I'm gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you're experiencing something close to a manic episode.

When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?

Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?

How long have you been feeling like this?

Do you have someone you can communicate the way you're feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?

Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you're probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you're probably not God.

Don't worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it's likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what's going on.

The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I'm feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:

"This too shall pass", it's a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.

Those are good photos for using a phone and binoculars !

Does your partners camera have removable/interchangeable lenses?

If you did buy a cheap DSLR/Mirrorless camera (personally I'd also recommend Canon, but that's because it's what I use), then look into geting a lens mount adaptor for any old film camera lenses you may have, or look for lenses at charity shops/eBay/flea markets.

It's a very cosy effective way to get into the hobby, it takes a little bit of practice for getting used to adjusting the settings/focus etc, but nothing too difficult. And old lenses can give some beautiful effects on the images; Japanese lenses are near identical, old soviet lenses give a beautiful patena.

Another final point to consider is Mirrorless cameras are so much lighter than older DSLRs, to the extent that I carry my camera so much more after buying a Mirrorless than I ever did with a DSLR, OTOH if it's just for setting up somewhere birdwatching, weight shouldn't matter so much.

You can also get lens mount adaptors to fit onto telescope/microscope eye pieces

What is your standard dose?

And out of curiosity are you American?

For some reason Americans seem to be way more adverse to having generic versions of medications, I don't know if it's to do with how the FDA does things, or to do with the amount of medication advertising there, but in the UK no-one typically cares if a medication is generic as long as delivery mechanism and dose are the same.

So I'll almost certainly get a different brand of sertraline each month, and a different brand of dexamphetamine. The only medication which is brand name that I get is Elvanse, but even then that's produced by different manufacturers but branded all the same, just under licence from the patent owner.

Tbh the hypothermia sounds like vasoconstriction and/or possibly low blood sugar.

The vasoconstriction can be caused by the higher dose, especially if you consume caffeine.

I had to quit coffee for 8 months due to the horrible vasoconstriction/chills I'd get with it, after those 8 months I eventually started drinking tea, without getting chills anywhere near as much, now when I do it's an indicator that I need food, especially if my hands have a slight jitter.

In all honestly higher doses of methylphenidate can leave you feeling somewhat depersonalised/disassociated, even changes in dose-timings can cause it, taking more smaller doses can also change the methylphenidate/blood concentration which you may be subconsciously picking up on...

Other things that can throw blood concentrations off: Grapefruit (fruit or juice) Vitamin C Excessive coffee/soft drinks

Incidentally, IIRC one of, if not the only proven cure for the hiccups is a prostate massage, now normally it's the person with the hiccups who gets massaged, as opposed to being the masseur...

Though I have no idea if that technique works for women as well, or if it's just men who have that awkwardly placed off switch

I've run into this problem also with both a 2.4Ghz mouse and a 2.4Ghz mouse and keyboard combo, never really quite realised that it was to do with the hub, but had clocked that an extension lead corrects it for some reason!

Thank for pointing this out as it means I actually know to put the dongles on extension leads, I always thought it was something to do with a weird grounding issue on a cheap hub or something

People always focus on the "Lady jerks off dolphin", part of the story, not the 'Noted Psychoanalyist and developer of the first sensory deprivation chamber has employee jerk off dolphin as part of a research programme that was funded to see if human-dolphin communication was possible, whilst high on LSD'

John C Lilly really fuckin liked dolphins😅

I'm really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue...

Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive...

Genuinely don't remember how I did it... I want to say something to do with symlinks...

I assume you've come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

Huh, I've had the exact thing you describe from handling pumpkin vines before (which were incidently grown on a wire floating in the air)

Other suggestions for OP to possibly grow; grape vine, passion fruit, kiwi berry.

Ipomoea flowers as well!

You're in the right place, but it may be a little bit slow going at first, also check out any of the normal trees groups as they'll likely be a bit more active and will still be friendly towards vape ents!

If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha

I don't know much about it, it's the only piece I've got that is made from two distinct layers of glass.
