You wait.
Cannabis overdose results in illness but never death. You wait for your body to metabolize it. The LD50 is high enough where medical professionals don’t consider it a risk at all.

- Comment on Upstate NY creativity. 2 weeks ago:
That right there belongs to scrapper bob.
scrapper bob always has a rusted, beat up, 20 year old pickup, often pulling a dump trailer of the same vintage.
scrapper bob always has gates, boards, and other flat objects in his truck and trailer to make cargo walls, so scrap can be piled sky high with no proper tie downs.
scrapper bob is often seen creeping through neighborhoods looking for curbside toilets and sinks to shatter to take just the metal.
Scrapper bob does not give a fuck.

It’s not the LED but the cheap crap components used in the controller.
- Comment on Who shops at small businesses? 3 weeks ago:
I try to buy local if I can, but like you say, it’s not always possible, and often comes with an attractive price tag.
The things that I feel matter are supporting local farms and food markets, as well as local businesses. I’d rather support my local dentist than a national chain. I’d rather buy my veg from the Saturday farmers market than from the grocery store, when able. Keeping the money local does play a part in maintaining the local economy. Most of our purchases wind up shipping money out of our community, so I try where I can to plug the leak.
I’m also a small business, so it’s important to show my support for others.

Have you tried using the steam mobile app? I think that has some advanced recovery options. Unsure if you can change the registered email that way, but might be worth a shot.

Diesels that run CNG/Prop run it WITH the Diesel as an additive/power boost/starter aid. It is not a replacement fuel.
Propane/CNG injection is done through the intake manifold, not the injectors/fuel system. A diesel cannot and will not run solely on sparkable fuel.
- Comment on ✅✅✅ 3 months ago:
Old mechanical injection diesels use the same principles of physics as the new ones do, just with electronic timing and fuel injection. I mean, the engine may on this stuff at least once. For some length of time. You can also do pretty much anything at least once. It’s the consequences that are the issue. You’re just doing the damage slower by diluting the fuel that doesn’t belong.

It even makes my regular glasses slip down all the time. Some frames/pairs are better than others, but it’s hard to escape.
- Comment on ✅✅✅ 3 months ago:
No they won’t, unless they’re built with a gasoline based engine, which almost no one orders, because the mileage to fuel ratio, cost, and power are terrible for OTR hauls.
Diesels will run on lots of less refined oils using only the heat of compression, like kerosene and fuel oil, as well as being able to run on their own oil (diesel runaway). However CNG, Propane, Gasoline, and other commonly sparked fuels will, in very short order, catastrophically destroy your diesel engine because they detonate at much lower compression than diesels require.
Furthermore, you’d ruin your high pressure fuel pump as gasoline doesn’t have the required lubricity. The injectors would probably be fine, but your pump and your cylinders/pistons/crank/rods/mains would be having extremely bad days.

- Comment on Is a monocle uncomfortable to wear? 3 months ago:
I’ve used jeweler’s eye loupes for extensive periods. They’re not terrible to hold in place unless you’re sweaty. If it’s too small it can become hard, but it generally rests in your eye well and is held in with friction rather than muscles. I do have a set that clip to my glasses now, which I need as I’ve gotten older. Those are easy.
People who only need correction in one eye get glasses with a prescription in one eye, and a plano lens in the other, which is just a clear lens with no correction or adjustments.
