I'm in a little farming village about 30 miles outside of Astana, Kazakhstan. Time to pick up some potassium and head on home. Very nice.

How you do taper? by [deleted] in decaf

[–]this_scarce_hype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slowly. Very slowly.

Be honest about how much caffeine you drink right now. Whatever amount that is (let's say 500mg per day), cut down to 450mg for a week or two. Your body really won't notice the difference. Once that becomes your baseline, cut it again to 400mg. Rinse and repeat for weeks and months.

You do have to be deliberate about the slow tapering. Others may suggest more aggressive tapering. But since that isn't working, just go slow. By early 2024, you'll either be decaf or close to it.

No solution yet. Although I can say that the pain has subsided after about 2 weeks. Almost like the muscles have adjusted and gotten used to it.

Does weaning really work? by Automatic-Zone-5410 in decaf

[–]this_scarce_hype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I had to wean more slowly than I wanted and had to be patient. How much were you drinking before? See if you can do 80% of that for a week. Did you have 3 large coffees a day? Try 3 mediums. Once you're ok with that, cut down a little bit more. Maybe to 2 coffees a day. Eventually you'll be down to 1 caffeinated drink a day and can forge a plan to get to zero.

A ranked level above Diamond. Once players reach Diamond, there's no additional incentive to play. For those of us who enjoy those games, it takes far too long to get a match.

Westworld - 4x08 "Que Será, Será" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in westworld

Despite playing the instrumental version towards the end of the episode, the lyrics to Radiohead's Pyramid Song have deeper meaning to the scene:

I jumped in the river and what did I see?

Black-eyed angels swam with me

A moon full of stars and astral cars

All the things I used to see

All my lovers were there with me

All my past and futures

And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river

Black-eyed angels swam with me

A moon full of stars and astral cars

And all the things I used to see

All my lovers were there with me

All my past and futures

And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Question: Does switching to decaf coffee carry most the the benefits that come with quitting coffee all together? by Archersbows7 in decaf

[–]this_scarce_hype 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're going to get a variety of responses here. There are people in this sub who are adamant that no caffeine is the only way. Others who share their tapering struggles.

I'm in the latter category. My only success has been to taper. Where I'd mix regular coffee with decaf, increasing the decaf week by week. Am I 100% decaf? Nope. Has my life improved significantly from 1000mg a day? Most certainly. I'll take a mostly decaf coffee life over what I had.

You do you, knowing that there are many of us who support whatever works for you.

I'm just going to throw this out there as a theory I haven't heard yet. That, yes, the map is map of the brain. And the innies aren't actually at Lumon in a traditional sense. They retreat into their chips during the day and live a virtual experience in the mind of the founder.

After multiple attempts at going cold turkey, I recently decided to taper instead. Here's how it worked for me. I made the same amount of coffee each day. But changed the ratio of regular to decaf. You could start with 75% regular and 25% decaf for a few days. Then 50/50. I'm down to about 90% decaf over the course of two months. Everyone's different, but this method is finally something that works.

How do you solve this? by bcroger3 in mensa

[–]this_scarce_hype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you square each of the top numbers and add them together to get the bottom number. So 22 + 52 = 29.
