8 - 10 hours. I need my beauty rest.

Nice.. My jungle python does the same thing. She'll just perch up high looking down for prey.

Bongs? Fucking hell.. They should probably ban powerade bottles, hoses, etc while they're at it.

Fuck this fucking planet and its inhabitants.

Exactly. Follow the (paper) money trail to the central bankers / Wall St. Plenty of reading on http://www.zerohedge.com for those who aren't up to speed.

Yep. The Red vs Blue team thing is BS. In my opinion, it's merely a tactic to divide and distract.

God this country is a fucking joke. Edit: Oh, FFS: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/drugs-ban-a-proven-success/story-e6frgd0x-1226727161801

I never saw Nembutal (Pentobarbital Sodium) on SR, at least not recently... It's normally sourced online through chemical suppliers in China in salt form... Or so I hear.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I've read the paper on identifying a TOR server using traffic correlation as a result of a DDoS attack, and know Silk Road was DDoSed, however I don't buy that yet. I also think the official story is possibly somewhat horse shit. I'm guessing they did all kinds of illegal things to catch him.. How they just happened to intercept a bunch of Fake IDs seems a bit suss, for instance. If anything, the story has shown how resilient Tor is. Something else will just take SR's place shortly, hopefully run by someone a bit more paranoid and tuned in to privacy / security. Dread Pirate Roberts was a nerd turned criminal who didn't seem to stay sharp and got in way over his head.

Recovery? What recovery? All I'm seeing is Bernanke blowing asset bubbles (S&P500 and other markets, and now property... again.. *sigh*), and a stagnant, sluggish labour market with VERY skewed official statistics (oh hai guys.. unemployment is down!.. except not really, and job creation has been largely part time.. yay for lack of job security).. and, MOAR DEBT! Who gives a shit about debt, when you can just inflate it away? The large divergences between consumer spending and confidence, construction, unemployment and various markets hitting all-time highs is incredibly grotesque. Not to mention how distorted and fucking ruined markets are thanks to algorithmic trading and large hedge funds (see nanex.net for in-depth analysis on different techniques used, including examples of market crashes) If anyone thinks it's a game of red vs blue, they're a moron. Bankers run the show. Political affiliation means sweet FA anymore (did they ever?)

And the population being converted from full to part time to avoid Obamacare. It's basically another exercise in the transference of wealth and the eradication of the middle class. It complements Quantitative Easing (Round 23492034 or Round infinity?) quite well. The economy (on a global level) is fucked. At this point, the Americans are just kicking the can down the road. In one sense, as nihilistic as it sounds, I actually look forward to the next reset. It's fucking sickening the way the economy is so debt-fueled and how they end up in crippling amounts of debt only to further inflate asset bubbles (housing!). Of course though, the downside is that banks will be bailed out (or bailed in, if Cyprus is any indication of what the future holds). Unfortunately, history will just keep on repeating itself.

Here's the full criminal complaint: http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~nweaver/UlbrichtCriminalComplaint.pdf I don't believe anything in particular. However, I believe he WASN'T busted via the technology itself, having a reasonable understanding of how Tor works.. The weakest link with anything is still people making stupid fuck ups.

So... what now? Another market will pop up and take it's place (e.g. Atlantis). It's just a ridiculous game of cat & mouse. I would still say Tor is *fairly* 'untouchable'.. Here's a good discussion on how the owner of Silk Road was found / busted: http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1nl7p9/sr_shutdown_fallout_discussion/ It wasn't the technology that failed him, it was his own fuck up.

I have yet to try anything like HIIT, but from what I've read and heard, it can be more efficient and effective (particularly for weight loss) than longer workouts / endurance. Mixed martial arts might be worth a shot.

Hello... (holy shit, I'm back.. sort of, but not really..) I've been getting into fitness quite a bit over the last few months, mostly for weight loss and a little strength training (I've gone from 90kg down to around 76kg since the beginning of June). Here's what I do (in no particular order): 1) Cardio - Cross Trainer & Running (I dived in and spent around $2k on a good cross trainer. I'm glad I did. I go running sometimes, but the cross trainer is much lower impact). 2) Kettlebells - Good for a bit of strength training in short periods of time and if you do the right exercises, they seem to work the whole body. 3) Workout Trainer - Android/iphone app that has a heap of workouts built in with videos and an audio coach. I have a HDMI output cable, so plug my phone into a TV / monitor and go through different workouts (body weight, mat exercises, dumb bells / etc). It's free, but there are paid workout programs. I just paid for it, was $50 for a year which is nothing. Even if you use all the free workouts, there's a heap of them. 4) Fitness Blender -- Hundreds of decent, free workout videos made by a couple who are personal trainers.. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiP6wD_tYlYLYh3agzbByWQ .. I just download em all, so they can be played back on TV via media player or phone I don't follow a particular routine, I just do whatever I feel like. If my legs are sore from a previous workout, then I'll concentrate on upper body, for example.. Or if my whole body is sore, I might just do some cardio. Or, I might do a combination of different things in one day. Basically, I just do a combination of cardio, strength and resistance training. It seems if you concentrate on one set of exercises too much, your body adapts (especially if you're attempting weight loss like I am), so the key is to mix it up as much as possible.. This seems to have worked for me. I particularly love kettlebells, as there's such a large variety of different moves and I think I've seen the most results.. The key thing that everyone says is to make sure you get a dvd from a well-respected trainer or even go and get lessons from a kettlebell trainer to learn the moves & techniques properly. Having said that, I find at times I get a bit sloppy, particularly when I'm fatigued, and I haven't really injured myself. Just be sensible, I guess. I went for all the above because to be honest, I don't feel very comfortable with the idea of going to a gym full of bros. I also don't feel like utilising machines at the gym that resemble a grilled sandwich maker or some kind of torture device. I like being able to exercise in the comfort of my own home when I want. I usually exercise around 3-5 times a week, anywhere from 40 - 60 minutes each session. As for recovery, I find a BCAA supplement seems to help a little (or at least works as a placebo), or you could try a full protein supplement or adjust your diet accordingly.. I should also note that my goals are weight loss and building lean muscle. I'm not really interested in bulking up or anything like that. EDIT: I also forgot, I use www.myfitnesspal.com to keep a food journal so I can monitor my calorie intake.. Both android & iphone apps are available, and it's completely free. It has probably helped the most for weight loss. Once you realise what you're consuming, you quickly learn to adjust to help reach weight loss goals (if that's your thing).

Hi All, I recently made some BRF cakes which were put into a fruiting chamber after dunking and rolling. After putting 4 cakes into a fruiting chamber, after 3 weeks I only had harvested around 2 - 3 small to average mushrooms per cake. I then waited a week thinking low temps would be screwing with fruiting. At this stage, the cakes weight 50 - 55g.. I compared this to a newly birthed and dunked cake which weighed in at 86g. I figured this was a bad first flush and as a result, I've re-dunked the 4 cakes for 24 hours to bring back up the moisture content and put them back into the shotgun fruiting chamber. The shotgun fruiting chamber is made 'to spec'.. Holes on all six sides, 2 inches apart. 5 inches of wet perlite (i've experimented with the amount of perlite, from 3 - 5 inches). I usually mist and fan the enclosure 3 times a day -- once in the morning, once after work, and once before bed time. Sometimes I'll mist 4 - 5 times a day. I can confirm the humidity is usually 90%+, sometimes dropping to 85%, but not for long periods of time. I have 2 x 20W 6500K CFLs above the fruiting chamber in an Exo-Terra (reptile) light fitting. As I followed the PF tek to spec as well (correct ratio of verm, BRF and water), I'm not sure why the cakes have performed so badly. After seeing a lot of pics from other people's grow logs, I don't understand why I don't even get a decent pin set. I understand that fresh air exchange, water evaporation and lighting are all major pinning triggers -- I think I've accounted for these in the design of the fruiting chamber, the compact fluoros running, and my daily misting/fanning routine. I've also read some people say cakes can be temperamental at times. Can anyone think of what I may have done wrong? I'm already looking forward to just inoculating some WBS-filled quart jars (wanting to confirm first the WBS I have is fungicide free if I'm going from a spore print) and just spawning straight to a monotub. I should also note that the 4 jars thus far (I have another 4 jars I'm waiting on) were left to colonise for 3 weeks. They were left to consolidate for another 7 days, at which point there was pinning in the jars. Cheers

How can I delete my account? Is there a way? Or, at the very least, can I change my nick name to something else to partially Remove my presence?

Just to clarify a few things... Why I wish to leave: 1) The way that threads degenerate (like this one!) and go off on bizarre, unrelated tangents. Psylo being banned has NOTHING to do with why I wish to leave. It's interesting how I asked if I could delete my account, and then people start theorising that it's to do with Psylo. Next thing Evil Genius accuses me of blaming SAB mods for Psylo's treatment. What the hell? I merely asked how I could delete my account. I didn't ask to have content/posts deleted. Although I suppose this thread isn't really any different to the bat shit insane conspiracy theories that go around, right? The way that such an innocuous thread causes crazy hypothesising, then tensions to flare up and such divisiveness is a little unsettling, to say the least. 2) For an arena that prides itself on being a 'community' with all the back patting and self-congratulatory rhetoric, it sure does seem like an insular little clique at times. No different to any other social group, really? 3) I have trust issues with this site. First, we had a garbage, sensationalist story on Seven news, followed by a raid. Now, we have all these random new members asking for <insert something illegal here>. Not to mention, what seems to be an influx of new members doing ridiculous giveaways (address harvesting?). There have also been instances of people posting illegal items to other people without their knowledge / consent. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I prefer the term 'cautious'. Not that I do anything illegal, but I just don't want to be within the blast radius if/when something does happen. 4) I don't really have anything to offer the site. My main interest is Mycology. I don't really have anything to offer, except prints. Whilst there are certain loopholes in the law allowing trading of said prints -- don't giveaways raise a red flag? Prints have to come from somewhere, right? I'm pretty sure they don't appear out of thin air for keen mycologists to study under a microscope. See point 3 above. I could probably go on and on, but really don't see the point. Given the way this thread has already degenerated, I'll expect to see a bunch of poignant rebuttals and it will just go back & forth for all of eternity. But really though, I don't have the time or energy to waste on that. Sorry. Mods, feel free to delete/censor/whatever this message if it somehow violates whatever. I really don't care if it's an issue to delete my account. A name change is sufficient. I also don't care about my posts. Write a book with them, go to a publisher, whatever. I don't care... I won't expect royalties. And as far as I'm concerned, there's no 'moral' to the story. I haven't posted anything I regret and wish to be removed.

I think a sharman is a shaman named Sherman, perhaps?

Agree with colhawk. There seems to be an abundance of new users on this forum wanting a 'quick fix' and incriminating themselves and others by asking for <insert something illegal>

I just had to quickly check the date to make sure this isn't someone's idea of a really bad April Fool's joke. I guess it isn't?

They should just give out baggies of weed instead so people know what to look for! I'm sure they confiscate plenty they could hand out to help people "identify" farms. Or, to *really* inform the public of what they should be looking out for, they could hand out cannabis seeds so people can grow it themselves and they'll know exactly what to keep an eye open for..

What's wrong with anal fisting?

Wow.. This is SOOOOOO surprising!
