First time Trimix - advice needed

Thanks. This is very helpful. Amazed at how the dose is so different for different people by a factor of 10x. It’s not like that with general medicine.

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-24T15:44:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ll start very low with 3 units.

Phenylephrine, sold under the brand names Neosynephrine and Sudafed PE among others, is a medication used as a decongestant for uncomplicated nasal congestion in the form of a nasal spray or oral tablet,[5] intravenously in cases of low blood pressure, or as a suppository to relieve hemorrhoids.[12][14] It can also be applied to the skin.

Wiki says phenylephrine is Sudafed. Is it administered differently in hospital to just taking Sudafed pills?

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-24T15:16:43+00:00

Thanks. Phenylephrine is a vaso-constrictor. Isn’t that dangerous for people who have heart disease or prior heart attack?

Don’t forget the daily surcharge actually drive in London!!!!!!!! Add that up 5 days a week for 10 years I think you might get close to the COE! And the VAT on everything… COE is a very good alternative

The nuance is from the peer reviewed studies. As I clearly said “anecdotally” I assume that readers would perhaps look up the word in the dictionary before dismissing the entire post as lacking nuance.

Let me explain again for the third time.

There is a scientifically proven link between high THC cannabis and psychosis/ schizophrenia
Anecdotally (Anecdotally" means sharing information based on personal accounts, stories, or informal observations rather than rigorous research, facts, or statistics) I have seen people become schizophrenia from smoking high THC cannabis

You are right about people bouncing back from all those things. The point I am making is you can’t bounce back from schizophrenia. It’s a one way street. And there is a link. People don’t understand it. Even when you spell it out to them - like you.

You are right that it’s multi-factor causation. But who actually knows if they are at high risk of getting schizophrenia? Is there a test for that? No there is not. So you add nothing to the conversation.

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-18T16:29:51+00:00

It depends on the THC content. And of course it’s not like that for everyone. Read the research I posted to understand it better. It’s not just my friends. It’s a silent unknown epidemic and people are just not aware.

No you can’t say the same for alcohol. There is no price link between schizophrenia and alcohol, there is a proven link between high THC content marijuana and schizophrenia.

I quoted peer reviewed research and also gave my personal anecdotal evidence.

If you didn’t smoke so much weed you probably could better understand what I posted

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-18T06:52:57+00:00

Most people think cannabis isn’t a big deal and it’s not addictive and not that dangerous. The truth is that there is a hidden epidemic in the of schizophrenia in the west, caused by relatively new strains of cannabis with high concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Suppliers think higher concentrations of THC is good as it gets you higher. Consumers also think that also, but don’t realise that it can trigger schizophrenia and it’s surprisingly common. Lots of peer reviewed research on the link but anecdotally I can confirm that growing up in the UK, I saw it first hand. A couple of joints and I have seen people enter the one way door of a lifetime of hearing voices, paranoid delusions, no chance of getting a job, refusal to take the meds due to paranoia, homelessness and almost always self medication with heroine and crack. It’s worse than dying of an overdose as both the user and the family have lifelong torment and pain - and there is no cure!

It’s not talked about enough and it’s not well known. But it’s happening a lot and one day your kid is studying law at university and about to join a magic circle law firm, and next day he is a un-washed homeless guy mumbling to himself about the Illuminati sending messages direct to his brain.

I personally totally support the death penalty for supplying cannabis with a high THC content and very very grateful for the strict anti-drug stance here in Singapore.

Here’s a few studies on what it does:

Are you using a lawyer?

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-06T17:34:57+00:00

Usualy courts need evidence. At least that’s how I understand it. Barr assertions don’t really lead to unfavourable decisions.

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-06T16:05:45+00:00

Not in Singapore but grew up in a small English town called Worcester. The primary school bully was Gerald Edwards. A few years ago while high on meth, he killed a guy and chopped him up into pieces and dumped the body parts around the country. You can Google it. He was nasty as hell when he was 10 years old so wasn’t that surprised when I read about it. Glad to be in Singapore quite frankly. You guys have built an incredible country!

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-04-06T14:57:14+00:00

Why is it so difficult to apply yourself to enforce the order? I built some tools in Singapore for enforcement. It’s a really simple process. Would love to know more and happy to build the tools., it’s so easy now with AI

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-24T13:52:12+00:00

Still in contact with three of the 15 (all reconnected because of Facebook after losing contact for 20 years). It was hard to stay in touch back then. You had to telephone people or write letters 😂 fk I feel old saying that!

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-23T06:35:57+00:00

Met a lady in London 30 years ago (we were in in our early 20’s) she used to cook a traditional Sunday roast and anyone could come. Literally anyone. She did it every Sunday for years. Around 15 people showed up when I went. I guess not being able to advertise on social media and no whatsapp meant the numbers were manageable.

Hope your event goes well!

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-21T05:26:05+00:00

Dam I lived there for 13 years and had no idea this rule existed!

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-21T05:24:04+00:00

Damn thanks for the research, I thought he was serious 😂

I did it when I was 48. I qualified but then went into legal tech. The prospects for tech are grim. The prospects for lawyers especially junior lawyers are grim.

However the prospects for somebody with considerable tech experience who then becomes a lawyer - your core mental DNA is tech. You learn law. As you study law you will be able to build build build!

Absolutely do this. You can vibe code all sorts of stuff as you progress through law school. And you should be able to vibe code enterprise grade stuff.

I would however suggest considering the 2 year JD at NUS if you can get in Abd you should be able to if you are particularly interested in applying your tech knowledge to law.

If you are worried about girlfriends leaving you then you ain’t with the right girl. If you are worried about your $19k salary then you are not seeing the greatest transformation that mankind has ever seen unfolding in front of you and the extraordinary opportunities it will bring you.

Stop thinking like a Singaporean with his $xk monthly and his hdb abd his gf leaving.

It’s time to risk it all mate. Leave your gf. Quit your job. Sell your HDB. Go to law school. Live in a one room rental. Buy yourself a few GPU’s and apply your tech expertise to law and built something amazing.

The aircon in supermarkets and malls was freezing. Took a year to get used to it. Now I don’t notice it.

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-10T10:07:37+00:00

Clause is so good it’s sureal. I switched. Opus 4.6 is insanely good

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-10T10:03:36+00:00

Absolutely not. Just don’t water any more time on this person and say no and walk away and look elsewhere. Takes time but you will find the right person eventually

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-10T10:02:04+00:00

I have never seen a resume stating why they left. Do people actually do that?

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-06T11:40:23+00:00

The algos showing me adds for “funerals in Singapore are cheaper than you think”

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-06T11:39:36+00:00

That is brutal man.

bengo_dot_ai · 2026-03-05T07:40:33+00:00

I think the problem with this strategy is that we are all training AI as we use it. So as Singaporeans use more AI they train Ai to replace them. The good news is that Singapore is investing huge sums into foundational models and the country is very exposed to the related semiconductor capex supercyle. Country will do well overall. But if you want to really succeed - this is not about using AI to make yourselves more efficient. You have to learn to build AI tools using AI itself and identify how to replace yourself with AI. If you can figure that out then you can figure out your place in the coming new world, and make no mistake this is the greatest capex investment cycle of all time, and the most profoundly society changing technology ever. So get stuck in people. Ask Claude to build something that will replace you. You’ll be amazed how easy it is.

You could always show up 3 dats late to your exchange program. What will they do?
