You can also do a butane extraction of the THC left in that vaped bud, which can result in a super pure butane hash oil (BHO) that is also suitable for vaping. I say can because most butane has horrible additives (unlike the quintuple r

In the context of a military that accepts collateral damage as par for the course, I don't really see the distinction. Did anybody but Manning go to prison over that Collateral Murder video? We have humans approve airstrikes that we k

Because The Pokémon Company is unlikely to sue (or even notice) such a marginal and unrelated project, I'd guess. Even if they do notice, a cease and desist letter seems more likely than an actual lawsuit; even in cases of clear substi

I speak only for myself. I find differences in human categories fascinating on some level, but I don't think we (humanity, HN, or even myself) are mature enough to discuss them without impacting the way we see and treat ourselves and o

If I had a good reason to memorize this, I would have it down within a couple weeks. I'm pretty certain of this, as I do have private keys committed to memory. That's not even impressive, folks who have good memory palace practice

I've always loved the idea that centaurs sprung up as a reaction of non-horse-riding cultures seeing hunters on horses, though I think our brains mashing together different forms we've seen in nature is explanation enough on its o

In some cases, universal undo really isn't possible. As an example, what if the app activates a shock collar for dog training purposes? A delay isn't acceptable, and undoing is impossible. This is a real product, there's more

That would be fine, too! Knowing that the ACLU doesn't support the 2nd, I can choose to support organizations that do in proportion to how much I care about that amendment as opposed to the others. I'm totally cool with that. But
