eh, I just paid someone to fix the water heater, I had something come up and was otherwise engaged.
So what was the problem? -
2015-09-26 at 9:44 PM UTCI actually have no idea. I gave one of my cousins, who sells weed to my son, a hundred dollar bill after he got it running. I don't even know what he did and I didn't ask. He had to leave and come back for parts to do it, though.

2015-09-26 at 10:14 PM UTCI will find out though, I just haven't had time to worry about it, this is the first time I've had a chance to sit back, been pretty busy...opportunity calls

Is that how you measure intellect? Your ability to use Google?
No, you assumed that by me posting the actual names of the drugs, not brand names, I was trying to appear smart or condescending, but in reality I was just using the names...posting the wikipedia link to the cocktail hoping you'd realize that I wasn't spouting out nonsense..
Or maybe you think I'm not smart because of all the drugs I ingested in order to sleep. Yes, that can seem stupid, to you it probably appeared as though I was a kid taking any old shitty drugs just to get fucked up.
I've tried reccomended doses of sleep aids used as prescribed, tried different sleep aids also the same way, generics, as prescribed.
After a while of realizing that this wouldn't work and that I can't keep getting 3 hours of sleep because I'm going to start a job next week, so in hopes of somehow fixing my circadian rhythm I took all those drugs. -

You said...Considering I found a pretty good and easy to accomplish cocktail yes, I think I'm smart rodent
https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Suicide/Amitriptyline_cocktail
... and linked to a wiki books page. Proof that your "find" was nothing more than a weak effort at Googling information for a weak mind to use the crutch that international pharmaceutical concerns are so willing to provide so long as they or the "after market" can profit from your infirm state. I haven't slept "correctly" in over 3 decades. During that time I've raised 4 kids (3 steps and a bio) and lead a fascinating if not conventionally successful life. I accept the fact that 8 hours will never be mine and taught myself to adapt and overcome without their crutch.Or maybe you think I'm not smart because of all the drugs I ingested in order to sleep. Yes, that can seem stupid, to you it probably appeared as though I was a kid taking any old shitty drugs just to get fucked up.
Your the one taking any old shitty drug as a substitute for playing the hand you were dealt and drew to.I've tried reccomended doses of sleep aids used as prescribed, tried different sleep aids also the same way, generics, as prescribed.

There's nothing that will make you sleep better than an honestday's endeavors that make you feel as if you bettered yourself and perhaps even your environment.

2015-09-27 at 5:24 AM UTCLiving life takes too much effort, I'd rather keep trying to use drugs to solve my problems. I think this is the problem of at least half the people here.

2015-09-27 at 5:47 AM UTCPicked up a little overtime in the last week, made sense for political reasons but a nice bonus is that I have this thing where I can never buy stuff that I haven't budgeted for unless I pick up non-regular income to compensate, even if I have plenty in savings or whatever. So I'm going to spend my unexpected windfall on an oculus rift dev kit and some drugs. Take a little time, however much I need, to shake off any potential disorientation from the VR experience, get comfortable with simulated vision. Then I'll take a respectable dose of a psychadelic, not like ego-shattering or anything, but enough to get fully and totally lost in the experience, strap on my VR set, and see how real another world can seem. Obviously I'll be developing something for VR during the adjustment phase as well, I may even make myself an experience beforehand time permitting. Maybe a nice simulation of Muir woods, always somewhere I've wanted to trip but transit logistics make it difficult. Or maybe something more surreal. Just thinking about the generative worlds I could make with good VR, it's amazing. Maybe even a framework for building infinite spaces built out of whimsy for people to create and explore as whimsy strikes them under the influence of drugs. Think about it, someone could say they want to explore a vast empty favella, set some simple parameters like density, joint conditions, terrain parameters, perhaps most of this set by people with some limited technical modeling/technical expertise, and it becomes a reality. Every quaint italian villa, every dreary atlantic shore, every quaint shack in the woods and luxury penthouse apartment could be yours or anyone else's and the only blocker would be a cheap VR set and the ability to articulate your desires,

2015-09-27 at 7:34 AM UTCI was thinking of posting this: http://www.citylab.com/housing/2015/09/im-obsessed-with-san-franciscos-bunk-bed-craigslist-ads/407281/
And mentioning how pathetic it is that adults are sharing rooms with bunk beds due to SF's economic retardation. You can even find couples sharing rooms with other people. This will seem particularly shocking to people that have never lived in extremely high cost metropolitan areas, people that live n very low cost regions (actually most of the US in terms of land mass).
Then asking what your long-term plans are for housing, whether you plan to stay in the area, particularly if you get married and especially if you have children. If you understand the dynamics that are driving, realistically there isn't a chance in hell in hell this situation is going to reverse. None, in terms of feasibility it is impossible. If it's a bubble and it pops? Last time the tech bubble popped it didn't change the long term course, land price bubble, at best it's only responsible for a fraction and won't change the long-term outcome.
Two main things relevant to the state:
http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2013/06/californias_pho.html
http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/fact-sheets/2012/06/18/widening-gap-update-california
US downturn is longer term, could be decades before crisis point. Too long to explain, but there were some key things to learn from the 08 crisis about resilience, states ability to delay for long periods, and the problems with attempting to make predictions. Demographics are also problematic particularly for diverse areas. Cost of living will continue to have a very negative economic effect and could potentially push migration of companies and residents to a critical mass, Texas is already drawing away a large amount of companies and residents and is performing well given its circumstances, which will continue if they don't restrict housing supply.
Which leads to my main point: Let's assume that housing price increases continue long-term and that purchasing your own home will be an absolutely nightmarish financial scenario. Actually, before that, what are your peak earnings projected to be? Difficult question, you probably don't know what your potential is or whether you'll be able to or want to deal with the pressure and workload, especially if you decide to start your own company. I recall reading something very interesting about an experiment done with low doses of LSD for creativity, where they had professionals use it in a group setting to develop ideas and solve problems from their line of work. Did you ever read this? Reason I bring it up is because I think you're the kind of person that may legitimately receive a very positive impact on the trajectory of your life from psychedelic use, it could change everything. Oh, and you could commute, but traffic could become worse and it could already eat up hours, although self-driving cars would allow you to do other things, even use virtual reality, but it's still kind of gay. Then again by that time maybe telecommuting really could become the standard and people may be spending a surprising amount of time inside virtual reality.
Okay, detour aside, given how enormously expensive that would realistically be, keep in mind that the effort of what I'm proposing may still have a far far lower lower new cost than this, making it very lucrative, and that this isn't as absurd as it may initially appear and has relevant real world cases that can be used for information. Illegal underground housing. We could become the first literal mole people and squeal with delight at what we've accomplished, like children who have built a secret base. Do a google search for bank robberies committed using tunnels. We could get plans from the city to avoid pipes and other infrastructure, water/moisture, gas/ventilation, structural integrity could all be dealt with. I'm thinking parks may be an ideal place for this because there would likely be less underground infrastructure to get in the way and with SF's political climate they're probably pretty unlikely to be developed, particularly deep enough to effect us. We could probably find a way to tap into the water and power supply as well. Then we'd have a neat secret entrance where we could enter and exit without suspicion, along with a nifty conveyor and tunnel to rapidly take us to the dwelling and carry items.We could start tunneling from within the sewers or underground tunnels: http://www.thebolditalic.com/articles/4056-a-rare-look-at-the-tunnels-under-san-francisco
Or, another idea. What if we found/picked an optimal tunnel or room and sealed it off. Sure, urban explorers, homeless people, whoever may have known about them and visited/wanted to visit may be like, WTF?, but they'd probably just assume the city did it. Realistically, what would they do about it? It doesn't seem likely that the city would be informed or discover this had occurred and that they hadn't done it, then break in. This would be much easier, but likely wouldn't be in a prime location.
"If it's such a good idea why hasn't anyone else done it?" For all I know they have. But, really, you should have a general idea of the psychological profile of the common man, the lack of imagination/creativity, drive, daringness. Is it really anywhere near as difficult as the decades you'd have to work and save, the effort of going through school and working your way up a career, or building a company? He who dares, wins. -

Please document the experience, it would be a dream. One of the first things about was using psychedelics in conjunction with virtual reality. There are some potentially mind blowing things you could try.
This could be you: https://www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/21jthh/oculus_rift_while_on_psychedelics/https://www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/21jthh/oculus_rift_while_on_psychedelics/
I think the Vive's going to be available for purchase online soon, it would be a much better choice than the DK2. The developer kit would probably leave a lot to be desired. -

Dont. Oculus comes out at the beginning of next year. Im not sure whether the pricing i saw was rift or Samsung VR gear but i saw $99. In any case, itll definitely be cheaper than the dev kits. -

While we're on the topic of vaporizers does anyone have any recommendations? My only real requirement is that it works off herb rather than liquid or whatever, something cheap and dinky is find as long as it isn't total shit. Don't care about portability or anything. I technically have asthma but the only time it's bothered me in years is when smoking pot (funny enough cigarettes do nothing).

This will seem particularly shocking to people that have never lived in extremely high cost metropolitan areas, people that live n very low cost regions (actually most of the US in terms of land mass).
I'll be the first person to call out how fucktarded SF's development policy is and the total circus that is the housing market. But you have to admit that ad is a bit melodramatic, I mean has this nigga never heard of living in a dorm? There are a number of professions that necessitate communal living (like oil rig workers live in barracks and stuff while they're on the job). I'm not saying this is great but it's both over dramatic and close minded to describe sharing a room with someone as a "nightmare".Which leads to my main point: Let's assume that housing price increases continue long-term and that purchasing your own home will be an absolutely nightmarish financial scenario. Actually, before that, what are your peak earnings projected to be?

Hah, funny, I was actually just looking at real estate listings recently. There's were a handful of places I could buy today where the mortgage and associated costs would be less than what I pay in rent today. Almost tempted to go for it, but I expect to be making more before too long, push my price point up a bit, could spring for a place I wouldn't feel the need to trade in after a couple of years. I'm not sure I could enjoy telecommuting, I can work from home in my current job any time I don't have to be in the office for a meeting which is usually a couple of days a week but I never like it. Hard to focus on work, the setting just prompts me to do other things, plus there's something to be said for the ritual of going somewhere else, doing something else, and returning, like it just structures things better. And then there's a social factor, sometimes problems are best resolved by talking them over with someone else and there's something depressing about going full days without talking to another living soul.Okay, detour aside, given how enormously expensive that would realistically be, keep in mind that the effort of what I'm proposing may still have a far far lower lower new cost than this, making it very lucrative, and that this isn't as absurd as it may initially appear and has relevant real world cases that can be used for information.

Haha, access would probably be an issue, I don't really want to go crawling through a storm drain every morning and evening. Would be an interesting idea to build down on a building you already own so access wouldn't be a problem, the mole people would just look like other tenants coming and going, but then doing the construction in secret would be pretty much impossible, you can't do indoor excavation. -

Thought about it but I mean $300 or $100, it's not a huge investment either way. And if there ends up being a developer branch of the hardware (this is standard operating procedure for consoles) at consumer release then I'm going to end up buying the devkit anyway. I'm more unnerved by the facebook acquisition and how feisty competitors have become. My money is still on oculus though, I'm a huge Carmack fanboy and this really is the project he was born to work on. It's tempting to jump camp based on specs for unseen hardware but the quality of the SDK is just as, if not more important (that is, attracting talented devs and enabling them to do interesting things) than hardware specs. -
2015-09-27 at 9:52 PM UTCSomeone linked to this in r/nootropics:
Uncorking the muse: Alcohol intoxication facilitates creative problem solving
http://www.iee.unibe.ch/unibe/philnat/biology/zoologie/cb/content/e7117/e7118/e8764/e145926/Jarosz_CscCog2012.pdf
The hypothesis as to why in the introduction is well explained, it made me think of psychedelics, your experience with them and that of others, along with some of the discussions on alcohol and creativity we'v had in the past.
Also brought to mind East Asians. You're in SF so you probably observed them a lot and had a lot of time to ponder certain qualities they tend to display compared to Whites. Regardless of the cause, cultural or genetic, ability to sustain attention/cognitive endurance ad susceptibility to boredom have been studied, and are in line with general perceptions. Stereotypes aren't necessarily inaccurate, they actually tend to be very accurate and arise due to genuine differences that are perceived. Although, other factors that may impact creativity/innovation are conformity, risk aversion/general anxiety levels and fear of consequences/losses.
Ideally you would have very high executive function and learn to modulate it, to enter a state conductive to creative problem solving, developing this ability using meditative techniques/training, or with drugs. -

Dr. Malice is going to prescribe you something for respiratory depression and you'll be fine. But really, take care when mixing downers as a general rule of thumb. I've taken beer, diazepam, IM morphine and sublingual fentanyl together before and i was fine. But i mean, don't push it lol. -
2015-09-27 at 10:43 PM UTCok. It's just 1mg etizolam and 1/2 a two liter bottle filled with seeds, I usually take 2/3 of a bottle worth. I think these seeds are just stronger than normal, because I don't nod like this when I mix etiz and methadone. I hate nodding.
