    I have something like 130+ g of ABV. I was thinking of making cannabutter of it, but how much butter is needed?


    Try eating 500mg as a starter. The rate of decarboxylation won’t be the same throughout, so grind the half-g up and just eat it with a meal.

    If it’s too light, try 700, too heavy 300 etc. Same analogy as salt in food.

    Agreed - are we (general we, not the secret elite mod team at WATMM) powerless to change that though?

    Not at all. Real world things, improving educational structures and teacher pay. Diversity teaching can get very pc, so getting in to those discussions with younger age groups early, allowing them to see and question the variety of beliefs and codes, myths, research, toxicity and the consequences of systemic political cancer. It’s always been there, but the US high school system is pretty poor. No offence, Merkins.

    Case study here was B Bragg reappropriating the Union Jack from far right groups, pity his music is such a dirge. Theory was there though.

    hard to tell from that article if this dude is one to listen to or not, but, regardless, Oumuamua is pretty interesting.

    here's a good article with a cool animation of the course it took https://www.quantamagazine.org/interstellar-comet-oumuamua-might-not-actually-be-a-comet-20181010/

    OumuamuaTrajectory_860.gif

    here's scientific paper from the journal nature that goes into the "non-gravitational acceleration." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0254-4.epdf?referrer_access_token=EMacppE4xANwDa70xGtEqdRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OcdWxPMYBmpz8z5hvNNN-rHq80eNsALlH9XdvuCIJvRLPsgXoHw2rJCWba44VfgmwCjN0DghEwT2QflVK4GNUKqPz1BCja6vRpxPzfGWFgA7TmvYkPYYkJO8FLD20AIWbGAfAvVmMC7d24P8L-bPEg8_bqmWd-F8G8uLvzTMO49IJwVfmyiQEwcytp1oRROJjoIO8qGbn1JLEIwYg7PN28&tracking_referrer=www.universetoday.com

    basically, it's really shiny, has a weird shape, and it accelerated away from the sun. but it's the first interstellar object identified so there is no normal. the outgassing theory for acceleration may actually not be as believable as the solar pressure theory, imo. it could be a lighweight flat shard that got propelled like a solar sail.

     

    how might one pronounce "oumuamua"?
