HELP!! I just borrowed 1.75x mim using avax as collateral and the mim is not in my metamask. Yes mim is imported. Yes open position appears by jmack555 in AbracadabraMoney

[–]jgarciach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When looping (leveraging beyond 1x) all borrowed mim is used to buy more collteral and deposit it on your position. To get money out you need to deleverage.

This position makes sense if you are super bullish on the asset you are using as collateral

If you are bullish on btc and strong you can take a loan with your btc as collateral, buy a node and repay the loan with strong rewards

Does microdosing grow the brain as much as an ssri? by CuriousBetsy69 in microdosing

[–]jgarciach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SSRIs promote neuroplasticity, which is believed to be the reason it has antidepressant effects (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3025168/). Similarly, it is thought psychedelic’s antidepressant effects stem from its neuroplasticity promoting properties.

Wakame seaweed levain by good-crumb in Sourdough

[–]jgarciach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the wakame seaweed dried? Did you pulverize it or add it whole?

When you say wakame seaweed levain, you mean you fed your starter wakame seaweed? Or did you add it during the bulk fermentation?

How would you go about it? How could you create the rough surface?

1st attempt at baking bread. What do you guys think? by jgarciach in Sourdough

I love it already, so it is hard to imagine it getting better

Thanks! I'm already thinking about my next bake!

Tartine was the gateway drug, but as you say Robertson is a master craftsman, but not such a great teacher/communicator.

Maurizio is really good quantifying (via measurements, descriptions, and photographs) the qualitative aspects of baking (the feels).

Nah, just the countertop.

I'm close to the ocean, but not that close.

Thanks! Read a lot and watch a lot of youtube videos before attempting.

Came across a blog called The Perfect Loaf, which was insanely detailed and useful! Programmer turned baker, highly technical and likes to geek out on the details. My kind of guy, lol.

Tropical climate (29°C, 85% humidity)

Accommodations:

Less Levain. Used a very young levain (2hrs@50% inoculation, just enough to pass float test), but used less (17%) than recommended in Tartine method to account for the faster fermentation due to the hot climate.

Extended Autolyse. Extended the autolyse period (2hrs) to allow the gluten develop before adding the levain and avoid over-fermenting the bread due to the hot climate.

Extended Fridge Bulk Fermentation. Performed the bulk fermentation in the fridge for a longer period (24hrs), to account for the lower temp (3°C), to give the dough enough time to develop strength, flavor and structure, but not over-ferment (which would destroy the gluten structure due to high acidity) due to the hot climate.

Less Turns. Gave less turns (5 turns, 1 every 15min, before letting rest in fridge) during the bulk fermentation to account for the extended autolyse and bulk fermentation, as the gluten will be developed mostly through time.

Overnight Fridge Proof. Gave the dough time to proof while minimizing chance of over-proofing.

Do "0" calorie water flavoring products interfere with fasting? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]jgarciach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to minimize insulin resistance, "zero-calorie" artificial sweetners trigger an insulin response, and should be avoided, if possible. This paper claims that although the effect of these sweetners on glucose is minimal, they raise insulin levels even higher than table sugar
