India is aligned with Russia, and opposed to China. Not hard to see the geostrategic factors in this.

This seems pretty likely to me. Possibly simply the types of sugars feeding the bacteria, causing the excess production of a metabolite that is toxic to the nerve.

You probably knew that most food grade citric acid is produced by feeding E.Coli certain types of sugars. I wouldn't be surprised if this is involved somewhere in it because I also suspect citric acid contributes, the combination of malts and citrates at the same time is probably optimal for the problem to be caused, which again also points towards an acid loving bacteria.

I've had this weird issue with certain foods, especially sweet ones, that yes, malt seems to be a common factor at least to some degree, that causes nerve pain in my jaw area in general, not just on the right side but on the left as well.

It is probably relevant also that when the malt has been caramelised (ie stout beer) there is no problem with this.

I don't think so. I think it's the core vulnerability.

If the knowledge of the truth is shared, it is a strength that makes the group stronger. A group delusion makes an unstable society that can be exploited by people who understand this.

I think that the genetic/epigenetic basis of this capacity to ignore reality eventually must lead to a crisis that involves a massive amount of deaths from the inevitable consequences of such errors being ignored and the problems of them accumulating over time.

I know I'm not in that group, I am repulsed by this behavior and as much as I am not a fan of people dying I am also tired as fuck of living in a world full of people who are capable of being deluded into believing a cold virus is lethal to anyone with adequate to moderately poor health.

This is a society that will run on command over the edge of a cliff, and I'm not gonna stand in their path, tyvm.

I am almost certain that it was the combination of sugar and artificial sweeteners. I was eating some 70% chocolate that probably had maltodextrin in it, and that is the stuff that causaes the problem. Either that, or a lot of sugar plus sucralose and/or acesulfame K.

The problem was way way worse with maltodextrin, Marks and Spencer's brand chips, even the "plain" salt and pepper have maltodextrin in them, and one pack of that stuff and I am in pain for a week.

I didn't just test it once, I tested it twice, because I am stupid. Second time around was the "unflavored" salt and pepper. Two weeks that I was hardly functional.

This time hasn't been so bad, which tells me either the dose of maltodextrin was too low, or it was the combination of Acesulfame K/Sucralose and a shit-ton of sugar combined. The problem wore off within 24 hours this time.

I'm not putting off the dentist visit for fun, I don't have the money to deal with it right now.

I'm just avoiding all artificial sweeteners preemptively now, and reading anything else closely to make sure they haven't put this vile garbage in.

Maltodextrin is the worst artifical sweetener there is. It makes me piss brown instantly, and now it absolutely is fingered for causing a long lasting tweak on my exposed dental nerves.

The dentist who said to leave that half broken lower right wisdom tooth in was sure there was nothing amiss with the whole tooth, that remained, and I wish I'd insisted on getting it out at that time when I had the chance, but on the other hand, I now know without question that artificial sweeteners have effects on nerves that nobody talks about.

I'm getting them all out as soon as I can, I want this anyway, as my lower jaw is crowded anyway, and it will greatly help my smile to have some more room down there.

I have extremely robust teeth, abnormally robust. In 40 years, the last 20 of which involved drinking a lot of acidic, sugary energy drinks, and still out of that only two cavities ever formed, and this wisdom tooth is just a freak, half of it died, the other half is fine.

Once the wisdom teeth are out of my mouth I'm sure that my dental issues are going to go away completely, as I have been religiously brushing and more recently added flossing and a non-alcohol containing mouthwash to my regime, and the only other problem I have at the moment is I think my brush is too hard and it's hurting my gums.

The sooner toxic people are shunned the sooner life improves. I had a whole swarm of them on me at the beginning of 2022 and within weeks of realising what was going on, everything got a hell of a lot better.

And the same applies to people on social media too. I'm now proactively muting people I see my follows replying to retarded notes regurgitating official narrative talking points.

The less I see this shit, the more time I have to do things that matter. Distraction is the last resort of the manipulators if all other tactics are failing, and the one that shunning completely defeats.

The mass hallucination continues.

*much higher temperature.

Another trick that might work is using baked epsom salts to dry out the dissolved extract in butter. With totaly dried out epsom salt, all the trace water that would otherwise contaminate the butter is eliminated and takes the chlorophyll with it.

I might just add that you don't get any of this kind of problem if you do your extraction with naptha (petroleum ether) in the first place, so long as you completely dry the bud before you do the extraction. It comes out a golden honey colour instead of nasty greenish black.

In fact, even better is to just go straight to oil, start with something like beef dripping, do your extraction into that directly, and then separate with water.

Dripping is better because it solidifies much harder at a much lower temperature, meaning you can get the job done sooner.

Cocoa butter also is a reasonable alternative, and contains a lot of stuff in common with beef dripping, mainly the stuff that makes it hard, stearic acid.

I am for only the second time having problems with my internet connection. Specifically, I have a VPS in Kazakhstan, and I mirrored a moderately large repo to the Gitea server on it, and then tried to clone the one from my server.

It gets to part way into downloading the larger *.pack files in the git and connection is severed.

Tried with the zip, again, gets a few megs in and bam, MAC error on the packets.

I literally have to use a VPN to download stuff from my own VPS right now.

They don't seem to tamper with my traffic if I use a UDP based VPN that starts in the netherlrands so fingers crossed it stays that way.

The new Iron Curtain is coming, people.

The man who said "pull it" would be a good start.

But as much as it's interesting history, I'm in no need of being better convinced, and I think you probably already have encountered the hallucinations that normies have about the impossibility of the GoVeRnMeNt DoInG bAd ThInGs. ThAt'S iMpOsSiBlE. sOuRcEs?

Ok, well I only wrote this: https://elfspice.tripod.com/acacia/acacia_extraction.html

I know nothing about psychedelic drugs ok?

I'm pretty sure that the techniques I described in there, that I learned from researching extraction chemistry on thehive were key to DMT being accessible to almost everyone now.

Also, don't tell me to shut up, that's never going to work.

Hallucinations are not only seeing things that are not there.

They can also be not seeing things that are there.

The brain's capacity to edit things out, this type of omissive hallucination, is something that the majority of humans are capable of and experience on a regular basis, and can be induced to experience it, unwittingly, by hypnotic suggestion.

Some people, like me, still have the hallucinatory capacity, but not the vulnerability to hypnotic suggestion.

It's kinda frustrating because I have hypnotic/trauma imprinted programs in me, but normal hypnosis doesn't seem to touch me, no matter how much I want it to.

This is probably why I got so interested in psychedelics, and probably need to resort to them to finish the job of clearing out the crap.

My very first reaction to it as I watched the live broadcasts was "oh that's rather convenient for georgie poo".

Oh it was completely manufactured, and a lot of people benefited. The owners of the towers saved a lot of money not having to deal with the asbestos problem, for one. And it was then easy to ram through the Patriot Act as well.

If Stalin and Mao used Marx to excuse their authoritarianism then he's still implicated. Not only that, Marx's character and his family connections are highly suspicious.

I am sad for you if you grew up in eastern europe and your elders didn't warn you about what the dangers of Marx's hogwash were.

911 was an inside job. None of it could have happened without a lot of trusted public figures conspiring against the public.

Well, I totally understand your thinking there but I just don't have to think about it any more. I can plug this thing into a phone even if I want to, and as I say I have two of them and they aren't that big.

I agree in principle, the power factor is needed. Walking 10 hours on flat is not gonna help you run, but walking up 20' slopes for 10 hours a day will, because you need so much power in each step compared to on the flat.

As regards to typing, I do only have to press more lightly but my velocity is overall higher because I can now type close to 100wpm where on stiff membrane normie keyboards I topped out at 65 or so.

So the speed in this case does compensate because velocity increasing increases power.

I basically can't type on the old layout anymore tho. When I have to deal with qwerty I'm two fingers and annoyed as hell.

yeah, I love my chery silvers. I have seen these other types, the mechanical/optical and membrane suspended but I specifically want to get away from rubber altogether, I type so much that the switches stop working after about a year on a regular membrane keyboard, and even sooner if I also game on it at the same time. I think optical would be a good thing so long as the switching mechanism doesn't change the spring/lever mechanic.

Also, fuck what people are used to. People used to think that all women should wear 3"+ heels too, even though we haven't been riding horses for a century. Heels in general have not gone away. Also very biomechanically unsound.

Fuck their unergonomic shit. some things are worth suffering a bit of inconvenience for. I'm sure you also have an RSI/carpal tunnel story associated with the heavy and nasty stiff membrane keyboards.

I made a special layout that follows dvorak and puts J = ж, x = ю, w = ш, c = ц and these characters go in logical places along the number keys: ы№эчёщъь I did all this to type bulgarian cyrillic, and discovered that the bulgarian layout is missing only one key that is present in the russian, but all bulgarian symbols are on the russian, so I just use the russian layout, and that lets me also type the "yo" Ё

I want to change to programming it using the compose key combos because then I don't have to change the layout as well.

Did you know that web browsers always leak your keyboard layout? I was typing since 2004 on Dvorak, leaving a more than distinctive fingerprint on web browsers. Even with all the antifingerprinting turned on, nope, they still confess your damn keyboard layout. So it's nice to now not be leaving that mark everywhere.

And yeah, I'm gonna have to reprogram my keyboard again so I can make all that easier.

I could never go back to qwerty, and with a pair of idobao 75s laying around I never have to go back to staggered either.

I am never buying an android phone again. But I am anchored to one thanks to needing a fiat onramp, it's either that or kyc to a bank. The xapo bank is the lesser of two evils I think. I can keep that bastard phone far away from me and/or turned off and locked up. Rgiht now, it needs to be on so I have internet but once the cables are connected it's going to be locked up except when I need to receive some sats.
