Hi, this is a California specific post but I really hope this community will be so kind as to let me press this issue.

The state legislature in California voted of their own accord to decriminalize psilocybin last year and sadly our governor Gavin Newsom, chose to veto that legsilation.

Itś February 2026 now and Newsom has termed out and will not be allowed to run again thankfully. We need to be sure that our next governor is not going to stand in the way of decriminalization nor legalization of psilocybin. The only way to make that happen is the raise the priority of this issue in the primaries and now is the time to start doing so.

To get the gist of the question, a bit of background will help to make it clear what I'm asking.

I tried diffusing sandalwood oil into silicone oil directly and found that it didn't work that well. For a few days, there was a mixture but the sandalwood oil settled to the bottom after a few days. This was easy to detect because they have different colors. The carrier oil, silicone (100 cSt) is clear and the sandalwood oil is honey colored.

So I tried first mixing the sandalwood oil in 95% ethanol first and then adding it and initially this created an even mix but after a few days the opposite of the old situation arose. Instead of floating on the bottom, the sandalwood layer now floated o

When I first bought this tone control board in an effort to bring down the tone on the bass signal, I didn´t realize it was best to connect the ground leads on the preamp and amp power supplies.

At first, I hadn´t grounded the power supplies together and there was tons of noise when I tried to connect the preamp. Once I grounded the power supplies together, though, the noise disappeared completely and the tone controls worked as expected. There was no noise at all and I could set the volume and low/mid/high tone controls and it sounded nice.

That was great but the set I was testing it on was just a cheap 50W mono TDA3050 on a 20V notebook power supply and an old full-range speaker. When

In the photo I show a very simplified model consisting of five cubes cut in half and then stacked together. By rotating down to the bottom view, we can see that all the original edges are still in there creating a bit of a mess inside.

Now I do understand that I can just go into edit mode and manually delete those edges but I'm posting this image intentionally simplified. I'm actually wondering about a much more complicated cases using large sets of complicated curves that intersect in a similar manner as the cubes shown here but create a massive mess of unwanted vertexes in the interior.

Now I already tried using a well subdivided plane and the shrink wrap modifier to cover the shape an

I've read the information on tree rings and the importance of having trees planted exactly where the root flare begins because this region is a place where the tree needs to actively breathe.

I have to wonder, though, whether this applies in all climates and all species and I'm particularly interested in banyans which are quite notorious building eaters in the tropics which often climb up the sides of buildings as well as into and around entire massive stone temples as we see in places like Angkor Watt. Those trees seem to be eating those structures for lunch and soil compaction doesn't seem to be something they're too concerned about. Perhaps that's due to their very shallow and even surf

So, as per the title, this is a 2007 Benq(Taiwanese) LCD TV which was in great shape until it suddenly sopped powering on. The on-off button would turn from red to green when I pushed it and then the power-on would almost start and then. . . nothing. None of the buttons would do anything after that.

So, being a repair-minded person with a few ATX power supply fixes under my belt, I searched for tutorials on how to fix it and everything seemed to point to either the power switch or the power supply itself.

I got it open without breaking anything as far as I could tell and undid all the switches and connector cables and extracted the PSU. I powered the PSU up on the bench outside the unit
