Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

lol I would pay actual money to see trump live on my street for one year.

For one thing, houses here were selling for 20-80k 10 years ago, so people without much money live here. (My neighbor bought his place for 25k in 2018, it needed a lot of work, sure, but all the same. Mine was 60 as a foreclosure in 2013 - 40k+ is a good yearly salary here..

The renovated laundromat kiddie-corner to me is rented out by four black/hispanic families, and the kids are always playing in the street on bikes, boards, and scooters, the other end of the block is an unknown number of Hmong sharing a house (they have 6 vehicles between them, and I’m pretty sure they converted the garage to living space), there’s a 30-some-yo with downs that rides his trike around the block 6 times a day every day, talking to everyone very loudly, and the house across from me just sold to a big black family.

That’s just what I know about; I keep to myself. There are 8 additional buildings with unknown entities. He’d hate it. I’d love it.

Huh.. I’m gunna have to try that. I have an unkempt Druid yard (tiny town lot, everyone around me has well manicured spaces, meanwhile I just plant stuff and hope it takes off with a healthy dose of neglect - the lilacs shading my brick wall have gone crazy!) with bird feeders for my cats to sit and watch, so I have a lot of rodents (rabbits to mice and all between).

I may have a fox den now though, we’ll see what happens with that. Fox would be way better than fake snakes.

If it goes by wonka physics where it needs to be shrunk down from like 10x size, you’d get such intense diarrhea you’d probably never walk again after shitting out your spine.

I’d just like to also point out that pretending this is designed to be accessible is a joke when 90+% of the population doesn’t use mobility devices at all and thus this bench supposedly caters to an intensely small subset of the population who doesn’t need it or want it (I’ve never heard wheelchair folks ask for benches; they ask for ramps..), and it functions less well for everyone else as a result. Need to care for a child on the park bench? Too fucking bad.

The epitome of “the cruelty is the point”.

Maybe, although the flavor of that probably does change somewhat due to being boiled, just like I imagine the bee concentration/dehydration process adds something.

I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.

Have you ever tasted flower nectar?

I grow gladiolus sometimes, and they produce a lot of nectar, but there aren’t any pollinators for those flowers around me, so I remove the nectar myself with a syringe. There isn’t a lot in each flower, but it’s nice in a cup of tea.

It doesn’t really taste like honey, even dilute honey. It doesn’t taste like just sugar water, either, though. I’m sure each flowering plant produces a subtly different flavor, like fruit.

And indeed, honey apparently tastes different depending what the bees are feeding on. But I’d say it’s probably a mix of something bee-specific and the nectar itself.

I thought you were saying the book is a bit pricy the way a tabletop art book in the $100 range is pricy. So I went to see if it was something I could justify for a friend of mine as a gift… but nope, way too expensive is 100% accurate. $620. Holy shit. It’s pricy the way textbooks are pricy (the worst textbook I got was $1200, and it resold for around $600.. wasn’t rentable, and no pdf at the time)

Honestly, it’s not even less of a high, even if you use medically/heavily, it’s just more balanced. When you smoke, a ton of the goodies are combusted anyway, but if you mix you stretch the same stock and the cbd nicely compliments the thc, like old-school weed that topped out at 10%. That was when it was good. Sure you maybe needed more than one hit to be done for the night, but it was a better experience.

But I’m totally with you about the potency race, it’s the wrong way, and modern weed is very anxious weed. It’s just really strong and out of balance. And it’s just not a good time when you are naturally anxious, which more and more people are..

Wow. That’s.. a thing. And just imagine how he warped what actually happened to be presentable to his base.. yikes.

Thanks for following up :)

Alternatively, it’s great for a “hit me in the feels” don’t cry challenge when you need to let off weepy steam.
