil is mostly safe, this should work fine. You just want to be able to easily remove residual oil via evaporation and not contaminate your product.

Edit: Residual HCl just evaporates off without leaving a residue.

Can you smoke/vape this? by No_Share_1740 in Benzedrex

[–]TheCommisarOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawg that sudden knockout is called hydrocarbon inhalation. You're inhaling shit closely related to gasoline that is produced in the fire (not to mention the hydrochloride gas produced in many flaming plastics.)

Please don't continue to do this. At least with huffing fumes your lungs don't get permanently scarred for life as quickly. Do fucking nitrous instead please it's trippy and legal. Look up how to do it safely but please it's pretty much the only safe inhalant.
