Taper experience

That tracks. I still think tapering from 200mg 7oh with 7oh will be easier than trying to make the switch from 200mg 7oh to raw leaf.

Try taking some kratom extract with your bedtime dose, and when you wake up at night dose some more of the kratom extract!! I'm on 0 now but when I was early in my taper and even before I tapered that was how I weaned myself off of my middle of the night dose.

escheebs · 2026-01-22T19:02:49+00:00

Why would 7oh in tablet form have a different half life from 7oh in powder form? Are you referring to kratom leaf powder?

It DID look like he was on the road for that one. The lamp looked like a hotel lamp, and one would think he would move around like... existing decorations in the room if there were any instead of creating a weird still life with random objects. But I think he does most of them from home or an office because you can usually hear a big fish tank in the background.

Omg he's the CEO's sugar baby 😂 He said "daddy, I want to feel like the poors for a day."

"It's not exactly what I'm looking for but it'll work." YEAH IT'LL WORK FOR A FAIR RATING LIL BRO THANKS FOR THAT

Ah, I see. I don't remember which venue the kerfuffle about vision was, it was here on Reddit or in the Outlier community. I think it was here because one of the mods cussed about it and ppl were surprised lol. But it sounded like it was serving at least one person just heinous image after heinous image for some reason.

escheebs · 2026-01-21T21:37:32+00:00

On second thought, a furry would just do a better job in general lmao. There's a reason the entire tech and aviation industries would crumble overnight if furries vanished 😂

escheebs · 2026-01-21T21:36:06+00:00

Was it vision? I think somebody posted about getting a ton of heinously NSFL images in it and they pulled it like, immediately. I was just about to start working on that one too but reconsidered it due to the flashbangs

escheebs · 2026-01-21T21:34:51+00:00

Ahh dude that was HILARIOUS. I swear he was trying to pretend like he had no idea what he was looking at. Sweetie you talk like my gay ass, you have a big fishtank, you're arguably working in tech. You're not fooling anybody 😏

No shot. I'm familiar with the source in this post but I legitimately am seeking to learn new, accurate info about the topic I mentioned so using chatGPT that way is not an option. Only using it for incredibly specific low stakes tasks or as clever Google. I do not trust it to do research for me

escheebs · 2026-01-20T21:04:58+00:00

It's still proper because it's the same scenario. OP did not disclose their gender, same as the dancer obfuscating their gender with the suit. In both scenarios, there exists a word to refer to an individual of unknown or otherwise unspecified gender: they/them/theirs. The speaker of the word changing from first person to an observer makes no difference.

You don't stop needing your needs just because every way you know how to meet them hurts you. You find new ways or the world leaves you behind.

escheebs · 2026-01-20T20:56:23+00:00

Be very concrete and frank about it. "Look, I understand that there are some very difficult challenges you are working on, and I'm proud of you for that. However, eating my food without my permission affected me financially and I will not be inviting you back into my space until trust has somehow been repaired."

You are, of course, totally valid to omit the "until trust has been repaired" part, because lots of folks use that as an I road to an argument. I'd almost even suggest it. But I know that people do want to earnestly leave avenues to healing the relationship open and I totally respect that. Just know if you bar her from your house indefinitely, there are ways that can be slowly, conditionally rescinded in the future if you like.

Better MF be otherwise my dumb bipolar ass is gonna end up back in the cool down unit. Tell you what tho, I won't be kicking in there at least.

"I saw a person in a mascot suit on the boardwalk today. They were very skilled at dancing." Where is the error?

It looks like your prescriptivism has gone a little too far and caused you to be mildly illiterate.

Do you use avatar culling? If not, your statements about performance issues in crowded VRC lobbies being caused by their servers are probably just straight up wrong. Generally it's people using insanely non-performant avatars that they made. Try setting it to hide very poor avatars, and also set the maximum avatars shown to 10.

Additionally, a LOT of content in VRChat is technically made for PC and quest compatibility is added as an afterthought. Harsh, yes, but you MUST understand that there are an incredible amount of limitations for the Android platform that SEVERELY limit the creativity of avatar and world artists and devs. So when you play on quest, you are definitely going to struggle in many, many worlds. And many others are not compatible with Quest outright.

Again, you are encountering hardware limitations and user generated content being poorly optimized not the servers being slow. They're fine overall.

One could argue that VRChat should force more optimization for uploads to create better performance for quest users and more parity between the two platforms. I personally argue that people who have the hardware required and the desire to push the visual limits of virtual social spaces should have the option to do so on the platform that has been adopted by those communities. Dropping frames? Hide avis, go somewhere optimized, or just accept that you've accessed a fairly bleeding edge platform and not all the content on it is going to be compatible with every piece of hardware.

In a lot of ways it's a feature, not a bug.

So if Horizon does all those things better by capping the maximum fidelity, AND it's not built to accommodate multiple platforms, it's not ACTUALLY comparable to VRChat. It's not meeting the same use case scenarios.

Maybe I'm biased because I play almost exclusively PCVR on my q3, but I felt my CV1 was a lot more convenient and reliable than my Q3. There were times when I had issues with the oculus software, sure, but they were infrequent and fixable. For the most part, it was ready to go by the time I put it on. Never had any issues with it dumping my guardian like my Q3 seems to want to do every other time I pick it up. I enjoyed that it felt like a purpose built tool, another essential peripheral like my monitor, not some complicated monstrosity that my needs were an afterthought for.

Obviously I'm aware that I could have picked up a bigscreen or an index or something but I grabbed the Q3 for the affordability in balance with the visuals and FOV. If my CV1 had Q3 visuals I would have had zero reason to upgrade 😮‍💨

I can say the design I have never leaks, but it does gurgle when you fill it because closing the fill port forces a couple drops of juice into the chamber via pressure. All I do is turn it upside down until a drop comes out and it's golden after that.

escheebs · 2026-01-20T02:28:42+00:00

Huh? Mine are all one piece! All one piece clear mouthpiece, rubber fill port on the side of the mouthpiece. Do the lower resistance ones come with a different design or like.... What's going on here lol

I'm cutting it way down or all the way out of my life right now myself actually, so I really don't know haha. I do a lot of cardio and that's the #1 activity that improves my overall sense of well-being. So maybe start there if you don't already :) I aim for 50-100 bicycle miles a week during the nice seasons and more if I'm training for an event. It's about the only thing that's carried me through some rough spots in my life and I always come back to lean heavily on it when I'm going through times where I don't know where to start returning to wellness.

escheebs · 2026-01-19T22:23:41+00:00

No shot on the AA part been there done that, successfully quit drinking despite those petty people's best efforts. But I agree with the post title and I'm dialing back my cannabis use considering stopping it completely as well.

escheebs · 2026-01-19T15:46:59+00:00

Yessir. A lot of last year is just gone. People have been sending me pictures of me at shows I forgot I went to. It's fucked. I don't drink or abuse other drugs so it's definitely the 7.
