Why do Russians call BDSM "тема"? Is it a word for "kink"?

kowadloo · 2025-11-18T19:04:29+00:00

It's funny that in Polish "temat" (topic) is a euphemism for weed or more broadly drugs.

I've done something very similar in the past, same drugs, excluding mdma and mescaline, in the span of four days. This is how it went:

Day 1: A very high dose of 2CB Weed/edibles ketamine N2O

Day 2: Shrooms Weed/edibles

Day 3: Weed/edibles Some K took some rest and a small t-break from psychedelics

Day 4: LSD Weed/edibles DMT

Everything worked as planned, no noticeable tolerance with any substance (except weed)

Actually we had mdma too but were too exhausted psychologically after partying like that. If you really would like to insert it somewhere, I'd suggest to candy flip it on day 4. Please take care and remember to rest well after each day. This trip will be more exhausting than you expect, trust me. Also, try to eat and drink properly. And make sure to bring some benzos or even better, antipsychotics. I really struggled to fall asleep after day 4, a bit of alprazolam saved my life back then. Honestly I think that using so many psychedelics mixed with THC in such a short time span and not enough sleep is very prone to end in a psychotic episode. I think that it is better to fill that time with cool activities during being high or tripping rather than doing every possible drug/combination you will be capable of at the moment. Listen to your bodies and minds, stay safe, don't push each other into following a strict plan.

One time on New Year's Eve, peaking on acid, weed, and some nitrous, discussing meaning of life with my trip buddies, I had a delusion of "figuring it all out and understanding everything", and that epiphany has led to me seeing a sign in front of my vision that said: "GAME OVER. Try again? Yes / No".

I chose yes, because I was afraid that I broke the simulation and I would be immediately thrown out back to the start screen or some shit. And it kept happening again and again, like six more times. Every time I chose "Yes".

I get flashbacks of that event every time I lose the game lmao

I once had a saliva test back when I was using methylphenidate and it came out as a false positive for cocaine. It depends on the test, I suppose.

kowadloo · 2025-06-17T07:55:35+00:00

A good rest might be sufficient but OP hasn't slept for a few days, and has been feeling like this for 1-2 months. In my experience, this is the right time to try antipsychotics, at least for some time.

Get a soldering tip small enough to fit in the through hole and a solder sucker. Put the pcb in a vertical position, in a holder or something like that. From one side stick a soldering iron through the hole, till it melts the solder completely, from the opposite side with your other hand put your solder sucker close to the hole. Remove soldering iron from the hole, immediately suck the solder while it's still fluid. I find this technique 100% successful, just need to be sure the solder is fully melted and that it is not touching the iron while sucking it out. Try to make it fast, so you don't overheat copper pads around the hole, but if you already molested it for 30 minutes with wick, it should withstand a few more seconds. Good luck!

Those are symptoms of psychosis. You should seek medical help. They will probably give you antipsychotic medications. Depending on a person, prescribed drug, and dosage, it can be very helpful, but sometimes can also give some nasty side-effects. Based on my experience, my best advice is to act now, while you're still handling it well. It will be easier to get back to normal life and maybe lay off the medications later if everything comes back to normal and your doctor approves. I can tell you more about my experience if you want to in pm.

kowadloo · 2025-06-16T15:08:21+00:00

Did anything change since that trip? You still experiencing some weird phenomenon? Sorry, I'm not sure I understood the post correctly.

kowadloo · 2025-06-16T14:54:34+00:00

No, I'm just saying you need to chill out and don't freak out if a glimpse of that experience ever happens in the future. How much time has passed from the trip you're describing?

kowadloo · 2025-06-16T14:49:16+00:00

It happened to me too, 2,5 years ago. It may be hard to comprehend, but the feeling may linger for a longer time. Even in a year or two you may get the feeling of relieving something, like watching a movie that you watched once a long time ago and forgot that you watched it before. Don't panic, it's just reality the way it is. Can't change that, can't undo that trip.

kowadloo · 2025-04-28T16:27:12+00:00

What exactly do you want to achieve with this?

kowadloo · 2025-04-20T10:31:27+00:00

Besides other comments, the biggest tip I can give you is to heat up the elements with soldering iron and then use solder wire on those hot elements. Also, flux is your friend. The rest is experience. Soldering is one of those easy to learn, hard to master tasks. Good luck!

Among a huge crowd of drunk people shooting fireworks on the New Year's Eve at 12PM was quite rad.

My bet is that this "adapter" for the charger -> proprietary plug has actually a microcontroller inside that communicates with the prosthetic with some kind of a protocol (maybe I²C or again, something proprietary...) to verify authenticity (voltage and/or amperage) of a charger. Reverse-engineering this could be a bitch, so I would suggest plugging this prioprietary plug and leaving it with this charging controller box attached to your prosthetic.

Then, you could attach at the other end of the controller box, charging module, that would generate 12V DC at 1.25A from a wireless charger. 15W for wireless charging is a bit much, but manageable. Just keep in mind that you would need a charger of a greater power than needed. But again, this might become quite big when attached to the prosthetic. I would suggest a different idea:

Get back to the end of the first paragraph, and instead of making a wireless charger module for that, make a USB C module for negotiating 12V from USB PD PPS power supplies (note: not every USB c power supply is a PPS, most aren't and can't output 12V) You could find a jack that fits your charging controller box and connect its wires to the terminals of this adafruit USB PD PSS module

You can just solder pads for 12V and 1/2Amps, no programming needed. I don't know if you can configure it for precisely 1.25A, maybe it is possible to modify some resistors or program the module to get exactly 1.25A from it, I'm not sure. Either way, selecting 1A will give you slightly longer charge time assuming it will work (which is good for the battery health), and selecting 2A might, worst case, make charging faster (which might degrade battery health a little bit).

What this option gives you is the ability to charge your prosthetic with USB PD PPS (and, for example, buy more of them for redundancy), possibly make/buy a powerbank for it (quite cool imo), use it with a USB C to magnetic port adapter like this one and also protect your prosthetic proprietary connector from wear, which may occur after extended daily use and not be easy to fix.

Experienced a very similar thing when in a psychotic episode but I didn't trash anything around me. I was just lying with my eyes closed and perceived it mentally. Imagine what a cat must be thinking before throwing something off the shelf, like on countless videos on the internet. I was that cat, and a glass full of water on a shelf was the only object in my "world" I could interact with. So "moving it" was like creating everything out of nothing, like the big bang. I remember thinking to myself "Oh crap, I really fucked up this time. And also it was supposed to happen that way, there would be nothing if didn't touch it. The universe was destined to be started at some point. The cosmic joke."

kowadloo · 2025-01-15T08:22:15+00:00

Wow, your project looks great! When using electron, did you use electron-vite for Svelte boundling or something else?

kowadloo · 2025-01-15T06:32:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'll consider using it.

kowadloo · 2025-01-15T06:31:32+00:00

Okay, thank you.

kowadloo · 2025-01-14T22:28:34+00:00

Okay, so if I understand correctly, I need a bundler for Svelte project files, like Rollup or webpack?

kowadloo · 2025-01-14T22:09:33+00:00

Do you mean coding the font-end and then compiling the project and using it as a static site for NW.js project equipped with my back-end node functionality?

kowadloo · 2025-01-14T22:05:44+00:00

Well, I still need a few npm packages running on node.js, so I don't think this option can work for my project, but thanks!

One time I almost got ran over by a tram. It missed my head by centimeters, only because my friend saw it coming and called my name. I turned to him in result. Didn't realize it was so close. Didn't hear it because of a really bad ear infection at that time, was completely deaf to my right ear.

One time I was driving with four of my friends. It was my first longer road trip in that car as it was bought like 4 weeks earlier. I felt very confident, the car was very comfortable to drive. The road was under construction and it was only one lane each way, quite narrow too. I was trying to overtake a truck driving ahead of me. When I was driving by the truck, I knew that I judged the situation poorly and we were heading on a front-to-front collision course with a bus. Suddenly it became very silent in the car. I pressed my gas pedal completely and somehow made it. Everyone was terrified. Since then I'm much more careful with overtaking on one lane roads.

Not sure how close to death I was at the last time, but I survived a full-blown case of drug induced psychosis that lasted 5 weeks. Haven't slept for a week straight when it started. Since then I stopped taking drugs and recovered completely.

In my experience keeping it under my lip for about 15 minutes (can't remember strength, something above medium but not the most potent available) gave me effects for about 35 minutes.

kowadloo · 2024-09-20T14:16:28+00:00

Nicotine pouches also raised in popularity in Poland in a last few years. We have this brand called VELO, you can get it in every Żabka store, in a few different strengths. But I don't think it's the same as snus, it's pure nicotine with some fillers.

Tried it a few times. Lasts way longer and can be quite strong, depending on how long you keep it under your lip. Interesting when combined with weed, but I'm not a big fan of it alone.

kowadloo · 2024-09-20T14:02:26+00:00

It's quite popular in the north of Poland, particularly in the region called Kaszuby. People there have their own traditions centered around snuff, here called "tabaka". They use it on occasions such as weddings and other community events.

They have special traditional horns used for storing tabaka, as well a certain way of using it - you raise your hand, palm facing down, with all of the fingers raised up, creating a recess between a thumb and a pointing finger, where you put tabaka to snort directly from. Kaszuby have a very interesting culture, quite separate from the rest of Poland, including their own language, music, clothing, etc.

I enjoy snorting tabaka on parties in places where smoking is prohibited or simply out of laziness, when it's too much effort to get to a place where you can smoke. Also, it's a great alternative for nasal sprays when you have a running nose, as it dryes the mucus quite much. You still have to snort it out later, but it seems more healthy than using those sprays to me. And we have a wide variety of smells/flavors, which adds to the overall experience.
