    I guess I’m not really advocating for new laws, instead a shift in the mentality around the two drugs. Weed has been demonized a lot, but really isn’t that bad. I think public opinion is finally shifting on this. Alcohol has long been a cool thing - beer and sports are inseparable, having a drink after a long day of work is often glamorized in tv and movies… being drunk is fun, but it really shouldn’t be seen as cool.

    Just had to share my appreciation for the devs. You guys are killing it - the app seriously feels like a full-release at this point. So with that said, please take a break and remember that your physical and mental well-being are so much more important than this app.

    How to make your hotsauce more saucy

    I’ve been delving into making hot sauces lately, and no matter how much I blend, it comes out more like very finely diced salsa rather than a sauce, with little tiny shreds of everything I put in there. Anyone in the community have any suggestions on how to sauce it up? Also, any suggestions on how to thicken a sauce without making it chunky?
