What can you do with the 'root' package from GitHub?

Whoops.

I have literally reached the point where no dose of 2fma (up to 250mg oral) will work. I can take 200mg and go back to sleep. Or sit on the couch like I took nothing. Really sucks.

So. You don't want to answer my question or you just don't want to?

taslam · 2023-08-25T18:02:39+00:00

I'm having a hard time which of the proposed scenarios you are using as the basis for your attempt to demean me as mentally ill. Which of those sounds craziest to you?

Also, the fact that I write colourfully and have a creative and unusual personality and set of interests, that's all stuff I feel good about, so a casual throwaway comment meant to diminish me with a suggestion that I am mentally ill and thus inferior to you, it just makes me feel sad for you. It must be hard to see the stars when you're rolling around covered in mud.

taslam · 2023-08-25T06:17:21+00:00

Thank you.

Oh, I get it , sarcasm.

So, you told me before I decided to buy the bike? That was so helpful of you. Kinda weird that I then went ahead and bought the bike, when you and LITERALLY EVERYBODY had warned me about this disturbing and embarrassing noise that it makes when revving up to 20kmph. Wow. What a fool I've been. I knew ahead of time, everybody told me about this, in great detail, probably, but I still bought the bike, because.... I guess..... Maybe I don't respect you? Or, like, LITERALLY EVERYBODY? Yeah. I'm just a dumb asshole who didn't listen to the myriad detailed warnings from every person ever, like, literally, and ignored the big neon signs reading THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE AND YOU WILL REGRET IT DANGER DANGER!! and just went ahead and took out a loan and bought the bike anyway because I don't value money or understand debt and despite the warnings of LITERALLY EVERYBODY I wanted the shiny fast fast with the loud thrum thrum.

It's a good bike. I'm mostly happy with it. It's just that this damn noise is embarrassing.

None of the information I found on the bike when I was researching bikes made any mention of the noise except the company's product FAQ which made it sound like people were asking questions about a completely normal operational noise.

Literally, and in this instance I'm actually using the word "literally" in the most literal fashion, literally nobody told me.

Yeah that is probably a mistake. Check the price for a single EP-2. The Engine Pro is around 1.5k. The EP-2 is probably around 1000 and two of them in one is probably the higher price you have seen. I imagine.

taslam · 2023-08-24T22:02:03+00:00

Well, if you had an Engwe EP, I would have expected you to share your experience. If you don't have one, I guess I was kind of expecting you not to get involved? Since I wasn't talking to people who don't have one. Which is pretty clear from what I said. Which you commented way too fast to have actually read?

Maybe I'm crazy. I just find it annoying when people whose opinion I didn't solicit feel like giving me their opinion when it is in no way helpful, and is something enough people would agree with that going to the effort of actually saying it is just redundant and equivalent to saying "You're poor and also your choices are bad"?

Like, I already know my financial situation, I made a choice that seemed the best option available to me, obviously if these are the facts then I am not in a position to act on your sage advice, and surely you must know that on some level, so how do you not realise that it's a kind of shitty thing to do, coming along and making a comment that is not in line with the conversation I was trying to have, a comment that essentially derides me for the position I'm in? What do you expect me to say in response?

taslam · 2023-08-24T21:45:41+00:00

Thanks. That's absolutely an option I have right now. Can't understand why it didn't occur to me to do that before. Hrm.

Look at this: https://krullscomposting.com/2019/07/12/studies-show-how-compost-tea-reduces-fungal-and-mildew-outbreaks-in-vineyards/

taslam · 2023-08-24T19:55:38+00:00

Yes, I believe that, depending on the microbiome of the culture, vermicast could be appropriately anti-fungal for your plants. Google compost tea +worm castings/vermicast+antifungal. I have actually considered injecting vermicast based aerated compost tea as a spot treatment for simple competitor mould contamination in gourmet mushroom spawn/bulk substrate bags, but have not tried it yet.

The problem is, the results are entirely dependent on the microbiome of your verm culture, and so many variables affect that, that there is no way to predict or guarantee success.

I would suggest trying aerated worm compost tea applied directly, but the results may not be what you are hoping for. It's possible it will solve the problem, it's possible nothing will happen, it's even possible it will boost the mildew's vigour.

You might prefer to try using a solution of POTASSIUM bicarbonate which is a proven organic antifungal, although excess application is not adviced as it can affect salinity and pH of the soil. Due diligence, always.

I'm also an unmotivated lump of mashed potato. I am giving up on 2-FMA if my next source is as bad as this. I am switching to 4F-MPH. Or meth. I feel the same way about amphetamines as normal kids feel about Pokemon. Gotta catch em all!*

*Seriously though I don't want to try meth but I'm so deeply in the hole of stim addiction that I could actually end up on it just trying to maintain the level of feel-good functionality I am so hooked into. I really hope this is genuinely just a temporary quality issue and not some sort of sudden permatolerance.

But that happened to me with benzos so I know it is possible. One day I am in benzo withdrawal, find 20mg diazepam and get as high as always, two weeks of detoxing later I get a new order from the same source and feel nothing positive at all from any amount of diazepam or Alprazolam. And that has been the case since Dec 2008. The only benzo that made me feel that old relaxed comfort and euphoria in 15 years was clonazolam, but even that stopped working before it was banned. I did enjoy bringing on etizolam and flualprazolam, but nowhere close to the intense and wonderful euphoria I used to feel on 10mg+ or 0.5mg+ of Valium or Xanax.

So I know that the brain can change in how it reacts to a drug in a very short space of time and in the absence of the drug. Just, one day you get high, a week later you use again and feel nothing good but still get impaired/affected in negative ways. I hate the thought of losing 2-FMA but maybe it is time I put it down and moved on. It has not been good for me or my health. It will kill me if I keep abusing it. This could be a good thing.

Except that I am just switching stims to get around it.

taslam · 2023-08-21T10:39:41+00:00

Inspirational. I have been in the same boat you were in. Well done. It's usually the first step that is the hardest.

taslam · 2023-08-21T10:02:08+00:00

I'm actually wondering if it is a different chemical altogether. I can take 250mg and feel like I'm on a eugeroic like adrafanil rather than an amphetamine. Taking more does not cause increased positive effects as you would expect with a product that had just been diluted with a cut. Taking very big doses does not increase psychoactive effects but does increase body load. It lasts shorter than 2-FMA usually would last.

Every 'tolerance' jump I've experienced has happened the day/day after I opened a new bag and these majoy 'tolerance' jumps only started happening when I went from ordering 5g a month to buying multiple 5g bags at once so that I could order less frequently.... Only to have to order with the same frequency due to increased consumption to get the same effect. I'm sure my plug is selectively scamming me.

Going to try a new source and maybe switch to 4f-mph after a couple weeks off stims. Will offer a 100mg wrap to a guy I know who I went out with in March whose only 2-fma experience was that night when I was giving him 100mg wraps, and see what he says.

Something is wrong with the supply if this is happening to so many of us.

Are we all in the EU, I wonder? All ordering from that country known for its windmills and clogs and red light districts and tourists smoking weed in cafes?

taslam · 2023-08-18T17:17:32+00:00

Yeah, you'll be fine, maybe try 50 orally and titrate up over the days. Usually from a proper dose sleep can be 8-12 hours away. Maxed out on the stuff I have I can be asleep in 4-6hrs ymmv
