Hm... Flower vapes certainly reduce the odor, but they do still smell a bit. If you're looking for absolutely minimal smell, then vape carts and edibles are probably the way to go.

That said, I'm by no means trying to discourage you from trying dry herb vaping! It smells way less than flower, and doesn't linger the way that smoke does. I'd recommend against getting an expensive top-of-the-line flower vape to start with, though; a cheaper entry-level one is a good way to figure out if it suits your needs (and, if it does, to figure out what features you want to prioritize in a nicer one).

Ooh, I was thinking the straps would break first, but I think you hit on something with the roof racks!

Usually they're only rated for like 100-150lbs, and that's going to put a lot more force on them when it turns. They might not even make it out of the parking before something starts to come loose!

It's pretty easy to break water down, but it's also super easy to make it - just burn anything organic.

Usually you can't see the water being formed, but there's actually a really common example: car exhausts on a cold day. If you notice a bit of water dripping out of the tailpipe of the car in front of you at a red light, that's actually the moisture in the exhaust fumes condensing on the cold tailpipe.

I would assume it's distillate if you can see through it, but... Why does it glow? I've never put concentrates under a blacklight, but that seems kind of questionable.

"Okay, we managed to meet all of the requested specs for your superheavy cargo aircraft. Did you want to come down to the airfield to see it today?"

"No, no. I'll just swing by the hangar tomorrow."

"Yeah... The hangar... Um, tomorrow's fine, yeah, we'll definitely have it in the hangar for you." (Turns around) "JIMMY, GET THE TORCH, IT NEEDS TO GO INSIDE!"

Honestly, it's kind of like wine: the more kinds you try, the more you start to pick out the differences; and you can learn a lot about them without any sort of formal education.

An easy way to do that is by starting a weed journal. When you pick up flower, write down the strain(s) that you got, and then when you smoke it, write down stuff like how it smells/tastes, or how it made you feel. Before too long, you'll start to be able to pick out things that you liked (for instance, lemon and pine scents, giggly and calm effects) and things that you didn't like (skunky smell, sort of a racy feeling, too sedative, etc.) about different strains.

And, really, don't be discouraged if it doesn't work or takes a long time. When I picked up from a friend, I really couldn't tell the difference between most of what they had; and when I picked up from a sketchy gray-market delivery service, there was more of a difference, but still nothing super substantial. It wasn't until I'd been shopping at a dispensary for like six months that I realized that even though I "just liked weed," I did actually have a preference for sativa-leaning hybrids with a fresh pine scent.

Yes and no.

Your THC is always degrading into other minor cannabinoids, but it happens very slowly at room temperature. Heating it up will speed that reaction up, though not by a ton until it gets pretty dang hot (this is why bud that's already been vaped tends to be very heavy in CBN). A week in a hot car probably didn't do wonders for your preroll, but depending on where it was (direct sunlight or shade, in the glove box or on the floor, etc), the amount of actual heat that the preroll was exposed to could vary quite a bit (my center console stays weirdly cool, for instance, but the glovebox gets very hot), so I can't say for sure if being left in the car degraded the THC.

That said, terpenes are quite volatile, and tend to influence the entourage effect of the weed, so you also could have lost enough terps to potentially dull some of the week's expected effects as well.

The responses are tagged "translator," so I ran "kde" into Google translate set on detect language... Turns out, "kde" is both a Linux thing and the Czech word for "where."

That's... Actually probably exactly how Star Trek would handle modern Earth. Part of the prime directive is that any species that gets contacted by the Federation has to achieve a certain level of technological and societal advancement first, and we're close, but I'm pretty sure we'd get put on the "check back in a century" list.

So, if they're nice aliens and they just watch us for a while and leave, maybe our first contact just got waitlisted?

Banks are kind of shitty here - if you use another bank's ATM, your bank (or the other, or sometimes both) will charge a small fee. Usually it's something like $3, but some smaller banks and credit unions will actually pay all of those fees back, so a lot of folks don't even notice that it's there.

This specific situation is weird because it's a dispensary, though. Thanks to the vagaries of local legality and federal illegality, the dispensaries are totally good selling drugs, but the banks are very much not good openly handling the payments for those drugs. Because of this, most dispensaries will contract their debit payments through a payment processor that can register their card readers as "cashless ATMs," and who will effectively launder all of their debit transactions. The end result of this is that while the customer can pay with a card like a normal store, they end up having to choose between paying the ATM fee at the ATM, or at the register.

I would assume that nobody makes thermal paste out of anything terribly reactive, but... That .gif looks like something out of a NileRed video.

IIRC, gallium makes aluminum get super brittle, which might cause it to crumble like that; but the foaming makes me think that the heat sink might have managed to oxidize all the way through, and it's aluminum oxide reacting with the cleaner.

Apparently they're pretty good - my coworkers loved them when I worked at a sporting goods store!
