These internet chocolates never contain mushrooms according to everyone I’ve known or read about who have had them. If you’re lucky you get 4-aco-dmt which is safe and hard to tell apart from the real thing. This is an unregulated market and no one else cares about your health. Be careful out there.

I’ve played and given up the mandolin several times over tge past several years. Longest continuous before now was maybe three months. What I’ve learned through my own learning process is:

1. Practice in time. Even if it’s slow.
2. Playing with backing tracks helps a ton
3. Posture is key. On my current streak of playing I was able to go from playing the melody of kids songs to the rhythm of some grateful dead songs (at 80 bpm instead of 140 bpm) after spending time watching videos of how to hold and sit. I then had to relearn all my fingerings but it didn’t take nearly as long this time.
4. Sucking is just part of learning anything new. I guess one either enjoys the act of improving independent of the current result or one doesn’t.

Post script: The reason I quit when I do is because I become frustrated with plateaus. I now believe a lot of these plateaus came from bad mechanics. My pinky could not reach the 7th fret no matter how much I practiced. I could not switch chords without destroying my rhythm or muting extra strings etc.

Cool thanks!

What bands do you recommend that are of the newer style?

His show had an episode with a mom trying to drink like her college daughter. The mom starts going out most nights, eating like shit and feeling bad during the day. The part that has stayed with me for almost 20 years is how the mom was definitely having a good time towards the middle of the month. When I first saw it I was a little younger than the daughter and now I am a little younger than the mom was at filming. When I question if I should start drinking more again, I think of that lady and say “Maybe.”

Free at point of care but taxpayers pay for it

MAGA communism is when instead of returning the means of production to those doing the work one just starts a authoritarian state capitalist regime. I don’t think the government funding gyms is some terrible thing but it won’t stop the “feminization” these people decry.

I remember the pod save America guys talking about him before he was a Texas rep. They were saying how much they liked him and how he helped them sleep and stay up. Being a Dr Feelgood is probably very expected for the role.

The oddest thing about this to me is how multiple people have said they take longer than 6 minute showers. That’s crazy to me.

Probably like linen yellow/brown but uneven

The dad jeans the young women are wearing have wider legs to hide all the extra water

Says that they are about to pass a new measure that targets sexual content and addictive features so I guess “don’t say gay” but on the internet

I watched some of this as it was coming out. At one point the main character’s girlfriend had to strip herself into a gang in front of her boyfriend’s dad to save the bf. There was also a family who just murdered people kind of casually to protect their maple syrup business. This was all in like 1.5 seasons before I feel off the show. It was wild.

Electric kettle. Boiling water. Infuser basket in tea pot for 3 - 5 minutes depending on the type of tea. Drink pot and repeat around 1400

Chinese police operating openly in an EU country. Orban and Putin are both going to turn their countries into Chinese puppet states.

National Review writer I read was saying that the fact it allows 5000 a day is ridiculous so it doesn’t actually matter what the concessions are.

They threw their support behind him in 2020 because he was the incumbent. Same as the DNC did with Biden this time.

I’m a generally habitual pot smoker who has long periods of sobriety due to switching jobs or a few times to support my wife during her pregnancies and I can say that without fail about a week after I stop cannabis I start having super intense dreams for about two weeks then normal dreams after that. When I go back to smoking, I stop dreaming after around a week of use. My sleep quality generally increases without cannabis but I do have ptsd associated nightmares, sweating, yelling etc. Cannabis completely stops my dreaming but I need like 9 or 10 hours of sleep to feel as rested as I do with 6 hrs sober.

If I break it, I buy a better tool. If I lose it, buy a cheap one.

There were groups of armed militia on the border a few years ago. I hope it goes better this time but I doubt it. If anything they are only emboldened.
