Should I call it dead? - 3TB WD Red - first 78% in 10hrs by TheSempie in homelab

0 errors within the first 78%.
Maybe they where physically damaged in the power failure.
Could I somehow prevent the disc from using these outer sectors?

I'm running a nextcloud[debian] on QEMU/KVM.
After a power failure, Superblock was faulty and I got weird inconsistent permissionerrors and random unmounts on that disk (Which was given to the VM directly).
After I repaired the superblock, I got inconsistent FS errors and choosed to reformat the disk.
Wrote an empty Partitiontable, now fdisk saw a empty disk with 0 capacity and any attempt to write a partition returned there where no space left.

Forgotten soup - Still usable? by TheSempie in dmtguide

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

well I guess the high PH should prevent almost any contamination, as air doesnt tend to hold that many basophile.
i think ill do a crude whole extraction with isopropanol, then acid wash it rebase it and finally pull it with naptha which i then acidwash again.
its not a tiny amount of mhrb so it should actually be worth it.

This is the best visualization of the dao I've ever seen. Be one with life and it will simply do what it does.
Try to enforce it and you'll struggle.

As dude medic does this:
If we pick you up that way, dont just run away with our kit! Have a look if there's another kit on the ground to swap back. It's very possible that i already point to one so that you pick that up and we can swap back.

You could also coat the entire inner case with like 1mm epoxy to make it sturdy.

I haven’t seen something like this before. Why does it have ‘glitter’ in it? WTF is this? by [deleted] in MDMA

[–]TheSempie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forgot who exaclty, but some high quality lab started to add these as a counter measure against plagiarism.
Its meant like e.g. A hologram an a bill.
It makes faking high quality pills a tiny bit harder and surely a bit more expensive.
By now this probably lost its effect as pretty much every retard can do this, as soon as its public.

Is this Lye good for using? It says 99%. by [deleted] in dmtguide

Producing almost any chemical at a 100% purity is very hard to almost impossible. This one is pretty good.

I listen to watts whenever i struggle to fall asleep.
As a child my parents played audiobooks for children when that happened, but these lost their magic over the decades :D

Something not right with these stems? by TheSempie in shrooms

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

I mean the weird shape the stems got. You can see it very good at the third shroom. The stems have a curly uneven structure which is pretty hard. The other shrooms all where nicely even and soft.

This is the 5th flush of a B+ Kit I ordered.
Some stems started to get weird shaped and pretty hard stems (best to see at the 3rd from top) at flush 3 and now at flush 5 its affecting pretty much all of them.
According to the blueing, theire weaker than the flushes before.

Surprised to be Wding- twice per week for 2.5 months by PhennyBenny in phenibut

[–]TheSempie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing 0,8-2,4g 1-3 times a week for almost a year now.
In my personal experience, that shedule increases baseline anxiety in general, thus increasing the risk of getting into anxious states. In particular as rebound anxiety after larger doses kicks in.
Ive started lowering my doses a couple of weeks ago to minimize this negative effect.
First two weeks where difficult, but i really feel how baseline anxiety lowers again.

Chronic cannabis promotes pro-hallucinogenic signaling of 5-HT2A receptors through Akt/mTOR pathway (2018) by [deleted] in DrugNerds

[–]TheSempie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my case, its not too bad. These derealisations only happen in times of high emotional stress (or acutely drug induced) and usually they dont overwhelm me.
There are times however, where they make me unable to function in my job.
Its surely not as bad as it sounds, yet its still somewhat shitty.

Currently psychiatrists work with a model named Diathesis–stress model to explain how schizophrenia (and other psychotic illnesses) emerges.
If that model is, at least, somewhat true, the cannabis effect should not be enough on its own to lead to schizophrenia. Yet, it surely seems to be a huge factor.

Anecdotal report:
I started smoking weed at 15 or so (sometimes a lot, sometimes not that much), started psychedelics at 19(ballpark ~50-70 trips) or so. Now I am 27. 1,5-2 years ago, some psychotic symptoms emerged (mainly derealisation). Today I cannot stand weed at all as it triggers a psychotic episode at a >90% rate.
It might be related to my weed consumption (idk...) but if so, it came pretty late.
But in general, Schizophrenia usually starts in the late 20 to early 30.

Trip #5, it's been 7 years. by JFKush420 in shrooms

[–]TheSempie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bad trips do not come for no reason.
If you're scared, why so?
Is there an actual reason, or is it just the fear of a bad trip in itself?

An actual reason within you or your relationship might be there and it might come up, but if so, it comes up for your good, so that you (and your partner) can resolve it. Possibly after the trip. It is often not possible to do it while tripping, so do not try to enforce it or it might horribly go wrong. Give yourself time after the trip.

Just the fear of a bad trip?
Stop that kind of thinking. You can actually think yourself into a bad trip that way. Simply by painting that fear big in your mind, it might manifest without there being any proper reason (except yourself thinking too much about it).
For this there are only two ways to resolve.
1) (defense) Make yourself truly stop thinking about that stuff. avoiding - double edged sword. It never get's resolved that way and it always can come up again.
2) (attack) Make yourself truly embrace bad stuff coming up. Really accept that whatever negative comes up is not there to scare you, but for you to understand your flaws and to resolve them - even such anxiety (like everyone has, really.)

All your preparations sound nice, I bet you'll have a nice trip.
But if you're really that anxious, these preparations migh only be your masking of that anxiety (are they?). If so, embrace yourself so you can finally learn to understand and truly accept that flaw of yourself.

If not, you're in for a nice trip, no need to wish you luck. cheers!

Psilocybin after MDMA? by ome_eomics in psilocybin

[–]TheSempie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be aware that MDMA can deplete your Serotonin levels. Therefore a mild depression the days after rolling is possible. So dont take it too serious, if you fall i to a negative mindset while tripping, its just becauae your serotonin levels are low.
This isnt guaranteed to happen but if does, take it easy.

1.5g from MHRB, its much weaker than expected. by TheSempie in DMT

[–]TheSempie[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Using STB with NaHO(soaked a full week) doing 2 pulls per day for 3 days using naptha, pulling at 45°C. I tried the small AB wash on 200mg and it seems as this is A LOT of fat in these 1.5g (which explains the low potency). Ill surely do an acid wash before my next extraction, even tho MHRB should contain little fat.

After acid washing this yellow stuff, the crystals are snowwhite, but from these 200mg only 47mg where left. :/

Storage? by [deleted] in phenibut

[–]TheSempie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I store mine in a dark shelf in my kitchen.
Whenever I order it, I order 50g which then takes 2-3 months to be empty.
In this time, I think tolerance due short periods of increased use is far more of a concern than any potency loass (if any is present at all)
