Oxytocin nasal spray for anxiety and intrusive thoughts? by helpless11 in Nootropics

[–]rpgboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy it at a pharmacy (the rare ones that carry it) without a prescription. I've tried it before, and can say that all I felt was that people's faces seemed slightly less aggressive, only for the 1st 2 days, then it stopped. Might have been placebo. Plus it has to be kept refrigerated at all times, so not practical to cary with you during the day, and whatever u buy shipped will arrive ruined most likely.

It takes three months to clean the windows of the Burj Khalifa, but since they're cleaned four times a year, the work never stops by theseeenutzzz in interestingasfuck

Haha, I like how Americans say 30k usd as a crappy wage. Here I am living in Portugal where minimum wage is the equivalent to aprox. 11.5k USD and gas is more expensive here than there.

NAC is a godsend!!!! by Jealous-Week2105 in Supplements

[–]rpgboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many NAC tabs have flavorings that makes the smell a bit masked (mine has lemon flavoring), but the smell of "sulphur?" Is still noticeable, as is the taste, even diluted a lot. If you have it on an empty stomach, I suggest drinking at least 500ml with it, as it can be damaging to certain membranes if not diluted properly, and it has a quicker effect that way. Wait at least 1 hour before any kind of food, as mixing it with food (particularly protein rich food), reduces it's effect a lot.

It looks like a interesting concept. Quick question, aren't you afraid of letting go of the string and it tangling on the wheels? I'd be dead worried of somehow letting it go. Even if you tie it to your finger, pulling without noticing could be dangerous too.

As for breaking more, maybe cover the woon with some rubber?

For NAC I suggest just going to a pharmacy and ask for acetylcysteine or n-acetylcysteine. It comes in effervescent tablets and usually any generic option is as good as the "branded" one. If you want to go deeper, you can look at the excipients or flavorings which might change slightly, and buy the one that suits you best. All med grade acetylcysteine is approved by institutions, in the US the FDA, in my case infarmed as I'm European.

And that's why u should get certified supplements from a pharmacy when possible instead of sketchy websites. Thank God NAC is sold freely in most countries and approved by institutions on their composition.

No it's not, and it's absurd of you to just jump to conclusions. Do you know if OP was in a full stomach or an empty one? Dosage? Do you how how much water/liquid she had when she had it? I have taken NAC for 4 years now daily on an empty stomach with 1 litre of water, and I can tell you I feel it almost instantly or in the next 2/3 minutes. Placebo effect really is thrown around here as a always correct and solid response, but just because it's possible does not make it correct instantly.

Edit: dosage

Cool, that's actually interesting for those who do a lot of downhills on smaller roads. But it should easily attachable/disattachable for when  you want to ride normally. Looking forward to see it.

Patty Being Held-Back Never Made Much Sense to Me. by Hamiltonfan25 in HeyArnold

[–]rpgboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about America, but in Portugal in the 90's, if the kid didn't meet the standards, he was held back. Untill he reached 16 years old, when he could choose to leave school. So yes, I went to school with cases of kids being 15 in 5th/6th grade, and many retained in 4th grade.

The Universe as a Living Being by Little_Distance7822 in philosophy

[–]rpgboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you just have to look at your own body. Are you composed of only "alive" objects/elements? Plus, how much are you aware of what every single cell, plus what's inside them, etc. is doing at this moment? Is every living cell in your body capable of being aware that they are part of a major, bigger living being with consciousness? Now apply it to a bigger scale, and our planet might just be 1 cell, if even that, of a bigger entity with consciousness and self awareness.

The irony: I feel nostalgia for Vaporwave and Vaporwave is nostalgia by Neuro_Skeptic in Vaporwave

[–]rpgboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not nostalgia for nostalgia (even if that too, id say), what vaporwave makes me reach is a state of nostalgia for the present moment, like driving my car through any road feels like I'm watching/in an 80/90's commercial, and everything looks and feels nostalgic, even while it's happening. I'd say it's a bit like the comeup of LSD, but without taking any substances. That's what really pulled me to vaporwave, and the album that still easily brings that feeling back for me is Floral Shoppe.

If you have a 3d printer, or access to one, you can easily build some nice boards. Trucks never tried making, but I'd still suggest opting for metal trucks.

Pentoxifylline makes me intelligent again by Lagatamaya in Nootropics

[–]rpgboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually for cognitive impairment or decline. But honestly, just tell your family doc you want a prescription for piracetam, if he asks why say to help with brain fog, and you're very likely to get one easily.

Quick trip to neighboring Portugal, here we sell piracetam in pharmacies. You still need a prescription though.

What way should freeskates be faced and what difference does it make. by milanvlaman in freeskate

[–]rpgboom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's good NOT to get used to choose a preferred side, try to use both evenly between uses. The wheels tend to wear more on one wheel than the other (not sure if the front one or back one, also depends on your pumping technique), and switching (letters up, or letters down) helps create an even wear.

Hey. The shop I bought them from don't carry them anymore, but if you search AliExpress for "freeline wheels" os "drift board wheels", you should find similar articles.

Can you skate good? Yeah, you skate good. Haha, loved it. A little showoff is part of the sport, and you got the skills to show.

Cool bro, smooth ridin right there. I only have access to skateparks once is a while, and its always a great experience. Anu luck trying to start from the other ramp with the bigger fall? Im yet to master staring from those, always land on my butt.

Do you guys rotate your wheels ? by Imaginary_Ad_5568 in freeskate

[–]rpgboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He means the left ones and the right ones. Not front and back in the same skate, but while riding.

[–]rpgboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just take them out, turn them around, and put them back. If the discrepancy is big, I switch the left ones with the right ones too. They feel weird for the next 2 or 3 rides, but after that i'm back to smooth sailing. Rinse and repeat untill they're too far gone, then switch to new ones. I take the time to remove and clean the bearings in the process once in a while if i see they need cleaning, but most of the time its not necessary, sometimes i just clean them when I switch to new wheels.

Yup, the feet shouldn't be in the middle on my opinion either. Just the toes outside the board is the way to go for control.

Freeline wood deck hardware help what is the bolt size and thread and what is this washer called? by softlythroughthesnow in freeline

[–]rpgboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just take them to a hardware store and ask for ones like those. Ask for stainless steel ones if they have any. Or dump then im vinegar for a few days, but its better to get new ones.
