  • Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.

    Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.



  • Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;

    Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.

    If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water

    I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.

    Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.

    I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent


  • Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?

    I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.

    And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?






  • Do you have a flatbed scanner? Like a photocopier printer?

    Literally put the item on the glass of the flatbed and hit scan, stick an etched mm ruler beside it facing the scanner if you want scale.

    It’s generally the most effective way by far to perform this.

    I’ve used it to copy the perfect profile of an extruded aluminium ebike battery housing, to print a replacement cap after the first got cracked.

    Basically when you try to use your phone to perform a task like this, you’ll need to account for the inherent lens distortion of your camera, which is a pain in the ass





  • Honestly the whole blunted effects are really not all that blunted, visuals are still definitely there (especially if you consume cannabis at any point, though I’d also caution against for your first time, and suggest being cautious if you choose to smoke it during the experience even if you do smoke it regularly)

    It would be useful to know which SSRI you’re talking about to gauge possible contraindications…

    LSD and mushroom are both safe with Sertraline (Zoloft)

    Mescaline should also typically be fine.

    DMT will have heavily blunted effects, so likely not with the effort.

    Major contraindications for psychedelics are MAOIs, Lithium, and possibly tricyclic antidepressants (though the I could be misremembering the last one).

    DXM is a 50/50, slight risk of Serotonin syndrome at higher doses if also on medications which are metabolized by the same enzyme pathways
