I am not saying I, or others, do not have that desire. But why would they want to spend 8 hours a day being miserable to be barely able to afford those things? If a person has any ability to delay gratification, I do not see why they would work for a subpar wage, especially at a job that sucks. Which is why wages must be more competitive to to be able to sustain a workforce under a UBI system.

Hell, and its not even just jobs that suck per se. I would quit being a doctor and probably go back to landscaping if all I needed was lifestyle money. The pay was good enough for that sort of a thing and the work was super chill. Granted this is partly because medicine doesn't pay as well as it ought to over here, but that is kind of the point. Why would I do something for inadequate pay when I can do something else for adequate pay?

If no one is willing to work for $4/hour for spending money, then no one will. The business needs to adapt or die, not the citizen needing to cope or die.

I mean… yea? They need to adapt their wages… to be more competitive and attract employees who now don’t need to work to survive…

That doesn't make any sense. Why would a job have to pay you more when your basic necessities are covered? It's literally extra fucking around money. It's life stylemoney, not living money.

Because employees can choose not to work for shit money, they can take time to find something more chill or spend time to elevate their qualifications.

Imagine all your essenital expenses are paid. Are you going to not do any work, or are you going to go do a job so you can afford a better lifestyle?

Again, a supermarket would have to pay a decent chunk over minimum wage for me to consider every going there for leisure/lifestyle money.

Using “it” for an animal is perfectly reasonable. An argument can be made for using they instead but we even use it for humans occasionally (e.g. Jack checked on the baby, it was sleeping peacefully).

I dont think that follows. If I had UBI, a supermarket would have to pay a lot more than it did when I worked there during uni. I only worked there because it was the thing that was available to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. It was miserable especially for the pay. No way in hell id do it for less if those needs were covered.

In my mind UBI actually would have to make wages more competitive to attract people who want to earn extra but aren’t forced into shitty jobs.

Damn, that’s a beautiful dam.

Its okay and does the job, but learning to sharpen on a stone can be done in a spare afternoon with a youtube video and a 5 dollar diamond stone from ali. Your knives will thank you.

The 2 big problems with pull sharpeners is that they sharpen parallel to the blade, making the knife edge more brittle and they deepen defects in the blade, so if there are even tiny dents in the edge, the pull sharpeners will make them larger over time.

I dont really mean lower buds, but specifically some shorter colas, if the plant is already starting to flower.

Higher buds seem to at least have more CBD and afaik the highest % of Thc is also in the top 1/3, but I do not remember reading any papers on THC specifically. AFAIK light breaks down THC only in dead plant matter.

Personally i do very light lollipopping early-ish but thats about it.

The only good reason to prune a plant is to prevent moisture buildup, aka improve air circulation. Besides that it can make sense to remove a few leaves to expose a lower branch, which shouldn’t be an issue if you have managed your plant well. If you don’t have moisture buildup / mold / mildew / botrytis issues your grow, you only risk harming your yield by pruning.

Not only that, if it was only photosynthesis, like 2 layers of leaves that completely cover the canopy would be enough, but transpiration is very much dependent on leaf surface area. More transpiration = better nutrient uptake. It is entirely possibly to cause nutrient defficiency symptoms if your plant has not got enough nutrient uptake to keep up with your light levels.

Its worth mentioning that certain mainstream interpretations are also concretely deterministic. For example many worlds is actually a deterministic interpretation, the multiverse is deterministic, your particular branch simply appears probabilistic. Much more deterministic is Bohmian mechanics. Copenhagen interpretation, however, maintains randomness.

Its not that odd if you think about it. Everything else in this universe is deterministic. Well, quantum mechanics, as we observe it, is probabilistic, but still governed by rules and calculable, thus predictable (I also believe it is, in some sense, deterministic). For there to be free will, we need some form of “special sauce”, yet to be uncovered, that would grant us the freedom and agency to act outside of these laws.

Legume deez nuts.
