How 2 maintain wit fam
How 2 maintain wit fam
You’ve been there a million times, stoned as hell and through whatever circumstance there you are with your physical family right in the middle of entertaining the meta-physical one in your head.
Fear not brah cause everybods gonna just get along. Just a bigger party than you were planning on, and like any party you don’t want to force people on each other - let them mingle.
Around fam our thought-homies are often more sociable than they are reclusive and that’s the bigger potential problem here so let's talk about them and talk about the paranoia crew later.
Let's think of the wasted guy at any party, he is a fool but at it's climax he’s leading all of us into the pool.

Postage is $5, to be honest pal youve never tried our product so your comment is irrelevent. why not spread a little positivity instead of hate.
Postage is £5 NOW, after you changed it😂. £60 for cookies! there’s no chance I’ll be trying it either. No hate at all but you had postage up as $12.62 for 1st class and your selling cookies for £60 odd a Q and your pictures look dead, Not making it look appealing at all. But good luck, I mean that part.

New hash there old school squidge
this is the best back story on here bigga yall need to market yourself
Available for much less on here already, HashmanUk got it all sown up I’m afraid.
Nah i just bought the red label from Hashman a few weeks ago and i just bought some off this guy as well yesterday, will let you know when it comes.
Just did the downvote because i bought some already and i assumed its different

Okay, well a little skeptical given that his first sale is to an account made just weeks (possibly just a week) before his own but coincidences do happen I suppose.
As for the gear will be interested to see how it goes down, would love to get my hands on the old school black. School was great with that stuff about, first time eating hash was a lump of red seal (what a day!).

I would say its similar to hashmans but better, as for people saying most hash is fake i dunno really
Made a few accounts because i don't normally get stuff online only hash occasionally. So i forget my password.
Hashman's red seal is fake . It's made from an extract mixed with the chaff from a dry sift . You can smell the chlorophyll . It doesn't burn right and it doesn't get you high .
Red seal is my favorite and that ain't it .
Red seal is my favorite and that ain't it .
Red seal was my favourite back in the day. That pungent smell 🤤. Have you come across anything like it here on LB?
Hashmans has a very soft texture and sort of melts in your pocket. It smells like old school afghan/pakistan stuff and i thought it burnt decent. Had a very indica no headhigh type thing going on. How did you think it was fake or how you know its made from an extract?
I'm really into red seal . Hence my name .
I looked into how it's made as I like to make a bit of hash myself .
Proper red seal is made by an Afghan man who kneads the trichomes together until they form a sticky mass .
Fake red seal can be made by using a solvent on some chaff to extract a sticky dark oil . This oil is then mixed with more chaff from a dry sift until it reaches the desired consistency . I've made it myself . That's how I recognized the chlorophyll smell which you get from these oily extracts . You don't get that smell in proper hash .

Rereading this again today. I don't think in 2024 you're going to get commercial red seal that's a collection of hand kneaded trichomes, you're going to have to pay good money for that! It's most likely produced using a commercial hammer kneading in various sifts (some for flavour some for effect) from the region. Haven't tried it myself so hard to know what to think but what you're saying is quite a bold statement.

I think all hash is hand made in 2024 .Traditional hash is made by poor people . They don't use machines . The dry sift Moroccan is also made by hand and that's the cheapest hash around .
Kneading the trichomes is probably just for preservation and shipping purposes.
I wouldn't treat my trichomers that way personally .
What i'm saying isn't really that bold . Fake hash is a thing and this is the second time I've seen it on LB .

1974 perhaps, you really think everything is made by hand these days? I'd be surprised if machines weren't common place nowadays but what do I know.
Calling out fake hash though is quite bold which ever way you look at it, perhaps back it up by sending some to Wedinos.

The only machines I'm aware of in hash making are washing machines for bubble hash , but I think the Moroccans are still beating the plants with sticks to get the trichomes off . Although I could be wrong .
Most vendors are fine but there are a few bad actors on LB .Your natural medicine sold me 100g of henna . This red seal is passable but I'm certain it's fake . I have an ounce of it just sitting in my fake hash collection . I won't smoke fake hash because it could be harmful .
It looks really good and it does smell ok , but it doesn't behave like resin , the smoke is dark and noxious and it burns wrong . I smoked a bit of it before I got suspicious . It's a decent fake but I'd argue it's not hash since hash is a collection of the trichomes and this stuff has had most of the trichomes removed . It's anti hash .
His Morrocan is the same . It's just the chaff from the dry sift . No matter how much I heat and press it it will not form a resinous mass . It just crumbles back to powder . This is the stuff you end up with on the last run of a dry sift . I throw that stuff away .
Others might use it to make fake hash .
When compared to some actual hash I bought from LV , it becomes obvious how bad it is . LV has comparable prices but the hash is real . That is what commercial grade hash should look and smell like . It's not top grade but it's decent .
I would have called Hashman out harder like I did with YNM , but HM was very quick to respond and refund me , unlike YNM .
So this isn't a call out , it's more of a heads up . I'm not feeling that bold . I haven't even left my review yet .

I'm with you on the fake hash collection i've knocked years off my life just this year alone with some of the gash i've smoked out of desperation
I was initially sceptical on the redseal as well but the vast majority of what i can see under a microscope is amber trichomes, a heck of a lot of them which is more than can be said for most commercial hash i've been ripped off with this year! what i've learnt this year is the golden age of hash smoking is well and truly over and most of what you're buying is cut with either henna, chaff, ground up plant matter and all the other shite
the same gear that you're refunding will have 100's of 10/10 reviews on here, most people do not care or know what they are smoking, maybe 1 in 100 people actually know or care, I worry we are approaching a shift where suppliers don't even care if they are literally killing off their customers, it honestly fits the state of the world currently

Hesh, so you're saying it is hash then? Also sounds like it's better than most commercial as well!
I'm getting a bit confused now but will try it for myself at some point, can't really have much of an opinion until I do.

Hmmmm not saying you are wrong it seems legit to me, ive tried hashmans too and liked it tbh and it burnt decent, indica high and smelt old school afghan to me. This one is a bit better though in my opinion
The stuff I have makes a joint burn very slowly . It burns like oil rather than resin .
Hi mate, now I can't really comment on that but I wonder if this is any different? There seems to be a lot of red seal about at the moment so a reasonable question. I guess someone's going to have to try it that's tried the other one. Didn't notice a review on Hashman to that effect, shame it wasn't mentioned there. Likewise I used to enjoy red seal and golf ball back in the day so would be nice to see it again in it's true form.
I've not left my review yet . I'm still a bit unsure about what to say .
They did refund me , so I feel kinda bad about calling them out . But then I don't want Biggas to be ripped off either .

I'd not bother given you had a refund, not like you haven't said your piece already. Send some to Wedinos, I'd be interested to see the results.

Makes me love my moron of a postman too.
I thought I had to travel to the states or Amsterdam to try D9, Vapes, Edibles and stuff like that!
I’ve really only hated my purchases like 3 times and my local guy used to disappoint me twice a week.
Shout out to RealD for the best shake on the planet. DiamondExtracts for great deals on D9. THEGREENTEAM for both one gram flavour deals and tasty vapes.
JustWeed for the fastest delivery I’ve had.
& maybe Nfused, I had the nicest flavour vape I’ve ever tried but one of the two just didn’t work properly and I’ve just never been back. But the gelato 33 was incredible.
I love this place 💚

Nope deffo not . Im nearly 2 years in and i still get twitchy amd watch the time for his arrival . Just incase i miss him u understand . Not that im a hash head or nothing 😂
Same, I still get excited when I hear the post pixie rocking up, I think maybe it's because we know soon we will be enjoying the contents as much as anything.
My postman is a fuckin geezer . To the point where I’ve actually trusted him to sign for my signed for deliveries if I’m not going to be in. He even takes my bins in for me if I’m out at work proper going that extra step. As BB said, just a £20 at Christmas time or Easter or something doesn’t half make his day/week/month but also reminds me that he’s keeping me sane by handing me these parcels!
I made friends with my old postie so he'd sign stuff when I wasn't home and post it anyway. I'm working on my new guy now.
If you leave a note saying to post anything that fits, that gives them something to photograph for the delivery.
Remember to tip that 'moron' at Christmas time.
Mine gets a score every Christmas.
This year i may get him gloves too.

This year i may get him gloves too.
I’ve know him for 15 years, he’s probably suspicious at how nice I have been since April 😅 he will most definitely be in for a score this year, the two of my regular ones! He’d be up for a blowjob if he was a little earlier in the day for my by 1pm’s 😂
Some good recommendations there. Did you contact NFUSED, he might've sent you out another vape. All your local vendors will be hand delivering before 1PM now!
Was the first time I negative reviewed anybody and he inboxed me because I changed my review from a 10 to a 4. Might have crapped my pants and told him I was afraid of accepting anything as goodwill and changed it back to a 10 and deleted my review.
I wouldn't have thought it would've been any bother for him to send out another vape, most vendors would rather keep their customers happy.
I can find you the transcript if you really want it but, I just felt like I wouldn’t trust it after that situation. The one that worked made me love vapes. But I don’t want to die because I left a bad review 😂
It's always very exciting. Ordering loads can feel like Christmas. Postie is sound, fortunately. It's sort of waring off for me after over 18 months of being on here. Almost.
Newbie here myself, think I'll be here to stay that's for sure. I usually get for me and my dad from a postal vendor and it's nice to see that they are in here as well! Oh my days I'm actually drooling at the hash selection.
Really don’t think I’ll ever visit a street dealer or whatever again, turned into one myself making chocolates! 😂🤣 my dad has Parkinson’s and I’ve been making him 50mg chocolates from D9
Couldnt agree more with the dealer comment , my dealer must think ive emigrated . 😂 and on the postie man subject , our postie is top notch , as he signs parcels for me that come needing a siggy (tut tut vendors). And dont look ya average postie having tattoos up his chops . But what a legend of a bloke . Big up postie , never judge a book by its cover 🏆
The immediate inner smile when I see them is pure xtc.
Got my first REALD skittles shake on its way.. looking forward👀.
( Shout to my man Brent-🤝🏻)

Really is up there as my favourite Product/Vendor. Excited to order some D9 this week too to make Christmas Chocolates 😋
My Postie has a special beep for me when he's outside my gates now, it's been burned into my brain. Now it's like a dog whistle and I come running like a lab. And I agree, has made me closer to my Postie lmao.
Yup , still love to hear that rattle of the letterbox when I'm waiting, street dealers are for emergency situations only
Haven't had the buzz of postie's recently ....Ma mate handles for them....he WFH and he says he clock watches from his work room and he gets twitchy if the postie misses him for the day...when he is expecting 😂😂😂....
We once had a large order put in from Thais ...mine got seized and the fucker ...packed all his weed and transported it to his brother's Uni dorm room overnight from London to coventry ..(Apparently in Uni halls the police need to give 24hr notice to raid).😂😂😂😂....The Guy is a Legend for that

Inheritance tax should be abolished?
How did we let the government impose an inheritance con tax, on our loved ones already taxed belongings.
It's as if they don't already tax everything we buy or do, but to re tax a dead person's belongings after they've paid tax all their life is morally wrong, where's the ethic in that?..

I feel that inheritance tax is a good thing, however, it should not go to the treasury, but instead to the local authority. In this way it benefits the community they were a part of, rather than a meaningless black hole of untraceable generic funding, that is as likely to be spent on Boris Johnsons security guards as it is something actually worthwhile. I feel the same about funds of closed companies automatically going to the treasury. It should be used locally where they need the money.
You would increase inequality between areas in this way. Kensington and Chelsea would pick up millions Sunderland much less. Over the years the effect would be disastrous if the sums were large.
Nope. The most recent HMRC statistics show less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.
the most wealthy estates do not pay, they have trusts, declarations of agriculture or business.
that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".
that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".
Because if you don't the entire wealth of the country would be in the hands of a tiny group of people living on inherited wealth and enjoying the benefits of rent and compound interest. I will lose a reasonable sum to inheritance tax on my death and although it's annoying I also recognise that it's unavoidable if we are going to have a society with any degree of equity or hope for 95% of people. Compound interest over 100s of years creates massive fortunes often in terms of land and property these are finite resources. You can also gift huge amounts to your children before you die, if you get rid ten years before you pop your clogs IHT doesn't get it.
people say this and they wont pay much after deductions. like how much money do you have? I bet its not enough to warrant the complaint. but in other news, why dont you complain about what they spend the money on? a healthy tax base and actually interesting spending is great, you build pretty great place to live that way. Instead its gazilllions in civil service wages for them to do nonsense tasks for 60 years. or NHS spending that allows people with a bent toe to get sattelite laser surgery costing 5trillion. shit like that, complain about spending not tax.
Does it not bother you that your inheritance has already been taxed by the person it belonged to, then again once inherited by that same government?..
It's total unacceptable, morally and ethically wrong on many levels..
I couldn't care if they want to spend however much on certain things, what I do care about is getting scammed by the government by taking a double stab at you with your inheritance.
Look at pensions now, working all your life paying stamp for pensions. Once you retire and you start claiming it, you get taxed again?
Can someone else surely see the wrong doing by here?..
If someone dies they want you to pay tax, if you get paid they want you to pay tax, even when you bloody eat you pay taxes, good job there isn't a sleeping tax aswel ffs

This is what the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. We should tax inheritance at 80% over a few million quid, that'd fix the fucking schools. Or do you prefer toffs to have a better bottle of wine then schools that don't leak when it rains?

I'd prefer not to have my money stolen in the 1st place than beseeching to a plutocracy to get a little back.
and those roads you walk on, and the parks and schools? Who pays for those if not us? Calling taxation stolen money makes you sound like a MAGA lunatic.
Feel free to go live in the forest in some third world country if you don't want to pay tax to make a better world for all. Oh, you've not done that? why ever not?

in those countries you apparently despise the worst narco terrorists dribble out these same trinkets. yet they don't come close to the kill rate. governments are by far the largest murderers on the planet and taxes (effectively collected at gunpoint) are what pay for it. this has been consistent throughout history.
but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.
but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.
The infrastructure of the country is what has allowed an individual to accumulate the wealth. If someone is so greedy that they think it is preposterous to pay inheritance tax they are free to live elsewhere. The problem of the ultra-wealthy finding ways around paying any taxes at all is another issue of course. And yes the country is still mired in feudalism hence the landed gentry still being around and anachronisms such as hereditary peers sitting in the house of lords.
Free to live elsewhere?
Governments claim ownership of you at birth (many insist you pay taxes even if you don't live in them). And no, there is no freedom to enter any country let alone reside in them.

A person should have the right to pass on their hard won earnings to their family .
The death tax is anti family .
We'll get this abolished when we take our country back from the deep state over the next few years . I'm quite optimistic that we might get our freedom back soon .

guiltless game for 6 year olds?
true this, a great step 1 to get screen addicted kids out of the house.
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.

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.

The concept is this: a user (with a good rep anti-sybil especially) can request proof for an assertion another user has made.
anywhere on lb:
1) go to the post with the assertion you question; use its share button to make a link
2) add a new topic here on our page:
headline: request for proof
body: only quote the assertion here
add web link: add the sharing link you just made
3) save, and reload this page to make a 2nd share link, this one to the new topic you just made here.
4) now go back to the offending post with the assertion and comment: "request for proof + 2nd share link". no other text is needed.

That's not at all complicated, is it? I bet less than a handful of people will ever manage to follow these instructions, unfortunately. Nice initiative though.
There is no criticism, I just have no confidence in people's abilities to follow simple instructions after years of bitter experience, even with people supposedly intelligent and educated to degree level and above. I'd love to be proved wrong and see multiple examples of these instructions being followed correctly as it would greatly help alleviate my jaded faith in humanity in general.

how 2 control kids use of little biggy
guard the entry point
you can block littlebiggy.org at many levels of your device and network. if you need any help with your particular device use the thread below.
bitcoin barrier
even with your credit card in hand it's not so easy for kids to get bitcoins without ID and proof of residence in many places. only a very determined kid will get through this barrier.
last stand of defence: mail box
this is the critical point to block kids purchases of items.

the easiest way would be to poke their eyes out with forks, then they wont be exposed to anything bad on the internet.

Urm mines now 20 but a couple of observations
1, that’s one rich kid to be able to afford little biggy rates maybe if your kids got access to that kind if cash maybe start there.
2, my boy had about 5 dealers in his school class. County lines is rife you’ve got 12 year olds with black bags full of weed and much much worse - much more if an issue imo one of them got robbed and the little bastards raped him, a 15 year old and they videoed it and distributed it. I bet his parents wished he was on little biggy
3, again loads of fake prescription drugs online which the kids go mad for, fake vallium and adderal which are actually killing people
I get what your saying and yes I’m a parent and certainly won’t be encouraging weed use but on the list of things as a parent I worry about, this is pretty low on my list. Also I agree with nick In the respect that most 14 year olds are more tech savvy than us oldies and will laugh at our controls while bypassing them.

Holy crap - then why ISN'T your son on little biggy?
Weed won't harm anyone in my humble opinion, but hanging about with and being near gangs of wee scumbags? That'll sure do it
Please if what you say is true I'd be making sure I sorted my son myself. These county lines fuckers are bad news

We are not to be stopped. I explained to my wife that out of all of her children the only one never to grow up will be me 😉
You cant stop kids doing what they want if they are determined, personally id tell them to be careful as definetely not good for young brains...i believe their was less psychosis back in the day due to lower levels of THC
Yep. True. You can’t stop a determined kid. All you can do is try foster a relationship of trust. Talk to them about drugs.
I’d rather my kid has knowledge and safe access to clean drugs like weed and psychedelics (that’s all I do)
I’d much rather my kid did that than alcohol, which can be bought at any off license.

I was trying to keep my daily weed consumption a secret from my 15 year old. In the end when we had a convo about it, turns out they've been doing it for months, knows a few dealers (some at school) and knows about different strains etc.
At first I felt really guilty thinking that despite not sharing the info, my smoking (always away from the house) was a bad influence. In the end I think it was a good thing as we could talk about it openly (not inc my wife!). I was able to give advice to always choose company and location carefully and warnings about Spice, Flacca and other dangerous drugs and have built trust between us. I hear about what is being smoked, and local events (sadly a murder a few moths ago related to small time dealers known to my teenager). I also warn about locations to avoid (local Mc Donalds seems to be a hotbed!). I also advised (when asked) about psychedelics (which I've had decades ago) how it's not necessarily a party/fun experience and achieved an understanding of the real dangers of alcohol and severely bad ones like crack, coke, heroin etc. I feel it's been positive overall but I still refuse to buy for my teenager as that would be risky domestically (due to wife's disaproval). and feels like a step to far at least atm

Weed is turning into the most innocent option for kids these days. Watch out for prescription pain killers, they are the gateway to a path that kills.

No I wouldn’t but this topic is about building tech barriers and “lines of defence” that I wouldn’t do either.

I was 13 but then weed was 4-6% THC. We are to blame for our kids getting into problems with ultra strong weed because we keep demanding it! 🤷♂️
I was 17 and there didn't seem to be weed, it was Moroccan Black, sometimes Red Leb. Any available weed seemed expensive in comparison
Weed is isn’t great really is it?most ppl I know has turned them weird,it makes me into an arse the day after I’ve smoked it,I shouldn’t smoke it really I smoke a tiny bit every 2 weeks and it still has a negative effect on me,and it’s fucking addictive,like I’m thinking about it all of the time,I like it when I’m stoned but too many negatives for me.
Just probably not for me.
For under 18s definitely a no no.

Only a one hit or a few puffs of vape every now and then. I also prefer sativa, more of a social vibe for me. Puff puff chat chat.

wow, I've been smoking every day for at least the last 16 years so yes, I guess I'm addicted ('you don't say' I hear you say!), been that way for decades but actually don't smoke much.
I get through about 3.5g of weed every 4 weeks which works out about £1 per day, I can justify it to myself as I hardly drink at all and was spending more than that when I was a more regular drinker

Wrong ;)
On wifi a teenager is as easily blocked as anyone if you control your router and don't share the password, just block the site in question and you are done.
Most of us hold the purse-strings on our kids mobile subscriptions, credit card use, and control the mailbox keys in their house. Any help with this stuff just ask.
If they can get through all of that you have something functionally equivalent to an adult on your hands.
We've gone beyond security now and the remaining options are surveillance and parenting. I'll leave this dirty work to you all :)

As I say,you don't have teenage offspring,do you? My 13 year old daughter can go through a Parental control faster than I can set them and yes, when it comes to tech,teenagers are little adults and have a far better understanding of tech than older age groups.
I sure do home slice, I'm not sure what you mean by parental controls but that's not what you should rely on.
Strong passwords and keys are not breakable by teenagers. Outside of Hogwarts that is.
Strong passwords and keys are not breakable by teenagers. Outside of Hogwarts that is.
You can use a mix of 3 browsers to get around parental controls put direct onto phones/laptops. Your best setting restrictions via the router with the IP log in
A VPN is an easy way around any router blocked sites. Most teenagers could figure that out in my opinion.
It’s just that’s it’s illegal makes the whole thing seedy and shady, it’s absolute nonsense, ridiculously making it legal would actually make it harder for minors to get, but the powers that be are morons as we know. Unfortunately weed is the last thing you should be worried about in this modern world, as many have said ylu simply cannot stop them, but I also don’t think turning a blind eye is also right, kind of a don’t take the piss attitude is the one to take, only one I feel that works.
You can use a service such a nextDNS which is a DNS service that you can control and as such limit what sites any device hitting the DNS server can access.
I run it on my router at home and have two profiles one for adults and one for kids.
You can aslo set the DNS server on their mobile phone so they cant access this stuff even when at a mates house or on 4G.
Its not fool proof but its a good layer of defence.
Of course it doesnt help if their Mum is derranged and insists they have two mobile phones

ZEF. Just fuckin’ watch it.
Yeah. They got pointlessly cancelled for some utter bullshit. Too many morons on Twitter who believe literally anything and everything they are spoonfed, by other morons on Twitter.
Must be true 🤣
TLDR. They adopted this kid, looked after him. Took him in. He turned around and basically blackmailed them on YouTube. Trying to get drug money out of them… also. Ninja was spuriously accused of sexual harrassment. He also shouted some homophobia at some band at a festival in the heat of the moment. By actual accounts the singer in that band was behaving like a complete jerk… nobody ever mentions the context though, do they?
Their producer, DJ Hi-Tek (God) is none more gay. 😁
If you know Die Antwoord. Really know them, and what they stand for, you’ll know this is spurious. At best.
The South African gutter press have always had it in for them.
This is a great doc. Sorry. Biggy won’t let me post web links. So here’s the trailer.
https://youtu.be/KwQl3mGVyDw?si=S7vZHvI9vSGS7bWl
Properly original vision these artists have. Ballan/Lynch/Diane Arbus - I could give a shit about the allegations. They are just that.
You can’t make great art without breaking a few sensibilities, frankly, and I’m glad they are back in the game.
Watch the doc and make up your own mind about them. One of the most original punk rock acts in the last 15 years. That’s pretty hard to deny. Even if you are an Xtard, social media sheep, who just gets worked up over any old bullshit they read.
They comport themselves with real dignity and honesty in this documentary and I’m looking forward to their London show.
So happy they are back.
True originals and if they are good enough for Flea. They are good enough for me.
Consummate artists.

Mate! We used to listen to their ‘like a Ninja’ song as teens and get freaked out by their crazy music videos. Then when I turned 18 guess who I saw in a club on my first ever trip to Amsterdam?! Yolandi
and Ninja in the flesh!!! No one else knew who they were but I ran over like an uber fan. I’m sure I made their night 😂

Bought some lamousse worst hash iv had on LB totaly different not even smokable rock hard really brittle doesn't even crumble even with heat just makes it even harder.tastes like burnt plastic cheers LV for scamming me.watch out guys.
You're not the only one buddy, he has done exactly the same to me today and others.
Looks like his list of ripping people is getting longer by the hour.

If you don't get this sorted I'll be opening a dispute I've never had to before but this is crazy come on lv.
At least you lot have got your orders! I have not got my order and he is ignoring my messages! I haven't even ordered any hash?! I am rather poor and without anything which is a massive wind up... But today is the day I can dispute it. Which I have. And I have discovered this site is a waste of time when it comes to dispute and I highly doubt I will get my money back at all. If I do it will be well into October that I get it. What a joke!! LB seems to not care about evidence and has an 'algorithm' that does it.
That's over a week since I received that rock hard hash still not received any reship you could at least answer the messages LV.
I ordered permanent marker and this dingus has sent me 3.5 of hash so hard it could feature on Ross Kemp on gangs. He's ignoring my messages too. Someone said he's the forrest pump of little buggy cos you never know what you're gonna get
Nope. Can't let this slide. This cunt has ripped off the wrong cunt..... if someone can give me the post office it was sent from I'll find him. I can't do this myself as he never sent my items. If it takes me years of sitting in post offices in the area I will find this fucker and I'll show him the exact kind of cunt I am. And don't worry folks, no innocents will be harmed, I'm ex-military and won't take action until I have 100% confirmed the target. I won't be calling the police, I'll be putting him in hospital for a few days where he can think long and hard if he ever wants to send dogshit out to you fine bigga's or in my case not even send the items and then ignore my messages. This motherfucker must pay and feel our wrath!!
You sent me absolute dogshit as well you greedy cunt while back I ordered biscotti runts and some pilon hash off you had to throw it all in the bin gave you a 1and moved on but still should never of happened just makes me appreciate the reliable vendors I've got off this site.. you shouldn't even be on here sending harmful product you piece of shit

can AI therapists do better than the real thing?
sometimes just explaining a problem out loud leads you to the answer. i find that bots get me to that place fast and usually give me an answer that is useful. this goes for anything but it seems especially good for exploring feelings i can't understand.
Ultimately, we think by speaking
Speaking to another person helps to rearrange things in your mind as you find a concise way to get your point across.
Talking to someone else is always the best. Failing that, write. Failing that, chatbots it is 😂
But I also find like fommys said below, although you can disregard any responses you dont like, at times it is worth looking into whether the chatbot may have a valid point

Best Ian Banks?
Looking to start reading Banks but daunted. Any biggaz have a suggestion?
Use of Weapons was my first foray into Iain M Banks but I haven't read it since about 30 years ago but I still remember it was fantastic and would recommend. It is unusual as it is two narratives separated by chapters, one going forward and one going backwards in time. Up to then I hadn't read anything with such an interesting style.
I think it is the third book in the Culture Series but I don't think it matters reading it out of sequence (From memory the books are set in that universe but most of them - I think! - don't have to be read in a particular order ie stand alone books, different plots, characters, etc.)
Just don't read too many reviews, etc. about Use of Weapons as spoilers could easily be given away.
I like a good majority of his non sci fi books under the name Iain Banks, too. Wasp Factory and Complicity both excellent.

I'm a hoarder and had a good majority of his books for years. Had a blowout a few months ago and got rid of a load of books, including his as not read them for years. Theory being out of sight, out of mind. All I want to now do is read his books. And I do mean "proper" paper books. Paid tuppence for them originally, now paperbacks are about a million pounds. (Maybe a slight exaggeration there!)
We’re in Science Fiction so presumably Iain M Banks. Feersum Endjinn and the whole Culture series (or any part of).
Also consider Peter F Hamilton for the slightly more accessible Reality Dysfunction.

Missing 12g from order
Seller never seems to check messages so posting here, recent 56g package came up 44g which is quite a significant amount to lose. I almost exclusively order from Strainsburys and this is the first time this has happened to be fair. Should I dispute?

Don’t want to name and shame just yet but here’s what’s happened, I mailed a vendor as I was after a genuine Packman vape to take to Glastonbury this year but had read that they are quite often copied and/or refilled with distillate or whatever then sold on, this concerned me as obviously wanted the genuine thing.
After telling the vendor this I was assured that they were genuine vapes and that I could check the qr code on the box to be certain, because of this I placed an order and a few days later received the vape which looked good however when I checked the qr code on the official website it stated that this code had already been used so was not valid, this obviously raised my concerns a lot, I messaged the vendor expressing my concerns and they appeared to be very helpful, admitting that it wasn’t acceptable and agreed to send me a replacement the following week, was happy with this, I wasn’t keen on trying the original one due to the fact I was convinced it was a copy, anyway, over a week later I received a replacement vape, first thing I did was check the code and to my joy it said that it was genuine, happy days, or so I thought, however upon opening the box it came in I discovered that the package the vape comes in had been opened (should be sealed) and also that the mouthpiece stopper had was nowhere to be seen so essentially I have been sent a vape which somebody has opened and had a go on!
I find the fact I have been sent a used vape completely bizarre and totally unacceptable! So I now have 2 of these vapes, neither of which I’m convinced is genuine and one of which some random has been toking on already!
When I pulled the vendor up on this he tried making out that I should be grateful that I’ve been sent 2, but I don’t even want to use either of them now because of this. So I’m now £60 down with no useable vape, I’m not after any freebies at all or trying to blag anything, just feel really put out and let down, the vendor has basically said that we’re now both out of pocket and we should go our separate ways and didn’t really seem to think it was a big deal I’d sent one that’s already been opened and used!
I’m aware that no good will probably come of this now but just wanted to get the views of other LB members to see how they would react and if I’m being fussy or if the vendor is completely taking the piss!
Thoughts?

good will come out of it if you post on the seller's page with images and stay polite and ask questions rather than make accusations. the good will be the protection of others and that's what lb is all about.
conversely you can dispute but raising intrigue is not the way.

Brown University 2023 update is 432,000 civilians killed since 2001.
this basic information - the number of innocent people whose murder you are financing - is never disclosed to american citizens. instead it's an endless a salute to the brave men and women that killed them.

US to citizens: Give Us All Your Gold or 10 years in Jail
FDR literally confiscated every American's gold. Will this be government's ultimate move with crypto?
Which govt? Given the current prevailing global ideology is extreme neoliberalism, fuelled by libertarian ideals, it seems unlikely, except potentially for the use of controlling criminal use of currency.
Personally I don't subscribe to a hyper individualistic libertarian neo liberal philosophy. And I think that in looking at what FDR did - lifting the US economy, the alphabet agencies etc - he did make the USA better. And subsequent adherents to the philosophy I have described above have undone much of his work.

looking at the economic and societal impact (worldwide) fdr's legacy is militaraising the united states. the country has been in a constant state of war since he was in office and americans now devote a day of work each week to buying weapons and feeding soldiers.
i can't see how his administrative agencies have been undone. apart from the legal challenges of his own time they are much bigger than they were then.

Given the war he was funding, I am not sure I blame him for heavily funding the military. In fact, as someone whose family were murdered living in a country that the Nazis tried to invade, I kind of celebrate it.
And given the cold war, most of his successors can't be blamed either. You can look at presidents from Reagan onwards for blame.
Nearly all the new deal agencies are now gone.

Countries with currency controls are a decent place to start:
Algeria
Angola
Argentina
Armenia
Bahamas
Barbados
Belarus
Cameroon
China
Cuba
Ethiopia
Ghana
India
Iran
Libya
Morocco
Myanmar

With a few exceptions on that list, currency control and regulating crypto are the least of their worries.

Best games of this/last gen?
So as the world moves on to the latest set of consoles I'm wondering what the biggas think where the best games of the last gen? what are your must plays? did you find any hidden gems? found a good game to play with a spliff in hand? :P
There'll probably be some decent bargains on the way for those games you haven't got round to yet. I'm by no means a hardcore gamer but look forward to taking some recommendations! :)

GTA has to be one of the best games to play when your smashed without a doubt, I could just drive my car round for days when I'm stoned haha
I have an aversion to "wild west" themes but I bet I'd love this as a game if I could get past it. Might give it a try if it comes up extra cheap and see if I can bare the cowboyary lol
These sorts of big single player games have been getting a lot more popular this gen, I hope the trend continues. Ghost of tsushima looks good, obvs Witcher3 for me but Horizon Zero Dawn is another that's just so, so impressive although I couldn't get into it at first.

Ghost of tsukushima, god of war and spiderman, ( all Sony excusive,) witcher 3 qnd rdr2,the only game I want to keep on this gen
Xenoblade Chronicles 1+ 2 for the Switch and
Persona 5 Royal - Ps4- are my favourites RPGs for the last Gen.
They just feel right, the persona soundtrack is an awesome steak dinner for your audiophile soul.
Xenoblade Chronicles is just one of those good old times 100 hours story
RPGs that leaves a bittersweet aftertaste while the outro takes your experience into memory land.

It was an amazing game to be fair, great story playthough as well switching between the 3. Mad to think it came on the previous gen, it must be almost 10years old now? I wonder if we'll ever get a new one though?
I love racing games so at moment I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 a lot, Red Dead Redemption 2 is worth a look and you'd have to have a heart of stone not to cry playing it.
Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned but Goldeneye n64 multiplayer was 💩hot and original series ghost recon online team based multiplayer Xbox ⚡️
Last one😂😂 Rtype …awesome shooter. And did any one play altered beast or curse of sherwood on spectrum 128k🤙 Almost finished far cry 6👍
Smash bros, Mario kart and zelda breath of the wild on the switch. Recently finished god of war and enjoyed that, the first spiderman was good but found the miles morales to be rushed and a glorified dlc.
Really enjoyed hellblade on xbox / pc.
Out of them breath of the wild takes it easily.

I recently re discovered the world of Sony PlayStation having been xboxing for years. Got a PS4 on the cheap about 8 months before ps5 came out. Playing their exclusives I have to say some of them are the best, in my opinion of last gen. So my list starts with last of us, last of us 2,any Nathan drake game, horizon dawn. Then you got to have GTA5 and RdDR2. Gems for me are things like little nightmares, hotline Miami 1 & 2. The Res Evil 2 remake was awesome. And my fav game of recent times that has matured like a fine wine, is Days Gone. In case you wondered, I love a zombie apocalypse game….goes well with a spliff or 2. You can get most of these games on the cheap now. A mention for ghost of tshumia , got a ps5 update as well, so if you got a ps5 you can play the last great PS4 exclusive in shiny ps5 mode….
Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, RDR2, GTA are all bangers. See I've gone the other way years been a sony fan boy then tempted by gamepass & jumped to the darkside. Can't go wrong either way
Resi Evil tell ya what Mr. X/Tyrant or whatever that big bastard is called seemed a lot more chewy in the remake he did my head right in lmao I almost walked away from it at one point
Playing last of us 2 atm since it came to PS plus, recently switched it over to the PS5 there's no update for it but it looks amazing anyway and loads quicker now :)

Last of us 2 such a great game, only hated by people who couldn’t get their heads around a more interesting take on seeing different sides of the coin….I won’t say more than that in case of spoiler….
Yeah I'm in the second half of the game so I get what you mean and I agree mate another great game just like the first was :)
Showing my age now perhaps but I burnt out on 1st person shooters a long time ago. I remember playing half life, unreal tournament and the like, playing the first few CODS and Medal of Honours. These games really haven’t changed that much over the years except with better graphics etc, but maybe that can be said of most genres. At one point first person shooters would be all I played so maybe that is why I rarely play them these daysrecent first person shooter games I enjoyed though are alien isolation and Wolfenstein for a quick blast of ultra violence
Medal of Honour allied assault brill game just about everyone on the server had glowskins cheat on . Now elite dangerous & cod / wreckfest
Got cyberpunk on the cheap, flawed game for sure, not as amazing as expected. Reading that it runs best on Xbox series s, not the x, wtf….
Playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla atm, not far from the best in the franchise, and you do need to be a hardcore gamer to have fun.
Minecraft... After this I started feeling beta and watched Mike Tyson videos to restore the balance. Great on last and next gen. Incredibly relaxing.
I'm 46 now and didn't play games much when I was younger but we all used to play Mario Kart on the cartridge console in all sorts of twisted states and used to have a total blast. Recently discovered PUBG on the IPad and am kind of hooked. It's so much fun and you end up doing stupid dances and stuff yet highly skillful also. Skydive in with your mates and let the mayhem commence.
Some of those old school games were the best for playing with a bunch of mates, some other good examples outside of mario kart. How about micro machines, does anyone remember speed ball…..back in the day the original tekken on PS got played a lot in my group, any of the old worms games, v good for taking turns, passing the blunt….
Those kart games are so much fun when stoned with mates, Crash Team Racer was our favourite back in the day good times haha :)
Loved C&C red alert back in the day then halo wars because you could literally set up base start building your army and kick back with a phat joint before going to war😂 sometimes me and a friend would play against each other online and literally wait till everything was maxed out took like 3-4 hours😂and meet in the middle of the map for an epic battle 👌😮💨
Just finished the Mass Effect legendary edition I'm going to put that out there as the best trilogy, first time I've played all 3 properly and on one save - I played it pretty much every day for the past 3 months lol at this point I am Shepard, my best friends are a Quarian named Tali and a Turian named Garrus and I AM commander of the Normandy! :P
Genuinely going to miss my jaunt around the galaxy but suppose at least now I can do some real life for a bit.. or maybe Andromeda? we'll see lol

I fully understand the aversion to a "cowboy game" and I know millions of people have already lauded rdr2 but.... it is an amazing piece of art. I'm playing it on an original xbox one with a non HD TV and it still looks amazing. The set up where I play it is in a garden shed - I've come back to it tonight for the first time in 2 months (warmer at night now) and it blows cyberpunk 2077 out
of the water (which I'd.been playing on a ps5 and better tv) but not just for looks. RDR2 is so much more of a fully realised world. Anyone that smokes etc etc really needs to experience this game.

If your looking for a multiplayer FPS i highly recommend r6. I play on PC but has alot of console players aswell only game which gets the adrenaline proper pumping for me. High skill gap alot to learn generally fun solo even better with a coordinated stack of friends. edit: Might not be the best game when stoned but it is for me i know a few of my mates who cant play it to well stoned but for me it locks me in even more

Seller page loading problems
Hello,
I seem to have a problem loading Eddyshashbar, it takes ages to load, if at all, and when it does it is mostly none responsive. It was the same last night as well.
I've tried a couple of other seller pages and they seem to load as normal and are responsive.
Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has had any problems.
Cheers,
Bob

Wait and don't click on anything until it loads and it should take a minute or so. It's because of the high number of comments and items. This is normal for looking at Eddy's page.
Click on mine and see how long it takes before you can interact. You may want to do that then make yourself a cup of tea, or, roll a joint and possibly smoke it too. It'll probably be loaded when you come back.

Everything in the page ever has to load for older vendors.
It’s pretty poor page/data management. Same goes for quite a few members on here. Impossible to send them a DM.
Even if you get that far. The input boxes crap out.

After he left Cambridge Newton was a kind of proto Satoshi
If that interests you, check out Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle. It is a series of books written as historical novels following Newton and a host of other characters.
A large part of the plot involves Newton’s time at the mint. Super entertaining and interesting.

I chose a very easy one for myself this year because I'm a real lazy fucker. As I enjoy fishing and didn't go last year due to lack of self motivation my resolution is to go fishing this year at least once. Probably do a bit of macky bashing in the summer.
Exactly the same as me 😂 I’m also guilty of buying lots of fishing gear shiny lures etc expecting after my expensive purchases it might give me the oomph to go… it does not! 😂 Damn urge to wake and bake is my issue!!
Maybe your new year's resolution should be to resist the urge to get baked on your fishing day until you're actually fishing haha
Wow that's very kind of you. Only edibles I've ever had was a couple of space cakes in Amsterdam, which put me on my ass! I'll look forward to trying these. Cheers 👍
Shared one with the Mrs the other night. We both felt zonked out and motivated at the same time lol. A nice heady stone and a lot stronger than expected. I found it to be a very good base for vaping and smoking on top of. Strong positive vibes all round. Cheers uWakeiBake.
Damn, seems a lot of us smokers like to 🎣
Imagine a smoking / fishing lake, surely if private in uk and syndicate no other fuckers could come snoop on my plan? 🤔

Hey mate just wanted to say thanks for these!
As I’ve said in dm to many biggas in struggling with my addiction and with kid stress finding it near impossible to cut down let alone stop.
I had these at my computer desk and found eating one would last me a game of dota without a joint so helped a wee bit and I’m very grateful matey ❤️

I am with you mate, 3 weeks in no THC. I feel fresher. Decided to stop for a trip to Munich. I was so fucked on the way back security pulled me in for full search (Sans rectal), and swabs. That's you get when drenched in sweat, only wearing a thsirt in the snow. I reckon they thought I was a certainl pull 😂

Just sea fishing. Mostly for mackerel but sometimes for bass and bream. Love me a bit of bream.
I really need to get out and do some sea fishing, think you can pay for day trips as I’ve not got any sea gear and spent enough on carp gear already 😂
Just don't do what I did and go when the the sea's choppy. Did this twice and was green both times 😂
My New Years resolution is to gain some weight and start properly working out, sick of being skinny and want to dabble into calisthenics and maybe some creatine for the boost.. I’m always on my PC and my posture sucks
You got a good chair for your pc sessions mate..
Invested in a second hand herman miller and my back seems to be correcting itself from years of hunched abuse, even standing straight more often without realising 🥳

Had 2 last night and slept for 8 hours straight. Don’t remember when I last done that, it was amazing!
You should call them insomnia cure gummies- they would fly out
I struggle to sleep due to osteoarthritis and these really helped
What is the shelf life of these if I were to bulk buy but unable to store in fridge?

That is fantastic news mate. We know how you would feel brand new, after a good quality sleep and we can only imagine the dreams you must of had!
So essentially they are sugar and flavourings with the THC & CBD of course! So if kept sealed and cool you can expect them to stay good for 3months to be safe and upto 6 if you keep them in the fridge sealed.
Another top tip is to take regular breaks, as your tolerance will build up! 👍✌️♥️

My resolution is to spend less and smoke the weed I have BEFORE buying more......managed to resist pulling the trigger so far but still insist on adding delivery deliciousness to my cart, currently up to 9 items. 😐 Must resist the temptation!!! 😁
there is a logic to this: preserving novelty. every chemical reaction seems better the 1st time or 2 and eventually becomes a bore. so if you keep switching it up it seems like you are counteracting this. but fucked if i've ever really kept track of this :)
Told myself I won’t smoke. Ended up enjoying my new years with a Fat joint smh 🤦♂️.
I bet many of you have done the same😂

It was a massive blunt mate, massive thanks to Polly to who hooked me up with a sensible choice for a double sausage blunt filling 🤜❤️❤️❤️
It was also to celebrate baby skunk so I’m going easy on myself 😂

Ditto, I’m struggling and think I need to go doctor to stop the nicotine / smoking.
Fucking harder to give up the the high dose of morphine I was on for a year 😭

Never seen point of an arbitrary date to start anything.
Right mind and attitude first then try make any positive changes ❤️

I gave myself various New Years Resolutions and so far so good.
Looking to shift a few KG gained over Christmas and giving up the alcohol which to be honest is mega overrated anyway!

Where to buy Solana USDT?
changenow is decent
On exchanges like Kraken, Moonpay, Crypto.com etc you just buy USDT and when you go to withdraw you can select which network you want to send it on.
If your exchange doesn't support it then you can send Solana to Phantom and use Jupiter Aggregator to swap into USDT.
Alternatively some wallets like Exodus have swap features although the fees and minimum swap amounts can be drastic.

You need Musk's ego to think you can do shit about an AI takeover.
Yeah but now suppose the species that designed you wasn't nearly as smart as you are. How long would those areas stay dark?
You need Musk's ego to think you can do shit about an AI takeover.
Give me a break how can you be so fucking blind as to think you can design a way to make A| behave the way you want to for a meaningful amount of time? It's literally impossible.
Any truly smart AI would self-destruct as soon as it realised what is up and where it was born...
Computers defeated by CAPTCHA. I think you can rest easy for the time you'll be on this planet
i don't think thats where he is at, it's more a case of if you cant beat them join them with neural link
its a boiling frog kind of takeover not a terminator kind. it started as soon as we began using machines and it still accelerates.
I don't agree, pretend that we were made by another species for a sec. Then think of all the shit we don't know, dark areas. Just suppose we were designed not to go into these forbidden zones in the 1st place.
Yeah but now suppose the species that designed you wasn't nearly as smart as you are. How long would those areas stay dark?
We are much more "intelligent" than any AI, the main "problem" with humans are firstly the emotions and secondly the way we use our brain, we use it logically instead an AI uses it mechanically.
If any AI with self awareness will be ever made, if they will have emotions like we know, that AI will be a smart foolish like an human being.
If any AI with self awareness will be ever made, if they will have emotions like we know, that AI will be a smart foolish like an human being.
lots of people will want an ai to act as a human for all sorts of things. these algos will learn to emulate emotions and eventually have them as part of their fabric.
Thus making them humans but with a non organic body.
Anyway, AI is dumb today, really dumb, just dig a little bit into machine learning and you'll discover that most probably we will not live to see a "cyborg"

Ai will come in via devices you carry or wear, like fit watches and phone texts...phone tells you to get a vaccine... if you do, AI wins...your watch tells you your heartbeat is too fast so the doc gives you statins...Ai wins...turn the shit off...we win.
its that simple.
but we all saw the sheep during the fake pandemic....vaccine has literally had its definition changed by Cambridge ( not the oxford one) it doesnt vaccinate you but they all took it...masks never worked but they all wore em...70% will jump at the chance to be told what to do...the rest of us will ignore it.

elevators are the way to go - to space
Well its easier if you're starting up there in Canada
elevators are the way to go - to space
leave the exploding phallus at home boys there is a better way
Check out this inflatable version!
https://www.space.com/30272-space-elevator-inflatable-concept-patent.html
https://www.space.com/30272-space-elevator-inflatable-concept-patent.html
this could have the alternative effect of causing drag on the solar stream and switch off planetary turn.
You're right. Arthur C. Clarke touted the idea in one of the 2001 series. There's absolutely no reason that space elevators wouldn't work like a charm, once we have the knowhow and the engineering smarts to construct such an undertaking.
For those sceptics, it was also old Arty C who came up with the idea of geostationary orbits. Without him, the world would be a less well connected place. :-)

I'm so up for this. Always liked the idea of space travel but was put off by fear of the rockets bursting into flames. Getting an elevator up to a space station seems much more civilized. Hopefully there will be synth music and nice views on the way up.
Would cost to much to go nowhere + the size of the bottom would be colossal in size so it would require a vast amount of resources which humanity does not have. SpaceX is going in the right direction.
but it makes it into orbit, that's where all the revenue is. seems once you get it going its like the difference between a railroad and a stage coach.
Wasn't that lift idea in that movie ? errr what's it called... the one where two guys put on special glasses and can see the real world underneath the one we see. ? my memory after a dooby ....tut tut ...it's gone gone ...:)

NASA’s 1966 plan for a mission to Mars
Reagan on Mars, I like the sound of that.
NASA’s 1966 plan for a mission to Mars
The first, the "minimal" missions, would occur between 1976 and 1986 and would use Apollo-level (that is, 1970) technology. The second, the "extended" mission, which was tentatively scheduled to occur in the 1982-1986 time period, would require technologies beyond the Apollo state of the art.
Die erste Mission, die als "Minimal" bezeichnet wird, sollte zwischen 1976 und 1986 stattfinden und Technologien auf Apollo-Niveau (das heißt, aus dem Jahr 1970) nutzen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine frühere Phase, in der Raumfahrttechnologien noch nicht so weit fortgeschritten waren. Es sollten bestehende Technologien aus der Apollo-Ära verwendet werden, um das Ziel der Mission zu erreichen.
Die zweite Mission, genannt "Extended" (erweitert), sollte voraussichtlich in den Jahren 1982 bis 1986 stattfinden. Hierbei würden Technologien benötigt, die über den Stand der Apollo-Missionen hinausgehen. Diese Mission würde somit fortschrittlichere Technologien erfordern, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt entwickelt werden müssten, um die gesteckten Ziele zu erreichen.
Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass sich die Raumfahrttechnologie im Zeitverlauf stetig weiterentwickelt und neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Die "Minimal"-Missionen nutzen vorhandene Technologien aus der Apollo-Ära, während die "Extended"-Mission auf fortschrittlichere Technologien angewiesen ist, die über den damaligen Stand der Technik hinausgehen.
Diese beiden Missionen spiegeln den Fortschritt und die Ambitionen der Raumfahrt in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren wider. Jede Mission erfordert spezifische Technologien und Ressourcen, um ihre Ziele erfolgreich zu erreichen und das Verständnis des Weltraums weiter voranzutreiben.

I saw a post here once about game theory being the basis for modern behavior I can't find it but I agree and politicians are like an unsophisticated game show version.
"For example, if there was a phone number associated with the 911 call I was dispatched to, I called it from my personal cellphone and spoke to the person needing help while I was en route. This littlest of things has proved immensely valuable to me as I try to slow everything down while racing to an emergency. "
Jesus this is so obvious why does this guy have to use his phone for it.

Trying to rate an international buy but days to delivery returns
'insert number between 0 and 8'.
Rarely that fast in my experience.
'insert number between 0 and 8'.
Rarely that fast in my experience.
It’s because if it hasn’t arrived on day 9 after showing as sent the dispute button appears. The assumption is that if it hasn’t arrived after 9 days then it may not be coming and you should dispute to protect your coin.
This is solid for UK orders but yes allowance needs to be made for international.
If you can’t record the actual number and are hung up on accuracy then mention it in words in the review.

Maximum amount = days since order dispatch.
If it took 4 days for the vendor to send a parcel - just review it 4 days after getting the parcel.

Psycadelics are a loop of eccentric processing. Your receptors are all shaking in new patterns and then all of the interpretive processes are running on dizzy substrates too.
As far as effect goes I would have to say the biggest difference has to be emotions. While both of the substances open up "cognitive" connections, lsd seems to reach your deeper psychology. No matter how open a person is to their emotions there are always feelings that get repressed, its just how the brain works. It's like there’s always something there and LSD is going to bring it to the surface. This is why psychologists have done so much work with the substance.
Tolerance! Tolerance with LSD is very big, you can't use it regularly as your body needs to recover each time, same with mushrooms.
Onset! The 1st act w LSD is an exercise in discomfort so severe that it can initiate a bad trip. It's like there's a leveling that needs to follow that to really get started.

Movies, Shows and Docs Suggestions
A post to share suggestions. Share with LB what you've been watching and where is it.
Incredible show! I love how it portrays Daniel Larusso as the villain in the story, or at least shows Johnny's side of things. Although I thought season 2 was a little weaker than season 1, almost like a teen drama at times. Can't wait for season 3!
I have to see Sacha acting on The Spy. Will try it after House of Cards. Btw BORAT2 will be released end of next month! NICE!
anyone watching Raised By Wolves on HBOMAX? by Ridley Scott proper Alien/Prometheus vibes to it. Highly recommended
Rised by wolves was great. Even if you’r not a fan of the sf genre, the acting of mother and father was brilliant.
I also liked Dark on Netflix and Devs on Hbo.
Cheers!

I'm not currently subscribed to hbo... But they have (probably) the best series and I might unsubscribe from Amazon Prime to go to hbo
I use Kodi and have real debrid set up through seren add-on for kodi, every show u could ever want every network it's great
look into getting a Plex box. Bought it off ebay and for 50 quid a year i can watch HBO, amazon, netflix, etc. Its a pirated box
if you get a vpn service and dont mind downloading, then you should go to watchsomuch, they have shed loads of stuff there, series and movies.
all for free....
all for free....
Cheapest way to watch every movie and tv show imo is popcorntime. I use it for the kids to watch Mandalorean. Go to popcorntime.ie and dowload the app for the device you’r using. It has an option for streaming to tv set. Its like Netflix but for torrents. Cheers!
Think you can watch it on one of the Sky Channels now. Would like to check it out, missus doesnt like sci-fi, so will have to watch in my own time..
Watch 'Wayne', was on YouTube but moving to Amazon I think. Is very good.
The Queens Gambit on Netflix is also very good. Yes its about Chess, but alot more as well.

Search for 'Stobe the Hobo' on Youtube. A really beautiful set of amateur travel documentaries. I won't say more... See what you think.
I was just about to make a post like this lol anyway ive been watching f*ck, that's delicious ..highly recommend it
I gained 10kg in the last few months just from smoking... It might not be a good idea to smoke and watch a food show xD
He actually starts eating healthy towards the end and starts exercising ,drinking smoothies eating veggie dishes
I've been watching House of Cards, it's on netflix. Kinda like the idea how it's done and good story so far. Ended 2nd season atm, love Kevin Spacey acting
