Is there a reason why some group out there isn't just creating and shipping pounds and pounds or even tons and tons of a moderately narcotic but very hardy multi-range wild seed to be thrown everywhe
  • Here are some reasons I can think of:

    1. This would be an expensive project if it was large scale
    2. This would likely be illegal and thus any large operation would carry high risk of problems with the law
    3. A very small portion of the seeds would survive without proper care

  • Agreed. There's a lot of stuff that reminds me of teeth in this one, maybe that's why?

  • Anyone Can Learn Echolocation in Just 10 Weeks—And It Remodels Your Brain
  • From the article:

    "The researchers trained 14 sighted and 12 blind people for between two and three hours twice a week over 10 weeks. They started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks, then trained them on three tasks. The first two involved judging the size or orientation of objects. The third involved navigating virtual mazes, which participants moved through with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions."

  • How to get properly high from home-made edibles?
  • https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/26/14/4113 In this paper it seems to suggest that you would be fine decarbing up to 135°C (or 275°F) but at that temp you would only want to decarb for ~15 minutes (based on figure 8).

    Based on figure 7, decarbing at 115°C (or 240°F) for 30 minutes would convert just around half of your THC-A to THC, so 60 minutes would convert around 75%. Most places recommend something around this level because it is easier to not mess up 30-60 minutes than to not mess up not more than 15 minutes, and you don't need to convert ALL of it in order to get a functional product.

    Disclaimer: I have relatively little experience making edibles.

  • Long-Overlooked Painting Reveals Genius of a Forgotten Black Polymath
  • I wonder if the stars were brighter in the painting when it was new or if they come across more strongly in person or something... It would be an awful lot of effort to make such an accurate night sky and then not make it visible.

    And if the comet is what the painting is celebrating, why not make that brighter too?

  • My partner says this almost looks like a long exposure aerial view of a city at night, like how there would be trails of headlights and brake lights.

  • I feel like the restricted use of color in this one really draws my eyes to the center. Nice work!!

  • New Grower With Problems...
  • That is what the underside of the originally pictured plant looks like. It smells fine and the roots look generally ok to me so I'm not sure that's the issue here.

    I have grown some plants before and currently have a calendula and some basil plants that are doing just fine in the same tent.

  • New Grower With Problems...

    Hey folks, first time grower here. Something is seriously wrong with my plant and I'm not sure what it is.

    Any ideas?

    At first I thought it needed nutrients so I added fertilizer and it got a little better for a while. Then I added more fertilizer and it seemed like it got worse. I was worried I had over fertilized, so I watered the plants with RO water a lot. Then they got a lot worse and stayed wet for a while, and then dried out and seemed to start doing a little better. Today I trimmed off some yellow leaves to find that the new growth still looks messed up. I don't know what to do!

    Marilyn Manson - Sacrilegious
  • I think folks are reacting to allegations of sexual assault/rape (a few different women, including a minor).

    Then there is the fact that his comeback tour is with Five Finger Death Punch, a band that glorifies police and demonizes mask wearers in their lyrics.

  • Daniel Bellinger on blown facemask call: I asked for an explanation and didn't get any
  • It's actually laughable how underdeveloped the rules around review are. I understand that some of that is an attempt to protect the refs ability to make decisions on the field, but this kind of thing is exactly the situation where there should be a review of it done without there even being a challenge flag thrown.

    For a league generating $13 billion/year in revenue and paying out ~$400 million/year per team, there is a real lack of investment in actually running the games smoothly.

  • Did a top NIH official manipulate Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s studies for decades? (alt: Eliezer Masliah's papers under investigation)
  • Reading about this is making me feel sick. It's so sad how many people's lives have been negatively affected because of this Masliah's dishonesty. I think people who fake research like this belong in jail.

    Sadly I think low key dishonesty is even more prevalent than what this guy did - the way we dole out money encourages researchers in every field to cherry pick data so that they can keep getting funding.

  • Does Anyone Have Experience with Electronic Nectar Collectors?
  • If you really want to take bigger dabs, a rig may be worth considering. In my experience nectar collectors are extremely inefficient. It's also hard to pack enough thermal mass in there to properly vaporize a large hit.

  • Part of my last job actually was taste testing water. A very small part lol takes about 20 seconds all told from grabbing the cup to filling it and then tasting it a few times to make sure it's good and then recycling the cup.

    Anon faces his greatest challenge
  • When they say it doesn't "really" snow, what do they mean? My experience has been that we are getting less snow than before, but still at least a few feet per season. If you look back at historical records, the difference in snowfall hasn't been so dramatic.

    What is this shrimp?

    This was sold to me as an amano shrimp. When I first got a closer look at it I thought it was a low grade neocaridina as it had a few patches of darker pigment, but now it is pretty much all darker cryptic colored. I noticed these vibrating things next to its face while it's eating that my other shrimp don't have - is this some other kind of caridina shrimp maybe? Or is it a parasite at work?
