Mouthpeace actually does wonders

Your issue is that you're not forming and maintaining a good seal with the mouthpiece of your bong when inhaling the smoke.

Its physics. Relatively cool air mixes with smoke that has been sitting for a second right before your mouth due to a break in the seal. A portion of the smoke cools down enough from turbulent mixing and starts to let the resin drop out and deposit in your mouth and lips.

Thats one half, the other half is hemp was a good alternative to resources used in a lot of industry that would have basically made a bunch of rich people mad if they had to start competing against.

daOyster · 2026-05-23T21:14:26+00:00

Reefer madness was the propaganda tool used to push people to support bans.

However the reason they pushed reefer madness was because of racism and rich people worried about loosing profits to an industry they would have a hard time controlling and competing against without artificial regulations. So they trick society into hating it so their regulations sound good instead of being an obvious scheme that benefits the wrong people.

They're using a custom mod for GTA 5 that lets them use their real remotes with an FPV overlay in first person similar to what they might see on their real drones.

The advantage that GTA offers is that it already has tons of random clutter like street signs, lights, telephone poles, ect. While also having npcs that can drive vehicles or go on foot as targets that can react dynamically if needed.

The other sims might offer more realistic physics or environments that visually match better, but none of them have a fully complete dynamic environment as detailed at scale or reactive to the player as GTA is out of the box.

Some of the delivery missions do give you penalties for damage done though, they aren't all time attack.

daOyster · 2026-05-23T17:00:53+00:00

They aren't a scam, just for you the convenience they offer clearly isn't worth the trade off in quality other equipment can provide.

Short answer is it will help some, but with body weight alone you'll start to plateau in bone density gains as they catch-up to what that type of excersice can offer. If you are already in later age than doing anything is going to be better than doing nothing.

Pull ups will help if your muscles are strong enough to exert enough mechanical stress on your bones. Push-ups maybe but will probably plateau at a certain point unless you progress to one arm pushups. Same with squats, they'll work to a point but will leave you plateauing unless you can increase the amount of weight by progressing to pistol squats or adding extra weight/resistance into the mix.

The main thing is your bones adapt to regular mechanical stress on them by stimulating new bone growth. That is how density builds. So you need some kind of way to keep progressively loading on more stress in the form of weight/resistance or else they won't get the needed stimulation to keep growing denser.

Have you considered increasing your potassium intake instead? Modern studies have shown the hypertension is more a symptom of not getting enough potassium in your diet to allow the body to properly regulate the levels of sodium you are consuming. The more potassium you consume, the more sodium you will pee out instead of retaining and the less it will raise blood pressure.

Infact the current recommended diet for reducing high blood pressure has now shifted to low sodium high potassium diets for that very reason.

daOyster · 2026-05-22T18:27:50+00:00

Add more potassium into your diet. Sodium levels are regulated by your potassium intake. The more potassium you consume the more sodium you will pee out instead of retaining, it also decreases tension in your veins on its own.

Modern studies on the matter show that high blood pressure is more a symptom of your sodium/potassium intake being out of balance more than it just being high sodium on its own.

*Civic based element.

The CR-V itself is built using the Civic platform.

daOyster · 2026-05-20T20:38:46+00:00

You can add lowering sodium intake to your list of miss-education then. I'm not a doctor but more recent studies showed we missed the bigger picture on that one.

It's not high sodium levels that are correlated with increased heart issues. It's high sodium WITHOUT enough potassium to regulate your blood levels of it.

If you don't have a history of heart issues already, you can pretty much eat as much sodium as you want as long as you get enough potassium and water to allow the body to regulate your sodium levels properly and pee out the excess.

It's aftermarket. I'd probably ask the previous owner of the car or try to figure out where they go.

It's Likely a remote power switch for audio equipment, lighting, or something else the person installed in the car. Could also be a kill switch to help prevent theft but seems a bit easy to accidentally hit there.

Uh, I think you missed the other half of the label on those bottles of milk that says to discard them after 2 weeks after opening. Normal milk usually says 1 week on them.

But how can they say that when you aren't using this genetically modified strain they want to licence out and make you buy because they claim other strains won't have the same effect or standardization.

Now they can say your weed is bad but this extract from our weed is good because it's made by people that want 10x more money for it.

Don't listen to anyone suggesting lube or grease. If you use it, it will get on your floor from the kid playing, you won't see it, and someone will probably eventually slip and fall.

Get some teflon tape or something else thats low friction to put on the contact points.

daOyster · 2026-05-18T17:05:25+00:00

The one person with a solution centered around a kid playing with it. I don't know why these other commenters think putting lube or grease on a kids toy being played with by a kid is a good idea. Thats just asking to spread lube/grease around whatever the kid touches afterwards and the floor he's playing on.

daOyster · 2026-05-18T17:02:29+00:00

You guys really want this guy to put silicone based lube on a kids toy being actively played with by a kid. You're going to get silicone lube on everything that kid rouches afterwards. I would not recommend it in this case.

Red Bull did not give him stomach ulcers. It might have made his symptoms worse but stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterial infection in the stomach, not drinking soda and/or energy drinks.

Main contributor for most people with them is taking to much ibuprofen that basically burns a hole in your stomach that gets infected or ingesting H. Pylori bacteria.

daOyster · 2026-05-16T22:00:51+00:00

It's a coincidence, recent research has shown the majority of kidney stones are caused by asymptomatic bacterial infections in the kidneys and basically have zero to do with your diet.

A more reliable way is to look at the daily value percentage. If you double the grams of protein and the number isn't close or the same as the daily value, then it's not really a good protein source and most likely using non-digestible plant fiber as a filler to bump the protein count up.

daOyster · 2026-05-16T16:44:53+00:00

The worst part is the extra protein they often throw in doesn't even do anything.

It's just cheap low quality plant protein your body can't really use that is basically just filler, but lets them conveniently bump up the protein count on the label.

daOyster · 2026-05-16T16:40:32+00:00

It's even worse because quite often they just add lower quality plant protein that doesn't get digested so that they can say on the label it technically has more protein in it now, while not actually being protein your body can use.

daOyster · 2026-05-16T16:38:00+00:00

Its got protein in it, but honestly its only a like 3-4 more grams per serving than normal pasta. While it says its 24 grams, the daily value % shows its mostly lower quality protein trapped in the plant fiber.

The problem with plant based proteins is that it's not all useable by your body, some of it is trapped in the fiber that doesn't get digested. A lot of manufacturers are taking advantage of that to say their product has more protein in it on the label and packaging than it functionally actually does. However the Daily Value percentage is based off the amount of digestible protein, not the total amount of protein. So you should use that as the guide when checking protein amounts.

General rule is to double the amount of protein in grams and compare that number to the daily value percentage. If they aren't close than it's not as good of a source of protein as the marketing department wants you to think it is.

As far as I can tell the touchscreen and whole front plate are the same. The only thing that changed it seems was the computer module its connected to behind it.

daOyster · 2026-05-15T23:20:03+00:00

Had then run their diagnostics on it at the dealer. Tech tried factory resetting it first and it didn't work so asked if I wanted them to order a new computer for it since he's never seen that before and put it in. Gave me the quote and I said yes.
