I think it’s one of these fonts that creates new dyslexic people like those ticks that make people allergic to red meat.

Rare casual “whilst”.

Probably for legal reasons? Maybe someone will fuck up and sa6 something honest enough to get sued for it?

At this point he probably doesn’t even know where he is at any given moment with adequate consistency, let alone where he’s going to be, or why. He’s played so fast and loose with the truth for so long that as dementia takes its hold, he probably can’t even tell what’s bullshit anymore. He’s buying into his own illusions. Such as his uncle telling stories about having the unibomber as a student, even though the unibomber wasn’t identified until well after his uncles death.

Clever.

Been a vegetarian for a while, but here’s a hot dog tip from my past:

Stick a skewer down the center, then use a knife and sort of barbershop pole around it. Then deep fry it. Then remove the skewer. You’ll be left with a corkscrew shaped hotdog of unparalleled crispy goodness. Maximum surface area. Nooks and crannies galore.

Though, my ideal hotdog is a classic beef dog on a classic plain bun, with boring old ketchup and mustard. I feel like the quality of the hotdog experience is more about circumstances than execution.

I’m losing track, but don’t they usually go good, bad, good, bad?

98 good, m.e. bad, xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad, so maybe 12 good?

Obviously I’m over simplifying and I skipped over 2000. But at least since 98 I feel like the trend has been pretty reliable.

Greenland Shark

Greenland sharks have the longest lifespan of any known vertebrate, estimated to be between 250 and 500 years. They are among the largest extant shark species, reaching a maximum confirmed length of 6.4 m (21 ft) long and weighing over 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They reach sexual maturity at about 150 years of age, and their pups are born alive after an estimated gestation period of 8 to 18 years.

Absolutely everything about them is interesting. And as far as an entity, they are a fantastic role model. The world would be a much better place if we were all more like the Greenland Shark.

Who is most at risk? Generally speaking, older adults and people with underlying conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol or pre-existing heart issues are at the greatest risk, experts said. That’s because their cardiovascular systems tend to be more fragile, and marijuana further stresses the heart.

At the most, it seems more honest to suggest that smoking marijuana with preexisting cardiovascular issues may be uniquely harmful. But even within that narrowly defined community I reckon it would be a tall task to isolate the effects of marijuana as a smoking gun (heh) with so many other potentially contributing factors.

this data only shows a correlation and cannot prove that marijuana caused these effects

Just as I suspected, haha.

From the actual study:

Results Overall, 24 articles were included from 3012 initial records, including 17 cross-sectional studies, 6 cohort studies and 1 case-control study. Exposure corresponded to the use of cannabis in all studies, with one focused on medical cannabis.

At the very least, these numbers include medical cannabis patients which in theory would be prescribed to people with what I would imagine is an above average MACE (major adverse cardiovascular event) risk. Anxiety, eating disorders, depression, whathaveyou.

And to be fair, the study itself only really says that their findings demonstrate enough of a correlation to warrant further research and they make no claim that the link is causation rather than correlation:

Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis uses an original approach centred on real-world data. The findings reveal positive associations between cannabis use and MACE. These findings should encourage investigating cannabis use in all patients presenting with serious cardiovascular disorders.

Can someone hook us up with an unpaywalled link?

This seems like an extremely difficult connection to make.

Trump is unprincipled. He simply doesn’t have convictions beyond selfish gain. The good news is he doesn’t truly hate anyone. But he also doesn’t love anyone. He has no true sense of worth at all. He is completely ambivalent to all things with one major exception. He is remorselessly opposed to anyone who doesn’t contribute to his personal aggrandizement or who stands in direct opposition to his ego. He doesn’t give a shit about immigrants “ruining America”, because he doesn’t give a shit about America in the first place. He doesn’t give a shit about crime because it doesn’t effect him directly. He doesn’t care about jobs because he’s never had one and doesn’t understand the point. He just follows his nose like Tucan Sam, but instead of fruity cereal, it’s prestige he covets. And he’s so sick, that becoming president of the United States isn’t even enough. Nothing is enough. His sense of self esteem is so diminished and corrupted that he would literally see the earth destoyed if it meant that he felt important for the brief final moments. I truly believe that his whole raison d’être and subsequent global fuckery can be traced to that one single moment that Obama got a laugh at his expense. This is just how petty he really is, and how fucked we really are.

My personal, unscientific read on the CHE situation is that it’s mote likely a collection of common responses to anxiety/panic caused by being too high. I have no first hand experience though. But I can tell you that tye advent of things such as the Astropink Alien Brain, coming in at 500mg of thc in a single gummy, supports that we’re in unprecedented times potency and ease of use wise. That’s roughly equivalent to the THC of an entire eighth of flower in one go. I can easily see people biting off more than they can chew, so to speak.

I’m more commenting on the sexual abusers, pedophiles, and unscrupulous, closeted, hypocritical, gay men in the GOP. Trunp seems to get all the attention he wants, sexual or otherwise, ethics be damned.

If you’re unconcerned with morals or ethics or logical consistency it’s hard to argue against being a Republican lickspittle.

Yes. It’s important.

Thanks for sharing. The content I miss most since leaving the other place is watch content. And these were easily my favorite among the many unobtainable watches that would get posted.

Pretty decent timing with that orange bastard trying to leverage his office to assault among many others, Harvard specifically.

Hmmm…
