- Comment on What are some drugs you think will make a comeback like qualewds or thai sticks or window pane? Does history always repeats itself apply to drugs? 2 hours ago:
Knockoff ludes are popular south of the equator. Africa, Southeast Asia. No one makes a legitimate Quaalude anymore, so it’s all illicit production, mostly in India, iirc.

- Comment on If you were in Jail would you stick withe bible or be interest in other religions? 1 day ago:
A US state is currently trying to restrict what books a prisoner can have. Hasn’t passed yet, as far as I know, but I’m guessing that’s the genesis of this particular dubious question.
- Comment on If you were in Jail would you stick withe bible or be interest in other religions? 1 day ago:
I have zero interest in the Bible beyond the initial curiosity that led me to read it 30 years ago. Once was enough.
If the only books available to me are the texts of world religions, give me the myths and sagas of the Nordic peoples. At least they invented the modern novel and have stuff that’s entertaining to read.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 3 days ago:
Yeah, don’t get me wrong, they’re a great bit of kit for certain purposes. There are some shots that are easily 50% simpler to get having a drone.
But those specific instances are still so far between that unless your photo business is built around selling those shots to people, its just an unnecessary extravagance.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 3 days ago:
I’m a professional photographer. I regularly carry 2 or 3 camera bodies when working that probably cost 5 of your drone.
I still have zero need for my own drone. That’s a very specific style of photography with a small community of enthusiasts.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 3 days ago:
Unless you’re using it for a specific purpose (surveying, content creation, videography) they’re still a niche product that most average consumers have never come into contact with, except in stuff they watch, so naturally they’ll be curious.
Don’t let what the internet tells you about people influence your expectations without first testing them in the real world. Life depicted online is not an accurate representation.
- Comment on When did Saturday Night Live get so cringe? 4 days ago:
Exactly. It’s no secret that they spend all week pitching, writing, and polishing their sketches. The cast talk about it all the time.

Are there also some clouds out there you’re keen to go shake your fist at?
Dude has a shelf of awards, nominations for two Oscars, supported in the Running Man remake for the braindead crowd, and is playing Joe Jackson in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic.
- Comment on How did the gun buy back program work did you get a gift card or cash or something? How effective was this? Did this even make a dimple in crime? 5 days ago:
The only thing any of the gun buybacks I’ve been to in the Northeast ever accomplished was letting collector’s know where they could buy guns for cheap. The state never offers full value, it’s always like, $100 and a gift card, so collector’s would just go up and down the line offering more than the government. I picked up my shotgun and Remington 700 cheap as hell out of a gun buyback line.
- Comment on How did Greek or Roman choose their gods besides the big name ones? I mean did they have a god of shoes, god who relieves constapation, or one for there squeaky door? 5 days ago:
This includes such high profile gods and goddesses as Devera, who blessed the brooms used to sweep temples, Laverna, goddess of charlatans and theives, Lua, who specifically existed to have weapons captured in war sacrificed to her, *Picus, an Italian god of woodpeckers, or Salus, goddess of specifically the welfare of people living in the city of Rome.
How much more specific and unknown do you want to get? There are plenty of surviving deities from the Roman era who have no surviving function that we know of.

You expect a guy who lied to get out of military service to have balls? The only distinguishing feature of our rapist in chief’s guts is the eye-wateringly bright color of yellow they are.
- Comment on A handy reference guide for you 1 week ago:
I love watching the carpenter bees at my house. The ones that are on patrol follow the most exact flight patterns, it’s crazy. They always fly the same narrow lane, same height, stop and hover at the same spot for the same length of time. It’s amazing to watch.
- Comment on How come on TV I can Oh God with no censor. I can say dammit and no censor. But if I put them both together and say GodDammit one of the words will be censored? 1 week ago:
I said laws in general, not TV censorship.
We’ve got plenty of issues in the US, but let’s not pretend the UK is a bastion of freedom in the world.
I can still wear a “From the River to the Sea” shirt in the US.
- Comment on How come on TV I can Oh God with no censor. I can say dammit and no censor. But if I put them both together and say GodDammit one of the words will be censored? 1 week ago:
Because “goddamnit” is a blasphemy, and the vast majority of laws in the world were written by religious zealots of one stripe or another.
Not really logical, but that’s humanity for you.

To explain: weed needs to be converted into a form your body can use to get high. In flower and concentrates, those compounds are expressed by heating to combustion temp. In edibles, the conversion is done during the cooking process. You’d be putting something that needs to be BURNED into your 98.6° system. All its going to do is sit in your bloodstream like a solid lump of tar, block shit, and cause an infection.
Like expecting your Lambo’s engine to be fine just pouring heavy crude into it.

- Comment on Are defense attorneys ‘good people’? 2 weeks ago:
The fact that your moral line isn’t that people are innocent until proven guilty, and that all people deserve the impartial application of justice and due process is worrying, to say the least.
Maybe take some time for introspection.

- Comment on Utroba Cave in Bulgaria 2 weeks ago:
Researchers believe that the entrance to the cave was a slit, which was then widened by humans. The entrance to the cave is 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall and 2.50 m (8.2 ft) wide and inside the cave there is a 1.3 m (4.3 ft)-tall altar which has been carved.

- Comment on Is there a medicine that has the same active ingredients as NyQuil without being so large? 2 weeks ago:
If they’re asking, they’re expecting an answer, which impresses upon us at least a minimal responsibility to try and figure out what they mean, right?
What’s your solution? “I don’t understand the question, so screw this guy.”?
- Comment on Is there a medicine that has the same active ingredients as NyQuil without being so large? 2 weeks ago:
It would really help people answering if you explain what you mean.
Large how?
If you mean the NyQuil pill size…you DO realize you can buy liquid NyQuil that you just toss back a shot of, right?

Are you really arguing to include a disease in normal weight loss mechanisms?
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 weeks ago:
Please point to another mechanism by which weight is lost.
Proper intake of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients is above the scope of what we’re discussing.
Proper nutrition is absolutely able to be maintained at a caloric level that would facilitate weight loss.
Stop arguing in bad faith.
- Comment on Nutritional Hexes 2 weeks ago:
Are you not aware of what “simplest” means?
Did I say that measuring calories is the end-all, be-all of nutrition and dietary knowledge?
Don’t put words in my mouth.
