Indeed. They’re all the rage in China right now (I AM NOT A TANKIE). Some are predicting they’re the “next generation” of battery technology.

Have you ever carried a backpack full of books? They’re heavy af. Probably easier to just take over the library and move everything else there.

Then do that instead of asking random people who aren’t in any position to know.

If you can find a place to buy it, 4-ACO-DMT is legal to buy and own and it metabolizes directly into psilocyn (the same chemical psilocybin metabolizes into).

Of course, you should always use a test kit to verify your purchase.

The good thing about this chemical is that you can dose it out and know exactly what kind of experience you’ll have ahead of time. With homegrown stuff, you never can tell. One button cap might do nothing, or it might make you trip your fucking face off; no way to know which one until it’s already happening. Sometimes, that’s part of the fun. But sometimes, you just want a guaranteed chill time. Not every trip has to result in ego death, naw meen?

I didn’t say that at all. I said an e-reader is a better choice for people on the move, and books are a better choice for people who intend to stay put.

I didn’t say anything about whether moving or staying is a better choice because that would be an ignorant statement. Without knowing the exact scenario that will occur, it’s impossible to say whether leaving or staying would give the greater chance of survival.

I didn’t say anything about whether books or an e-reader is “superior” overall because that would be an ignorant statement. Like everything else in this world, each choice has pros, cons, and tradeoffs that make one better in certain circumstances, and the other better in different circumstances.

But if making shit up about what people say is what it takes for you to “win” arguments on the internet, more power to you; that reflects a lot more about you than it does me.

Look up Project Farm on YouTube. They’ve done several episodes on solar panels and power banks. Data sheets with their test results are linked in the description of every video.

Nice, that’s a good deal. If the panel just has a single USB, I would guess there’s no internal regulator; it seems to be one of those panels that just gives you the juice and relies on you to manage it. With the price point of that power bank, it doesn’t seem like it would have one either. I’m sure the spec sheet or manual will tell you for sure.

If you don’t care about that cheap power bank, then you can abuse it until it misbehaves then replace it. If you want to protect it, prepare for a bigger bank, or just tinker with your setup, a charge controller for a system your size should be around half the price of your power bank.

Those big Jackery boxes and others claim to not need one. But they’re also like $2,000. A charge controller is like $10. To me, it seems worth the $10, even if it does ultimately do “nothing”.

Lead-acid battery cells can be replaced pretty easily. The hardest part is sourcing the acid. But, if you can find that, replacing the cells can be done in your garage with basic tools and PPE.

Photovoltaic cells can be replaced easily with a soldering iron and most panels are designed to tolerate a certain percentage of the cells failing. Building new cells might be a challenge, but maintaining the ones you already have is trivial, assuming you can source parts for them.

It may not be perfect or indefinite, but it will certainly get you by for a while, very likely long enough to figure out a longer-term solution.

Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good enough”.

don’t charge devices directly from solar power

Unless your power bank has a built in charge controller, this should also include your power bank. At its core, a power bank is nothing more than a big ass lithium ion (or maybe potassium ion, if it’s newer) battery, just like the one in any other device.

Paper books are fucking HEAVY and bulky. They’re only practical if you don’t ever need to take more than one or two anywhere. If you gotta be on the move, the extra equipment to manage the battery is much lighter than the books you would need to carry otherwise.

Another advantage to an e-reader is that I can remove the battery and it’s completely waterproof, as long I completely dry it before the battery goes back in, it can get as wet as I need it to, no problem. Books don’t have that option.

Time, in hours (H), equals average solar kilowatt hours per month (K), multiplied by the price of one kilowatt hour (P), divided by the total cost © of all the purchased components.

H = (K * P) / C

I’m sure if you were patient and dedicated enough, you could approximate each of those numbers using the info OP has already posted and get a general idea (weeks, months, or years).

It doesn’t sound like you did acid. It sounds like you had some research chemical. Nbomes are dangerous if you take three hits, so probably not that. I’ve never seen LSZ or any of the 2Cs give the visuals you’re describing, so probably not those either. If you’re in the USA, all those were emergency scheduled, so it’s not really worth the effort to synthesize them anymore. I’d guess you got some new chem I haven’t heard of.

Acid is completely tasteless on the blotter; it should taste like just paper. Research chems taste bitter or metallic and burn slightly. As we used to say, “If it’s bitter, it’s a spitter.”

Real acid starts with a bit of a body high and some vasoconstriction. Then colors become more vibrant, I start to see tracers, then stuff starts to wiggle. At higher doses, the wiggles become colorful, then become their own entity entirely. The whole experience is very colorful, like seeing the world through a kaleidoscope.

You’ll start to feel it after about 30-45 minutes, come up for about an hour, then peak for 4-6 hours, then slowly come down over the next 4-6 hours.

Movies never seem to get it right, but those gifs that are created to freeze, glitch out, and then melt away look kinda close sometimes.

Definitely not an nbome if he took three tabs without problems. Nbomes have an exponential dose response curve. One hit gets you buzzed, two hits gets you tripping balls, three hits is enough to be very uncomfortable and potentially dangerous.

The only time I did three hits of nbome, I legit thought I was gonna die. My heart rate was about 160-180 bpm for 2-3 hours, thudding against my chest harder than it ever had before or since, I was pouring sweat like I’d just gotten out of the pool, and the vasoconstriction was so intense, it was actually VERY painful. Honestly, the fact that I was so young and still in decent shape probably saved my life. If I took that dose today, I’d probably die of a heart attack.

I loved The Jackal for that scene with JB. That’s an amazing scene in an otherwise “meh” movie

Ah, a classic. Amazing how practical effects from 1996 hold up so well today.

A slightly more well-known film with SLJ in a minor role is Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy, where SLJ plays a holdup man at a restaurant (I think McDonald’s).

If you enjoy it, it already has.

You’re already doing better than most by testing your gear and knowing what it can do BEFORE you have to rely on it, so good work.

I would suggest investing in a charge controller if your panel or power bank doesn’t have one built in. The power delivery from a panel fluctuates with the amount of light it receives. A charge controller will ensure your connected devices receive clean, constant current, which will greatly extend their lifespan.

Depending on your setup, I might also suggest exploring some kind of mechanical backup, like a hand crank or a modified bicycle to get you through overcast days.

Solar is a lot of fun to tinker with.

This show is obviously just to bait people into making better fighting robots for the military, free of charge.

Kissing girls doesn’t make you quick scope better

Samuel L. Jackson is the highest grossing actor of all time. His first non-independent film role was Gang Member No. 2 in the 1981 film, Ragtime.
