  • I get what you’re trying to say, but that still isn’t exactly accurate.

    If you measure the herb before and after, it’ll give you the total of evaporated difference, but this difference will not reflect the actual THC/CBD consumed, you’ve got terpenes and other volatile compound in there as well, adding weight.

    Nor does it account for losses due to condensation on the inside of the vape.

    If you know how much it your herb is THC/CBD, then you estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

    Also now that I’ve written this out, I realise how “Well actually…” this is; my bad.

    Love the username btw, what vape do you use if you don’t mind my asking?






  • Admittedly, I don’t take the train or bus anywhere near as much as I used to, but when I did there were always poster adverts about being respectful towards other riders and staff. Have those gone away, or is it that there is another influence supplanting that messaging?

    Perhaps phones being much more engaging that people actually spend a lot less time reading the PSAs and adverts around them?

    In a weirdly similar way, I remember pre COVID there used to be so many more drivers that would be blasting music with their windows down that it rarely deserved a second thought. It’s much more rare to hear it nowadays, to the extent that when I do, it seems so much more obnoxious.




  • My mum’s a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it’s place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

    The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don’t want to try and engage with the therapy.

    Just something to think about









  • My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?

    The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.

    The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.

    Your take of “hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render” is asinine at best.

    Lots of these companies didn’t do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.

    Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.

    I took wouldn’t want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.


  • Last November, the allotments at the bottom of my hill flooded for the first time since I arrived 4 years ago, this year it’s arrived in October.

    Last year it wasn’t until March until they were walkable. I wonder how long it will be this year.

    It got to about 4ft last time and seemingly poisoned the land as no-ones crops grew this year. Interestingly plums and pears did pretty well.


  • If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it’s used as the glaze!

    It’s known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.

    I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather’s childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate
