    Firefly 2 (cool blue) Save $80 over new

    Purchased June 1, 2016. I only used it about six weeks. There's a tiny cloud at the bottom of the bowl where I combusted a couple of times. You'll combust too, so you're not giving up much compared to brand new. New, this was $330, I'll sell it to you in the original packaging and with all...

    In this regard, I think you'll find that 85% of the people think like me. Wouldn't Johnson need a lot of FRIENDS who are currently members of the two major parties to accomplish something like what you describe? How will he make those friends in 60 days? FiveThirtyEight gives Johnson an 8.6%...

    Okay, first of all, he DOESN'T have a legitimate shot at winning. Or at any rate his chances are only 9-10% better than yours and mine. Second, but somewhat more important, if you'll notice, Hillary Clinton wasn't all that disliked until the Republican Nasty Machine realized a that Obama...

    I completely agree with you, but I'd never vote for a third party candidate in a two-party system in the first place. If you want to make a statement, buy a t-shirt. I do like Johnson as a person though, and I compare his honesty about this with Sarah Palin who would always try to fake her way...

    I think it's a good thing that Assange is making it clear to the world that he has an anti-Clinton bias, and as the Washington Post points out, a lot of his disclosures seem to benefit Russia. I'm glad that he does so in plenty of time for people to start questioning his goals and collaborators.

    I don't understand how you have a non-partisan discussion when one side puts out DAILY obvious falsehoods and expects the public not to notice the lie part, only the malicious intent. Hillary Clinton is the founder of ISIS? Seriously?

    I don't, and your point is well taken, but I still think the public at large, or at least the Democrats and independents can be faulted. Can you imagine what the Republicans would be saying if Hillary Clinton, or any Democrat really, were to suddenly be exposed as having significant connections...

    Yeah... And I know that lying is real, real, naughty and all, but I really wonder who among us could do any better than the Clinton's have over the last 25 years or so. I mean, the Clintons are sort of like cannabis in a way (remember cannabis?) in that they've been trying to pin something on...

    Funny, after discussing Paul Manafort's Russian connection here yesterday (or was it the day before?) I figured that would be the lead story on the network news. They didn't even mention it, reminding me once again that I don't even come close to understanding the American electorate.

    Well, I've been a Democrat all my life, but so has my family. Had I ever had the slightest inclination to change parties, it would have been about as big a deal for my Democratic family as I'm sure it was for the Rodhams. I expect it took a certain amount of courage. I think she was about 21...

    Somehow I think Hillary changing parties once in the 1960's isn't quite the same as Trump changing parties in 2009.

    I got the impression that Trump made similar deals with his ex-rivals, specifically Ben Carson and the newly housebroken Chris Christie. Probably in return for cabinet positions, which of course will never be forthcoming.

    I noticed that and, yeah, I'll bet he's been waiting for the opportunity, it looks like he's not allowed to say even the slightest negative thing about Trump.

    I don't remember an election where people didn't complain about the lack of choice they were given. That's what they said in 2000. Can you imagine how things would be different if Al Gore had become president? I think we can be pretty certain that we wouldn't have launched a war against Iraq...

    Eating ABV - trip report.

    And speaking of that 1.5 g.: The other day I decided to experiment with edibilizing ABV. I guess my first mistake was in vaping a bit before I did my calculations, because while your results may vary, I find that cannabis and mathematics should not be combined. That's why I wound up eating 5...

    Eating ABV - trip report.

    While waiting for the 1.5 g of ABV I had for breakfast to take effect, I've come up with a question: The other day I read a short piece somewhere that seemed to suggest that making infusions with ABV was "more efficient" than simply eating the stuff first. Can anyone confirm or deny?

    ...But it's a wonderful way to get something off your chest. So fuck football, a bone-headed game involving numbers bumping into one another. Americans need to be less violent. How about if we replace football with spin the bottle?
