2019-03-21 at 3:27 AM UTC in I'm going to create an image/textboard hybrid site for educationLike every six hours you post a "I'm going to do X" thread.
I have a certain degree of sympathy because I actually am guilty of the same thing (starting projects then switching to new ones before finishing any).
But we all know you aren't going to actually carry this out.
I will give props if you do, though. -

Originally posted by ohfralala Yes bc I thought it was you and you said it was your brother.
Ohhh... There's a video where I tell everyone the girls my cousin and then I make out with her. We weren't legit related tho. It was just for shock value.
I dunno if that was it.
Or I might have referred to one of my friends as my "bro", but that would've been more a term of endearment. -

From subatomic particles to massive stellar entities, it's all triangles. -
2019-03-21 at 2:30 AM UTC in Roshambo has turned his back on TrianglismLiterally everything can be reduced to triangles.
All waves are measured using trigonometry (the study of triangles), and light, sound, ocean movements, subatomic particle ossilations, everything is triangles.
I may just be a Triangalism convert. -

Originally posted by Common De-mominator Like you linked, it's wrong tho.
It's a speculative theory.
That means that you can no sooner prove it wrong than Obbe (or Jaynes) can prove it right.
I don't think it's even really meant to solve the hard problem, it's just a neat theory, and if you look at some of the big academic names giving it praise, you might realize that it might just be worth giving a chance rather than dismissing it out right. -

Originally posted by CASPER And methadone…I'm down to 120. Excellerating my taper to 3mg/week, so right about the end of this year (or sooner if I start tapering more), I'll be good.
Nigella Sativa oil is supposed to be great for tapering opioids, but the stuff makes my stomach gurgle and get awful cramps.
How much was your highest dose?
Also, how long have you been on it?
I'm just curious because I was on methadone myself, only I ended up getting straight up hooked on the methadone. I always pissed clean, so I eventually got weekly carries and would just go through half right away, then the other half a couple days later. By day 6/7, it was absolutely horrible. Worst days of my life.
I actually ended up using heroin to taper off of the methadone.
Ironic as fuck, I know.
And I don't really recommend it. It probably wouldn't work for everyone.
What I did was I just decided I wanted to get off the methadone as quickly as possible, so I told my doc that I want to taper down from about 120 to 0 in a month. She strongly advised against it, but I told her I just want to get this over with... kinda like ripping off a bandaid.
I took a lot of benzos to help.
I even tried kratom, but it did nothing for me (maybe it was just weak stuff, I dunno).
Then when I got down towards zero, I used heroin a few times, but made a strict promise to myself that I would stop all opiate use (from codeine to oxycodone to heroin to methadone, absolutely all of it) by the end of December 2014.
Somehow I managed to pull that off, and have been opiate clean since then.
But I will tell you, that one month rapid taper was FUCKING BRUTAL. I ended up in the psych ward for a few days at one point because I was suicidal.
God, I'm so glad that part of my life is over.
Best of luck to you. It can be done, and I'm living proof of that. -

I archived the entire site a couple days ago but didn't use no HTTrack. That's for static sites, not internet forums. -

2019-03-18 at 5:18 AM UTC in Minimizing LegworkClearly this is drug related.
That rate of pay sounds pretty equivalent to when I was doing the same thing many years back.
Your options are either:
A) Realize that you're making a pretty damn substantial wage compared to most people and just STFU and do your work.
B) Subcontract to one or more other drivers, but take a reasonable cut. One way this can backfire, though, is you end up with a bullet in the dome because you started involving people without express consent from your higher ups.
C) Make the move up the chain. The real money is in working the re-up spot. Several drivers come to you with a wad of cash, and you reload them with a wad of drugs. -

Originally posted by Sophie I really enjoy how you use language Zanick.
One of these days I should do the same readability analyses on his posts as I did with infinityshock.
If I did analyses of every poster on here, they (infinityshock and Zanick) would probably lie at the exact opposite poles on the bell curve.
Originally posted by gadzooks Also, by the way…
He (infinityshock) communicates at a sub 4th grade level…
He got a score of 4.8 on the Dale-Chall readability score (based on the difficulty level of the words you use):
Score Notes
4.9 or lower easily understood by an average 4th-grade student or lower
5.0–5.9 easily understood by an average 5th or 6th-grade student
6.0–6.9 easily understood by an average 7th or 8th-grade student
7.0–7.9 easily understood by an average 9th or 10th-grade student
8.0–8.9 easily understood by an average 11th or 12th-grade student
9.0–9.9 easily understood by an average 13th to 15th-grade (college) student
Originally posted by gadzooks On the Flesch Reading Ease Formula, he got a NEGATIVE score, which they do admit is possible, just unlikely:
The following table can be helpful to assess the ease of readability in a document.
The table is an example of values. While the maximum score is 121.22, there is no limit on how low the score can be. A negative score is valid.
Score Difficulty
90-100 Very Easy
80-89 Easy
70-79 Fairly Easy
60-69 Standard
50-59 Fairly Difficult
30-49 Difficult
0-29 Very Confusing
