My Pixel 3, out of the blue just shut down, and wouldn't restart. Bricked for all intents and purposes. I would randomly check it to see if it would boot, and every once and a while it would, only to shut back down to brick status in less than a minutes. All despite plenty of battery.

Fast forward I contact google and they send me a refurb as I'm still under warranty. Today, I go to package the old phone for sending back, and low and behold it starts up. Thinking it's one of the random start ups, I take the opportunity to try and reset to factory before sending it back. This is the second time I've factory reset, with the first time not fixing the problem.

Well, now the original phone is

Hey folks, so I'm collaborating on a set of fantasy characters (to be 3D printed and painted) for a competition. My role is to model the human characters. Considering my current jobby-job workload, time is of the essence and I am considering using basemeshes (male and female) purchased on Cubebrush.com.

​

I am torn however as to the legitimacy of using someone else's basemesh. While I will be stylizing the characters, modifying their build/physique, posing, characterizing the faces, and adding clothes, there is a part of me that isn't comfortable with using a 3rd party mesh. However, there is another part that wants to not complicate matters.

Hey folks - I'm a former drinker, now occasional user of cannabis that is interested in experiencing a peyote, iowaska, etc. trip. I have a little experience with mushroom, and LSD, and ketamine (clinically) but would like to take myself to a higher plain, preferably outside in a natural setting.

​

In googling, I've come across some "churches", retreats, etc., but am concerned about safety, etc. I do not have a friend group that would be interested in doing this with me, nor would my wife, so I would be going solo.

​

Does anyone have experience with any places that they can recommend?

So I pulled a Hail Mary, in the hopes of getting a good deal off of Amazon. I purchased up a pair of matte black, bronze lens ($57.00), and a pair of matte rootbeer, bronze lens ($84.0p), Holbrooks. Two different vendors, but fulfilled by Amazon.

I’ve never held a confirmed legit pair of Holbrooks, , but I have to say what I got feels flimsy. Suspicious of both pairs, I took a closer look.

1. the lens etching “polarized” looks different than that on my genuine Crosshairs. Where the crosshair etched letter outlines are a fraction of a micron wide, and pretty obviously going into the glass, the polarized lettering on the glasses in question, looks wider, and just different. See pic below. h

These shoes tick most the boxes of what I'm looking for.

• Ultrarange (love my low cut pair)
• Ready for inclimate weather
• All black

That said, I haven't seen any reviews in my searches. Are these worth the cost ($170)? Do they hold up?

Thanks.

The rootbeer frame for $84 is easier to believe than $44 for the matte black.

Am I wrong, or are these legit? They're sold by 3rd parties, but fulfilled by Amazon, so I would suspect there is room there for shenanigans.

I do not recommend the combo. First pair of glasses. Progressive lenses, which I think is making it even weirder.

I had hoped perhaps MD would help me "bond" with the glasses experience. Nope.

I've since been told that you guys have already identified it as staged.

I'm not anywhere near an expert in EOD, but the way he "disarms" this device seems (IMO) a bit to casual, and completely devoid of procedure, to be legit. Not to mention, noone in the video seems concerned in the slightest that they are either strapped to, or next to an IED.

I called it out as likely staged and got stomped. I don't give two bits about Karma, but I do when it comes to bullshit.

Edit: I'm well aware t

Hey folks - So Bruce Banner turns out to be the strain for me. Great daytime creativity, that really sets me at ease from depression/anxiety, not to mention aches and pains.

Unfortunately, none of the dispensaries in my area are stocking it anytime soon. However, one of them does have Bruce Banner #3. I'm tempted to just go ahead and buy a 1/2, but am concerned the effect won't be the same.

I read that BB#3 is merely higher in THC, but otherwise the same. Is that the case in your experience?

Thanks!!

How do you like it? Does it breath ok?
