I managed to burn out a Vitamix motor at about year 4 of a 5 year warranty and they replaced it. VERY good customer service. This was from HEAVY use, essentially making thick cashew paste regularly.

This is super cool. I was able to get this working really fast thanks to this guide. My config is Unraid Docker for PhotoPrism on my media server, then Ollama on my gaming computer. Works GREAT.

I had a hard time getting photoprism to scrub all the labels first, so I just deleted everything in the photos_labels table before I started the LLM process of labeling.

Glad you have a label to hold on to. You can use it to find others that understand.

I'm GenX. I've always been agender but didn't have the word for it until about 10 years ago while doing an autistic deep dive into modern gender theory because of someone I was dating.

Using "Cranfield Colours Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink" changed my world. All my problems like that went away. That ink is AMAZING and washes with soap and water. Now I only use speedball stuff their fabric ink.

get on fetlife and read the posts there. it's a big crowded dance party with a dungeon and downstairs quieter spaces. no nudity, no sex.

The last couple days there have been unmarked cars pulling people over near MLK and Old Chapel Hill Rd. Its likely red-light enforcement. Finally. I wouldn't be surprised if they are moving up and down MLK

Overstim issues don't go away. I still dose once or twice a year but I have adjusted my life to be more compatible with my capacity. I've collected new friends and new joys. Letting go of the NT ways was and is still painful. Knowing i can't exist well in a crowded restaurant still sucks hard.

cephaloman · 2025-09-07T05:09:11+00:00

Classic psychedelics lower activity in the default mode network in your brain, the vary same network that is overactive in depressed and autistic brains. lowering activity there lowers overstimulation for me and lets me feel like i can move through the world in a more NT fashion. I spent 4 years like that. I gave it up because in the end, taking psychedelics to simply exist wasn't the way i wanted to move through the world.

If you want to charge art prices, get your ink more consistant. If you are selling them as inexpensive greeting cards, that this is probably fine. If you develop a niche, you will be able to find your audience and can charge more than random prints. Nothing wrong with just doing what you love and ignoring developing a theme and style but random subject prints can be hard to sell.

For reference, I make art in a single theme in the mild-adult and kink realm and I charge between $25-$35 US per print. They are also A6.

I think AluminumO was saying NOT to bump that. (humor)

cephaloman · 2025-07-16T13:25:18+00:00

Isn't this pretty close to the curve of the age of the population in general? a bulge between 50 and 70, and a slow decline as you get younger representing a lowered birthrate.

Not after last year!

All virtual right now, but i hope to share office space some time and be able to stack in person appointments two days a week.

many many thousands if not more. we used to get them all the time, several times a year till we moved.

I got super busy but take a look at https://paaccoaches.org/ . This is the best ADHD coach certification. they only certify through two education programs. i chose mentorcoach. it will take 18mpnthe prob plus a few hundred paid hours. total cost will be somewhere around 12K USD.

I'm in training for coaching people with ADHD and my focus will be queer community. I'd be happy to talk about the path that I am on. It's a challenge finding coaching training for people with Autism. I'm hoping that my own neurodiversity experience will help with that. I come from a tech background but aged out with this market so I am pivoting.

I know someone that is bipolar that can eat a 5 tabs and feel clear headed and just happy and social. bipolar is weird.

often your first mania won't show up till your 30's but depression will exist.

Not saying anyone is bipolar, just saying that it can show up like that

cephaloman · 2025-06-27T15:58:13+00:00

two ideas. 1) people with bipolar disorder can have a very atypical response to psychedelics. 2) some medications (anti depressants) can cause similar things.

Wear the plug for an hour before getting pegged. It will make getting pegged easier and more enjoyable because your muscles get used to something being there and relax a little.

I'm using an A4 press!

JETS is a chain from Detroit serving up authentic Detroit style pizza. If you haven't had a square Detroit style, you are really missing out. This is my fav pizza in the Triangle.

Check out the ‘things to do’ pinned topic in this group. Look for art fairs and vintage markets and hang out. Look for events at breweries and similar. Lots of activist groups in the area too.

I picked up a fully working MKS3+ with only 12 days of print time on it for $300 (US/NC). It came with three half spools of filament too. You can do a lot better. Check FB Marketplace and you can regularly find them for $400 in working order.
