My Whole Foods just uses paper bags, so I guess this doesn’t affect me :shrug:.

I don’t think you have a point. You’re shaming people in a community who don’t give a fuck about your concern trolling. Calling out shitty organizations for shitty behavior in the loudest way possible is often the only way to enact change. There’s a distinct power imbalance between companies that have money and resources versus individuals in the open source community. Polite and firm are useless unless you have additional leverage.

I don’t think there needs to be a word that describes the negative of a condition. You just don’t need a descriptor at all. There’s no value add.

Inject vs eject? Am I being trolled here?

The prefix seems unnecessary and doesn’t even make sense with your last example. Why is it needed when the a- prefix works perfectly fine to contrast with the existing word as-is?

Thanks this is a lot of great detail on the dosing mechanism that I think is really interesting. I love reading up on the experimental details and the actually components used to make these experiments work.

300mg of orally ingested THC spread out over 24 hours is about equivalent to consuming 1 typical candy/gummy every hour for 24 hours of the day. A reasonable or average or normal person would be uncomfortably high at these dosages. I also imagine the bioavailability of oral ingestion is less than the dosing mechanism you described although I’m not sure (is that getting taken up through the lymphatic system? How does it differ from oral ingestion or injection into the bloodstream?).

Fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Maybe I’m misreading the only plot that mentions dosing numbers anywhere. It looks like the largest dosing group is getting 3mg/kg/day. That’s a lot scaled up to a 100kg person (like 10x a normal gummy for example).

But if the average is better, then we’re will clearly win by using it. I’m not following the logic of tracking the worst case scenarios as opposed to the average.

Just like all humans can do right now, right?

I never see any humans on the rode staring at their phone and driving like shit.

To the posters commenting on how amazing it is Americans are wowed by the obvious: there’s an entire electric train network called BART throughout the land surrounding this small peninsula run of Caltrain. And it’s been running since the 60s so it’s not really new to us. It’s also noisy as shit because the wheels are dumb. But it’s still fast.

Go to Turlock, CA.

Read Wikipedia, his father was an attorney for the oil tycoon J Paul Getty and administrator of the Getty family trust. They go deep into money.

You using a different kind of sumac than the rest of us? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac#In_food

It’s for a 3/4 cup serving which doesn’t seem all that unreasonable.

Paper lets the flour breathe, releasing moisture. The grain isn’t 100% when milled and the milling process generates significant heat (mill some grain at home with a motorized mill and see). Warmth + moisture + hermetically sealed plastic smells like a nice way to grow some fungus.

Edit: isn’t 100% dry when milled.

Do you have an easily digestible source so I can stick this in the face of conservatives with classic talking points?

No, the analogy is more that the oscillations are themselves the particles.

The addition of energy into a system would be this hand push. The fact that the particles themselves exist means that they are oscillations in this mesh (with some energy/frequency). Interactions with other particles can add or remove energy.

Definitely these canvas metaphor are just conveniences. Also, I got it from Zee’s “Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell” which is a standard graduate or advanced undergrad level book on QFT.

Special relativity definitely overlaps with quantum mechanics and that overlap forms the basis of the math used at collider experiments like those at the LHC. Special relativity is simple with 2 rules that let you derive all the equations: 1) no universal reference frames 2) speed of light is constant.

You’re probably thinking about general relativity which defines gravity through the curvature of space time.

If you think about quantum mechanics existing on some “canvas”, that might look like an interlocking mesh of springs (like something under a bed or cot). You could take your hand and bounces it up and down on this mesh, adding oscillations and creating standing waves in the grid. These oscillations would be different particles (electrons, protons) each with their own characteristic frequency of oscillations. If you add energy to the bed of springs, you can “pop” particles into existence. All these particles actually are are just excitations of the mesh/canvas. As of yet, there’s been no way to define or find the gravity particle on this canvas, so right now the canvas of space time and the canvas of quantum mechanics are two distinct “things”.

How long ago? ROOT (and other frameworks like GEANT) using C++ has been the standard for over 15 years, but probably longer. I think my advisor was of the last generation that had to write in Fortran.

There’s a remarkable difference in the quality of apps delivered from major tech companies using US developers and apps from contracted employees in places like Eastern Europe. You get what you pay for.

Having said that, I’m sure that there are good developers everywhere in the world. I’m not sure that excellence in the field is as widely rewarded as it is in the US, so why should the quality be high?

For software, if you’re used to big tech wages, you’re not taking less than $180k base. RSUs are probably somewhere like $400k initial grant, anywhere from 25k-100k yearly refresher. US engineers (good ones) are the furthest from cheap.
