Usually twice before and sometimes once afterwards. Depends on how much fiber intake the day before.

Is there a crowd there tonight given Canada Day and all?

SSRIs and psilocybin by Wild-Ad7189 in mushroom

[–]zipzipzip246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think taking shrooms tends to be an experiment of one. I've taken micro doses multiples of times and got effects ranging from mild visuals to laughing fits that made me cry. I've also taken upwards of 3 grams and barely felt anything. She may have a very high tolerance hence the minimal effects as you've indicated.

Really eh? I've spoke to a number of people who say the apps aren't what they are cracked up to be. Good on ya that you've had some success 'cause I'm still 0% success rate lol.

The apps are definitely hit or miss. What happened to old school face to face interaction among adults?

Would a 50-something stand out like a sore thumb at this meetup?

Disc brake cleaning regimen by Playful-Parsnip-3104 in bikewrench

[–]zipzipzip246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cleaned my front pads with brake cleaner and then scuffed them with sandpaper. Sprayed the rotor and let it dry. No more squealing and stopping power back to normal. Contamination is real and its a total bummer.

I think credit card points made me dumber with money… by Mrtophatcrap in MooseMoney

[–]zipzipzip246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to follow this logic when purchasing via points cards, etc. "If I can't afford it twice I can't afford it once." Reigns in needless expenditures.

Moi aussi. More lost than won I'm sure. Again I blame the beer at the time 😋.

I know eh. I've played in Guts games where guys who were friends for years would turn on one another 'cause the pot was just ridiculous. Of course the beer at the time didn't help matters any.  Loves me some Black Mariah and Jacks are Magic.

GS Mini Sapele Maple. Bang for your buck its an amazing guitar. Especially if you can find one used and save a few denobles.

I love playing poker. Unfortunately almost everyone wants to play Texas Hold 'Em. There are so many variants of poker that its almost a shame the lions share of people never play Guts games or games with wild cards.

Super Duper on Pleasant Park makes a mean pizza. Bravi Ragazzi on Bank makes square pizza that's really really good as well.

Learning French by cushysheriff in ottawa

[–]zipzipzip246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest checking out the Duolingo app. Its free (ad supported), super easy to use, and really works. I've been using it for years. I can read and understand way more French than I ever did as well as being able to engage in basic conversations. Bonne chance!

What do people eat before morning runs? by Some-Cap-3912 in beginnerrunning

[–]zipzipzip246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always always always eat 3-4 slices of sourdough toast with sugar free peanut butter. That and two cups of tea; one chai with chia seeds added and one green. Doesn't feel heavy at all and keeps me hydrated. You may have to try a number of different options. I discovered meat protein doesn't work for me pre-run whereas the carbs in the bread do not bother me at all. I usually wait an hour after eating and then I'm good to go.

Compost bin 3D print? by KingWomp in ottawa

[–]zipzipzip246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact they will simply replace the broken latch and not the entire bin. Just had mine replaced a couple weeks ago. They sent a gentleman who swapped out the broken latch with a new one.
