I've been tending to about 120 baby jumping spiders (P. audax) that emerged from their egg sac this week

He's trying to strike a chord

There's a Trans Fairy?? With estrogen?? WTF did I get on her/his/their naughty list? Was I supposed to leave a thigh high stocking over the fireplace?

Not an expert but I think you're right. The Wikipedia page OP linked describes the phenomenon this way:

Fata Morgana mirages significantly distort the object or objects on which they are based, often such that the object is completely unrecognizable... The mirage comprises several inverted (upside down) and upright images stacked on top of one another. Fata Morgana mirages also show alternating compressed and stretched zones.

They include a pretty good example with a container ship:

I'm absolutely gaping with excitement for these games!

It's still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the.. uh.. scrotumfruit?

Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it's acrylic urethane with real Daikon leaves:

There's a few spiders that do this (I know some orb-weavers do) and IIRC scientists don't know for sure why, though it's been hypothesized that it could be either to confuse potential predators or to make themselves and their webs obvious to larger animals.

Some orb weavers like Argiopes even make a thick zigzag construction in their web called a stabilimentum that we don't really understand the function of, but one theory is to make the web more visually obvious so larger animals don't accidentally barrel into them.

Spiders are neat.

At least it was a lemon and not a glass pickle jar

Years ago my GF declared that if she were ever going to be in a porn, her nom de poon would be Teen LaQueefa. I settled on Kenny Lingus.

At first I thought this was an OG Dwarf Fortress screenshot

My favorite is live resin/rosin, quartz nail & rig, torch or coil. But a big rip off a Dynavap (dry herb vape) loaded with good flower and a bit of concentrate is a close second.

The Way You Make Me Feel?

Edit nvm just zoomed in lol I have no idea

Wolfthorne by Old Spice smells like fruity Sweet Tart candies 💜

Wolfthorne is the only deodorant I've tried that I actually like the smell of (vs just tolerating it)

If they could figure out a way to make their antiperspirant in the same consistency as the deodorant that would be amazing. Hate the white chalky feeling shit

Dirk Diggler vibes

Bratapult

Benicio del Toro?

It's portable for sure, but as it's manually heated I would say it doesnt feel super discrete. I mostly use it at home because I love the function and I medicate all day. It's great for taking on the trail or hitting in the car, etc but I would feel wierd heating it up out in public even here in OR (i feel far more comfortable w/ my Crafty and dosing pods if I'm sneaking a puff while out and about).

It can be heated with just about any heat source but ive found a little butane torch lighter is convenient, relatively discrete and easier than a traditional BiC type lighter (which takes forever and doesn't heat very evenly).

I love vaping flower and doing dabs, but my favorite is mixing flower w/ a dab of concentrate (bubble hash, live resin/rosin or diamonds) in my Dynavap and ripping out of a basic 12" beaker bong.

Each loaded bowl gives 2-3 full bong rips - flavor off the charts, super dense vapor & a better high than just flower or dabs on their own.

Great ideas! I keep poker chips in my butt so I can soak up that sweet casino chi into my fart chakra!

Well shit..

Noticed the Kaua'i 'o'o on the list. This clip has always stuck with me:

Your shitpost is currently sitting around sinety up votes nice

Good luck!

I have fallen in love with hitting my Dynavap through a 12" beaker bong. Basically it's the best of both worlds in my opinion. Amazing flavor, good solid throat hit, dense clouds, and I love taking a couple big full flavor rips from the full size bong. Adding a little bubble hash ups the ante even further. The Dyna B is only like $40 as well, it really is a great entry to vaping.

I'm sure everyone is different but I smoke far less and enjoy the high more now. I had basically quit smoking via combustion entirely and was dabbing 6-7g of concentrates each week. I spend prob 1/3 less than i used to, but I could and should be spending less. Now that I can actually taste the flower though, I've been buying smaller quantities.. of more expensive weed.

The fact that I switched from dabs (and lots of them) to vaping flower says a lot. I still mix it up with dabs (esp for flavor) but the high from vaping flower is just a more well-rounded effect.

There is an adjustment period where the hits don't feel as satisfying as smoke (or a thick dab) at first, but that passed quickly for me.

Thank you ‐ I promise I'll follow up myself like I should lol. Really hoping more impactful legislstion like this becomes a trend.

I haven't followed this as closely as I should have, but I remember seeing a Louis Grossman Rossmann* vid (huge right to repair advocate) essentially throwing his hands up at the New York version of this, as it basically took all teeth out of the bill by providing loopholes for companies to bypass the requirements for "safety concerns." Is it the same situation in the other states?

*I have no excuse I'm just an idiot

Thank you so much for this. I think "Waiting for Edward" with Dennis Leary is still my favorite of all time

Love their Trippel though

The fresher the better, but I balance that against convenience and usually grind up enough for a few sessions in one go.

Good to have you here!

Looks tasty! The work day's always more tolerable when you know you've got some herb waiting for you after. I've never heard of Rotten Flower OG before - what's it smell/smoke like?

Those are gorgeous what a great shot. And Cherry Garcia lol great name for a strain. Hoping she smokes as good as she looks! 😀

Yeah absolutely, though obviously it'll be a bonsai-size yield too lol

The rough bricks work great with this, awesome job! Getting some Mad Max vibes all it's missing is a dude playing a flame-shooting guitar on the back

Oh that's so cool to find them all together - such a great contrast of colors and textures too!
