And here you are, nearly 25 years later still complaining that no is paying attention to you

Next step you won’t be allowed to get divorced or to get your own credit card.

We aren’t far from the recent post where this was how it worked. Women have gained immensely in the last century and are at risk of losing it all.

I’m so tired of the cattle industry in Colorado. From their extreme water usage in a water strapped state, to their entitlement to using federal land to graze, to their insistence on killing the wolves that the state voted to introduce, to their election of Lauren Boebert. It is selfish bullshit after selfish bullshit and enough is enough

I have experienced much more mild CHS than what you’ve described. Mainly nausea and occasional vomiting spells, but usually just happens in the morning and I’m fine in the afternoon.

I’ve been self regulating for about 2 years by limiting my intake and switching strains often (and just avoiding certain ones). I did take a solid 6 months off after diagnosis and started introducing it back slowly.

I’ve found that I can still smoke daily, but not all day. I can smoke up to an ounce of a single strain before that specific strain starts to trigger symptoms and switching to a “different enough” strain will avoid further symptoms. Some strains just hit me wrong and will cause symptoms (ghost train haze) but others seem to be pretty safe and are a go to (member berry).

When symptoms come on quickly I just take a few days - a week off smoking and am usually good to start again with a different strain. I start to get heart burn / mild nausea in the morning and that’s when I know I need to change strains.

I haven’t tried the same strain from different dispensaries to see if there is a different factor like pesticides or nutrient solution that is actually the problem. I doubt the same strain from two dispensaries would be scientifically close enough to make it a worthwhile test. What confuses me is that while I am experiencing symptoms from a strain my body has turned on, I can fire up a bowl from a safe strain and it does a pretty good job of stopping the symptoms, which to me says either pot is a great anti nausea or that the level of THC in my system isn’t the issue but instead the level of a certain cannabinoid or terpene.

They use GitHub sponsors. There is a link to support them listed in the readme on their GitHub.

looks like all of these contracts expire at the end of the year, so we’ll see a back of the grid silly season. I don’t think it will compare to last year or next year

  • Lewis
  • Zhou
  • Riccardo
  • Tsunoda
  • Albon

Yeah, they may not last my whole life but neither is anything else with a battery. I don’t put enough strain on the tools I use around the house to break them.

Yes but they’re expensive as fuck and pretty new / cutting edge so probably not ps5 compatible.

The next upgrade path for pedals is to get a load cell brake. These use the amount of pressure you are putting on the pedal to control the input instead of the angle and position of your pedal. These don’t give feedback but will get you much better control while breaking.

Also for those who don’t Google before you try. It’s easy to curdle almond milk while steaming it due to heat. Much harder for oat

A late caution period triggered by Kevin Magnussen’s stranded Haas initially brought out a virtual safety car, which prompted the leaders to head for the pits.

At the time, with second-placed Norris around nine seconds adrift of race leader Max Verstappen who seemed out of touch, McLaren felt that the safer option was to switch Norris to hards rather than take unnecessary risks and go on to used softs.

When race control switched the VSC to a full safety car period, the potential for Norris to fight Verstappen for the win suddenly emerged, as well as the requirement for him to protect his position at the restart. Those factors meant it made more sense to go for the softs.

But the timing of that safety car call, just as Norris came in to the pits with the hard tyres ready in position, came too late for McLaren to feel it was safe enough to switch to softs.

Speaking about the call to go on hards, with the cars around Norris all on softs, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella explained it was all down to timing.

“Under the virtual safety car, we were happy to go on hard tyres because it wouldn't have been a problem in terms of warm up,” he said.

“But then the virtual safety car was converted into a safety car when we were pitting, and everything was [ready] at the pitstop to put hard tyres on. A last-minute change to soft would have been an operational problem.”

Ultimately, the biggest risk was of Norris arriving at the pitbox before the soft tyres were ready – which could have opened the door for other drivers to overtake him.

“If you have the pitstop crew ready with the hard tyres, and you make a call for soft tyres, it means that the guys that need to pick the tyres would have to rush there in the garage, remove the blankets, and bring the tyres back. It can create quite a bit of a situation, and it could have delayed the pitstop.”

While McLaren knew that the warm up on the hard would be more difficult than the soft, the high-speed nature of Silverstone meant that the difference between the two compounds was minimal compared to how it can be at other low energy circuits.

That is why it stuck to its guns in fitting the hards, rather than trying to execute a last-second change of plan.

“We thought that this is not one of those situations in which the hard tyres have a massive difference from a warm-up point of view to the soft,” Stella added.

“If you can manage the first four corners, and then you go through corner nine, you start to generate a decent amount of temperature. So we kept the decision simple.

“We didn't want to change the allocation of tyres at the pitstop because this could have meant a significant delay. And, accepting that it could have cost us at the restart maybe one position, that was the most sensible thing to do.”

Wouldn’t it be better to allow anyone to build a community instead of squatting on it in the hopes a few special people decide to come over?

Fucking shitass move if you ask me

Also lower % iso is usually better, 70-90 is more better than 99
