Have these all used the same candle or do you switch candles sometimes?

Would you ever use a candle that isn't white?

Very cool. I wonder how durable these electrodes are once coated in nanowires.

Loomis said the decision on whether to compete this year or start over was never a discussion during the interview process. Their talks revolved around general philosophy and what Moore would be like as a coach. "Look, I'm in the mode of trying to win every game, whatever it takes to win every game... You're just trying to win every game. And so that didn't come up..."

Saints are in denial of the concept of a Superbowl "window" apparently. This feels like one of those "I'm not crazy, the rest of the world is" moments.

As I understand it: The long term vision is that by increasing the cost of imported goods, domestic goods will have an easier time being competitive. The short term vision is that tariffs can be used to bully other countries into doing things the U.S. wants.

Here is an excerpt from another source summarizing the requirement for integrated pest management:

"These plans address three levels of pest management. Level A is based on the expectation that a well-designed and healthy organic system will naturally have fewer pest problems. It focuses on pest and disease outbreak prevention practices such as cover crops, crop rotation and providing habitat for ladybugs and other beneficial insects.

If Level A practices are not sufficient, Level B focuses on the introduction of insect predators and parasites, mulching, grazing, mowing, solarization and other mechanical and physical practices.

If additional pest management is needed, Level C includes the use of natural and synthetic pesticides on the National List."

Also, the list you have linked is so so much less bad than the list of allowed chemicals for conventional farmers, which I can't even find online... Best way I have found to view it is here: https://ordspub.epa.gov/ords/pesticides/f?p=CHEMICALSEARCH:46::::

Bottom line is that conventional pesticide use is much less transparent and less tightly regulated.

This is an oversimplification. It is true that organic farmers are permitted to use certain chemicals on their crops, but the allowed substances are very different in terms of ecological impact compared to conventional chemical treatments (conventional chemicals and their breakdown products generally persist in the environment much longer).

Organic farmers are also required to try to manage pests without chemicals first, steering the organic industry towards "integrated pest management" where very small amounts of pesticides are used in a highly targeted manner.

"The Saints could free up almost $31 million in cap space this year by restructuring Carr's contract. A full restructure would make Carr's 2026 salary cap number about $69 million in the final year of his deal."

Ugh, stop kicking the can!!! Tired of seeing this team constantly struggling against the cap...

Love this one!!

Do you feel that your current emotions impact your work a lot?

My setup maybe is not as fancy as you are thinking, it's a banger with a terp' pearl heated with an e-nail, I honestly don't know what a ball injection rig is.

Seems like if you left it in there long enough to put a carb cap on it there would be some scorching action (with flower rosin at least). On my rig even when I dab at 420F the flavor is completely destroyed after the first hit. I bet I could get it a few degrees lower using your technique? I have heard some people suggest that you can and should dab at 380F, which...

I just tried and so I guess maybe it does work. I'm gonna have to get back to you on this one. One (sometimes) advantage of higher temperatures is that more THC will break down into CBN thus providing a more sedative experience.

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?
