But hey, check to see if your battery is still attached! :D vital for car functioning.

Yeah, it is, that's the first thing I checked. A while back I had problems not with my battery but with the wires leading from the positive terminal... they had gotten corroded quite a bit, had to have someone eventually take it apart and clean it. But it's not that because the car will run on the alternator even if the battery is dead, as long as the engine is on and the alternator is working. The fact that it shut off completely while running like a minute after turning it on after charging it for 5-10 minutes, and wouldn't start at all with a jump until it had charged some, seems to indicate the alternator.

Hope I don't have to spend too much. My friend just dropped me back off at home, after taking me to my car so the tow truck could bring it over. The good thing is that the place I took it to has their own tow truck so they did it either for free or really cheap... also it was like 3 blocks away. The dude is really hard to understand on the phone, so I can't tell whether the tow was free or not. My friend had them tow his car in to work on once and they didn't charge him.

Feels really weird to not have your car when you've had a car for 17 years. I feel like I'm 15 or something, have to get people to give me rides. I live in a spot where it's very difficult to get anywhere without a car, there are miles of a steep twisty mountain road to go down (which is super easy on a bike, but to go back up... not so much), before even getting to the main road. There is a bus stop like a mile away, but the bus only comes by there twice a day.

You'll know it's the alternator if it doesn't read voltage at the battery gauge. (IF you have one.) Might also be the ignition coil or ignition control module. Good luck!

Could also be a belt! Heheheehe I'm sure you checked that, too, though. :D

 

[Xorkoth]

Nah, I don't know enough about it to check stuff that doesn't have to do with simple things like brakes and related mechanisms, oil, etc.

Thanks, the guy is supposed to call me soon, they're checking it out now. Hoping it's just a belt, could be the alternator belt.

My trip to move back to Tucson is coming together quickly. My friend is starting a seasonal job at Mt. Zion National Park in Utah on April 7, and she will be dropping me off in Tucson on her way. I might stop by Asheville NC on my way as well, maybe get a chance to meet the fabled Xorkoth in human form,

 

[Xorkoth]

I'm so pissed right now... I finally received a nice, beautiful sparkly gram of MDMA I have been waiting for for over a month. Gonna use it to help facilitate healing for my girlfriend, hopefully. Also I wanted to use some for recreation, and was going to give half of it to my friend who got it for me, so he could give it to another friend. Well, I was trying to weigh it into separate amounts, and my fucking cat jumped up and knocked it all onto the carpet. Yeah, bad idea to weigh it on the carpet. Just spent 2 hours and I recovered around 300mg or so by painstakingly identifying crystals and picking them up with pieces of tape attached to my finger. It's enough for me and my girl, probably, but it just really sucks, I'm having a hard time getting over feeling pissed. My cat can be an asshole sometimes...

 

[Just A Guy]

That's a real bummer, dude.

My cats do that all the time, except with weed, and with weed, well, it's weed.

 

[Xorkoth]

Yeah it's a lot easier to pick up weed. And a lot less sad if you lose most of a gram of it.

Oh well nothing I can do about it now. Don't you wish life had an "Undo" button? Like, oops, I should have set up in a better place to do this, okay, control-Z, let's try again!

 

[vortech]

The last time I had some nice crystal MDMA in my possession, about 6 months ago, my mom raided my room and took everything she could identify as a drug....One of the reasons I look forward to moving out in a few weeks is my mother's strict no-drug policy, which is pretty hypocritical because my dad ends up doing those same drugs half the time after my mom confiscates them, on top of him being a nearly daily binge drinker and weed smoker. Anyway, I'm not pissed at them, they just can't understand the whole picture as well as I wished they could.

I'm really excited because I just got my first VJ gigs back in AZ next month. Gotta hone the 'll chops these next few weeks; the first impression is most important because it ultimately determines if I get booked for a string of additional gigs. So far, The Universe seems to be shining in my favor of this move in every aspect, and my optimism is high that it will continue to unfold as such. Adundance mindset shall prevail.

 

[TheAppleCore]

Don't you wish life had an "Undo" button? Like, oops, I should have set up in a better place to do this, okay, control-Z, let's try again!

Haha. One time my coworker asked me, "if you could have any superpower, what would it be?" and that was my answer. She was like, "...don't you think that's kind of selfish?" I guess it's selfish, but I could also ctrl-Z mistakes that hurt other people too.

But yeah, man. Losing drugs to carpets is my biggest regret in life to this day. :D

Oh gosh, I remember when my parents first found out I did drugs, and tore my room apart. I thought I hid my weed and nitrous chargers pretty well... NOPE, they were gone. (Well over a hundred bucks' worth of goodies, which is like the equivalent of $20k when you're a teenager. ) Luckily, they never found my acid. Hehehe.

Recently it occurred to me that I probably wouldn't have done nearly as many drugs as a teenager, if only my parents had provided some controlled outlet for altering my consciousness. The fact that they banned everything -- I wasn't allowed so much as a single hit of weed -- basically gave me 100% free reign with drugs, because it forced me to use behind their backs.

 

[Xorkoth]

Oh man TAC, you're right, that is the best superpower! Actually the best superpower is to be able to spontaneously generate new superpowers at will. But that one is kind of cheating, at least according to some people.

Shit, why didn't I think of that one? Omnipotence, basically.

 

[swilow]

My first use would be to prevent any other human from gainng superpowers and next would be putting my cat in charge of everything.

I can directly relate to that. I tend to have the same push-back response when control is attempted on my free will.
Fortunately not all of what my parents confiscate end up lost forever. Just a couple weeks ago I found a stash of 3meo in my dad's sock drawer. He of course denied using it, in a tone that strongly implied lying through his teeth- too bad because I feel like it could have been a way for us to bond, like the times back in 2013/14 when we did MXE together. MXE was one of those grey area drugs that my mom let slide most of the time because she knew how medicinal and inspiring it was for me. They are, however embarrassed to acknowledge that I spent 2 years writing a book about MXE. To this day they refuse to read any part of it.

Reminds me of the time I accidentally dumped 3 grams of MXE into my carpet. It ended up becoming a 'secret stash' for when I was in a particularly fiending mood for it, and I successfully excavated about half of it over the course of a month.

A lot of people have an innate knee-jerk response to the idea of fully living in a digital world. If told that they would have an undo feature available at any time, I'm sure many would warm up to the idea.

I'm just afraid that I would lose my soul / sentience. Also, the system should be very robust -- a server crash could be more devastating than a nuclear bomb, potentially.

 

[Bella Figura]

I had a tab of acid that was meant to be 250ug the other day. After an hour or so I was like 'pfft this is no where near' then about 2 hours in I was like :D:D:D%)

 

[TheAppleCore]

^ Did you swallow it straight away or suck on it first?

 

[Solipsis]

Also how much had you eaten? LSD absorption turns out to be quite dependent on stomach content, read that somewhere. Turns out while there is fundal absorption, you should probably not have a full stomach - perhaps it gets buried?

bad news at the doctor, latest PET scan shows my cancer is back in four spots. going to have to do chemotherapy again, possibly "high dose" chemotherapy this time... which means they have to take my own stem cells from me before chemo and then give them back to me after... sounds like really hardcore stuff. =/ meeting with a new specialist next week, will know more then. might have to stay inpatient at the hospital for the entire duration...
