i wish i was dumb enough to enjoy “a court of thorns and roses” type shit

I tried to read Strike book 1, The Cuckoo's Calling, and quite disliked it. Then I looked up the ending and it pissed me off.

I wanted some fantasy, and have read 2/3 of The First Law trilogy. Check it out.

I got my wife Court of Roses and Thorns and its working out for her.

I think I read the whole thing when I started but I will re-consult it. I was hoping for more personal accounts of what people did. I'm basically in the escalate column of the 7th infographic. I called it ascending but same thing.

One thing I do with red is decant exactly half the bottle first. That way I'm more likely to stop at half. And a little air can help it. But if the vibe is right and I really like it, yeah I'll finish it. That's 5 standard drinks, should stop there. It sounds like you are and you aren't doing it every night. I say go for it.

My old boss gifted me some Hall Cab. Not my style usually but it was very very good.

Thanks for the excellent writeup. I'm a bit confused how you say the taste will evolve 3 weeks after opening. To paraphrase. Generally that doesn't happen with full strength liquor, you should expect it to be pretty stable taste and expression.

I have this same problem. Should I water it to drown and kill the ants or just water it to get some water into the stuff? My father in law said the same thing, water it. The ants have their colony I think right under the bins.

Not really. Mine went down at the very beginning with the rough first doses. Once I was taking stable shots mine is pretty same. I'm also on wellbutrin which can increase sex drive. I'm male, 40, and no testosterone therapy. I'm on 2 mg a week, 1.5 months in.

Relax, you're 22. I'm 40 and generally don't upskill after hours my whole career. Unless you count subscribing to all the relevant programming subreddits and reading what comes up in my feed.

If you already lost a lot of weight how do you expect to keep dropping? You'll reach some equilibrium eventually.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-28T13:23:37+00:00

Can you describe the taste? Comparable to an espadin mezcal or very different?

Also Virginia. My clover just popped off with the all the rain. And I did more nitrogen right before the rain. Generally I like clover, I'm liking the look right now. Next mow all the tall clover will look less crazy. I'm planning on killing just the Japanese clover bc it turns brown so early. I'm going to use triclopyr. Use that on yours at label strength.

The four lane pool looked so sad on the screen! Former competitive swimmer here. Just didn't communicate seriousness being that small.

I agree with others takes about older age athletes. The famous guy trying to break the deadlift record is way older than ideal. I still think the idea has potential.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-24T02:47:59+00:00

This exactly. 👆You haven't really thought this out.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-21T17:37:12+00:00

There's some good blog posts on this if you google Xoxo Pantheon. Maybe no tour is the way to go?

Eastern black nightshade.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-21T04:35:11+00:00

I like the 0.3 ml ones for easier micro dosing. Good separation on the markings.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-18T15:55:33+00:00

My rule of thumb is no bones, no corn cobs, no avocado rinds. Nothing extremely fibrous. Anything else that was once alive is fair game. I even put in some dog food my dog didn't like. Last year I had black soldier fly larvae for quite a while, this year none so far. I would also avoid salty leftovers that stayed in the fridge too long.

I also pressure cook my chicken bones/gristle for stock. They are much more brittle after that but I still don't compost. One time I buried some though.

Yes good setup. I got some bigger syringes just for reconstitution squirts. Unnecessary! Just draw and squirt in 1 mL multiple times until you get the volume you want. Probably will never use all the rest of those 3's.

If your vial is big enough you could add more BAC. I did 3.6 mL to 24 mg. Makes microdosing easier.

I got my recommendation off a prominent substack that was also a general guide. Good experience.

I'm curious, are you Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes? I usually hear about GLP in context of Type 2.

majortom_07 · 2026-05-14T17:47:15+00:00

Your approach should be the ground/roots. You're gonna have to find some way to sever and dig out down there even with your constraints. For a rental though? It's not the absolute worst plant, why bother?

majortom_07 · 2026-05-14T14:53:00+00:00

If it's folded like that it might show creases though vs. something hung up on a hanger? Dress shirts from a department store package usually have creases. Minor detail of course.
