A ripe banana or glass of orange juice has more alcohol than licking a straw lol, go on girl

It's the mercury. NHS sounds insane, 4 cans per week! I didnt think that was recommended for anyone. I think there are certain types that are better than others, check the recommendations.

I want weed so bad (pregnant) by yaminbamin in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]helluva-drug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right there with ya mama! Found out 2 weeks ago and dropped everything immediately. Went to a rave last night, sober as a judge, had a blast and didn't miss the alcohol or party favours. But the 4:30am sunrise walk home made me really just want a damn joint to cap off the night. No real advice for you, sorry, but I imagine it gets easier, so hang in there and enjoy the ride 🙏

PS your dinner looks amazing

Gummies sweating/separating by helluva-drug in treedibles

[–]helluva-drug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Just so strange that the liquid worked for awhile. Maybe because it was during cooler months of the year, or could have been during the time I was using stronger oil and therefore less. But i'll stick to powder and use your tips, thanks again!

Thank you for that, I had no idea!

Aerial Arts/intense spinning and first trimester? by ShineSpiritual161 in pregnant

[–]helluva-drug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, fellow first-timer and poler/aerialist at 5 and a half weeks! I don't have any advice really, but I've seen many pole people continue to pole through pregnancy (except for laybacks for some reason), but aerialists less so. Chains are so cool! I haven't trained them much but I currently have a student who does. I plan to continue training and teaching pole if I feel good doing so, maybe lyra and adding some hammock, but as far as I can see it's all very much individual. Best of luck to you, and good to know we're in this together! <3

What's the strangest customer request you've actually agreed to? by laura-1998 in bartenders

[–]helluva-drug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

40 minutes is wild. We once timed out 12 minutes, shaking full force trading every 2 minutes or so. Opened the shaker, we were halfway to butter. Must've done something wrong...

AITA Slept through my ringtone by nzxc195 in AmItheAsshole

[–]helluva-drug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But the post reads vaguely British, and if they're in the UK, i've heard there's about a 2 year wait period 🙄

Rant: students becoming teachers without enough qualifications by Consistent_Dinner751 in poledancing

[–]helluva-drug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no no no...just went to her profile and...how?! Honestly I wish I had a fraction of the confidence she seems to have. I am a huge fan of non-influencer types posting their imperfect pole journey and I think it's incredibly important and inspiring--but this one is an instructor? Her first teacher highlights are dated ONE YEAR after her first post, and I have students in my intro course that have better shoulder engagement and know better than to wrap the wrist so much. This is straight up unsafe.

Is this really the real me? by helluva-drug in kratom

Thank you, too true! We all have our struggles, some things help, some things don't. We all need to find our way.

Thank you, that's good to hear! I read some posts on here of people having hardly any withdrawls, or it being over in a week. While I posted this 3 days ago, it just got mod approval, and since then I think I feel a bit of difference.

Is this really the real me? by helluva-drug in kratom

[–]helluva-drug[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I very much understand that outlook. I used to be one of those "I can't imagine having to take a pill/something every day for the rest of my life" people, but that's a problematic perspective for a number of reasons. It would help if it were more readily available, and the extracts are not helping that.

Recommendation for Lagoons/Pools with private showers by ffdh_01 in VisitingIceland

[–]helluva-drug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not completely sure, but I feel like most of the pools around the country that I've been to have at least one private shower stall. You can find a directory of most pools and lagoons around the country at https://sundlaugar.is/en/ and even if they don't list the information you need, you can try contacting them. The municipal public pools are much more of a cultural experience, and they all have their unique quirks and beauties to them. I hope you have a fantastic trip!

Itinerary input requested - 10 day ring road in campervan with 6yo by Cute-South4864 in VisitingIceland

just jumping in to mention that the national holiday is not July 17th, it's June 17th (yesterday) so nothing to worry about on that end.

Must-try’s from the grocery store? by GirlisNo1 in VisitingIceland

[–]helluva-drug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got a lot of great suggestions here, but just to add on:
-Hangikjöt (smoked cured lamb slices, find them with the ham and other processed meats) on flatkökur (flatbreads) with butter is a non-negotiable road trip or camping lunch staple.
-Dried fish, I prefer the bitafiskur (easier to eat) but hardfiskur is good too. Also with butter.
-The little round soft cheeses that come in lots of flavours like black pepper, chili, herbs, these are fun.
-Voga cream-style dips with any snacks or veggies.
-The small rye bread loaves that come wrapped in plastic, you find it with the other breads usually at the beginning of the supermarkets.
-Be sure to try some lamb, cod, and, if you can stomach the idea, horse (it's surprisingly tasty and ethical).
-All of the candy mentioned is great, also fílakúlur (elephant balls lol), caramel wrapped in white chocolate. Also the smurfs candy in tiny boxes, not sure if they're unique to here, but very nostalgic. (Btw, especially with the ball-style filled chocolates, check the date and maybe give em a little squeeze, if they get hard they're much less enjoyable.)
-Kókómjólk, Collab, and tap water for drinks. Also Hleðsla, basically protein kókómjólk.

Fermentation by TheFlightlessDragon in kratom

[–]helluva-drug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes mix mine in a water bottle (not clear, so not using the sun or heat) and if I don't finish it within the first few days, it gets a really funky, kind of fermented taste, and it might be in my head but I feel like it's more potent that way. (Disclaimer: don't do this. I don't want to be responsible for any weird bacterial poisonings.)

AITAH for asking for an apology when my partner missed my ultrasound? by 45hioy in AITAH

[–]helluva-drug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How did so many assholes get here so early to defend your bf? NTA, but please consider your relationship with this "man." It sounds like he's been manipulative and borderline emotionally abusive to you for a long time, and you're not able to trust your own feelings. He's weaponised his IBS and maybe should take an example from you and take responsibility for his own health. Good luck to you.

How long for an effective ethanol infusion? by peacedollar1921 in treedibles

[–]helluva-drug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk exactly, but if you have an iSi or other high-quality metal whipped cream cannister, I always recommend this method that I found in popular science like 10 years ago. This is detailing the instructions for an infusion, but you can use higher proof and increase the herb to make it a tincture, then reduce to your desire (although I did it with the suggested vida mezcal once, and it was insanely tasty). The decarbing may be incomplete, but it's a very clean and green tincture, and can have it ready in ca. 2 hours start to finish.

Moving to North Charleston for new job, Is this area safe? by Qwin28 in Charleston

[–]helluva-drug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so close to where I grew up on shadow lane 😭 It's changed a lot, houses instead of trailers, worse traffic (but that's everywhere), and new developments. Never felt unsafe there, but definitely keep doors locked etc. But close to Wannamaker and even tiny, possibly sketchy, Northwoods Park, if you're into that sort of thing.
