I've been watching a ton of Would I Lie to You? It's a British panel show where one team says a story about their life and the other tries to guess if it's true or not.

Pro tip: always guess true with Bob Mortimer. Don't trust your gut. He's lived a much weirder life than you can imagine.

I've also just finished the anime OddTaxi which was phenomenal. Peak writing from start to end. No breaks. I couldn't stop binging it. It's a mystery where the main character is a taxi driver.

Nice article! I am also one of the few music peertubers, but I guess I don't necessarily look like that at a glance lol.

It's good to see folks helping with peertube's pretty abismal discoverability lol. Appreciate ya.

Send nudes directly to his friends. Cut out the middle man.

Fun fact! If I recall correctly, calling them Arabic numerals is a eurocentric thing. The numbers were introduced to Greeks through Arabic folks but the ideas actually originated in India.

Honestly all it is for my family is eat the big meal and watch the game. I usually nap during the latter part because I ate so much.

If I'm at my moms then we might do some games. Sometimes we do what is called an "auction party". Where everyone who shows up brings two things they don't want anymore. Then we all get the same amount of fake money and sit in the same room and bid on it. I can be real funny with gag items going through long bidding wars. It can also be pretty helpful to get an item you actually care about.

During a covid auction party a half used bottle of hand sanitizer had an absolutely riotous bidding war over it.

100%. I started finishing songs when "good enough" actually became good enough for me.

I don't have time to sound like a professional. It's a hobby.

I see! I use jerboa and I don't get any icon for it or anything.

How can you tell?? My client doesn't show anything to me.

Heyo. I can't offer much, but I want to say that I've seen you around and I appreciate your presense here on Lemmy.

I have also enjoyed your "backstory". I've read a post here and there and I always find it so fascinating to learn about folks here. I appreciate you sharing yourself.

I only vaguely understand suicial ideation. I get the odd thought here and there, but I've never felt it intensly.

My main point is: It would be real cool to be able to read new posts from you for a real long time. I'm not trying to force your hand or anything. Just trying to say that you're appreciated by some internet rando. Probably more folks than just me.

Ah dude I feel that so much with looking at pond samples under the microscope. It was and still is quite magical, but you can't beat seeing it for the first time. Just a whole other world right there.

Also see my other comment if ya want, but these thc-p thc-o thc-jd etc are legalized through the farm bill. Even d8 is synthetic in the sense that it is synthesized from a precursor in a lab due to economics rather than trying to cencetrate it from hemp directly.

I'm not saying everything synthetic is bad or anything. Just that these are synthesized cannabinoids. Spice could be from any plant or whatever, and these all have to be synthesized from hemp.

Ahh fair. Maybe I used the wrong term. I guess I mean novel barely tested cannabinoids made through chemically altering cannabinoids naturally present in hemp. It's a bit of a mouthful though, and these cannabinoids are generally synthesized from CBD and CBG since none are naturally present in high enough quantities to be economically viable.

To me main the main difference between spice and these newer synthesized cannabinoids is:

1. Some have some decent testing.
2. All start from some natural cannabinoid.
3. Most variations are riding on argument "well it exist at 0.2% in the plant naturally, so it must be safe to smoke a vape full of it."

THC-A and d8 seem fine. A lot of the alphabet soup ass variants seem like a race to the bottom. I think long term safety testing should come before mass production.

At least delta 8 seems decently studied. I have genuinely seen a thc-jd vape in a shop. It's basically completely unregulated in my home state. I'm all for legalizing stuff but there is a reason you usually hear the pair "legalize and regulate".

Thanks! I can't find a single long term study on even thc-p. I don't think the general population should be guinea pigs for new synthetic cannabinoids. Didn't go well with K2 spice.

I hope this ends those bunk ass alphabet soup vapes I see. Who knows what THC-jdpq is doing to the random kids that aren't ID'ed at the sketchy shops in my hometown.

Totally! I love info dumping about tea, so thanks for giving me a reason to!

Pirate Party! That sounds fun. Are they as cool as the name implies?

Oh helllllll yeah. This one is fr LadyButterfly.

My phone has a option in battery settings for setting max charge to 80%.

Ah these are puerh tea! That means they are fermented. So like other fermented products (wine for example) they change with age.

If you ever want to buy some you should know there are two different types:

Raw (sheng): This came first. This tea is slow aged, and anything younger than 10 years is like a really unique green tea or light oolong. I've not had sheng older than 10 years because it gets really expensive.

Ripe (shu/shou): This was made to imitate what 20-30 years aged sheng taste by doing a hot humid quicker fermentation (wet pile). I'd still wait a year or so after these are made because that quick fermentation can leave a funky taste that fades with time.

2021 Camphornought is a ripe. It being 4 years old means it has like no wet pile taste.

2016 Fade is a raw. It taste like a green oolong with a bit of woodyness I love and seem to only find in puerh.
