And he shouldn’t be taking huge doses for the sake of huge doses. It’s not about quantity, it’s about experience. If you want to walk on the edge, you should have someone that wants to walk on the edge with you. He shouldn’t be asking for babysitters. It’s fine to want to experiment, but that shouldn’t become someone else’s responsibility or journey.

I’m not sure if you want to encourage or discourage, but you can find labs where you can legally purchase mushrooms spores, then other sites where you can buy grow bags that take the majority of the effort and chance of failure out of the equation. It’s legal and not a hard thing to find. If you grow them for ingestion… that’s illegal. If you grow them for research and educational value… that’s not illegal, so they can sell to the public.

I’ve grown for personal use your free and on for years. Pick up a couple stringers of spores and a few grow bags and you can control the process. It’s not 100% efficient, so expect 1 out of 3 bags to work, more or less, on the first attempt…

But you should be able to put together an attempt for 50-60$, and it’s a learning experience, if nothing else.

I would suggest everyone tries a reasonable amount of Sharon’s at one point or another in their lives. It’s not quite an out-of-body experience, but it lets you look at your own life through another lens to see what really resonate with you and your desires on how you live.

Ha! They got you to declare it as an occupation. You better not miss a tax filing or you’re screwed… /s

It’s the quasi-legal framework I would be worried about here. Without federal legalization and regulation, you have a patchwork set of rules companies like this operate under that just don’t offer any real protection.

If he’s getting them illegally, there are tons of providers that have good(cultivation) practices… it’s just hard to find one if you don’t already have a connection. Growing mushrooms is easy… just not legal in most places.

The actual text concerning religion says that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;…”. It’s arguable that requiring publicly funding schools to display a specific religions moral code is establishing their religious views as a standard others must follow.

The second part of that (prohibiting the free exercise thereof) is not affected. They are free to do whatever they want in their private homes and institutions. They just are not free to force those practices on others or other’s children. You don’t have the freedom to “exercise” if exercise means forcing your will on others. And anyone that thinks that should be the case is specifically calling to remove that constitutional freedom from our society.

It’s un-American… by definition…

Stretching. Good for flexibility, mobility, and you can combine it with meditation for an added mental health benefit.

I do some research online and watch a few videos for ideas.

Reading, stretching, hiking or just plain walking around the neighborhood or local parks, learning to cook and plan healthy meals…. These are all inexpensive and there is an abundance of free information available online. All of them encourage a healthy lifestyle, which will contribute to to good mental health.

You misspelled tax ‘scam’…

This is the DARE program all over again. No quicker way to lose any trust in your government than getting fed garbage programs before you’re mature enough to understand them. As soon as you realize what’s going on, they lose all credibility…. and it’s hard to get it back once it’s gone.

You also forgot that the first mover takes the heat, then all the other competitors quietly roll out the same feature with no or minimal backlash…

The game be the game, yo.

Not positive, but I think it’s a blend of canola, vegetable, and safflower oil. Whatever it is, it’s mild enough and mostly neutral to give the right flavor.

3-in-1 oil would be… unpleasant…

It’s more complicated, but you can still use crowd-sourcing to recognize the ads. Then use an algo to analyze the ad, frame by frame, and reject that when it shows up.

It’ll take a bit of time, but their strategy isn’t going to last. It’s ‘arms-race’ style escalation on a digital front. Eventually, the crowd sourcing will be replaced by AI/ML tools. Ad companies, like google, will always try to fight back, but open-source will always respond.

You can’t beat nerds that are skilled and passionate about not getting fucked.

Man… I tried using all bacon grease as my fat when I made the roux…. That was a tough gumbo to get through. But canola with a bit of bacon grease is right. If you can find it, 1-2-3 oil in place of the canola is the tits.

Insurance companies give people discounts based on driving habits good driving habits, like the lack of speeding and hard braking… which can be determined by gps. They also charge more for people that drive more miles per year because it exposes the vehicle to more possibilities of being involved in accidents.

It’s not unreasonable for them to ask for access to your gps data… it is definitely unreasonable for you to give them access to your gps data.

I always thought it was a huge concern to let the insurance company have gps access to my phone because it gives them exact times when I am away from my home.

Insurance companies’ more nefarious employees or employee’s friends have an exact playbook for when it’s safe to break into your home, how much money you have(based on how many and the types of cars you have policies on), how many people could be at home (insured on policy), credit rating… etc. It’s not data that you couldn’t get with a bit of research and time, but having a searchable database full of customer info makes it easy to list out hundreds of targets with little effort.

Wait til he finds out aircraft carriers are made out of metal and concrete…

It’s not about how heavy they are, it’s about buoyancy. Fortunately, the engineers building boats aren’t as dumb as him.
