    , if you can remove all them you will be fine.

    Just have to be very careful not to let any of them break and to wash very thoroughly before touching any other plant, but yeah.

    Looks like it, but it's been a good while since I've been around actual plants.

    Could be a hermaphrodite. I've had those and ended up having to cull them. Not only can they self-pollinate, they can pollinate any others you have too.

    It's been forever, though, so maybe someone else can confirm/deny my opinion.

    Usually popcorn.

    If I'm really lazy, throw a bag in the microwave.

    Otherwise, pan-popped and sprinkled with salt and onion powder to make Funyuns popcorn.

    Ha, thanks. To give a 30 Rock example of what it probably looked like:

    Liz Lemon wolfs down her Teamster's Sub rather than throw it away at the airport

    But replace "teamster's sub" with 5 tacos from a local Mexican place.

    No, I work remotely as do about 1/3 of my department. So they were either at their desks at home or the office. The vendors seemed to be setup similarly, so thankfully, wasn't on a big screen in a conference room. (whew!)

    How was your day, Lemmy? Because mine was mortifying!

    I got stuck on a lunchtime video conference today with some people in my department and a vendor. I *hate* meetings at noon, but with timezones being a factor, it was the only available time the vendor could meet. Usually, I'm only on these for technical consultation, so I rarely need to speak other than to clarify a point or answer questions about our infrastructure. Those are usually toward the end of the meeting. That said, I just muted myself and ate at my desk because I was starving and would have plenty of time to eat a quick bite before it got to the point where I had to say anything. What I did _not_ realize was that even though I was muted, my webcam was on. So 6 people I work with plus three vendors all watched me eat a bag of tacos, and _no one said anything!_ Like, when I eat a taco with people around, I do eat it in a dignified way. Less so when I'm alone (or think I'm alone) and wolfing it down before I have to do something So, yeah, it was _not_ a pretty sight. I'm still mortified, but at least I am laughing about it as I'm typing this out.

    Yeah, I used to do the dry herb vapes. They were nice, but cleaning them was a chore. Never could afford a Volcano when I was still a regular smoker, but I inherited a dry herb pen vape from a buddy who upgraded. 10/10 would recommend (despite the cleaning required)

    It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC does, just not as strong/intense and doesn't last as long. For me, that's the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it's a common complaint.

    If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I'll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.

    I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).

    Please don't take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.

    But the states where it's legal are benefiting from the taxes where the black market states are not.

    My dumbass state still isn't even close to recreational legalization, and considering how red it is, would probably pass a bill re-criminalizing it even if it was legalized federally.

    yeah it's really easy to regulate or even micro-dose with the little d8 pens. Prob one of my favorite things about them. The gummies, though, will still get you plenty dumb. I usually cut them into quarters (they're fairly big) and that's about where I want to be.

    I actually prefer Δ8 to smoking a joint

    I get a lot of sass from my buddies when we're hanging out and they're passing a joint while I pass and prefer my Δ8 vape (or gummies). I used to be right there with them, often bogarting the hell out of it, but ever since I officially became old, I just don't enjoy getting "stupid" high anymore; I'm such a lightweight these days I can't even just take a small puff without it being more than I want. I'd much rather have a light head change and still be mostly clear headed. I'm not a square, just old and happy with my less intense buzz :)

    One of my favorite things from 30 Rock - they didn't force any of the main characters together. They even had Kim Jong Il talk directly to the camera at the end of an episode telling the writers not to overthink it and have Jack and Liz get together.

    That is one of my favorite jokes as they’re mocking fans who wanted them to get together.

    I can't speak for every case where they should be sued into the ground, but wouldn't the person they're defaming be the one that has to bring the charges? The shooter isn't in much of a position to do so (unless the family can?).

    I'd love to see some LGBT+ organizations bring charges since they're drumming up this rhetoric to stir up hatred toward that community, but I honestly don't know if they would have legal standing to do so.

    I've noticed the opposite. I'll use a Micro-USB cable for 1-2 years (sometimes less) and it'll always start having flaky connections requiring more and more jiggles to get working. I've used the same USB-C cable for a bit over 5 years and it works as well as the day I bought it.

    My second point stands.

    Just because an outlet that spews made up nonsense and outright lies throws you a factual bone once in a while, it doesn't make them credible. Hence the "low credibility "rating.
