I seem to have missed the question.
This is a satire community, but I have seen the occasional non-meme float through here with mixed results....
You were in a corrugated plastic pipe factory and the cigarettes were an issue? Damn. You would think the VOC off-gassing from hot plastic would break you first...
Yeah, I wasn't doing shit at 19 but spending all day at a coffee shop, learning how to make fake IDs and playing pool at night.
I still drink coffee, work in IT Security and play a sick game of pool +25 years later. So by some measures, I haven't accomplished much of anything either. (I jest. I have had a very interesting life, but it hadn't even started yet when I was 19.)
I am a huge advocate of psychedelic therapy, but I would be a bit wary of it for younger adults unless OP is willing to submit to a study.
By all means, OP should talk to a professional about it, but it still seems like it would be in an experimental phase for that age range.
Very fast, right at the base of the skull.
That combo is too inefficient for me. I like coffee, but if I am prioritizing caffeine and still want something more sugary, an energy drink would be fine.
So, a bottle of water and a large Red bull would be sufficient and easier to transport, while also staying in-line with what I would carry around if I really wanted multiple experiences.
It would be a protostar, I believe. As the gas required for the star collapses in to itself from gravity, it will get still get super hot as density increases. It still takes a bit for the heat and pressure to reach a point to start fusion.
Edit: Conflicting report that it may have started fusing hydrogen: https://www.iflscience.com/it-looks-like-weve-found-betel-buddy-betelgeuses-suspected-companion-star-80082
Oh, was I using the correct lingo for hundred year old methane powered shit gushers? I had no idea. Lol!
The weird part is that it still looks like The Rock.
use spent oil reservoirs
Ok, that lead to some giggles thinking about some company drilling in the future thinking they were about to hit a strangely untapped oil field.
Add a hundred years of methane pressure build up and that could be really interesting gusher.
You didn't answer a very specific question: Have you been to Chicago or do you live in Chicago?
Understanding your perspective on a question is important to answering a question.
Stop accusing others of deflection, when you are not giving supporting information. Now quit being defensive and answer any other questions people may have.
