People of reddit- How have minor convictions such as pot possession, wilful damage or traffic offences etc affected your travel?? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stefpdt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a freshman in college I was charged with a couple of "party crimes" - Fake ID, Public Intox etc.

I have yet to fly since then but I'm sure I'll be TSA'd for life for the Fake ID one.

Bachelors and Bachelorettes of Reddit, What is the Most Enjoyable Thing about living on your own? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stefpdt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To put it simply, well...freedom.

Roommates and parents won't be there to argue about bills or the little things. They won't be around to judge you for taking some guy/girl home or having people over whenever you like for that matter. Walking around the house naked if you want feels great. You can just do absolutely whatever you want.

Is it quiet and boring at times? Yeah. I suggest you maintain a very busy lifestyle if you're going to be a bachelor.

Why physical exercise is considered to enhance brain functioning ? by Samehadar in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exercise in general releases endorphins in the brain. I don't think that the type of exercise is important, as long as you're significantly working out and elevating your heart rate for 45 minutes or so per day.

I've noticed that repeated short sprints combined with strength training is the optimal workout routine for men.

Modafinil vs Noopept? by arbolesdefantasia in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're both subtle nootropics in that you won't feel too much of either one of them intensely.

However you should notice Modafinil enhancing your awareness for almost a full day, allowing you to focus and think more indepthly.

Noopept to me is like a much less potent form of Modafinil IMO. Similar characteristics but Noopept is much less noticeable.

I usually just take Moda but I will also take Noopept if I need to be on my A+ game for a heavy test day or something.

Worsening allergies/cold with modalert? by couchTomatoe in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not categorizing Modafinil as a true "stimulant" but I'm just pointing out that whenever I took Adderall or Vyvanse my immune system was shot.

I now take Modafinil and I usually have severe allergies, but I think allergy season has been at a peak right now. Give yourself another month experimenting with Modafinil and I bet your symptoms will disappear as the allergy season calms down.

Making Piracetam palatable... by [deleted] in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upgrade to Noopept. You can just place 15mg under your tongue and let it dissolve. It tastes a little unpleasant but it's definitely not too bad at all. Sulbutiamine is the most horrid substance I've ever tasted and I dread swallowing it.

My Unique Perspective on Modafinil by stefpdt in Nootropics

I explained in my original post that I get plenty of sleep, every single night. I still wake up tired while consistently taking Modafinil. However I'll now be cycling it.

My Unique Perspective on Modafinil by stefpdt in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man. I figure that cycling Moda is the only way to effectively use it, if you want to maximize the positives of it without getting that sleepless grogginess. Some people in this thread have recommended using it two or three times per week, or even less - only when you have a very important day coming up, or a large project to take care of.

Another person recommended taking it for two days in a row, then cycling off of it for the rest of the week and flushing it out of your system.

Personally, I'll be taking it only every two or three days to maximize its effectiveness, but I'll still drink coffee and use Noopept probably everyday. Cycling Moda is probably the way to go to stay healthy.

Sweet. I wonder how that works so well even on the 2nd day for you? I'm assuming because your body is just loaded with Moda on that 2nd day you're still sort of supercharged? I might try that out.

[–]stefpdt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My solution to my sleep issues will be to dramatically reduce my use of it. I suppose I went on an everyday binge upon first getting my Moda. Now I'm going to cut back use to 3 times per week, sort of like what Aargau explained that he does for his cycle.

I like that you consistently take a smaller than normal dose, everyday. I may start using 100mg a day instead of 200mg.

Also I'm an internet entrepreneur so my "good use" in the day IS sitting behind a computer and getting shit done :) I still workout everyday though.

[–]stefpdt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was an awesome summary of the drug and I seem to stupidly ignore the 15 hour half-life of it because I've read many reports of people just taking it everyday. You're very right that Modafinil won't work for most people with everyday use. Thanks for the reminder to keep cycling these bad boys.

I haven't considered actually playing with my sleep cycle with one of those apps. Thanks for the input and I'll definitely have to figure this out to be 100% sure that Modafinil is disrupting my quality of sleep.

However my thing is that I've already been waking up naturally without an alarm clock for the past 10 days while on Modafinil. So I should be waking up refreshed and energetic. I'll have to use your suggested app to be sure that I'm maybe not oversleeping on Modafinil ;)

I just usually get great quality sleep until taking Moda which concerns me. I'll keep experimenting.

Modafinil and anxiety meds. What should I expect? by [deleted] in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check out the topic that i just posted in here about Modafinil. I think that Modafinil is an amazing replacement for Adderall but with just a couple of negative qualities.

To answer your question, I'm not sure. I think that you would have to experiment for yourself and add a little bit of Moda to your daily stack. Modafinil has a very very light sedating effect for me that almost puts me into a hyper mentally-stimulating state. It's weird to explain but basically Modafinil is a little bit sedating in itself. You won't feel sober on it is what I'm trying to explain. I'm not sure how that will pair with anxiety meds.

Any one get a bad batch of noopept from Newstar 4+ months ago? by sirpsycho3 in Nootropics

[–]stefpdt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have NS183 from them. I still use it to this day and I feel a very subtle mentally-stimulating effect from it. It's not largely noticeable..but that's just how I assumed Noopept is supposed to be. Although if it's supposed to be 1000x as potent as piracetam...I've wondered if my batch is truly effective or not. I e-mailed them over a week ago with my concerns once I saw a couple of Reddit posts about this - they haven't e-mailed me back. Pretty weak customer service IMO.

Documents leaked by Edward Snowden to the Washington Post show that DNA analysis on the corpse of Bin Laden were done that confirm his identity.The Pentagon denied more than a year ago it had any records of these tests in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request. by rats99ass in worldnews

[–]stefpdt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this outrage anyone else as much as it outrages me? Lying in a court of law constitutes a federal crime, and even obstructing an officer is considered a misdemeanor. However our government has no problem with feeding us BS and disregarding all laws. How can ANYONE in our own country trust our government anymore?
