I’ll throw out a “fucking kill me” or an “I’d rather be dead” now and again, but I’ve never contemplated suicide. Context is key. I won’t say something like that around a truly bad situation, but if I get a paper cut, I may suggest that taking my life is a better situation. I don’t do it often and it’s only around people that know me well enough to know that I have a dark sense of humor and that I’m not serious.
We have a plastic scraper that gets anything off with a bit of water. Then I hit it with a rough sponge and water, towel dry, then stovetop dry. While still hot, I like to put a thin layer of Crisco on all surfaces with a paper towel and wipe any excess off. Having a well seasoned pan, warming up before cooking, and using enough fat or oil makes cleaning and maintaining a lot easier.
My mom once left her Amazon account logged in and open on her computer. My sibling and I searched for a bunch of sex toys to mess with the ad suggestions. That was funny, but I’d never buy my mother a dildo and it would be really weird if she bought me a Fleshlight.
Not at all. I would have had it done at 18 in hindsight, but did it in my later 20s. It was bar none the best $50 I’ve ever spent. I’ve known my entire life that I didn’t want to be a parent, and for me that feeling only compounded as I got older. Couple that with the current world situation and local political climate and uncertainty, and it reaffirms my choice.
Technically it is reversible, but I would consider a permanent fix. Regardless, wrap your dick because vasectomies don’t block STDs.
After it was done, instead of a baby shower, we threw a Balls Voyage party and my best friends and siblings all played yard games, grilled and drank. We popped a gender reveal balloon filled with dollar sign confetti. It was a blast.
I’ve blocked a couple bots that post seemingly every article from specific sites. It’s too bad because some of those articles were worth reading, but it was too much in my home feed, so they’re gone.
The first time I setup Arch from scratch (no archinstall) it took me about 7 hours to get a working desktop environment. A lot of that was figuring what specifics I wanted, like boot loader and desktop environment. If you aren’t already familiar with Linux architecture, the kernel, and basic terminal commands, you will be spending a lot of time on the Arch wiki. If you do already have a decent understanding of these concepts, then you will also spend a lot of time on Arch wiki.
Honestly, based on this response from you, Arch isn’t this distro for you. It’s work to setup, it’s work to configure, and it’s work to maintain. I jumped straight in myself with basically no Linux experience but about a decade of experience as a sys admin and power user for Windows. It’s been a couple of years and I have no desire to even branch out because I enjoy the tinkering and resources.
I have an Nvidia GPU and the first 6 months I had issues, but there have significant improvements and now I almost never have any GPU related.
An example of needing to fiddle with things, I couldn’t get audio to pass through my HDMI the other day when hooking my laptop up to a TV. I had to install a couple missing packages and then I was able to see the HDMI option in my sound settings, so then I could sell that as my output. Arch won’t ever tell you what you need, it just won’t work, so you have to read and figure it out yourself. Fortunately, the community is huge and the Arch wiki is fantastic. There are some shitty neck beards that like to gate keep, but ignore them and your experience will be better.
I always add some soy lecithin in to my batch. Doesn’t help with smell, but I think it acts like a binder to improve the infusion.
I’ve heard of people making firecrackers, where it’s just sprinkled on say a cracker with cream cheese. I’ve heard raw it can lead to some digestive distress or gassiness, but I’ve never tried. I always have done a water soak for a couple of days to clean it before any infusions.
I have an anova sous vide. I put coconut oil and the bud in a mason jar, finger tight the lid, set at a temp (I forgot what, it’s been a while) and come shake and burp it frequently. I already had the sous vide, so that was no cost to me, but I don’t know that there’s a better option out there either than maybe a magic butter machine.
I think basic sous vide machine can be had relatively cheap now. It’s good for this, but great for food.
I assume there is a finite amount of THC that an oil or fat (I use coconut oil) can hold. I don’t know if multiple infusions will stack, or if a weak input will mean lower output regardless of what the substance can hold. I probably have a pound of AVB or so. I haven’t made anything for at l ast a year, and I go through about an ounce per month. I’m on a t break right now mostly because I have spent my excess funds on vacations, so budget wise I’ve got to get solvent again. Inadvertently, it keeps me from spending too much of weed. If I lived in a legal state it would be half what I pay, and I’ve got a good plug at $100 for a half. Usually quality is solid, but sometimes it’s a bit weak.
Seems a bit pricey, but I’m sure it’s effective. A bottle of iso will get me two or three cleans of two mouthpieces and the capsules, and it costs less than $5. There was the upfront for the ultrasonic which I think was around $80, but I also use it for other things outside of just by vape cleaning, like tools and stuff. Since I put my stuff in a baggie filled with the iso, and then put that in water, I don’t have any cross contamination.
I usually sit at 191c, so not a full extraction, but it doesn’t leave a ton left. I prefer to get the bigger boost up front rather than boosting the edibles later. Still, I should take what I’ve got, wash it, and infused it. Maybe just do multiple batches through the same oil and try to bump the total extraction. I’m not sure if it works linearly doing multiple infusions, but with just one it mainly ends in some sub par cookies that make me a little sleepy.
The first couple times I cleaned, I did that. It never seemed to effectively get all the resin out of the corners. My ultrasonic cleaner will also heat the water, therefore heating the iso, doubling the effectiveness. The actual ultrasonic part means I don’t need to do any extra clean up and only takes 6 minutes. I run twice just to make sure though. The worst part of the whole process is 1. The initial disassemble because I don’t clean frequently enough and it’s a sticky mess, and 2. Drying everything off when I’m done so I can use it and getting antsy for the first super clean bowl.
The AVB can be made into infused oils too to stretch it further. It may not be worth the effort, but it’s an option. I have so much saved up because I haven’t made anything in a while. The high is notably less, but it’s nice for a night cap. It’s more of a sleepy high than anything.
Also a Mighty user. It’s so much better than combustion. The smell is significantly less both in the surroundings and on your person. It’s more efficient, and with capsules, you can preload a bunch and be ready to load and go on a whim.
Manual cleaning is a pain, but it’s extremely simple if you get an ultrasonic cleaner. Disassemble the mouth piece, put it in a baggie covering completely in rubbing alcohol, let it run through the ultrasonic cleaner for less than 10 minutes, rinse and enjoy.
Jewelry ultrasonics can be purchased cheap. I went with a larger harbour freight unit and to me that was worth it. It’s also great for cleaning glass pipes too for the times you may want to rip it old school.
As a ServiceNow dev/admin, I support this opinion so hard.
You could do it to. Be the change you want to see, or be a dick. Your choice I guess.
Or OP is spreading the word to get it out there. Now it’s got eyes on it thanks to OPs work.
Jesus. Some of you people just want to shit on someone for doing a good thing for no reason. Have you put in a pull request yet or are you just showing your dark side on top of being a dick to OP who did something good?
I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.
Hand guns are difficult to be accurate with if you’ve never shot one, and still not easy if you have. Nobody is going to fire one for the first time and be good at it, but within 10-15’ the difference is probably just if the shot was lethal or not. Anything with a longer barrel like a shotgun or rifle, as long as you’re pointing in the general direction it’s as simple as pulling the trigger. The recoil is easier to deal with and it’s easier to aim. Loading could take a second to figure out, but that’s something that can be worked out before ever pulling the trigger.
I think the fact that most school shootings don’t end up with dozens of kills is because it’s not super easy to be skilled with all aspects of a firearm, but it’s easy enough for quick damage.
