Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

  • As someone with ADHD, the results of this study are encouraging, but limited. They summed it up well in the article, but the study only covered people who were self-microdosing and then self-reporting, which leaves lots of uncontrolled variables.

    “This study is a naturalistic prospective study, meaning that we measured participants over time without manipulating any variables such as substances and doses they used for microdosing during the study,” Haijen said. “In contrast to a controlled lab-based study, where drug- and dose uniformity is guaranteed. Also no control group was included, so we cannot say if this effect was purely because of microdosing, or if other factors, such as placebo- or expectancy effects, were the main force behind the changes we observed. So this study should be seen as a first step in this research direction, as more and controlled studies will hopefully follow.”






  • Why thank you! There’s a few “genres” of cooking and baking that I know well enough to freestyle, and a lot of it is just tasting and knowing how to balance if you’ve gone too far in one aspect or another.

    Like for example, I wouldn’t normally make this with corn in it, but I’d tossed a bunch of jalapenos in with the pork that had turned extra spicy with heat stress from a recent heatwave in my area. So in tasting the stew, I decided it was overly spicy, and dumping in a half cup of corn took the spice down a notch.
















  • You sure can walk through it, it’s tall enough my 6’ fiance fits standing underneath. We usually only barely kiss freezing a few times in the winter, so I haven’t bothered to use it to try to keep things warmer. I weave tomatoes over it in the summer and peas in the winter.

    I need to take an updated photo (the arch is fully covered now), but here’s a before/after of pruning and weaving this year’s tomatoes on it after they went wild when I was on vacation in May:
