Yeah...She asked me what I spent when I worried that I killed my 405nm w/G-2 lens. After I told her, she said, "I don't want to talk about this anymore." We're back to her not asking questions...provided I stop building once these three are finished....and I sneak in a reasonably priced over-spec green pen. If I blow more than $50 for that, I might be looking for housing.

Ya know what? As I wrote that, I decided "screw that!". I basically quit drinking entirely, I don't go out, I save money, I pay the bills. I think a $250 a year habit that I share in learning with my daughter is perfectly reasonable!

Time to state my case...:fightin:

know what i do? i lie lie lie. i tell my girlfriend that i'm doing a review for something or that it doesn't cost as much as it does, or i'll try and sell a laser but never really do. i mean i could sell all my laser on the forum in a day or two but why, i'd rather keep them and build some more.

Lies are normally the easiest option. I make $600/month more than her anyways, and she takes my whole paycheck and gives me a 100/week allowance, which I ways spend half way through the week and switch to the debit card.

Well for a medic, you're doing it right!!

Seriously though.. red bull has no energy it just tricks your mind that you have more energy when theres none left..

sorry for off-topic but i'm against ED's and i care for moh.

Well actually, it does kinda give you a kick or at least keeps you awake, but it's not that "taurin" crap which nobody on the planet actually knows what it does.

Check the caffeine and sugar content on the can.

Oh and for the record, I also love me some energy drinks but simply because of the taste, and nothing else.

mhemling33 · Mar 13, 2013

I feel like 5 hour energy give me a little kick because of its sour tart taste but I have ADHD and ED have the opposite effect on me. Doesn't make sense but hey there is little in this world that does :beer:

I know caffeine works for me... from lots and lots of experience.

Red bull actually makes me kind of sleepy and jittery at the same time... certainly no added energy.

The five hour energy shots definitely do help, but I think I'm developing a tolerance to them - the effect is not as perceptible and shorter lived.

If I really need an energy boost, generally I have one bottle of five hour energy, and a cup of coffee, with two spoons of sugar.

A small snack will also help raise your energy levels... if you absolutely must stay awake, snacking will keep you up. Obviously it's extremely unhealthy, but, in desperate times, desperate measure.

I am not a fan of amphet derivatives of any kind... way too much risk imho, although in the short term they work great.

Modafinil is an interesting drug, you can easily stay awake for 2-4 days with moderate doses. Of course at the tail end you will experience irritation, and mood swings, as well as loss of appetite, and extreme dry mouth.

As with everything, all things in moderation...

Eudaimonium · Mar 13, 2013

Well all things considered, it's far more healthier to simply eat something to keep self awake, rather than cramming your brain full of chemicals it doesn't need.

Also, my personal experience:
1) Coffee does exeptionally NOTHING except taste good. I drink gallons per minute simply because of that.
2) Two full glasses of water and you're surely awake for good 2 hours. I learned that by drinking some water right before heading to bed. I'll be rolling back and forth for like 2 hours not feeling sleepy at all.

sinner · Mar 13, 2013

I agree with Eud's water theory though, I know i drink 2 glasses of water right after i wake up and smoke a cigarette sometimes , This does help alertness reach faster!

@Coffee: Not much experience but Gallons? I once had a friend got low blood pressure and went into anaphylactic shock i think is what they call it.. after 4-5 cups i remember..

So that much could literally harm you.. !!

Eudaimonium · Mar 13, 2013

Obviously a poetic hiperbole

Realistically I have about 3-4 cups a day. I've been drinking coffee since creation of the Earth, I guess I got some tolerance to it, I've noticed that it doesn't even mildly affect my awakeness and awareness.

What it does though, is give you time to wake up while you prepare all the cups and pots and slowly sipping it. Not that I only have it in morning. Any time is good time for coffee.

Gosh dude! I imagined you drinking dark coffee straight through the gallon.. j/k

Caffeine has no effect on me except for making me unable to sleep. I drank two ED's one time without feeling anything. Same thing with those 5 hour energy shots - nothing.

Eudaimonium · Mar 13, 2013

Well it's a running gag between me and friends here, me drinking like, all the coffee, always

Anyway, yeah. ARG, the not being able to sleep maybe simply because you drank something, anything, like me and glasses of water. I know I can most surely have two cups of coffee and go to sleep. Been there done that.

Me and two friends looking at an old car.

Mohrenberg · Apr 5, 2013

A tiny car. I think I could fit that thing in the back of my truck.
