  • I find that being high reduces my racing overthinking by a lot and makes it significantly easier to socialize. Yeah my executive function crashes but eh. Worth.
    What I find interesting is I gain a sort of clarity for the day or two after a good session. It’s like my mental fog clears up and it’s easier to push myself forward into doing things before I return to baseline. This effect goes away if I toke too many days in a row of course so I only do it maybe once a week at most.

    A good friend of mine who is very adhd and also on the autism spectrum tokes very frequently, mostly as a sleep aid.






  • Vehicles without reg can be towed legally as long as the towing vehicle is up to date… at least if it’s on a trailer or 2-wheel tow dolly (“vehicle in control”) and depending on the state. Writing “in tow” on it is a common thing to do if they’re being flat towed (aka not on a trailer but via a cable or tow bar) but there is no legal protection provided by it; since the vehicle is entirely on the ground it needs registration basically everywhere AFAIK.

    Dealers and some mechanics shops get assigned dealer plates that they can affix magnetically to any car to indicate ownership for transport or test drives. They don’t write anything on the cars.


  • That’s still only a single model that is <8% of Nissan’s already abysmal US sales volume. Nissan’s massive pile of garbage that fills up the rest of portfolio (and institutional problems behind the scenes) is absolutely NOT worth dealing with for the technology in a single model like that, even if it is “necessary” to offer to ensure compliance eith wishy washy regulatory soon-to-be’s. They would be much better off clean-slating their own, EV tech is significantly easier to develop compared to new ICE designs and if anyone is capable of that, it’s Honda.
