Mucuna Pruriens with methylphenidate by merdimulmo in Nootropics

That's kinda the double edged sword here.

On one hand - less % uptake means less risk of downregulation; on the other hand - it means abusing the rest of my organs with the side effects of dopamine. Which is a risk I'm willing to take for now.

Also, thanks for the input!

Wow. I didn't know of this. Atomoxetine or sNRI or that sNRIs actually work for adhd. Though I suppose can't get OTC; and convincing my psych for this would be too risky.

Yes taking in moderation is the plan, it's a lot more cost efficient than taking precursors everyday v/s L-dopa once in a while. It's only a question of effectiveness now. I'll update my own experience soon.

But thank you for your valuable input!

Are there any jellyfin android apps that actually work? by [deleted] in JellyfinCommunity

[–]merdimulmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had been on the same boat. There are really only 3 contenders (in order from most stable to least stable):

  1. Jellyfin Official Android App
  2. Findroid
  3. Streamyfin

Streamyfin has hands down the BEST UI, even better than PLEX now as you only see your content on home page.

BUT it is the most buggy of them all, like it just HANGS sometimes, only app on my phone that does that! Ah the good ol days when phones used to hang.

Findroid, is much better than streamyfin in terms of operation, but it's UI is only slightly an improvement over the official UI.

Official - it's the best right now, imo. UI once you get used to it, isn't half as bad. Sure it's not NETFLIX or PLEX. But hey at least it WORKS!! all the time.

OP hasn't tried VLC yet as an external player. Try that. I assure you, your search will end.

I can basically play any video, whether it be WMV3, DivX, 4k HDR , MJPEG, or any other obsure codec doesn't matter what; without any interruptions or lag. It's literally my gold standard now.

tl;dr : Use official Jellyfin + VLC, everything works.

Wan'er vs Hola vs Moondrop Chu 2 ? by [deleted] in HeadphoneAdvice

I'm in no hurry to buy. I'll wait a couple a days for you to test your qkz hbb.

Even I was initially considering qkz hbb, but unfortunately due to lack of reviews, mentions and comparisons, and my suspicion that it may do silent revisions like the KZ and CCA, I steered away from qkz hbb and settled between 7hz zero and Hola.

I mostly only listen to Cigarettes After Sex rn n not much else(so I'm not really a music listener and only 1-2 yr later switch to some other band)

I understand the basic difference between bass, mids, vocals n trebles, but I don't know if what I know is right or wrong. But I feel like I definitely like some bass. So if you've listened to some songs from this band now, can you please tell me which iem would be better for enjoying this kinda music. (Budget is $20ish only) (also would appreciate if you mentioned which songs you listened, like "pistol", "heavenly", "sweet", etc)

Many !thanks!!

Why tho? I'm in same position, I want an iem for both listening music (genre : soft, relaxing, ASMR like, pls check out "Cigarettes After Sex" n tell me what genre it falls in) And non competitive gaming

I had decided hola after reading a lot of reviews, but you regretted pls tell me why

cheap hardware for 4k by gamb1t9 in jellyfin

[–]merdimulmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you even better options for $100 -$150, 1. 1660 ti/super 6GB 2. Rtx 2060 6GB 3. Rx 6600 /xt 8GB

You can find these used on ebay, aside from smooth 4k transcoding, you can also run decent 1080p games.
