    EVO - Underdog - Volcano - Why I'm still using the Volcano (and not the others)

    As I mentioned in the original comparison: I am a very lazy person. The other night I was chatting with someone online and I remarked that it was time to clean out the bowl on the Volcano but I was too lazy to do so. Then I remembered that "cleaning the bowl" on the Volcano means tipping the ABV...

    Bit off more than I could chew...

    I like vaping and I like gaming. I'm also very, VERY lazy. When I use my volcano I load up way too much ground herb and fill up a balloon or five depending on how I'm feeling. Then I save my herb in the chamber for later. A filled chamber can last me for a week and a half this way. The other...

    Van Morrison Vs. Bob Dylan

    Dylan gets me thinking, but Van gets me feeling. I'd highly recommend listening to some of his non-singles: "Madame George", "Sweet Thing", "And It Stoned Me", etc.

    EVO - Underdog - Volcano - A few more thoughts about the Volcano...

    After spending a few more days with the Volcano I wanted to post a few thoughts. Mainly, I wanted to share some solo aspects of this vape that surprised me after reading many reviews: 1) You can load tiny amounts in the bowl - the efficiency can be comparable to a log vape with similar load...

    EVO - Underdog - Volcano

    As my Purple Days began rattling itself to death I decided to buy a new desktop vaporizer. Thus began my search for the ideal vaporizer for me. I wound up owning three very different vaporizers and I thought someone somewhere might find it helpful to have a comparison. I won't go into...

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    I don't think it's necessarily about the money. If a skin head group exhibited the watercolors of Adolf Hitler for free I wouldn't want to go out of personal distaste for the artist. Would the quality of the work matter? No. However, I'm not sure if I'd feel so certain about someone who was...

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    Bill Cosby's a good example, also makes me think of Louis CK. Both comedians I thought were very funny and talented (also both worked to help others off-stage) but now I'm not sure I can support what they do.

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    This is exactly what I'm trying to get at. If you're a big fan of "Rock and Roll, Parts 1 and 2" do you still shout "hey!" knowing what he's done? (Total aside: has anyone who's not a security guard ever listened to this song while sober?)

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    Ended up reading some of the critiques of Sounes book and learned a lot more about Lou Reed. Thanks for the heads up!

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    Maybe it was unfair to call Joni Mitchell a shitty person. She does have a record of going on angry tirades and has been accused of being physically abusive in the past. That probably doesn't qualify her as shitty, though. http://jonimitchell.com/library/print.cfm?id=73...

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    This is all true. Although in some ways that "minefield" has always been there. Pregnant, punk, etc. there's many examples of terms we use now that we couldn't use before. The minefield is more of a mined shipping route except none of the mines are anchored down.

    Shitty people who create cool stuff

    I was listening to The Velvet Underground & Nico this morning and it got me thinking about shitty people who create cool stuff. Lou Reed Roman Polanski Joni Mitchell (etc, etc. this could easily turn into a VERY long list...) Can you separate the artist from the opus? Or must they always be...

    ***Gamers*** What are you playing?

    Been playing Destiny 2 since beta but I'm getting burned out on it. I'm so sick of the inventory management! I just want to shoot aliens in the face and take in the wonderful soundtrack. Any recommendations for a casual fps for PS4 with a good soundtrack? Thinking of finally living like it's...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    You accuse me of being disingenuous. Then you assume I would cherry pick statistics to bolster my arguments. Then you cherry pick statistics to bolster your own. I know you are more thoughtful than this.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Consensus can often be called law, but law is seldom consensus. We experience levels of liberty everyday, and the effects of firearm harm as well. One can be measured defined objectively, the other can not. I won't say that the merits of personal freedom should be dismissed but cultural values...

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Agreed. However, before we can elect harms as supposed we need to come to a consensus based on verifiable fact, not optimistic ideals. The philosophical concept of personal freedom should not trump the hard statistics of firearm harm to form public policy.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    Considering the potential for harm: I don't think firearm use and cannabis use are comparable.

    WTF Is Wrong With America And Gun Control?

    It's worked well for many things, from Quaaludes to hand grenades. Maybe not so well for other things, though.
