The conversation around “tankies” reminds me heavily of “neolibs” - loosely defined in the minds of the folks discussing them. Basically a catch-all term for your own idea of what a liberal outgroup should be.

My gf told me that people are suspicious of me because I don’t use regular social media :(

Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont.

More than the number of states with all buildings shorter than 200ft (3).

Less than the number of states that border 5 other states (5).

It isn’t just money that can solve your problem though, it takes effort too. No matter how much money you have at the very least you still have to use your mouth to speak to get what you want.

The app I use (“Boost”) made it extremely easy, it’s pretty much just as easy to use as reddit or instagram I would say - maybe even easier.

Hell yeah! I’m happy to hear the flavor stayed true.

Bottle tech is a style of pressing the rosin where you fold in the corners of the bag and then pack it vertically, resulting in a column which you then press into a circular puck. It can increase yields - this is a good guide for how to fold the bag. Some people like to take this even further and use “chottle” tech, where the top and bottom are open - I haven’t tried that as I worry it would get more plant particulate in the product. “Pillow” tech is just packing the bag regularly.

I don’t press hash so I don’t know if bottle tech would be a good idea in that situation. Maybe not if you are wanting to double bag.

What sort of bags did you use to make the bubble hash?

How did you refine the original hash that made this?

Your earlier post indicates you pressed with a 25u bag. Bottle tech? Pillow? What temp? What was the yield on the press? Did you try dabbing any of the rosin pre decarb?

I used to think that it was beneficial to prevent anaerobic bacteria from infecting the wound, since exposure to oxygen would limit their growth. My understanding of this is evolving, but it seems that some of the time it is true that a wound needs to “breathe” but that doesn’t mean it should be uncovered.

This article makes it clear that sometimes an “occlusive” bandage (one that completely prevents air/water transfer) is not right, in this case focusing on wounds with impaired circulation.

This article from a bandage manufacturer makes it clear that most of the time occlusive bandages are better, but there are different extents of occlusivity, and the bandage should be matched to the application.

TIL about light echoes.

Apparently by observing the light echoes from the supernova that made Cassiopeia A researchers were able to detect supernova asymmetry for the first time!

Washington was a pretty bad president if you were Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois).

Clint’s Reptiles: He does great videos covering phylogeny as well as pet scores for individual species.

Professor Dave Explains: A huge variety of content explaining science, my favorites so far are on phylogeny.

Mothlight Media: Videos on evolution of modern and extinct species. One of my favorites!!

Others mentioned PBS Eons, you would most definitely like it.

Great article, but I’m surprised it didn’t end with them saying they planned to follow up with the indigenous people and use their knowledge to help fill in the gaps…

Yet another example of western science thinking we have to reinvent the wheel - the person they interviewed said that all these “new” species were already known to the locals. Obviously we just needed to ask.

Here are some reasons I can think of:

1. This would be an expensive project if it was large scale
2. This would likely be illegal and thus any large operation would carry high risk of problems with the law
3. A very small portion of the seeds would survive without proper care

Agreed. There’s a lot of stuff that reminds me of teeth in this one, maybe that’s why?

From the article:

“The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for between two and three hours twice a week over 10 weeks. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks. The first two involved judging the size or orientation of objects. The third involved navigating virtual mazes, which participants moved through with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.”

https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/26/14/4113 In this paper it seems to suggest that you would be fine decarbing up to 135°C (or 275°F) but at that temp you would only want to decarb for ~15 minutes (based on figure 8).

Based on figure 7, decarbing at 115°C (or 240°F) for 30 minutes would convert just around half of your THC-A to THC, so 60 minutes would convert around 75%. Most places recommend something around this level because it is easier to not mess up 30-60 minutes than to not mess up not more than 15 minutes, and you don’t need to convert ALL of it in order to get a functional product.

Disclaimer: I have relatively little experience making edibles.

I wonder if the stars were brighter in the painting when it was new or if they come across more strongly in person or something… It would be an awful lot of effort to make such an accurate night sky and then not make it visible.

And if the comet is what the painting is celebrating, why not make that brighter too?

My partner says this almost looks like a long exposure aerial view of a city at night, like how there would be trails of headlights and brake lights.

I feel like the restricted use of color in this one really draws my eyes to the center. Nice work!!

Loving this one!!
