Awareness of dry herb extractors was even less back in 2015, when Katt was riffing about some black box with knobs. Good endorsement for herb heaters, TEDs ... Is this a TED Talk?


Edit: and now for something completely different,
couldn't resist,
Before netflix binge watching, some losers like myself would repeatedly see films in theaters, drinking and sparking in lot

I will be spanked by mods soon, given my obsessive, repetitive posts


More random nonsense from the past:

Was just thinking about all those kids who have been stuck at home bored with all that time on their hands and the fact that most folks won't answer an incoming phone call with a phone number they don't know anymore.

Poor kids.....it was the perfect time for calling people with things like "Is your refrigerator running? Well you better catch it".

That sucks. I was part of the last generation to go through middle and high school without social media and smartphones. I remember researching a list of every teacher's phone number before sleepovers. It was just good clean fun.

I was "thermally extracting terpenes" outside today :haw: and a brown paper wasp parks up along side of me... "What's up Dude? You seem chill" I say. I take a big lung full from a fresh packed bowl in the TM. I hold the vapor and look at her. She looks at me too, turning slightly to look at me straight on. Upon exhale the wind shifts :evil: and vapor pours around miss wasp. She jitters her wings a few times and flys away. As she makes off across the lawn she slowly dips and disappears into the grass like a airplane running out of fuel, making a crash landing. :ninja: Did I get a hornet high? Is that even possible?

Fnck this herb is good.... :peace::brow:

We've all seen the spider web pictures of spiders exposed to drugs, but, as The Buds asks, what about wasps?

I....think....they are saying "no". But, your mileage may vary.

Cannabinoid receptors in invertebrates
We hypothesize that cannabinoid receptors evolved in the last common ancestor of bilaterians, with secondary loss occurring in insects and other clades. Conflicting data regarding Cnidarians precludes hypotheses regarding the last common ancestor of eumetazoans.

If I were a HVAC installer doing a swap out.... I would check to make sure the air supply/output coming off the unit didn't have two holes in it that even a less than handy schmuck like me could plainly SEE and FEEL simply by looking at it.

Especially if I were going to beg for a stellar Google review on the way out.......Glad I waited on that review.

Had a plumber come out for some work and, when the final contract was left, there was a clause saying I had to jump through some hoops (Like make an actual telephone call and talk with the owner.) before I left anything but the most positive review possible. Other conditions as well. Of course, I replied immediately that they can go pound sand and they should probably find a new lawyer because the one who wrote the contract couldn't law his way out of a paper bag.

In looking to find out exactly how far the courts are willing to go in enforcing such disparagement clauses in contracts in my state, I found something interesting. Such clauses are illegal as "contrary to public policy" and are void. There's also a private prosecution portion that might get me $10K if the clause was willful. In an amazing coincidence, small claims here have a limit of $10K.

When the CDC announced that those who are fully vaccinated don't have to wear masks I was elated. My wife and I had gotten our first Pfizer shot the same day our age group became eligible, got our second shot as scheduled and had been doubling up on masks since we first heard the recommendation.

I wasn't sure how quickly businesses would adapt the new guideline so when I went grocery shopping (I go to 3 stores for groceries to take advantage of each store's sales) I kept a mask with me. Each store had the same requirement..... IF YOU'RE NOT VACCINATED.... MASKS ARE REQUIRED otherwise you do you.

For the first time in a long, long time I wasn't worrying about my distancing / masks or anyone else's masks/distancing and it felt like a huge stressful weight had been lifted while I shopped. I was smiling at people and many were smiling back.

The following day my wife and her BFF met in our house for the first time in awhile. Her BFF was fully vaxed. The BFF has had serious health issues for years, she was in the highest at risk group and her and her family had done everything they could to keep her safe.

When the covid topic came up in conversation I expressed my joy at being able to shop without the worry......the BFF said she was happy as well but a few days back was the first time she walked into a store without her mask and when someone without a mask came within 6 feet......she had an anxiety attack and had to leave the store.

Some people are going to immediately jump on the happy train and some will require more time.......

An advertisement for life insurance a while back said, "In order to give you a quote, all we need is your age, and your smoker status........".
So those are the only two things that they require to calculate when you are likely to pass away!
It don't matter if you do stunts, clean out nuclear reactors, parachute jump or have rockets, spinning knives or motorcycles, no, just want to know if you smoke!!

The thought will stay with me forever.
Give yourselves a pat on the back for at least doing the vaporizer thing!

-----

When I go shopping now, I'm so unfamiliar with it and I've had such a vape session the night before that I sometimes have to check around to see if I'm correct in actually wearing a mask, and that this thing wasn't just a mad dream I had.
And everyone's going to say why the fuck are you wearing that on your face in here for???!!

-------

I did my best to completely avoid PG intake from ecig style vaping for all the years, and my doctor just injected some into my bloodstream the other week as part of that vaccine!
I'm sure that's what some of the discomfort was from, I know I once acknowledged that my own illness used to feel like my blood had been replaced with antifreeze, battery acid, or brake fluid!

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
You have to imagine the shape of the letter H on the side of the column. Dead center is neutral. So pulling the lever towards you and down is first gear. These gears are cut flat so even when engaging the clutch, you can't just throw it in first until you're stopped. Up, over, and up again is second, then straight down to third. People get themselves into trouble, thinking first to second is a diagonal motion. Cheating can leave you on the side of the road. It's a smooth, but three step motion going into second.

BTW, from neutral, pulling towards you and up is reverse.
