“No python. Raise the voltage.”

looks up “Milk Snatcher” Margaret Thatcher again

“No.”

I rocked rechargable electronic arc lighter with hemp wick when I still did combustion I believe its a pretty solid combo if youre gonna smoke traditionally. Zippo has electric arc inserts but the cheap no named work okay too.

Burning hemp wick still adds soot and extra carcinogens but its arguably better than inhaling butane.

Vaporizers effectively cut out the need for hemp wick consumption and electric induction heaters paired with something like a dynavap make it so there’s no need for butane/gas flame.

I dont think anyone looks particularly flattering while zoomed in and demolishing a sandwhich. Thats an immensely petty thing to judge someone over. Was he supposed to cut it up with a knife and take tiny refined microbites or something?

Its just base level pet tribalism for the sake of a cheap comic perpetuating a stereotype beaten to death. “my choice in non-human species as extended family is better than YOURS!”. All conscious entities have a unique combination of emotional understanding and relationship building over time, most higher thinking social animals understand the concept of affection and bonding.

The difference is cats didnt have the same evoltionary pressures to essentially force affection and bonding drive on a species wide level. Some cats are cold and distant who at most will only allow a quick pet, some are warm and cuddly giving hugs. Thats personality for you.

Meanwhile almost all dogs are compulsively clingy and protective its deeply engrained into pretty much all breeds unconscious instincts. Some are only friendly with known family not allowing strangers to bond but If you are family in their eyes youre pretty much set.

The only real advantage dogs have over cats is they are good active tracking/ hunting partners with the right breed. Also bigger ones are lethal to their last breath which makes the neurotically scared and anxious people feel safe.

You know what dog owners never want to talk about though? The fucking poop. Dogs poop everywhere in the back yard and just about every dog owner Ive ever known is too lazy to pick it up making their back yards pretty much undesirable for social activities or to have children run around playing. Also depending on the breed, the separation anxiety that causes them to go berserk and rip up trashcans and furniture.

No, the 100-200$ Galaxy S mid range android phone with half decent RAM, screen size, actual specs and features that enable practical work, social communication, or entertainment consumption with a reasonable price to lifespan cycle ratio is.

You know, something you can actually buy outright, calculate approximately how much value you got by how many years it lasted before breaking, and not get stuck into a never-ending cycle of slowly frog-boiling raising contract rates.

So wheres the brand new retail sold 200$ Iphone budget entry for the plebs to access the IOS ecosystem on the cheap?

Yeah, I thought so. its called market segregation and Apple knows the exact crowd they made a billion dollar industry pleasing.

Any phone thats >500$ and doubley so for >1000$ are for the people who spend hundreds of dollars a month on contracts renewing them continuously every two years convinced its somehow a deal and don’t think twice about it. Different flavor of luxury good gotta get that tribalism social posturing in after all.

If you were a true professional in an industry making complete use for videography, audio recording and editing, music production, I could maybe see it.

But lets be real, thats the statistical outlier for apple users you know exactly what 99% of people do with their phones. Check emails, shit posting on the internet, watch youtube, MAYBE record a quick video or picture without knowing how to manually balance anything or even knowing what an ISO is.

Keep in mind most people don’t know any better and will happily use acryllic microplastic yarn instead of real organic plant/animal or even a combo without ever considering the implications simply because its cheapest. Hobby crafts people will absolutely buy the cheapest with the biggest bang for your buck and don’t consider that they’re shedding microplastics all over their home, breathing it into their lungs and in their body. But hey the cat got a cute wittle piece of furniture on the cheap and the microplastics are already here so why not embrace it.

The Iphone is a luxury commodity and like all luxury commodities it marketed for people with little sense and lots of money who are easily separated from the ladder with shiny trinkets. Before the Iphone there was the Rolex and the super-secret clothing designer brands only 1%er yuppies think they know about. Before that people ground up egyptian mummies for medicine/taste and bought expensive jar of nutmeg spice from halfway across the world imported via boat. These kind of people were always going to spend 2000$ on trinkets whether its a 2000$ pocket computer or a 800$ wrist watch is a difference in taste. The real question is why humanity can’t shed this consumerist prone archetype what is it about people constantly wanting new shiny things that they don’t need and for which the money can go to a better place? Why do modern consumerist not have the ability to tell corporations to fuck off? Why is it that after a quarter century of time to get used to the concept of a computer and an email people tantrum and shriek when their tappy button gets moved 2 inches to the left without knowing how to fix it? Why do we consider this an acceptable baseline for human intelligence and emotional volatility?

They haven’t really unless you count the post-dbza content with the shorts and the streaming. Hellsing ultimate abridged was made along side DBZA timeline wise about the time Twilight was still popular.

Lmao you have no idea how right you are. Gives H.R Geiger a run for his money with some of the body horror in that book. That thing is tame compared to what else is in there. You’ll never see any art like it ever again though the author gets full points for unique vibes. it takes a very… Different mind to think and pen that stuff.

Its from a speculative evolution illisturation book called “All Tomorrows”

Hellsing Abridged from TFS, classic. If you’re gonna watch it you should do it on twitch since they used a copyrighted song for an epic sync that happens in one of the later episodes that got muted on youtube. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/294882536?collection=Y4Lf2g4TSRXQGQ

and then everyone clapped

Its pretty easy to validate at least one of those. Read me the numbers.

Ultimately its about marketing and most stoners/growers arent exactly nerds who care about scientific accuracy. As a nerd my suggestion would be to have an actual lexicon attaching each terp +pheno to a specific word and append the growers last name/company name. force the industry to standardize. I think its fine to have strains like “spicey lemon Smith” as long as each of those words is riggerously attached to a specific meaning like spice is the cinnamony terp, lemon is limoline, Smith is company grower name.

All crap nondescript hype words like “ak” “og” “kush” “diesel” go right in the fucking bin IMO.

Of course this is pure theory crafting what if. You and I both know 99% of stoners dont actually care about name accuracy enough to make the industry self-police. as long as it gets them where they want. anyone who does care about exacts buys based off lab testing result data sheets.

*Downvoter. You have exactly one downvote like half of all lemmy comments ever and felt the need to edit your comment just to talk down to an imaginary strawman over a meme. Ill never understand you or anyone like you who does this. Here, enjoy your second downvote so your semantic mistake can be retroactively fixed atleast.

Sure, whatever nerd.
