Are you sure you had acid? Was it bitter to taste and or make your tongue numb? If so you may have had nbome instead which was sold a lot as acid for a while.

The one time I had it it felt like the world was more some kind of film noir / vhs feeling downscaled version if itself and it had a more jittery nervous feel to it compared to acid.

Acid without fail always makes the world seem brighter and more colourful today. On small amounts it is just like you are having a really good, happy day. You don’t trip out or get any visuals as such but everything does seem a bit brighter and more vibrant and helps lend to that happy day feel.

Taking more and more increases these feelings for me as the dose gets higher you are more likely to zone out and see different visuals from trails, to patterns to anything really. Your eyes makes things out of the shapes it is seeing.

You can get into some heavy thought patterns but generally myself I’m very resiliant to falling into those traps for whatever reason so have never spiralled like I have seen some other people do.

Bear in mind as well even if you have real acid a tab isnt a measurement of dose. You can get tabs that are 20 micro grammes that are for micro dosing and you’d bare feel or 1000 micro grammes which is going to be a wild ride.

My favourite amounts are between 130 to 260 micro grammes

I really want to use gadgetbridge but with my watch it just stops syncing after 2 - 6 activities and gets stuck in a loop of trying resulting in me having to basically reset everything and start again :(

Soulseek is the best place for music outside of private trackers imo

I haven’t but it is on my list of things to try out as it sounds really interesting.

I feel like I may be going exactly the same way as you. I’m around half way through book 4 at this point and I’m already kind of feeling a bit bored of the same issues. It doesn’t help that thus far the characters range from bearable - Dresden who really is boring as fuck, I don’t dislike him but don’t particularly like him either. All the way to oh would you fuck off - Murphy, that bitch is just fucking annoying and any scene with her in I am hoping she just fucking dies already…

I’m gonna check this out tomorrow as your description sounds interesting. I have been watching Erenshor as a single player MMO experience but havent actually tried it yet. You may want to have a look at that if you havent hears of it :)

Literally any callisthenics progression. If you are struggling on where to start then check out the hybrid callisthenics site which gives you a basic workout as well as progressions that you can do for each exercise.

In terms of stretching just start doing things to try and increase your flexibility where ever you may need it for example if you can’t touch your toes then maybe start working on that first as that is your most basic that everyone should be able to do easily!

I’m probably about a third of the way into the fourth Dresden Files book now, Summer Knight.

I enjoy the premise a lot but the second and third books were a bit, ehhhhh, so I am hoping it picks up a bit more now that it is established.

I don’t think it helps that I am not super keen on the reader of these. He isn’t bad by any means compared to some I have heard but the recording picks up a lot of mouth sounds in between which i find a bit off putting and he keeps pronouncing random words from time to time which shouldn’t really annoy me but inevitably does.

My absolute pet hate is how so many readers on audiobooks seem to be unable to pronounce the word “wind” as in “he is going to wind her up” properly. So many pronounce it like wind in “the wind blows” and it is just the most basic thing that shouldn’t annoy me but inevitably pisses me off massively.

Buuuuut anyway, book four, has started off strong enough to get me reinterested so here is hoping!

Meanwhile they still keep pumping filth into the sea and rivers. Fuck these filthy cunts.

Ah OK, sorry, my mistake. I thought you were referring to the brake lever!

When you say the lever is on tight do you mean that the lever is very hard to pull as if that is the case and the wheel is moving towards the brake pad that moves then it could be that you just need to loosen the cable off as essentially the brake may be permanently activated if that cable is too tight.

The disc itself won’t be adjustable but you must have adjustment points on the calipers as calipers are designed to go on numerous different bikes that may all have slightly different spacings so need to have a degree of adjustability to make them work properly. I’d suggest watching a quick you tube video on adjusting cable disc brakes as that may give you some insight on the parts you have and how you can adjust them.

Good luck!

Not a lot of details here so I’m gonna run with some assumptions.

First assumption, you are using a quick release type axle? Even if it is a thru axle type with one of those quick release lever type ends you should first check you aren’t over tightening this. It should be tight enough to be safely attached to the bike, obviously, but if you are over tightening it it can pull the legs of the fork together and thus move the caliper position inwards.

Do you have the correct width hub for the forks? The wheel should not be moving in either direction, the hub should fit nice between the fork legs with just a small amount of slack to be able to get the wheel in and out that is then tightened up with the axle. If your wheel is moving drastically across to either side then maybe your hub is too small and so there is too much space that the tightening process is closing and thus moving the wheel to one side or the other.

Both of those being correct then the only other thing you can look at is adjustment on the brake caliper itself.

The bolts holding it to the fork itself when loosened off will allow the caliper to move in and out, up and down by small amounts so as to position the caliper correctly across different bikes. So the caliper could be attached to far in one direction causing the brake pads to foul on the disc when the wheel is tightened down.

Finally if they are cable actuated discs then only one pad actually moves when the cable is pulled and one is static. The static pad can be wound in and out, towards and away from the disc with an Allen key bolt on the caliper. You should wind this in basically as close as you can get without it ever fouling on the disc when the wheel is moving but caliper not engaged. Too close will cause the brake to drag and be always on a little, too far away and the other pad has to physically bend the disc across to the static pad before the brakes properly activate which is not ideal.

Pictures may help diagnose but those are the first things I’d look into

The UK.

I can’t even put my finger on why it feels similar to me so I can’t quantify that at all, I guess it is just that. A feeling.

The race is on!! :p

My initial thoughts so far are that the writing style / feel reminds me a lot of the Odd Thomas books from Dean Koontz but I will let you know as I go along how I am finding them :D

I really liked BuyMort a lot but I do think it loses steam towards the end. It does come to a good conclusion though and it definitely isn’t bad.

I read DCC afterwards but like you I really felt like they were channelling the same energy!

I can also recommend Solo Levelling if you haven’t read that which is in a similar vein again and Beware of Chicken is also a lot of fun but a bit more feel good sort of vibe!

This week I started The Dresden Files and have made it to the end of the second book in three days. So enjoying it so far!

Thanks for the rec ;p

Hey!

I’m at book 15 out of around 60 in Outlanders and yeh, that is my last lot of books from that universe.

I’m not getting as into outlanders as much as I did Deathlands as there is a lot of travelling between sort of parallel universes and experiencing life through their other world counter parts and I am just not enjoying that element as much.

Consequently I have been looking for other things recently but just this week I started The Dresden Files and I am right near the end of the second book on the third day of starting, so needless to say so far I am quite enjoying that! It has been a long while coming, I first heard of the books because of you when you first started doing these threads however long ago that was and only now am i getting into them :D

Thanks :p

Who cares about best or worst or whatever gate keeping quantifier you want to use.

The best way to learn a language is different for everyone, what ever works for people and helps them to progress as well as remember what they need to for that language is the best way for that person.

Maybe in the long term they might be at more of a disadvantage due to then having to learn the writing system after the fact but they also have the advantage over someone who doesn’t have that prior knowledge that maybe they do, even if they learnt it in romanji.

Surely ultimately the goal is being able to converse with people properly, how someone is able to gain and internalise this knowledge doesn’t matter at all.

Why does it annoy you how other people want to learn? Why does it matter to you at all if they want to solely learn the language using romanji, that is their choice.
