How Not to Do Brownies

shagen454 says...

Yeah, that doesn't sound like weed. No doubt, edibles can be powerful and I've definitely eaten some high doses that resulted in near inability to move & audio hallucinations/distortions. But, this sounds like he went through what they call ego-death, which is reliably found in moderate to high doses of psychedelics - "geometries from other Universes", in the void remembering that you had only dreamed that you were a human alongside extreme time dilation that feel infinite or like an eternity - are dead giveaways (pardon the pun). DMT is the best, of course. Get's one there in seconds and back in 10 minutes... instead of hours and hours....

Fear No Weevil: Taking on the World’s Worst Weed

oritteropo says...

They've been trying to breed frost tolerant weevils, but so far without much success.

Really the weevils seem like much less of a problem than the weed they're helping to control. Not all introduced species go as badly wrong as nutria or cane toads (both of which would have benefited from some small scale studies in areas they couldn't escape).

I quite agree about unforseen consequences though!

newtboy said:

The thing about unforseen consequences is they're unforseen. The probable yearly die off should limit any unwanted damages to a few seasons...assuming Texas continues to freeze every year, which is far from certain.
I really hope this solution works without issues, because they clearly need one. I just fear that these kinds of species introductions often end badly, and once done they are irreversible. It seems likely that in a few years a colony of frost tolerant weevils could evolve and quickly spread on birds.

Fear No Weevil: Taking on the World’s Worst Weed

I hope this goes better than the introduction of nutria, which Texas did to combat other invasive water weeds. They are now a major problem, causing massive erosion problems and displacing naive species. It makes me wonder what problems these weevils are going to cause in 10 years....how many native plants will they eat to extinction?

John Oliver - Opioid Epidemic

Erm... How would making alcohol illegal help, exactly? Amateurs making alcohol are much more dangerous than amateurs growing weed. The stuff can poison you or leave you blind.

FizzBuzz : A simple test when hiring programmers/coders

Magicpants says...

It's such a simple problem there is no "best" answer. But it would be very effective at weeding out people who know nothing about coding.

It's really not a question about optimization as writing things out to the console will probably be your biggest bottleneck (literally 10,000 times slower than the rest of the loop).

Where my computer programmers/coders at?

Also does this question actually ever get asked and if so don't coders know it might be coming and are prepared to give a perceived best answer?

FizzBuzz : A simple test when hiring programmers/coders

AeroMechanical says...

I don't really hold with the programming problem interview test thing. It's like interviewing for a writer and having them take a spelling test. At best, it will weed out people who really shouldn't have made it that far in the interview process to begin with. I think you get more by just having a friendly conversation about programming topics. Since you'd only have a test like this for an entry level position anyways, it should really just be taken as granted that they don't have much if any real-world programming skill and what's actually important is how quickly and effectively they will develop those skills when in a position to do so (along with all the usual personality "fit" stuff).

Grandpas Smoking Weed for the First Time

newtboy says...

Vaping only heats the weed to a temperature that vaporises the active chemicals without turning it to carbon, so you put far less through your lungs. They make vaporizors that use a water pipe attachment, so even the vapor gets cooled.

The Pax has different temp settings so you can get just what you want. Lower temps produce far less vapor and might leave some less volatile chemicals in the weed, hotter vaporizes more and produces a thicker hit, but ends up toasting the weed and eventually burning it. The Pax isn't designed for hash and or oils, for that I suggest looking at ineedhemp.com . They have setups for oil and herb, and offer the water pipe attachment.

Being 55 / non smoker this vape thing has passed me by so I got to ask.

Why is a Vape better than a pipe/ bong?

Why does this PAX Vape have different temp settings? For a smother smoke or for different items to vape like weed or hash or such?

Gay Marriage Represents ‘Demonic Happening In Our Midst’

Whenever a religious speaker says 'walk with me now, we're gonna go pretty deep in the weeds' you can be certain some serious Cartman style insane mental gymnastics are coming.

Bodycam Shows Police Arrest Belligerent 18 Year-Old Woman

newtboy says...

Was the girl who was arrested driving? Due to video quality...unknown. Someone who was passed out was.
The motor was running.

The girl grabbed the bong, evidence, and threw it back in the car....on video....then made furtive moves pretending to both attack and run from the officers. She also, as a minor, refused to give her parents contact info, another reason to arrest and positively identify her to be sure she's not a runaway.

OK, I see, you're splitting hairs....driving while under the influence then....although I've smoked for over 30 years and never passed out cold on just weed so I'm not convinced it was just weed.

Can you prove beyond reasonable doubt that's what has occurred?
No.

Besides, I think weed is the most likely problem, given the cop repeatedly says "gimme the bong".

Jeff Sessions Tells Prosecutors:Prosecute Drugs More Harshly

RFlagg says...

For a party that says it is all about state rights over a large federal government... they sure seem to love to contradict themselves. "Know how you made weed legal? Yeah, we're undoing that, state rights don't apply... but if you want to make it so that family that has a kid with bone cancer can't afford their insurance or treatment, then fill free to let that kid die, we're not going to force you to keep pre-existing conditions covered affordably... if they wanted that kid to live, they should have had better jobs... and certainly don't have to make men pay for pre-natal care, but make sure those women pay for men's Viagra, because men have to get their fuck on, any women who does is just a whore." And they are also the "moral" party... Christ...

One More Reason Marijuana Is Safer Than Alcohol

newtboy says...

...and much easier to burn it down if you spill your hard liquor. ;-)

I would love to see stats comparing home fires where the owner was intoxicated on weed vs fires where they were intoxicated on alcohol. I have no idea what those stats would show, but they would be interesting.

Yes but it's much harder to burn your house down by spilling your beer.
