Community
Anyone else really want community around mysticism and mystic experience (especially with regard to integration and support) but don't know where to find it? Anyone have recommendations?
Harvest tonight or wait until tomorrow?
This was around noon before I left the house. The big one opened up overnight Thursday and the rest of them basically opened up between last night and noon.
For anyone reading, someone had previously commented how much these grow after the veil gets ready to break and finally does and it’s really true.
Pics are ordered today at lunch, and the previous 3 evenings.
Happy with a successful first grow and first flush.
First grow first pins

Saw this in Western North Carolina (USA) and wondered what it is.
Community vs Cliques
Anyone else go through a period of healing only to find out that what they thought was community was just a bunch of cliquish fakery?
Where does one find actual community where people arrive and interact with presence and authenticity instead of carefully curated personas with strict rules of engagement?
Where’d Achievements Go?
Opened the app yesterday and the achievements section is gone. I can’t even find out where to access them at all in the mobile app currently (iPhone).
Reflection on new boundaries in 2026 and when do I become the one ghosting
There is a question here but also a reflection on changes I've made over the past 6-9 months.
Long story short, I realized being self-employed running a small business was it's own source of trauma in the midst of realizing how much years of emotional neglect from my family of origin has impacted me and coming out of recovery from a natural disaster.
I decided to use the time at the end of 2025 and start of 2026 to intentionally step back and put the energy toward healing. I was pretty clear people this was what was taking place and in the process communicated a shift away from texting about anything in place of phone calls or in person interactions for emotional content (how one is actually doing).
It's honestly been a bit surprising how most of who I was connected with has just evaporated. A group I was connected to running the same kind of business and they've all just disappeared. I learned workaholics can't be anyone's friend as the commitment / obsession with overworking overrules everything else. One of those seemed like we had more of a relationship than what it's turned out to be and in hindsight I just wonder if it was some kind of platonic limerence.
A number of others I had less connection with popped up with a "Been thinking of you, hope you're well / how are you" text after nothing at all in months or years. All of these have been professional friend type connections as well.
My actual friends and I are connected regularly through phone calls, getting together, and texting - there hasn't been an issue engaging.
In trying to make sense of things (because we all seem to get stuck on that), I'm wondering if the read on the fair weather, or only connecting through work, read on things is accurate. I've already made peace with the fact I likely placed more potential on these relationships than the others in them likely did.
Also, for the "Been thinking of you" texters, do I have to respond? Outside of networking events, I've never been able to build relationships in spite of expressing a desire to.
At this point, it's fairly clear that the bonds were through working in the same field more than anything else and that leaves me with no interest in wanting to maintain relationships around just that.
It's early for me and I'm less caffeinated than I would like to be and have to pop off to go to work.
Thanks!
What’s Clipping (amp or voice coil) SVS 1000 Pro
So this is my SB 1000 Pro set to -9db and 0db coming out of a Denon AVR-670H.
Source is an iPhone with lossless across WiFi and generally really clean for most things.
Is the click that’s happening the voice coil bottoming out on the 3rd, 4th, and 6th sustained notes on the baseline or the amp / DSP?
I’m a bit surprised with it being set to -9db through the SVS app. I would hope the DSP would catch and adjust to prevent this.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
For the bass heads, the track is New Mexico by Sarah Jane. This is more intense on the sub than Kendrick tracks at the same level including B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe. House music is a whole other story but seems to not produce the click sound as much.
Boot padding moved?
I have a set of Merrell Moab boots and on the left one, the padding that is normally in the top section moved itself down to the next section. The right boot is fine and my low tops have the padding still in place. Is there anyway to fix this? They’re still comfortable but I can feel the difference when in first put them on and then stop noticing. Thanks
Trying to describe the experience
I’ve been exploring my sense of visualization (or lack there of).
Does it make sense to say that I can visualize but it’s like the film is playing but the bulb in the projector is out.
I have the sense of seeing things rather than thinking about what seeing things would be like but it’s like it’s not illuminated nearly all of the time. I have a sense of experiencing a visual with details but it’s not illuminated so I don’t really get to look at it. I can get flickers of illumination on the visuals. It feels more like a mental block to seeing it rather than an absence of visual imagery.
Anyone else experience anything similar?
Anyone have any luck replacing the lightbulb?
EDIT: fixed the awkward wording in my original post to read better
I have more the idea of something and thinking of it visually … it’s more like the visual is there and I can get a clear sense of it and details but it’s like it’s not illuminated.
Cleaning recommendations
I’m in a rented space with an infrared sauna that hasn’t had the best maintenance. I’ve finished cleaning and drying it and have ordered some sauna wood oil to put onto it before it’s used again. Any recommendations for how to address these spots before it goes back into service? Thanks!
I have a loft space that’s getting more and more use for yoga classes and dancing. I have a microfiber floor “mop” and it always leaves behind a film regardless of cleaner. So far I’ve used the Bona brand and their “floor mop” and a 50/50 vinegar water blend and both leave a film that seems like it’s slowly building up over time. (See pics)
I feel like it’s the microfiber not picking up more than a dust mop even though it’s damp.
Anyone out there have experience regularly cleaning floors in a similar space with similar use? Eventually it would likely be 1-2 times a week.
Thanks!
I’m about to turn 46 and like to roller skate. When I’m trail skating, my Fitbit average for the hour or so is often 150-155bpm with peak in the mid 160s for maybe a couple of minutes total through the time skating. Every now and then it hits in the 170s for a moment. I’ve never experienced any discomfort, shortness of breath, our pounding heart and it tends to drop down to the 130s or lower when I stop for a moment.
I also have an infrared sauna and use it regularly. I wear the Fitbit in it and usually have it 140-155bpm. When it’s averaging 155bpm I usually get out after a few minutes.
I guess the question is am I going too hard for my age?
