    Personally this whole thing is a bit of a meh for me because having been to areas with high malaria risk, dengue, chikv, yellow fever, cholera and fucking bubonic plague epidemics, traveled in China during the H1N1 epidemic (and possibly had it) and swimming in a lake in Africa infested with parasites and treated twice for a possible parasite infection aaand having had some mysterious tropical disease from Indonesia that took weeks of antibiotics to cure and having had both pneumonia and influenza.. I'm not too scared of a little bit of heavier than usual flu virus. If I get sick just gimme some ibuprofen and codeine.

    But, some people I know are high-risk, so I'm not going to act like a total dickwad and I'll try not to become a supercarrier or something like that.

    If you do, go to Trumps MAGA rallies.

    Is marijuana use an unspoken rule for posting on WATMM?

    I want to share my cannaoil/edible guide here for decarbing and making edibles.

    What you need:

    • 1 cup of butter or cooking oil. The best types are virgin coconut oil, mct oil, olive oil and grape seed oil.
    • 7 grams of cannabis for normal strength, 10 grams for stronger (best), or 14 grams for strongest. If you are using trim, double the amount of grams needed.
    • 1 tablespoon of lecithin. Works better powdered, I find. It can be either soy or sunflower. If you are afraid of GMOs, stick with sunflower. (You can get this off the internet or a health food store.)
    • cheesecloth or a thin wire mesh strainer
    • either a jar or aluminum foil

    Steps:

    1. Grind your cannabis up coarsely so that you have lots of surface area but not too fine so that it goes through the cheesecloth/strainer.
    2. Preheat your oven to 220 F
    3. Put the cannabis either in a jar that is loosely fitted, or sandwich it between two sheets of aluminum foil. I use a decarbing machine now but the jar worked good when I did it this method.
    4. Bake it for 45 minutes and then let it cool for 30 more minutes. Congrats, your weed should be decarbed and a very pleasant light brown colour.
    5. Heat the oil in a pan, pot, or slow cooker at the lowest temperature. Just below simmering and absolutely not boiling.
    6. When all of the oil has heated, throw in the cannabis and the lecithin. The lecithin acts as an emulsifier that allows the THC and CBD to be absorbed by your gut more readily. It doesn't increase the potency, but it increases the speed and amount of cannabis available. It also extends the shelf life of your canna oil/cannabutter by a lot more. If you are using egg whites in your edibles, you can skip this step.
    7. Cook the cannabis over a period of 3-4 hours, stirring every half hour or so. Some people swear by leaving it in for 8+ hours but I never noticed a difference. I'd say a safe bet is 4 hours.
    8. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes then strain it through a cheesecloth into a container or jar. I don't recommend pouring it out scalding hot. Also when straining with a cheesecloth, I don't recommend squeezing all of the remaining oil out because its mostly chlorophyll and it'll give your cannabutter and cannaoil a very strong smell and taste. You can use the used up weed by putting it in a tea bag and consuming it that way, or throw it into your coffee filter/french press to get it that way.
    9. You are done! Store it away for future use or use it right away!

     

    With this recipe, the edibles I make are reliable. They start to work in an hour or less with the lecithin.

    Once I got a Korg MS-20 I haven't used any other hardware since (except for a generic midi controller). It killed my gear lust as anything else I reasoned I could do on the PC.

    Also the accompanying SQ-10 sequencer. Both of those together and you have a self-contained modular synth. The MS-20 mini and SQ-1 are just as good and probably even better for a desktop setting. Only problem I have with it is that it isn't really compatible with other modular components outside of korg because it uses a different voltage parameter.

    Coronavirus COVID-19

    WHO's assessment stated that mortality rate is roughly 3.8% and 20% of those infected require hospitalization, with 1/5 of those requiring assisted breathing machines. Twice as high for men (almost 5%) as women (little over 2%), and targets *former* smokers twice the amount than both non-smokers and currently smokers.

    The biggest risk factors for mortality, from greatest to least: cardiovascular problems or disease, diabetes (type 1 or 2), COPD and Asthma, and finally high blood pressure. This virus uses cells from your lungs and heart to make more of itself, and people who get re-infected have a higher chance of dying because it goes straight for the heart.

     

    Also another thing of note: When the spanish flu came in 1918, the first year it was like any other flu. The next year after it mutated and started killing lots of people, regardless of age.

    these will sell well to the hot topic aficionados

    I had a racing game on one of those handhelds about 25 years ago that my parents gave me for long road trips. It was a poor mans gameboy, but there was just enough of a "game" in it to entertain me and it was pretty fun. The battery also lasted a couple of decades.

    I share that story because that is the only thing these things have going for them: capitalizing on nostalgia. It sounds more like they unearthed a bunch of these from someone's storage locker and are trying to make a buck.

    A few albums recently listened.

    Nirvana - In Utero 20th Anniversary edition.

    I wish I listened to it sooner. With the exception of Pennyroyal Tea, there isn't a bad song on it and it's dark as fuck, and even that one I can stomach (no pun intended). I ended up sampling the crazy intro from Radio Friendly Unit Shifter on one of my new songs because its so good and underrated.
