How Not to Do Brownies

Stormsinger says...

True enough...sadly, I live in a state perpetually stuck in the 1800s, AND have a terrible case of black thumb. Either one of which precludes me from growing my own.

If you grow and bake your own, then you know exactly what's in them. That's about to be legal here in California.
This story was about being at least twice removed from those processes with zero information about what he took or even who made it. That's insane, the kind of insane I abandoned in my early 20's.

I also think this is likely creative writing and not recall.

How Not to Do Brownies

Stormsinger says...

Well, unless you've got quick access to a toxicology lab, this can be something of a challenge. It's one of the biggest problems with the prohibition approach...you can't ever be sure about what you're taking when it comes to street drugs.

But personally, I have doubts this "trip" ever really happened, or at least it was vastly exaggerated to make for a better story.

Rule 6: know what drug(s) you are taking.
I'm pretty certain this was not just marijuana. As a person who has ingested over an oz of AAA quality marijuana in a single sitting, I will confidently say there was something else in those brownies to have this effect....unless he has a mental disorder. This is not a normal reaction to excess thc. I expect he unintentionally just got wet (pcp).

RC Dogfighting/Jousting

Stormsinger says...

Answer: you spend a -lot- of time repairing your models.

The longer answer: This kind of ribbon-cutting is virtually impossible. At many of our RC competitions, we used to try to cut a ribbon trailed by a balloon (so not even trying to dodge). Over the course of several years, I believe I saw a single successful cut.

The Tragedy of Jon Stewart

Stormsinger says...

Personally, I'd expect more subtlety from a Russian bot. They do tend to -try- to look a bit reasonable.

newtboy said:

At this point, I'm fairly certain Bob is really a Russian hacker/propagandist named Dimitri posing as an insulting parody of the worst kind of hyper partisan willingly gullible American "conservative".

The Tragedy of Jon Stewart

Stormsinger says...

You forget that Bob's one of the Foxnews wingnuts. He wouldn't know real news if it fucking bit him. When all you watch is fictional propaganda, then of course comedy and satire seem like just another flavor. All that matters in his view is the end slant...if it's "for" the GOP, then it's good, otherwise it's a lie.

newtboy said:

Sure...except it's not true. They ridicule made up news, they don't make it up themselves. They are comedy shows, not news.
Fail.

Metal Bellydancer Diana Bastet - Sepultura "Ratamahatta"

Stormsinger says...

That was based on a comment on youtube...I wouldn't know thrash from deathmetal myself. My tastes in metal are pretty well limited to the classic rock varieties: Led Zeppelin, Dio, etc..

But it would seem the song is more familiar than I realized, I -have- seen that video before. Still prefer the dancer personally, she's much easier on the eyes.

ChaosEngine said:

Eh?? “Ratamahatta” isn’t thrash, not even close.

And the vocals are awesome.

And the original video is way better than this

Dude, I really owe you for promoting Mother. I was really just mildly interested in it, but both times you promoted it, I had to watch it again. Then I just -had- to watch all her other videos here. Now I'm just wondering how in the hell I've managed to miss this treasure for so long.

Thanks!

Just how smart is Donald Trump?

Stormsinger says...

I'd estimate his IQ at somewhere in the 70-80 point range. That's based on his exceedingly limited vocabulary and his apparent functional illiteracy, along with his well-below-average history of business "success".
