Anti-hunger molecule forms after exercise
You're not only burning calories you are restricing them as well!
makes total sense, I never want to eat after exercising, or could this be because the digestive system shut down during exercise and takes a while to get going again? Like after a 100m sprint I can't touch food for at least 30min-45min.

I'll never forget that Casper OG, i've been hopelessly trying to find those terps again but no luck, best strain i've tried in 17 years!
i remember buying a gram of it just to test, then the moment it arrived and i got a whiff of it i immediately ordered as much of it as i could afford which was only another 3.5g, and then a few days later the pope was gone for good : (

Pope was expensive (at the time) but it was man worth the price! Maybe another vendor can snag us some Casper OG! It’ll have to be damn good to match The Popes though right bro!? 😁
I second that 👍😻
Whilst I think Umme from Druids Magic was the finest home grown ever, if I could only take one single strain to a desert island for the rest of my days it would be Smoggy’s Mimosa.
I’m half tempted to do a pilgrimage to Portland to see if I can find it🥴
Whatever happened to Smoggyman? 😞

there was a sativa that next day uk had way back when, it may not be my best strain since but it really stands out. i had only bought off the street before and i simply couldn't believe anything about the experience. a miracle!

Sent my money but not received anything
just use the dispute button, thats what its here for
Sent my money but not received anything
Strainsburys just won’t send my money back sent him 214 for the dust n just been blanked
Unless you have let the dispute window expire then Strainsbury’s does not have your coin- it’s held safely for you in escrow. If you have not received your order after 9 days you can raise a dispute via the tab that appears on your order page….
Sent directly to his wallet understand it’s not through little biggy’s transfer service but is it not just a understanding mistake I can provide his wallet details just want my money back was only going to buy 2z of him anyway can anyone help
You have no comeback with this whatsoever. Transactions are not reversible, so if you don't get a reply or a refund it's gone. That's why the site tells you not to do off-site transactions with warnings depending on how messages are worded, as they can't help you now.
Caveat Emptor, always.
Caveat Emptor, always.
You have no recourse my bigga. Escrow is there solely to stop both parties being scammed. If you don't use it, it's like asking to submit a claim before you have taken out an insurance policy.
The real kick in the teeth too, is that the vendor pays the escrow fees.
Who exactly initiated this direct transaction? Was it your suggestion?

Ment to copy the order number n had his personal in my recent thought I copied n it popped up obviously my mistake but still it’s a mistake n it’s a couple hundred couple weeks work that g
Strainsbury’s got caught out for doing this before if I remember rightly. They may get banned if LB see this.
But seriously you can’t expect the site to refund you can you?…why on earth would they do that?

im not the most experienced but i think if u go outside of lb payment system dont think u have any comeback could be wrong
You're right mate. Transaxe is the backbone of what makes LB work, they won't be able to do anything about a direct transfer.
Why did you pay them directly? Did they advise you to? Taking biggas offsite is a cardinal sin. I'm sorry for you mate but your best shot is the vendor either sending the product or issuing a refund themselves.

Just accidentally bro I had his code in my recent n forgot to comply n paste the order number n just put his thought reputable venders we’re just decent people
Ok, so you must have paid them directly in the past in order to have their address. If you've paid like this before and received the product then hopefully you'll get what you paid for.
In future only make buys via Transaxe so that in situations like this you are protected. As things stand all you can do is contact the vendor as LB has no way of getting the coin. As I mentioned previously, taking biggas offsite to buy is massively frowned upon and it's not a good look for Strainsburys that this topic exists in the first place. Hopefully that will be an incentive for them to resolve this, as it's public now. I hope it works out mate.
Most vendors on here are great, but always be suspicious of anyone who wants to do business outside of Transaxe.

People are asking why you sent direct, its very normal for this to happen and 99% of times vendors honor the deal with their customers.. I've personally sent pistach/bmw $2000+ at a time on a trust basis before i found LB. So dont think you did wrong, its just sad when situations like this happen.
Only one who can return the money is strainsburys. Same thing is happening to me, did you get a refund yet?

What is post-scarcity?
impossibility
a pipe dream, even with free replication of everything people find a way to have scarcity. look at what people pay for things in game worlds.
I like how there's no seatbelts on the Enterprise, even though they get hit by something and the crew gets knocked on their arses in virtually every episode.
Star Trek Discovery has a more stringent HSE who has brought in new seatbelt regulations for the safety of the crew
Aren’t there several episodes where the arms of Kirk’s chair lock down across his thighs? (yep, sounds pretty ridiculous now I’ve typed it 😳)…maybe it was in the films?….defo happened or I’m giving up weed!! 😵💫😉

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD
Well I’ll judge you... if I could give 2 upvotes I would, agree with you totally, 2 of my fave ever shows, making me think of hitting Spaced up again...
Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!
I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha
The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time
The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression
Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan
Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before
People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.
Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this
Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to
Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha
Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one
Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today
Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too
The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature
Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics
Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next
The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer
Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.
The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic
Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development
Currently halfway through the first series of Altered Carbon after reading this thread and seeing your recommendation. I'm a PhilipKDick fan and I'm really enjoying it, cheers 👍
Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.
End of the fucking world is really good. Strange and offbeat which I like. With some characters that don’t give a fuck. And it’s British and very relatable (even though it’s about a lad that thinks he’s a psychopath haha).
100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.
Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.
If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.

yes, they will all help make it worse. on the bright side, since everybody started typing on their phones, dyslexia is hardly noticeable anymore and you really don't have to apologise.

Yean Gomorrah is probably my number 1 show, the setting, actors, story... superb. Cant wait to watch the Ciro Di Marzio movie too.
L'Immortale or the Immortal is the name, was out last year in Italy. Have tried to find out when its out in the UK but no joy yet
Its on sky atlantic now mate, its certainly worth a watch an sets up the next season of Gomorrah nicely
Literally just finished watching brassic 2 and Save me Too. Both class. Surely everyone on here has watched Brassic.....!!!?
I do, doesn't quite hit the levels that Shameless did back in the day but still a lot of fun. Plus it's good to hear actual accents on TV instead of just American lol

On that note, throw Mighty Boosh into the mix as well.

Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)
i liked that a lot more than i thought i would. also, colony on netflix even though it was killed by covid and never finished.
I'm watching Detectorists at the moment. Really good. Funny and with beautiful scenery. On BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
Shout for detectorists.
Great theme tune btw.
Excellent characters.
Great series about the sackler family’s and there murderous medical misbehaviour ( painkiller )
Starring ferris bueller.

Ifyou seen BB, definitely watch Better Call Saul.
Comedy? The Office US and then Parks n Recreation. Or maybe Shameless US? Little Britain it's always great company.
If you seen Broadwalk E, you probably have seen the sopranos. If not its a MUST! Ive been watching House of Cards and it's quite nice too.
Maybe 6 feet under, Weeds, Dexter, Chuck, My name it's Earl??
Cience? COSMOS!!! A mind blowing and mind opening cience series. Everyone should watch it before they die. Either the original and first with Carl Sagan (it might not have the best visual representations but Carl its Carl) or the new Neil Tyson.
In to some stand ups? George Carlin is a must, the young Carlin to the old political Carlin.
I would also like to give a shout out to my Spanish Fellows on THE Money Heist.

Orphan black! one of my favourites.. the wire.. Russian doll..cynical,funny. end of the fucking world. Money heist.. prison break..cleverly written. Better call Saul if you enjoyed breaking bad.
Rick and Morty and weed is my favourite combination. Snoop dog’s talk show on YouTube is hilarious to watch as-well.
I find American horror story hilarious, but only when I’m high, otherwise it’s pretty terrifying lol.
Films : seven psychopaths is a must watch, requiem for a dream and pulp fiction, all time faves. and I did write a detailed review and much more but it was deleted :/

Yo UK Grower. I have just discovered Channel Zero on StarZplay, prime add on. It’s a really good horror series, twisted stuff, defo a bit freaky.
To any one who likes comedies don't be put off What We Do in the Shadows, it's vampires but it's not really a "vampire" type show.... it's really funny when high and the second series has just come out on iplayer.
If you're into Sci-fi I'd highly recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really cool story and visuals. I seen somebody recommended Ozark, excellent as well. If you like animation and feel like a laugh give Rick and Morty a watch, The Midnight Gospel is also new to Netflix but really trippy / funny in my opinion. Happy watching!
I almost pissed myself with laughter watching the first episode as I watched the trailer but wasn't really for how out there this really is. A must watch for any sci fi and gaming fan or if you have a sick sense of humour like me :)
Stranger Things Season 1 - 80's themed sci-fi thriller with endearing characters that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
True Detective Season 1 - Basically an 8 hour movie that oozes quality. Pacing/cinematography/acting/dialogue are all A++ for me.
Trailer Park Boys - Get baked, watch this, laugh your arse off.
Peep Show - Clever and hilarious.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great shout! Any recommendations of war films/series that are similar mate?
Give 'The Pacific' a go. Its HBOs follow up to 'Band Of Brothers' set during the allied assault on the Pacific region during WW2
Trailer Park Boys should be perfect for everyone on here, given the enormous amount of smoking and growing throughout!
Since it hasn’t been mentioned here , it only proves how massively underrated Wilfred is . Had great laughs :) U.S. version of an Australian cult sitcom about a meek young man and a pot-smoking talking dog named Wilfred (actually actor Jason Gann in a dog suit, whom everyone else sees as just a dog). Won’t spoilt it anymore
Watching Yellowjackets at the moment, pretty good but if you watch the pilot episode don’t be put off as that’s a bit shit, it does get better!
Watched “From” before that, that was pretty good too…
Watched “From” before that, that was pretty good too…
The Start Up, it's on Netflix. 2 series' that I've thoroughly enjoyed. Defo worth a watch!
just call Saul was better than breaking bad in some ways (last series a bit disappointing tho). Always interested to see if people liked the Midnight Gospel (single series, animation, also Netflix).
If you liked Breaking Bad you might like Better Call Saul... it's slower but the writing and cinematography are actually better imo. Plus by S5 the pace is basically on BB levels.
Undone is good and trippy with the animation style it uses and pretty unique story to boot.
You (season 1). Solid watch but latest series was a waste of time.

Loads of top shows already mentioned on this list so trying not to repeat(can't stand repeats). Didn't notice a mention for The Newsroom, absolutely brilliant with super slick dialogue, maybe stick to sativa for that one.
Also the classic stoner sit coms Top Buzzer starring a young Steven Graham and Ideal with Jonny Vegas, they will do for the indica night.
Once the hash and concentrates come out just put Taskmaster on it is the best thing c4 have done for a long time and requires zero brain power to enjoy perfect couch lock fodder

Fargo is probably the best series ever after GOT. Better Call Saul was brilliant too after a slow start. Better than Breaking Bad for me.
All the seasons are good and different stories so don't need to watch in order. All true apparently. The movie's a bit dated now but a great watch too.

Brand New Cherry Flavour if you think you'd find the subject of psychedelic sorcery played out as a fictional horror story interesting
Murder Mountain on Netflix. An oldie but a goodie. All about the emerald triangle in California and how it moved from illegal weed growing into legalisation and the lawless nature of the industry.
Often overlooked, but Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame created this absolute gem....highly reccomend...as smart as it is funny...
15/7.
You could try black mirror.
A selection of engrossing stories some weird and some mind blowing.. spanning 6 seasons between 4 n 6 eps each.
Can’t remember all but loch Henry and demon 79 were fck brilliant from the last season. 🌬️🍀

I'm surprised no one suggested Family Business (on Netflix). A great comedy series about a family in Paris who runs a Kosher butchers and end up producing vast amounts of Pastraweed!
Really funny, great actors and all around fun to watch.
A French Breaking Bad without all the stress in a way!

I never thought I'd see someone mention The Platform. Great film if you've got your stone on! Alice in Borderland is brilliant also it's like a mash-up of The Prisoner and Battle Royale.
I know this is a bit of old news but have you seen Schitts Creek? I just discovered it and it is so funny
The Christmas special of Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing done in THE most beautiful part of the country North Yorkshire! Great watch when baked as fuck haha :)
The Grand Tour is back as well for anyone in to that, done to death obviously but atleast it's something new to watch lol

The Man in the High Castle is loads of fun, especially if you’re a fan of PKD. Classic UK series that are great: Line of Duty, The Fall, Peep Show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Devs.
New Alex Garland (Ex Machina) series on FX & Hulu in the states, not sure where in the UK. Totally brilliant, and the best cinematography I've seen on TV. Ran here in spring 2020 and I'm still thinking about it.

New British comedy horror on prime with Simon Pegg and nick frost, only a short one but was enjoyable, there’s this once scene when nick frost thinks he is about to get shanked and it’s hilarious.
It’s called Truth Seekers

Succession is better than you'd think. Punisher is the best out of all the Marvel shows, Daredevil is also very watchable (and Jessica Jones if you're into angry women with PTSD). Umbrella Academy is fun to watch. The Magicians ditto. Also The Boys.
One of my all-time favourites will always be Daria.
I just love that sassy, sarcastic, little oddball in her socially satire highschool world. Sometimes it hits close to home.
Hoops on Netflix is also worth one or two laughs.
Tuca & Berti is also the right amount of strange.
Our Planet is a great background noise, a lot of beautiful scenery overviews.
Not in Netflix, but how about the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel. It's funny, educational, soothing commentary,cute Art style a great variety of topics etc.

Greatest Comedy Sketches Of All Time
Let's create a compilation.hoping to see some that may have flown under my radar..anyways....for your consideration...Peter Cook and Dudley Moore 'The Frog & Peach'
Great post, I got lost down a wormhole of genius sketches last night trying to pick my favourite and i couldnt so i figured id come back today and keep it easy.
Pete and Dud though 💜💚
Pete and Dud though 💜💚
Not quite a sketch I guess but immediately thouguht of this ^ love this series of interviews. Two geniuses.
Absolutely loved this. Completely unscripted...Two absolute satirical heavyweights and two of the finest comic minds to have ever lived....only wish Peter Cook was around longer to develop a long and fruitful working relationship with Chris Morris
For sure, and if only! But at least we have these utter gems, I'm thankful for that :)
Chris's Morris's own darkly disturbing piece of comedy genius 'Jam" produced its share of memorable moments....this absolutely being one...
Brilliant. I straightaway thought of Jam too - so many good scenes there - and his radio series Blue Jam before that. The monologue above is quite a trip. So good stoned as well :D
Most of the clips i struggled to choose between when this was first posted had Chris Morris involved in some way, obviously Jam, Brass Eye and The Day today are all genius but hes had a hand in so many other great comedy moments, like as the narrator here...
Fantastic - just my sort of comedy! I missed this first time round. Big fan of Spaced, League, Big Train, etc. AND ambient music. Gonna listen to this series on headphones and there is a "remix" version (whaaa...?) of Jam called Jaaaam that looks good, too.
Found this compilation of the "Doctor" scenes. Not everyone's cup of tea but that's why I like it. byyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee

There was a Chris Morris short which was pretty much a precursor to Jam .

Are you male or female? There are some wonderful natural supplements which actually contain Siberian ginseng as one of their 5 ingredients, they are specifically targeted at women but men can take them as well, they balance hormones mainly and you’d be surprised how many things they help with.
It\s not primarily aimed at women ask any Hollistic or alt doctor. . They balance your whole system not just hormones. .
According to studies, Siberian Ginseng for men may also help increase testosterone levels, and enhance physical and mental health (AKA stops depression. happy pills) Use that and creatine in snalll doses for health look into creatine for depression and over all mens health and u will never need a ssri ever again my friend
Medis just aim it at woman . not in generally aimed at females.

Hey. Recently stopped sertraline myself - turned me into a zombie. I got the withdrawal brain zaps - first few weeks is horrible, with the emotional control of a toddler but after about a month, I felt more in control and less zappy.
Ngl I smoked my way through the withdrawal, probably not what a GP would recommend 😆 - definitely helped, got a big ol bag of my fave stinky stardawg, put on all my favourite films and easy comfort food, battened down the hatches through that turmoil feeling. Warned my work mates that I might be more blunt than normal cos of it lol. Took some days off work when it was really bad. Worst of it was definitely the first month then felt noticeably more myself again.
Probs about 2 months after I feel normalish (whatever the fuck that is!) and less zombie like. I guess the length of withdrawal depends on the person and how long you been taking em for. The best advice I have been given in this subject is please be kind to yourself and be patient with yourself, you are undergoing some changes to brain chemistry - ain’t no escaping that. But it will pass. Good luck pal, fingers and toes crossed for ya

Glad to hear someone else coming off! I’m currently coming off Effexor and it’s been hellish. I’ve been using a lot of Indica and also literally allocating a “nap time” like a toddler just to lie down in the dark for 30-40 minutes with no stimuli - really helped. Vitamin D as well as Omega 3, Magnesium L-Threonate and B-12 every day reaaaally makes a difference. 🤞
Evil stuff, friend of mine was given it by a doctor. Ruined him as a human, he has no emotion to anything his life is collapsing around him and he doesn't care.

guiltless game for 6 year olds?
a small lego set takes up the same space as a phone basically. just sayin
My understanding is that there's a service called apple play or similar.
It's a subscription which is lame, but for a small cost you get access to a large number of games. The real boon of this service is that none of the games have predatory or manipulative cash shops.

Depending on their age. Trust me.
Don’t give them any games at all. Don’t let them have your phone.
We wish we’d never let them have computer games now. It’s all they want to do. (5 and 8)
Leave it as long as you possibly can. And limit their time.
It’s caused us no end of trouble.

I've seen this before, either LB is doing this or the vendors are having their own influence over it, just possibly maybe the biggas who wrote the post deleted it but they wont answer so i doubt it. As soon as I added my 2 cents the post is not there and i cant see the reply, seems like I hit a nerve?

I was voicing my concerns with a few recent purchases I had made from said vendor and the post was deleted before I could see their reply. Says it all really. I've seen this before, if no one ever complains or isn't seen to be complaining, well there obviously isn't a problem is there?

suggested prompts for negotiating rent?
my landlord wants to raise my rent and i'd rather not deal with this shit right now but i can't pay what he's asking for this place. seems perfect for a.i. but i want to use the right prompts.
Dear [Landlord's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you regarding the recent request for an increase in rent. As a tenant who has always paid rent on time and taken care of your property, I want to express my concern about the proposed increase in rent.
As you may be aware, the economic situation has been difficult for many people due to the pandemic, and I am no exception. Unfortunately, my financial situation has not improved, and I am unable to afford the new rent cost. I would like to bring to your attention the financial struggles that I am facing, including [insert specific financial challenges, such as job loss or reduction in hours, unexpected expenses, etc.]
In light of these circumstances, I kindly request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase. I would be willing to discuss alternative solutions to help alleviate any financial burdens, such as a temporary reduction in rent or a payment plan that would allow me to gradually catch up with the increased rent.
I value the positive relationship we have built over the years, and I hope that we can work together to find a solution that benefits both parties. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

writing in the style of a cordial yet firm attorney write 3 sentences explaining why a rent increase is not feasible for me.
not bad, running this in chatgpt3 you get:
Dear Landlord,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed rent increase. While I appreciate your efforts to maintain the property, I must respectfully decline the increase as it is not feasible for me at this time. As you are aware, I have been a responsible and timely payer of rent and I trust that we can find an amicable solution that is beneficial for both parties.

As my client’s legal representative, I must articulate that the proposed rent increase is untenable for them, due to financial hardships that have been exacerbated by recent events. This increase, regrettably, does not align with the spirit of fairness nor the original understanding between landlord and tenant, potentially placing an undue burden on my client. We respectfully urge a reconsideration of this decision, seeking a compromise that maintains the tenancy while respecting my client’s financial realities.
look up other rent in the area, if it is out of line with that, that should be your main point.
if it is in line then stres you cannot afford it (we are in a cost of living crisis) and stress how good a tenant you've been
good luck
if it is in line then stres you cannot afford it (we are in a cost of living crisis) and stress how good a tenant you've been

You can also research if criminal activity has increased in the area in the last year. I've used it once as argument and it worked

Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Then hookup an AI to make favorable decisions for us, then... It seems all paths lead to the same place :()
Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Hey, I dont know if this has already been covered on here but it's something I find fascinating since I was introduced to Prof. David Sinclair by the Joe Rogan experience (#1234 and #1349 if you're interested)
I have attached an article about a small study that was done in California. The study only had 9 subjects and no control arm so I dont think we can take it TOO seriously. But the results, quite frankly, were astonishing.
I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

Thanks just that genetic measurement of age is an eye opener. Seems once you can do this you can measure everything we do against it.
Hey Han, yes indeed it is an eye opener. From what I've read that will be exactly the case. We should be able to mesure how specific habits etc. directly affect the epigenetic (horvath) clock. Exciting times for sure!
Then hookup an AI to make favorable decisions for us, then... It seems all paths lead to the same place :()
Yeah, a dirty dystopia where the "elites" AI our buttholes to oblivion. Im not down with that shit!
Why? shouldn't we all be asking why we want to live longer, rather than going along with that reactionary action from deep in the psyche of 'Yes ofcourse I want to live longer!' and I don't care why I do........
To evolve we pass on our genes and die. An understanding of genetics shows no other purpose for life. Old age, indeed any age beyond reproductive usefulness is a human conceit. The body degrades quickly like a flower wilts but we use our superior intelligence for methods to extend our time. It’s all hubris.
If I could recommend one book everyone should read this year it would be Lifespan.
It's science, it's facts, it's perspective shattering and throughouly enjoyable

High Times Top Strains 1977
1970s cannabis dispute settlement, there's a prompt
I started smoking weed in '70, and the main difference I can tell between late 70s and now is that back then sinsemilla was just a part of the market, with a lot of packages containing seeds and more leaf and stem (amount varied with price). Today it's all sinsemilla (so much so that the term isn't even used anymore). The quality is pretty much the same. We had thai sticks and Hawaiian that certainly equaled top shelf strains of today (as far as anyone could tell - there wasn't much precision on reporting THC levels). I'm happy with the situation, but I stopped smoking between about '83 and 2009 (job), and wasn't amazed by any changes in potency; just the fact that it's all sinsemilla. I did feel silly when I first got back in the market and asked a seller whether or not his product was sinsemilla and he didn't know wtf I was talking about. I quickly found out that was a stupid question... :>)
I remember references to what I thought was the "sense" now I get that was sinsimilla :) Thanks
Yep, that's what it was called. Just Spanish for "without seed". Speaking of Spanish, if we could find Oaxacan sinse we considered ourselves lucky, because it was just about as good as Thai but cheaper. Availability (in my part of Texas) wasn't reliable at all though. Now, it's like going to the weed supermarket. We're living in the future in that sense. Life is good and getting better...
Started smoking back in the 80s red leb ,black.good shit joints or hot knives they rocked.
Yeah bro the stuff with the cloth attached to it, red leb think there was gold leb too it was lovenly stuff. Early 90s.
How did people live with that? With the way weed has gone it's a different world and are kids will think the same as are weed lol
I was there from 1972-ish, it was mostly pretty good in the Uk depending who you knew, or what grew ;) Avoiding the street ofc.
Most of the pictured weed was grown outdoors on a hillside without fertilisers, boosters and the other shit habitually used today.
I partook in the some of the countries of origin at the time too, thank you Magic Bus. I preferred hash at the time and still do, real Temple Balls were trippy, Leb was a knockout and the black in the Dam was unbelievable and so on. Impossible to get around here, so pleased to have found LB at last!

If i got any of that in the post I'd probably raise a dispute. Though I did buy thai stick and brick pack in the 90's. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of the hash scene back then. All the hash bars look the same now. Just with a different picture under the cellophane. Picture looks like it came off someone's home printer. No finesse to hash bars these days.

Hi Buddy
No they don't - the main reason for this is the additional cost, as these are given as freebies we have to keep cost down. Second reason is they are sent randomly free with orders so the people recieving them already have an account and are already registered on littlebiggy so we feel the link would be a little redundant.to these people
We do have other merch accessories and stickers for when we're at events and gatherings which do have our QR code on 👍

Someone already having an account doesn't stop a referral through a link. 🤐 Plus, maybe it gets gifted as they already have one, then someone else uses the link...? Maybe more than once...? Maybe they tell their friends to scan it when they ask on a night out? If people aren't using their referral links then they're potentially losing out on a lot of money. PM me if you want more specific info mate. You've been a great vendor for me and I'll always sing your praises. My mate mocked me when he picked up your sticker though, but he's a knob.
Probably so, but he can have 1. I have 3 (I think?) and don't have many things to put stickers on at my stage in life. They're very cool though, and made me smile.
Whoever does it can advertise and have the users land on a reference code, will make more money than store.
Bongs, grinders, etc? I suppose it could be a way for people to discretely order the essentials.
There are bitcoin transaction and conversion fees for the buyers and biggy fees for the sellers. Why would someone not just go to Amazon for their grinders and such?

Absolutely love the gravediggaz’s. All the wu side projects fascinated me back then, but really enjoyed this ‘horror hip-hop’ thread! Listened to their two albums quite a bit on my night shifts last week actually. 👌
The Pick, the Sickle and the Shovel is the second studio album is my fav.
ODB was not crazy. the stuff he was saying was just way over peoples heads and beliefs.
Rza on production. raekwon. gza and the whole team together bring the wu as one.

Probably the most technical rapper from the group who isn't spoken about enough the first time I heard "I bomb atomically, Socrates philosophies and hypothesis cant define how I be dropping these mockeries", I was geeking- the only one from the group that's lyrically as sharp is GZA

can the USA be fixed?
in England we grew up loving American cowboy movies and the hero was always the same: quiet, cool and strong. to an outsider it seems this guy is dead and the cunt that owns the town and is always looking for more is the new America
Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.
there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now
Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.
Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.
tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.
Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.
space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.
Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.
Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.
go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war
Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.
competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play
No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.
Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....
Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....
This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.
Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...
Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.
Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?
I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.
Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.
The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now

best ways to partake broke?
It is cooler but feels more like exhaust to me.
Everyone's an expert, so here's two pennies' worth: buy the best quality you can afford and enjoy it until it runs out. When you can afford to buy again, buy again. This strategy is invariably better than endless shake or cheap commercial hash.
Seriously, hyper-economising ruins the fun. It doesn't make sense to spend half your high trying to mop up every crumb from your grinder, or in coughing fits because you absolutely must capture every last molecule of smoke out of your piece. As for drinking bong water...strep, black mildew, E.coli, proteus - to name a few.

As for drinking bong water...strep, black mildew, E.coli, proteus - to name a few.
The shake situation generally depends on the person. I myself don't get the effects from weed anymore as my tolerance is so high and I'm also not working atm. Shake is good for the fact it's still cheaper than buying a cheap oz of buds and will last longer. Not everyone smokes for the buzz my man
Best practice is no waste. Smoke burning into the air is throwing away cannabis. Stems and sticks are not for the smoking but they can all be cooked in edibles.
True this, I have an old hippie friend that would smoke joints backwards only sipping on the smoke from the burning end.
Grind your cannabis! This brings out the good parts and nearly doubles the potency of your stash!
Or "surface area" which most people learn at 14 in school with basic chemistry reactions.
You only want to grind it just before smoking though because a bigger mass (bigger buds) will store longer for the same reason. Less exposure.
I go through the smallest bit first for that reason.

I agree with this. I used to smoke hash years ago and it blew my mind when introduced to weed. Aw, memories
Used to be my favourite way of smoking hash, no wastage and a good strong stoning. Now I just use a dynavap haha
Decent vape plus shake and hash as they are the best bang for buck imo.
Hash is high quality and cheap right now so offers more thc than most buds

This is my philosophy right now, i keep two types of shake, two types of hash and two carts, all from LB referrals. It is possible to have a completely free rotation, long live LB.
Shotties mate
9mm copper piping, coke bottle with water, small bit of fag cut off with blade and stamp in hash. High as fuck

smoke pure always. Get a bong and work out exactly how much you can smoke up and hold for time. Pull til the smoke nearly touches your lips, cover with your hand and take a full breath of air. Big exhale then rip the smoke up and hold in til the world seems better...
Served me well as a struggling stoner in the early years. Vapes also really good option, bit more high tech and different high than smoking though.
Hash prob better value than flower, though can get a decent high off of shake/bottom buds which you might find cheaper on here.
Peace

Haha once saw my little sister who was off her face at the time pick up a shorty bottle ( was no where near clean lol like the black ones ) and drink half the water
Back in the 90s a dude i knew hit the bong full of poppers and a tobacco/soap bar (crap hash) mix. Ripped it clean before he went green...
Get a magic flight launch box with a power adapter and batteries then learn how to use it well. No other way can make herbs last as long as this little baby. ( my first vape). You can also smoke eat or make butter with your leftovers its a win win situation. Bit for a J can last for hours in this little baby. The high builds gradually but can get you totaly baked if you so wish.
I have gone through this, the best way for me was to 'time' when I smoked, so not having money you need discipline, you can't smoke all day long, see this as a warning that you need to sort shit out! So when I went through a bad patch with money and work during covid I just waited until 5-6pm everyday before having a joint, and made them very weak, after 1-2 days you can get used to this as long as you defo wait until the evening (it will reduce your tolerance too), I found this worked out brilliant as I got stuff done during the day, studied and then had a few joints at night with a few Budweiser's job done! (Beer can help to fill a gap temporarily whilst you reduce your tolerance down to a smoking style you can afford) This will make you experience gratitude on another level and then when you do have the money again (which will happen very soon!) you will have a much better balance! I wish you the best and you will be back on your feet in no time, I think most of us go through this! This man got me through hard ass times! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP8c6yk7R1A&ab_channel=AMFUNK
Definitely shake ! We have a lot of regular customers for shake because it’s the best bang for your buck ! Super cheap yet still super high grade and enough to get you going for a while 🥰
Strainsburies have you been hackd ontg I had made and paid for an order 2z shake last month and still haven't received anything, but only been strung along by a few messages since, it's medi Cater if you could please reply to me there thanks.
I used to smoke a quarter of weed a week and that would cost me £60-70. For the last eight years I’ve been vaping concentrates instead and a gram of that is roughly £40-50. So I’ve literally been saving £20-30 per week and I’m sure my lungs are better for it.
a good bong and don't kain your weed also T-breaks are a must . and sometimes a spliff is better (Unless you wanna get proper munted ( just don't go over board and remeber the T-breaks)
In all fainess I purchase some quality shake/trim & popcorn buds. Get plenty of bang for your buck and there's some tasty looking stuff on a few vendors pages. I got 7g last week and there was plenty of buds in it
use eagle bill shake and vape pipe it is a normal glass vape pipe use the opening as a bowl and when you run out it's collected so much THC rich oil on the glass forms VERY strong stuff you can heat as it's glass made to be heated from the glass bubble to the stem or using a little water to soften in up you can use paper clips straitened with a loop on the end to strip the pipe literally clean and gather the now thick dark/black deposit out and a gram of that lasts ages.
It's harsh to smoke but stronger than premium dutch hash type stuff. Also if you're in any country with a cannabis cafe many people take the rubbish bags from cannabis cafes in Holland where they often separate food from waste joints, this may also apply to some US dispensaries although i don't know if that's legal.
This is legal in the Netherlands and many people in them smoke pure weed joints and even then leave a lot unsmoked...but for the love of god DO NOT DRINK BONG WATER
THC has extremely low solubility in water and secondly bong water should be fresh with every use if your bong water has gotten to the point that it has THC in it then it's been there for weeks and is literally just stagnant water that has collected all the cyanide and other things present in smoke and cultured an amount of bacteria likely many times dirtier than your toilet

…
I have 2 really unappealing words to say so hear me out, don't judge. The 2 words are bong water. Do not drink of course, not directly. As part of a smoothie, yes. Shit works great and it's more than free its fucking recycling.
Careful, bong water liquid can quikly provide a potentially sickening "smoothie" as bacteria from various contaminents (few people are known to fadtidiously scrub the inside of the bong cylinder, even fewer are known for changing the water on a per-use basis. Also, i'm not so sure the solids you would be consuming are that pschoactive - thc is not soluble in H2O to my knowledge.
Good luck! ?

Any metalheads on here?
Hey guys hope you’re all having a cool weekend. Just wondering are there Any metalheads on LB? I love most metal but my fave genres are probably blackgaze and post black metal. I really like Alcest and Panopticon I’d say they’re the bands I’m listening to the most right now. I remember people telling me when I was a teenager I’d grow out of metal,well I’m in my 40s now and still listening just as much if not more. It really is a way of life. Love and peace.
The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.
Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.
Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.
I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.
yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead
Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.
No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal
Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.
sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..
Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?
I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.
I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.
My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.
If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..
Metal is definitely a way of life.
Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

1."Reign in Bud" - Slayer (A stoner metal twist on Slayer's classic "Reign in Blood")
2."Black Sabbath's Munchies" - Black Sabbath (Featuring their heaviest hits to satisfy the munchies)
3."Master of Bongs" - Metallica (An epic blend of metal and cannabis-inspired anthems)
4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)
5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.
Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.
lots of metal plays at the local gym, Sepultura, Nailbomb, SOAD, Pantera, Mastodon, Deftones, DOWN, Black Label Society, TOOL and some others I cant remember the name of
Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one
Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man I’ll check them out. I’m seeing Alcest in October and can’t wait for that.
Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.
Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.
But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Yeah I was thinking the same,that’s why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.
Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasn’t for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.
Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.
Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.
They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘
I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.
Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.
Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.
Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..
Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.
and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...
Thanks for the recommendation man. I’ll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.

what about addiction to drama?
not that any bigga would know such people but how can we satisfy them with minimal toxicity?
I would just like to add my thoughts if I may Thom on your thread
I think everyone in the world has something they are addicted to...which could be ANYTHING ... edible or not ... drama addicts are best in groups with others who are of the same ilk, just like a hobby club or something.
I am addicted to nature, and cheese ! ... I could not be indoors for to long, also was addicted to being alone...so literally a human can be addicted to anything...best leave everyone to it ... and just worry about you and yours. Addictions come and go. Some take a hold of you. And others are just a 'binge' session that caused the addiction etc
As for anger... I would like to say that if you do not feel anger after grief... it can lead to severe depression... anger is a natural emotion, that is often not 'allowed' .... BUT ... after grief and sorrow and loss...there is an anger period that must be embraced...so that it does not turn inwards, then comes the peace and understanding...but if anger is not tolerated (even in natural circumstances) then we are heading for a very mentally ill planet. Anger must be safely expressed so that the healthier emotions/feelings can surface...and set the brain straight !
I also recently found out that Tinnitus (that ringing in the ears) causes depression and anxiety, to the point where millions are seeking help through the mental hospitals, because of low funding for research into Tinnitus.
I have it... and it drives me mad sometimes... there is no known cure at the mo... I have learned to live with it...and now I barely notice I have it... last week the estimate was 3.6 million sufferers in the UK alone ... who have no where to turn. As very little funding for them to find a cure.
I would like to hear from anyone else who has any solutions for this, or something that works for them in order to cope with it. I have done alot of research over the years...but it would be great to hear from real people about this ?
Just thought I would mention that briefly, as it may help some people understand what they are going through!

oculus favourites?
its amazing, you fight with your heart right from the start
Is this the boxing one? I think I saw a game play video a while back and I got a sweat on just watching it lol.
Currently playing The Exorcist: Legion. Seems quite good so far.
I'll keep an eye on this thread for recommendations though!

I love it but I'm reeeally bad at it. Fine to start with but when it speeds up I'm done lol
Glad I’m not the only one 😂
Good game for parties and people who are new to VR as it’s quite intuitive. Easy to pick up and play but tricky to master.

Yeah definitely great if you've got people around lol. Is there any bowling games that you know are good. Ooo or maybe darts or something. I'll have to have a Google!
Half Life 2 VR mod, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Blade and Sorcery, Ancient Dungeon. I've played a lot of VR games and the Half Life 2 VR mod is what I am playing right now and I love it so much. The game design of that game translates so well in VR and I haven't got bored of this 20 year old game that I have completed so many times.
Very excited to see what the Apple Vision Pro can do, the headset is so god damn powerful that it will easily do seamless AR / VR processing. Hell yeah its expensive, but to me this headset might finally be the birth of non controller vr, eye tracking as well as 4K viewing.
Unity have a deal with Apple and have released a APK package to start making games for that headset, Unreal Engine has a feud with Apple because of Fortnite revenue. So at the moment you have to install multiple packages to start working on that but I like what they have done for AR experience of leaving notes in your home in the digital world of chaning the size of objects.

Anyone tried Gorilla Tag? The Crotch Goblins play it. I'm creased just watching them but never tried it although they keep asking me to!

Incentivising Posts
Providing any advantage to users that post on your behalf is prohibited and will result in suspension from the wall.
thanks there is just way too much of this. when someone takes the time to take photos and write a review it's fantastic, especially if they show some balls and compare with other items.
ads are just gross and if there is any promise to this community surely a corrupt path into making this an advertising site is not the way.

I have a problem with this statement because it’s particularly ambiguous in that typical Borg/Bot way.
What does “post on your behalf” mean? Do you mean product reviews?
( - despite the fact these can obviously be negative as well as positive?)
Most Biggas have benefited from the odd freebie included with their order that vendors want feedback on- you really want to shut that down?
Many Biggas have participated in competitions and reviewed their winnings- you really want to shut that down?
These things fire up the Community- you really want to shut that down?
If these points are wide of the mark I apologise but then do us the decency of stopping the daft robo-talk, and really talk to us….😘

one thing is super clear: the sellers protesting this have tons of worthless posts. the green team fills the wall with 1 line ass kisses from their buyers like every hour. i cant believe the algo allows this.
the wall is degrading enough to its readers when its just sycophants cuddling up but when the posters are charmless its just shite.

I agree with you in a general sense, when the wall fills up with shit the whole site feels dodge. A couple of points though:
It's very real for some one to make a one off post being completely stoked, stoned, and stupid, this whole experience is like a miracle when you are a noob and even as a vet you can have that 1 moment of inspiration. When a seller's page is filled with that then yeah it's crap and the algo should kill that hard.
It's human (borg?) nature that special interests speak out when an issue comes up - they are the ones effected. Even in general, look at the numbers, it's a very small fraction of biggas that ever make a post. No one even knows where most biggas stand on anything at least not from reading the posts I think the algos have a way better shot at this (but that's not so easily verifiable).
And a rational policy discussion is an unsolved problem for little biggy :)

Good points there imo, especially the last one👍
The interesting thing for me is that if the topics wall is such a momentous pain in the arse, so full of abuse, trolls, corruption and sin why doesn’t LB just switch it off? What difference would it make? Is any Bigga going to say “oh no, no topics anymore! -that’s it I will buy my illegal drugs elsewhere!” 😳😂….the items wall, the reviews, private messaging and the Borgs would get 100% of the business done. And your point that only a fraction of Biggas connect with the topics wall anyway is very true I’m sure.
But, for better or worse, Biggy wants to be a Community and I think it is. Not a perfect one because this is the internet. But I know from my experiences just how much I have learnt on here (a truly vast amount!), the friends made, the laughs had. Yes I’ve had daft trolls, been doxxed and had rather unpleasant threats but hey, it’s the internet!😂
I think it’s a great community and I don’t understand why people get so angry about it. I really don’t 🤷♂️…
Long Live LB 🥳😘

Funny, these days I've been heading straight to the topics wall. I kinda like the engagement. Especially music wise. Sad thing is not one of my friends is a vaper of weed. I do it on my own so chatting shit while high on here can he fun and as close to a sesh in real life as I get now. My only ither vaping pal is in another country and didnt even vape last time we hung out. The lack of social interaction while high hurts.
jeez, not unhappy enough to make a personal jab like this polly. i thought you were a sweet dog
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well said my friend. In what regards do they class “advantage”
I get that venders can create alt accounts and review their own product but most bigga’s can see right though that by clicking on the profile and looking at that. Product released 2 days ago. Reviewed one day ago. Joined January 2023 and the gear is fire 🔥
Where is the line in regards to established users and venders ?
In every part of consumerism the retailer is always looking for an advantage. That’s the nature of the beast. Club card points, buy one get one free.
Food critics for restaurants
Mystery shoppers
99% of venders posts are surly to give the “retailer” an advantage to boost sales. Like advertising 🤷♂️
Brands get celebs, sports persons but more in line with LB chiefs to endorse the product.
I’ve always said that I don’t review products that I have not purchased due to the fact that it would make me feel uncomfortable if I had to write a bad review. Now sweetens that they have added in my opinion is fair game. They are not obliged to send it. I’ve not asked for it. Do I appreciate it of course I do. We all do. So if I was to comment or review said sweetener. Like polly said is that a breach of the rules.
Again comps especially interactive ones. I’ve seen comps pulled because the vendor was unaware of what is or is not classed as an advantage
Like us all.
Just talk to the community
I think that common sense should prevail.

Speechless mate, common sense all the way! So I was taken off the wall and topics board a few weeks ago because of my competition and customers supporting me? Wow! 🧐

Is this why I was put in LB jail for a week? Only because some of my customers posted regarding my page? Wow 🧐☹️
maybe because sellers with 10x your customer base have 1/10th of the testimonials, this is just how an algorithm looks at things.
You sure it’s you genetics of TGT?
Not throwing shade as couldn’t care less tbh, but they do a loyalty scheme that incentivises you to review.
Like an app and you get gems lol
Not for me, but has resulted in a fuck tonne of post reviews. Many lacking substance and similar to the usual 1 out of 10 / 10/10s we give 😂
didn’t know you got sin binned or anything, but if I just read post Then TGT falls into that category the most.
Again, no hate or anything meant TGT as love your bud lol just who I would think and comes under the Borg like post 😂
Anyway, Apex posts for biggas only to help get user descriptions and help you make an informed purchase in these tight times ❤️

We have now corrected our bonus scheme, users only have to save their order numbers.
Hey GeneticsHub :-) Can you tell us more about LB jail as we found out 2 days ago our page is restricted and we have no idea why - we didnt incentivising anyone / anything - confused! Any help will be much appreciated!
What a massively ambiguous post. Presumably posted to be deliberately ambiguous? Is this why so many of my reviews (almost all paid for by me) disappear from the wall? Removed by AI after a few posts? Seems regular recently, and makes me less bothered about posting reviews that aren't visible within hours of posting.
Yes, as a reader I take it precisely as this. Most reviews read like hagiography looking for favours in return, made worse when more sycophants join the conversation.
Rux the wall the Borg's talking about is the items for sale wall and removing vendors from that
The Borg post is specifically aimed at vendors not at users
What yours experiencing with your posts disappearing is standard topics randomness it happens to me and Polly and Daz and
Some posts stick and gain traction others disappear into the ether
Anyhow, tldr don't take it personally and I don't think that's what this post is addressing 🙌❤️

oil + flower in the vape?
got some full spectrum oil and flower. in my pipe id just top it off w/o a care.
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
but can I put it in my mighty vape without fucking up this expensive machine?
The mighty certainly has the voltage to vape concentrates. I would usually suggest using degummed hemp fibre to absorb the oil Having not really looked at it, I'm not sure of the chamber makeup, but a quick search shows that you can get specially made liquid drip pads for the mighty that are manufactured to fit the chamber but not the dosing capsules. That will be your best bet.
Use some.bacon cotton or the mighty concentrate pillows. They are just like bacon cotton made of metal so can be reused.
Personally I wasn't a fan of using concentrates in my mighty, your better off spending £28 and buying an AIO which is made specifically for the job and does it very well.

How long do stores retain camera records
Just thinking of my video trail buying cards for my Bitcoin
In the UK there's no hard line rules on this.
They could in theory store it forever but most likely they'll have a system running on finite memory that'll override older recordings and would only be likely to inspect and seperate footage to evidence a crime.

Pretty sure its maximum 31 days due to privacy laws, unless there is a good reason to extend beyond that. It is unlikely a small store would have good reason, whereas an airport or bank might.
on this topic, whenever I see a camera pointing at me in a shop or my face on a monitor I like to take a moment to gesticulate obscenely (you can use your imagination) in the hope that someone one day will review the footage see it.
It is an invasion of privacy, but damn it I have to eat

why is my back pain and its relief all over the place?
usually starts with hips being pinched then my lower back starts hurting then my legs. bending my feet or even fingers seems to offer a little relief.
all these parts are connected mechanically, electrically, and chemically. but that's also helpful in treatment. have a look at this
"Referred pain" is usually felt in the low back area and tends to radiate into the groin, buttock and upper thigh. The pain often moves around, and rarely radiates below the knee.
Referred pain is analogous to the pain that radiates down the left arm during a heart attack. It is the result of the extensive network of interconnecting sensory nerves that supply many of the tissues of the low back, pelvis and thigh.
An injury to any of these structures can cause pain to radiate – or be “referred” - to any of the other structures. It is important to understand that this type of pain is not due to “pinched nerves”.
This helpful site has details and treatment options. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Get an MRI, don’t leave your GP’s until he/she books you an appointment for one. I went through 18 months of agony just to be told to take pain relief and rest. Long story short I needed an “emergency” operation on two prolapsed discs that were compressing my central nerve.
Once my injury was right in front of their eyes they were brilliant and worked as quick as they could. I’m proud of our NHS but you need to be assertive sometimes.
I hope your pain is a thing of the past soon.

Everything just connects to everything else amigo….I have a double stenosis of the spine and sometimes it causes a pain in the sole of my foot like a knitting needle being pushed into it. I struggle to see why! 😵💫
Hi 1212 - seems there's a lot of this about! I've had a lot of experience with this, and posted some (lengthy!) advice recently to someone having similar issues. To save cluttering up your post feel free to click on my name and find a recent post called 'Does stiffness travel through muscles?' Hopefully there'll be something in there that might help you. Good luck with it 👍
Try micro dose magic mushrooms for pain.

What's the best thing to buy on here?
Hi everyone,
Recently recommended this place by a friend, but I'm not a seasoned smoker at all. I was wondering what's the best 'method' to get high? I've only ever smoked bud, but hear edibles or vapes are much better. I'd like to try vapes, but unsure what i'd need? Also, i see some listed at 1ML, how long would that last in comparison to bud? Is it more cost effective?
Also, anyone yous could recommend to by from would be much appreciated also! Much love :)

Hi bananahit, Excellent advice from Polly. For a Dry Herb Vaporiser, the Xmax V3 pro is also inexpensive, very efficient and easy to clean (invest in a bottle of ISO alcohol and you won't look back).
DrExtracts sell a battery/vape cartridge combo (sometimes) which is excellent to get started if you want to go the THC oil cartridge route (50:50 live resin recommended.)
I've seen reports of 250-300 "inhales" for these 1ml carts. I can tell you that my inhales are around 2-3 seconds long (you don't need to inhale more than this otherwise you run the risk of burning the oil) and they are lasting well over 300 hits (if not 350+ !) and I hit about 4 times only to get a decent "pipe hit (say 0.2g)" equivalent, which means I'm getting 80+ "pipes" from my 1ml cart!!!
That's about half an oz of bud equivalent (!!) BUT this is just me and you may need more/less hits and I don't exclusively vape carts so you may need more hits if using all the time. I'm just making the point that they CAN last a long time.
Tried my own edibles but that is next on my list from LB. Start with a low dosage. Edibles affect people in strange ways, some only take a low dose and trip fantastic and others say they take 100's of mg worth of THC with no effect! So, yeah start with a low dosage to see which person you are!
No method is "better" but thankfully we have choices.
Enjoy :)

Vapes are good but don't get you wrecked, iceolator hash, triple filtered hash, and sweet professionally grown buds are my favs.
I do use vapes too but they're only a filler imo.
Shrooms are good too.😁

Luv the shrooms on here! Speaking of vaping, I am looking for a pen or vape that I can use for both dmt carts and thc carts. I read something about an r coil? Also read that I need one with a ceramic coil for high temps. Any suggestions? Totally new to the vaping thing. I usually smoke my khalifa kush mixed with hash or keif.
Can someone here recommend one and where to buy it? Btw, I appreciate all of my customers who have bought my cubes here on LB.

I've had this in my cart for a while now, shame it used to be 20 and now it's 30.
These seem better than the pens which i use but can be adjusted to suit.

Vape Carts, which contain 70- 98% THC are generally too strong as a place to start imo, most bud is around the 20-25% mark which is still way stronger than in previous times. They are popular because they are so quick and easy and very stealthy if you use them when you are out and about. As for cost effectiveness, well you can pay between $25-$100 on here so it depends on quality (pure live resin is much more expensive than distillate for example). As a noobie you are going to get blasted on a couple of puffs so a 1ml cart will last you for ages but they can be prone to clogging and many report that the quality degrades quite quickly. You would be better off looking for 0.5ml carts to start with.
If you do go for a cart you will need a ‘510 thread’ battery to attach it to which heats the contents. Some vendors offer the straight C-Cell battery for under $10 which is perfect to start. If you find you love carts then you can upgrade to models that allow to dial in your temperature, preheat your liquid, even use two carts at the same time 🤯, and they are not expensive:

Remember you can vape dry weed which is a very good place to start. If you buy a device that allows you to dial in a lower temperature then you you can really experiment with what works for you and your vaping should be a smooth cool experience without any of the ills of combustion (or the coughing that often comes with Carts!). Assuming you don’t want to spend a fortune on your first device, but you don’t need to. For example you can get an Xmax Starry V3 for about £60:
https://magicvaporizers.co.uk/xmax-starry
After a while you will no doubt develop VAS (Vape Acquisition Syndrome) and start upgrading from the thousands available. I have more than a dozen with another 3 on my wish list and believe me that is not considered excessive 😂🤷♂️
You might want to start with a landrace strain that hasn’t been bred for strength. There are a couple of sellers offering Thai gold string at great value which is a lovely high that leaves you functional:
https://littlebiggy.org/item/oQy6oGiLmZwYd4jaGhZJ8YD9/view/p
Edibles deliver a long lasting high that for me is euphoric and quite wonderful but they effect users differently. Like I say it’s a LONG high (4 hours+) and you can’t just get off that train if you overdo it or the vicar pops around in the middle of it🫣.
IMO most edibles in the UK are too strong as they compete on strength. In the US the legal single dose is 10mg and that is a very decent place to start. Fortunately if you buy a sweet that advertises a 40mg strength it’s not difficult to bite off a quarter. Don’t top up because you think they are not working- it takes 45+ minutes to kick in. Personally I think it’s worth trying to find quality edibles that cost a bit more, and avoid the really cheap stuff claiming super strengths. I’ve been buying a range from the US:
https://littlebiggy.org/item/LtrYnbGKlqtbW2CqEg9CPIP5/view/p
But low strengths are also available here too:

If they don’t seem strong enough you can always build up over time👍

Coinbase closed my account.
Hello peoples! :)
I've just been notified that Coinbase is closing my account, I have no clue why and they won't even inform me of the reason. Has this happened to anyone else? I've always been happy with the service/fees etc. so I'm somewhat perplexed to be honest! After speaking to CS on the phone they emailed me this..... What's a good alternative with roughly the same fees and isn't a nightmare to open an account, please?
We regret to inform you that we can no longer support your Coinbase account.
Our primary goal is to make our platform safe and secure for our customers. A variety of factors have been weighed in your case; for security reasons we are unable to elaborate on our internal decision process.
While we can no longer continue our banking relationship, we have not blocked your access to the current balance in your Coinbase account. You may still send your balance offsite to an external address.
Please know that we do not make these decisions lightly and we regret losing you as a customer.

Why the fuck were you using Coinbase for anyways? There’s a tonne of exchanges out there that arn’t the governments bitch and tool for spying, Coinbase is and always has been the anti thesis of crypto currency. Also you should have been buying BTC on there and sending to a wallet like Exodus trust wallet etc and sending to the vendor from there, don’t send directly from the exchange to protect all parties.
Yeah man I feel that, at least now you know, like I say make sure you buy wherever you want but always send to a wallet and send to the seller from that, saves a lot of hassle down the road for everyone.
Afaik Coinbase is working alongside LE to crack down on drug transactions, binance recently suspended a account just because it had $1 million+ in crypto in the account because LE told them to. The future of crypto on brokers isn’t looking good.
Exactly the same thing happened to me and my other half, which we only discovered this morning as we tried putting our usual order in. Frantic scramble to register and get validated by another crypto thingy in time for a postal cut off. I was raging AND fuming. Joined Coinmama and my partner Bittylicious without too much trouble but the tension waiting was unbearable. You can imagine.
Pain in the arse mate, I’ve just gone with Coinjar now but read that Coinbase have the means to check where funds are sent to, but not sure how that’d make a difference! I’ve never done anything shady with my account, pretty strange man.
I use cex.io exchange, registered in the British Virgin Islands, to purchase crypto. They have one of the most secure exchanges, fees are fairly low, and user interface is intuitive. Unfortunately, KYC info required to set up an account. They have a large presence in Europe too. I am in the US, and Coinbase has come under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for such unsavory business practices. Coinbase is not a very secure platform either. I left btc on their exchange for trading last year, and my account was hacked and subsequently drained, even after I froze my account. Lost 5KUSD. I contacted them 4 times about this, but CB never responded. Finally had to join a class action lawsuit against CB where others had the exact same thing happen to them. Their security and customer service is way below the standards set by cex.io. I receive no affiliate money from my advice; motivated only in protecting buyers from a shady exchange.

Tore my calf muscle
Hi doc, was just going to bin outside with rubbish and tore my muscle, i actually heard it tear. (not been sleeping much lately and i walk a lot with doggo)
Next door neighbour is footballer and confirmed you can actually hear the muscle tear.
Got it wrapped, took some ibuprofen, gonna get it raised and have ice on standby.
I'm expecting smoke tomorrow which i'll enjoy cause not going to work, any advice my good man?

Thanks, not a fan of nhs nor modern medicine, the ibuprofen i got today have e171 coloring, a now banned carcinogenic LOL.
Yeah wanna know why everyone nowadays gets cancer, start paying attention to ingredients epsecially the 'nasties' which I was forced to due to allergies i picked up in later life.
I'd go to nhs if my head was hanging off, apart from that ..
Sry for rant, been told by work i don't get paid the first three days i'm off sick, so not only am i down physically, but financially now too.
Ain't the uk just the best country tho?

If you're not into big pharma, you could try Wim Hof breathwork.
1.It doesnt take long to do.
2.Good for inflammation i.e injury/trauma in the body
3. Will get you buzzing.. High on your own supply
Wim is an extraordinary athlete who has many Gunness World records.
He once ran a half marathon in the artic circle in a pair of shorts,
He got frostbite in his toe,
Docs wanted to chop it off,
Wim worked his magic and still has his toe.
I've been doing his breathwork and cold shower method for just over a year now. I'm never turning back...
and I still have all my toes 🤣
also in the last year
No coughs or colds👌
No covid🖖
Almost no migraine 👍
No more hayfever✌️
It's free, everyone should try it.
Enjoy!

I'll look into it, i've known about breathing techniques for a while but never delved in deep.
Must say the ice pack really helps tho, i put that on in the evening a go for a nap.👍

You can do the breathwork before you nap.
30 deep belly breaths in
Just let the breath fall out but not a full exhale
After the last exhale
Hold the breath for as long as possible (I have held for 3 minutes)
When you get the urge to breath
Breath in fully and hold, squeeze your abs gently for 10-15 secs and release
Boom...now you're on the way
3 rounds in total
You'll be flying..Trust me

the moral inferiority of veganism
farm work still has a hand in the slavery business it's a desperate act that "the most evolved of us" have avoided for generations.
why then do vegans look down on those that minimize this abuse by eating bred animals?

Do you not see the hypocrisy in that? you can't claim to 'minimize abuse' whilst at the same time needlessly killing sentient beings.
not to mention the significantly larger percentage of land and crops required to make animal products when compared to making plant based products, you are actually drastically increasing the amount of 'farm work' required to make animal products when you have to feed livestock the majority of your crops
maybe also look into the vast amount of ongoing exploitation and slavery in animal agriculture and meat processing factories.

Interesting topic! Although admittedly, a little puerile. I though we were perhaps past the point of making mass and crass generalisations about large groups of people.
Firstly- arable farming does occasionally require cheap labour- and in certain horrific situations people are exploited and enter into slavery. The same goes for your weed, the clothes people buy, the phone you probably wrote your original post on. Surely a monetary based framework for structuring global society is to blame, and not simply people who don’t want to be complicit in killing and eating dead things when it isn’t necessary?
Secondly, a defence of veganism could be that a corrupt arable farm perpetuates slavery- most do not.
All abbatoirs kill, corrupt or not, and could be the reason why these morally superior vegans justify their sense of superiority- in my experience, most, and include myself here, really couldn’t give a shit about what you eat mate! Have at it!!!! :-)
The environmental impact of a meat heavy diet, and the various links to different types of cancer do speak for themselves.
From a moral viewpoint- i personally require a type of newly developed medication that did a shit load of testing on animals. Loads. My decision not to eat meat was based on that. A load of animals have died to keep me alive- it just seemed reasonable to avoid killing any more if i can.
Good point about the slavery! I hadn’t considered it as much a i ought to. I had heard the argument about field dwelling animals being massacred by combine harvesters anyway, and that deffo made me think….
Do you have data on the number of farms exposed as utilising slave labour? It would be a good starting off point to gauge the ratio you keep asking about.
Also, the quote regarding ‘the most evolved of us’- what are you quoting?

most farm work is large scale desperate labor. the moral answer is clear: be a DIY vegan though it's only a matter of time until the immorality of this is exposed ;)
idk, but its rather obvious why so many vegans behave almost like fascists. veganism in the west is pushed by the same ilk that was pushing global warming before this plandemic...
interesting mental gymnastics there, if you want to talk about forcible suppression of opposition then take a look in the mirror, also you immediately politicize the issue when in reality the vastly growing vegan population has absolutely 0 interest in the politics of 'pushing agendas', literally the entire moral compass of veganism is just about reducing / eliminating suffering
i've never pushed for anything (other than moral consistency, on occasions) if i see misinformation i'll simply attempt to correct it like i did with the op.

its quite obvious that what youre saying is just your personal projection.
besides, Ive done my research and Im not a naive kid as are the majority who have fallen for the vegan agenda.

so you're calling scientists and academics 'naive kids' whilst implying you have all the answers?
there's literally nothing more naive than labelling moral consitency an 'agenda'
also you seem to be very hung up on the term 'vegan', well it doesn't always have to be about vegans, as most intelligent rational humans will tell you, this is actually about the animals, not us.

your way of communication is strange. youre behaving like a propaganda bot. and maybe you havent seen my answer regarding KFC vegan items.
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
link https://littlebiggy.org/link/jW379g
Just going into KFC everyday for deliveries made me veggie, but I often go for vegan options. Even Greggs (UK) has vegan now. Just one KFC store, you gotta wonder where all those chickens come from. Just one (and I go to two that are always stacked with delivery drivers and families getting buckets of steroids). How are so many chickens stored? It doesn't even compute bc it's an endless amount. I'm talking two stores in one city. If someone offers me a meal w/ meat I'll chow it down, I'm not going to be a ponce about it, or push my views on someone else. But when you really look at it, or have a discussion with someone pushing the "I could never give up meat" it just falls flat. It's a choice at that point to carry on regardless. There's actually no need for meat anymore.
I have never entered an KFC or ordered from them. Stopped eating fast food a long time ago due to health reasons. Even went 5 years or so without meat and dairy.
Having lived through that ordeal I mastered the topic of food and health, at least in my case.
Btw, Im all for closing down big industry meat production and I support only small local sustainable production of food, not just meat.

Same when I ate meat never ate that crap. It's astounding how many ppl do tho. I agree man it's the way forward for now.
that's so absolutely true that when discussing this subject with stubborn people who 'could never give up meat' it always falls flat, probably why the original poster never replied! the issue of veganism is not contemporary within the scientific community
they will usually just straight up ignore science so they can push their own agenda, when the FACT is, there's actually no need for meat anymore, nor the suffering and exploitation associated with it.

To play devil's advocate, I do kinda get the "can't" pov. Sometimes I've seen pictures of cute cartoon cows for burger bars offering whatever deal, the idea of what your eating is connected but far removed from reality. You could essentially pull the car over to show your kids some cows and feed then some grass, and on the way back get a burger for the kids and a few pints. It's that Alan Brazil/Fruit Pastilles (youtube) mentality that I think the idea of free range needs seen as doing your part. That's what I say in conversation, at least, to the "can't", that free-range makes sense.
Ok so you've completely disregarded your original post by the looks of it
An estimated 50 billion chickens are slaughtered for food every year – a figure that excludes male chicks and unproductive hens killed in egg production.
that's only chickens but you're welcome to work out your own ratio there bud

Is there such a thing? even if there is it would be stupid since animals dont have consciousness like humans do.
big industry is the only problem in all of this. anyone that is generalizing this issue is not thinking straight

Good point, although consciousness is actually immeasurable as it’s subjective… there are ways of measuring intelligence, but that’s a different thing, and academics struggle to agree on how it can be measured anyway…
That’s one of the philosophical arguments of Veganism- we can’t actually gauge human suffering against animal suffering because we have no way of measuring the suffering the animal endures.
Tough one innit!

I did and I missed it tbh. Not so much for the focus but for awareness feeling when it first kicks in. That said glad I took a break.

Try noopept, it will get you out of the house, elevate your mode and give you the healthy break g.
I just did after near daily use for months and I felt bad for 6 days max. I can't say I missed it a lot and used the time to experiment with other nootropics especially the racetams. I will start the semester all healthy with noopept and then start slipping in the moda when studies start heating up.

you may also have trouble with 3 day a week shipping since orders get refunded if they don't ship quickly and the wall algo presumably favours the fastest shippers.

Refunding anonymous buyers?
An order comes in anonymously, no problem the address is there. Unfortunately the payment is short, like mistyped digits short rather than fluctuation short (which I usually honour) so it's a bit too short. I don't really want to send less though it is an option.
Now I'm pretty sure that if I cancel the order the buyer is going to need to give a btc address but since he's anonymous, he's gonna struggle.
If I let it expire instead of cancelling, is it the same? or will the refund happen automatically?
If this is you and you were logged out, holla!

How come tobacco is allowed on here?
Seems strange to me that tobacco can be sold on here when nothing harmful is allowed. Tobacco kills about 50% of people who are addicted to it. Anyone else have similar thoughts about what is one of the most deadly and addictive drugs available?
Lol one minute your crying about tits getting sold now advocating tobacco lmao man, you just a troll.
Quite an old thread but nice to see another logical mind about. For many people still suffer major denial when it comes to the harm they are doing to themselves ;)
No need to comment every one , on how silly I was trying to separate the harm factors of cannabis and tobacco. Cannabis is super harmful just the same as tobacco if not worse. I must of had brain damage from vaping to much weed. I feel very anxious vaping weed as the death toll and health effects are very similar to tobacco . Again apologies for my sketchy opinions which are not founded in science at all

I agree that tobacco is addictive and will make you dead.
But so will smoking anything.

This was meant to be a real conversation about tobacco smoking. Statistics show 1 in 2 who smoke die from smoking related diseases. I am not talking about other methods of consumption using nicotine. The real dangers from smoking comes from the radioactive phosphates it is grown with
You seem very educated, well done! I don’t know what I was thinking! Cannabis obviously causes cancer just like tobacco. Cannabis doesn’t have any medical benefits, just the same as tobacco. You are completely right;)
Ps do some

Hi, I was going to order your northern lights but i didn't as it stated ships from U.K. not Spain like your Hash. Its weird how no one tried your products yet considering you have been on LB for like a month! You probably need to work on your description a bit more and have like an aggressive intro promo like by one get the same for free for your first 10 buys to get reviews so people trust ordering from you. This is what green honey did and the new vendors in the UK do the same. Just your first 10 buys. Good luck!
Ciao 👋 sono 1 dei 7....., wow ❤️ ottimo prodotto, buonissimo prezzo e velocità (5 giorni in meno di altri venditori Spagna) 9 giorni in 🇮🇹🔝applausi 👏

Free crypto
Hi all. We know times can be hard and nothing beats a nice dank smoke for chasing the blues away but when budgets get tight it can be hard. I spent a long time stock piling genuine free crypto earners that have really come in handy for emergency bags. I don't spam but if anyone is interested in refferal code links or free earning sites,apps ect that are actually real then please do ask as you can't beat free btc lol

RE: is there a cheaper way?
Been using Coinbase directly since Bernie Sanders was wearing shorts.
RE: is there a cheaper way?
Hi guys,
So I’m new to LB and bitcoin so sorry if I sound like an idiot.. Made a purchase for $69 (roughly £57). I completed the whole transaction through CoinCorner meaning I deposited £ money into it, bought the bitcoin and then transferred it to the vendor all through the one app. My issue is that with all the fees I ended up paying about £72 (about £15 In fees it seems). Is there something I’m doing wrong and is there a cheaper method? I’d appreciate any advice. Many thanks

Thanks for getting back to me mate. Isn’t there an issue with coinbase and transferring directly to vendors? Should/Do you need to transfer to your own wallet first? If so, is there a wallet you recommend? Many thanks
Thanks for the reply but I think there is an issue with coinbase banning people for doing transactions directly from them. I’ve seen this mentioned a few times in the threads below.
Coinbase user, never had an issue. Did have to re-submit info recently but no worse than any other banking app.

IP banning repeat offensers
Hi LB.
I’ve been following the absolute shit storm with Sweetdreamz and DankHighz. Didn’t really want to wade into it, however now seeing this guy posting addresses on here has me super worried.
Can LB admins implement IP level bans for insane people like this that have no business on this site? It’s obviously not perfect and you’ll probably have to ban a few IPs before they are gone for good, but there must be some way we can keep destructive users like this out.
Just my two cents.

Substitute bad actors here for terrorists, noobs for "the children" and us as a scared population willing to sacrifice freedom and openness for safety. I respect your concerns but I do know what doesn't work: the tactics of a world I try to shrug off every time I login here.
As for me I'd rather bear the risk myself, I can always use a drop to protect my address if I chose to, that's the only no-trust solution anyway.

That means a lot of IP addresses saving which is a cure worse than the sickness. Minimal records are existential to this place.
even assuming the users ip is static (which it’s probably not) ip blacklist won’t be effective as most here will be using vpn anyway.
yes I think that may be the way to go, at least for anyone selling and taking peoples addresses
Diceman your picture is epic lol i have not smoked a bread bag in years thats what we called them they get you wrote of
lol, these were staple back in the day. use kitkat foil for the full ghetto experience! we called them ‘bottle bags’ or a ‘lung’ round our way. not seen one in the wild for years.
More like you end up with one lung smoking these we use to use a socket as a chillum i miss the oldskool pollen through a lung what a high
From what people have been saying, IP bans just wont work here. However I do think we could investigate some form of vendor vetting/invitation system.
Only solution to the problem you are describing is for sellers to not have buyers addresses. Crypto drone pick up and delivery?

How to Buy Bitcoin without ID
I asked wall of coins, they said the threshold is 2,000 usd.
Very outdated guide, Coinmama does not let you remain unverified, Shapeshift has implemented KYC too. Here's a more up-to-date howto
Thanks Emeralds, people should keep in mind that even these exchanges have limits on unverified transactions. If they don't post them openly (eg wall of coins) then ask them before you buy. In general you will want to make multiple smaller transactions as you test an exchange.
