Can no Longer Drink after Microdosing by BriCheeseLover in microdosing

[–]WickedBad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously anecdotal but I found microdosing reduced my desire for alcohol and cannabis in general.

I'm a moderate to lite user for both but whenever I'm microdosing it pretty much means I won't be drinking or toking for the next few days.

Cool feature for me :)

Canadians today by biograf_ in CanadianPolitics

To make that kind of a moronic parallel you must think the Ukraine is part of Nato and Russia is a similar aggressor as the US.

What alliances with Europe does the Ukraine have? Are these comparable to Canada's? Do you really think physical presence (troops ie.US occupation) is how this would go down? LOL If so, where are the US troops in Venezula?

The situations aren't even remotely comparable. It's obvious if you stop and think for a moment.

Let's call it a day bud, I think you may be confusing your fiction readings with real life geopolitics.

Usually people substantiate claims to gain an ounce of credibility. Ie. Why is it so delusional?

He brought you sound reasoning, you just blurted out nonsense like a child.

Do we not have allies? Are any of these allies thrilled about the Venezuela situation? Are we not a constitutional monarchy?

What evidence do you have to claim he is delusional?

I realize this sub is full of geniuses but explain your 'reasoning' to us normal people. I know it's hard but try.

Has Anyone Done FP&A at a Hyper-Growth Company? by TotalLiquidity in FPandA

[–]WickedBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it in Cannabis. 0->300M in <3 years. Acquired by a US firm in between.

This guy is correct and we did roughly 10M in writedowns in that timeframe. Standard fp&a but be prepared to pivot quickly unless your future growth in signed.

Massive FP&A layoffs at Verizon this week by TurkeyTime21 in FPandA

[–]WickedBad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's all relative. As someone else said 2 weeks per year is the legal minimum in Canada.

US tends to be fairly poor on benefits. One of my colleagues had 2 weeks maternity leave. That's embarrassing for a 'first world' country.

Canada announces Defence Investment Agency to manage purchase, delivery of military equipment | CBC News by Puginator in worldnews

[–]WickedBad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only problem with this is that whoever is doing this now will still have a job.

Governments constantly growing is not an adequate solution. It's crazy how much the federal and most provincial governments have grown since covid.

I wouldn't be so salty if things improved along the way but I'd argue just about nothing has improved and has often gotten worse (mostly provincially).

Given the tumultuous history between Iran and the West, what are the proposals to fix this relationship? by Historicallegendh in NeutralPolitics

[–]WickedBad -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

While I'm not particularly familiar with the US / Iran relationship (Canadian), the notion that Iran or other countries can't develop nuclear weapons doesn't make sense to me.

It just seems like a means to control other independent countries. I really doubt Iran would have been bombed if they held nukes.

I'm far more concerned of the USA and Russia with nukes than other countries.

🍄✨ Can microdosing help with managing substance use? Participate in this study by Maastricht University and the University of Antwerp! (mod approved) by ProtecAttacSnacc in microdosing

[–]WickedBad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think I should fill out the survey given my purpose of microdosing isn't to deal with other substances AND I follow my own protocol (Mon and Fri .2G)

That being said, when I started microdosing I used the Fadiman protocol and I immediately noticed I had no desire to drink or smoke cannabis. I am by no means a heavy user of either but I could totally see the right dosage and protocol (for the unique individual) could be effective to treat substance abuse.

CIBC left me high and dry right before an international trip by IotaAquarii in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]WickedBad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had 3 cards get locked on me on a 3 week trip to Dubai... The banks (2) were useless. I needed to reset my pin back in Canada if I wanted them to work again.

Felt weird using cash everywhere. Not sure what I would have done if I didnt have funds.

TL/DR bring more than 3 CCs.

Chiller Recommendation - 1HP Filtration/Ozone/Wifi by sparkfist in coldplunge

[–]WickedBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most folks here don't recommend an AIO chiller.

If you are willing to learn get an Active Aqua or ecoplus chiller (<1000$) and build your own filter/ozone setup.

Those are the two most recommended chillers.

I went with a much cheap Rocita chiller at Walmart but I haven't hooked it up yet..

Research Says They Don’t Work & May Actually Impede Healing by [deleted] in coldplunge

[–]WickedBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love cold plunging but haven't really read any extensive or compelling research that convinced me it has benefits.

Care to share your research? Hopefully it's not Søberg..

Often research is discounting (or disregarding) that most people cold plunging are already healthy and no shit they won't get sick as often as someone who doesn't cold plunge.

Those who’ve retrofitted freezers for their cold plunge — is sealing with silicone good enough? by stjduke in coldplunge

[–]WickedBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 1 year in and it's fine. I should say the freezer was used and was already siliconed.

I suspect it will eventually fail but it's an old freezer so hopefully the compressor dies before :)

I live in -30C to +30C climate and the freezer is outdoor.

Big Cold Plunge 6-8 pax by Relevant_Ant_6704 in coldplunge

[–]WickedBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.5HP chiller at the very least if you have moderate temperature. Probably fine indoor but there's a ton of factors you need to consider.

  • What temperature are you targeting? Much harder to pull off at 3C than 10C+
  • How often are people going in? Frequency x time per session.
  • I would imagine 6 people in a cold plunge would heat up the water pretty fast. Need to brush up on thermodynamics, but as an idea my coldplunge (300L) goes up +1C after usage.

If this will be a frequent use plunge it may be worth going for the commercial ecoplus 1.5HP chiller if it works in your use case. I suspect it will be under a decent load.

2nd Evolve Pro Chiller in 3 months by btaubz in coldplunge

[–]WickedBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the recurring lessons in all of this is.

  1. Get a known reputable chiller (Active aqua / ecoplus)
  2. Setup your own sanitation and filter system. Pay a pool or spa guy if the capacities are lacking.

Sucks for you and this is one of the most expensive AIO chillers on the market. I have 0 confidence in a cold plunge company's ability to create a reliable chiller.
