For better or for worse he's got a lot of friends within openai. Sounds like many of them have threatened to resign if he's gone. If he goes and starts a competing company without the ethical guardrails, I think it's likely a lot of folks will follow him. He also has very tight ties to the investing community so he would likely be able to raise funds quickly. I think there's a solid chance he could make a credible competitor to openai within the next 5 years, especially if they lose talent/money over this.

Fair point. The production emissions make a huge difference. As best I understand batteries still have very high production emissions which roughly balances out their lower runtime emissions.

Only issue with gas mopeds is emissions. If they don't have a catalytic converter than the emissions are far worse than cars. Same is true with other small gas engines - lawnmowers, pressure washers, generators, etc.

I hear ya on that. My philosophy is that if I'm going out for coffee I'll pay for a good one from a local Cafe. Most mornings I'll make it at home to compensate for the cost.

Or support a local Cafe that treats their workers right. Can be hard to find, but they do exist.

My first batch of home grown live rosin! Unknown strain but the taste is all lemon and it's pretty enjoyable so far.

Delta 9 is just THC. Cannabidiol is just CBD. Delta 8 and Delta 10 are the strange ones made from CBD which get you high but less so than delta 9. Sounds like a THC cookie to me and would probably have an effect. Interesting that CBD didn't work for you, but the Cannabidiol vapes did as those should in theory be the same ingredient.

Sounds good. I've heard that for hash production it's probably worth harvesting a little on the late side for the large trichomes, might lean towards that. Will definitely flush either way.

Do you have any pictures of the aeroponic plumbing setup? I have a 36"x18" flood/drain setup that I'm considering converting to aeroponic. Have you noticed many advantages to running aero?

This is key. Urban planners and environment folks focus so much on their respective fields and don't consider dignity enough. Of course we'd all like cheap, fast, sustainable transportation, but not if that means being packed into bench seating, plagued with delays, and sometimes even risk our safety due to other passengers. Trains don't have to be bad, but the penny-pinching planners often ruin the experience.

I live in the middle of nowhere and drive race cars on the weekend, I think we agree on a lot of things. I love having plenty of space, not a fan of close neighbors, apartment living or any of that shit.

I still want cheap trains and micromobility though. Every once in awhile I need to go into the city and taking my ebike in on the train is so much better than driving. Also even if you still drive like normal, it would go so much smoother if all the city folks stuck to the train and got off the roads.

Not saying cars should be more expensive, and definitely not saying city living is the way, but having better options for city folks only helps the situation for the rest of us.
