I have heard that weed from the 70s era only had ~2% THC where now at least dispensary grade can hit 20% to 25% THC. That could well be due to the drug war selecting for more powerful highs in smaller packages, but i would think that would also reduce the quantity needed to get the high you want.
I have the same thing. What I find works for me is to vape a little flower in addition to the edible. No idea why, but it's somehow like vaping some 'activates' the edible.
I’ve picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I’ve purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks....
Oh the hilarious irony. Can anyone recommend an up to date Firefox addon that gets rid of these fucking popups, automatically declining all but necessary? I've looked at a few but I remember folks here recommending some that I can't now for the life if me remember what they were. Thanks!
You do realise that mobile data is non-existent or limited in some counties right? Even here in New Zealand mobile data is still limited or expensive and the main communication, especially between people who don't know each other, is SMS. Some encryption is still better than nothing.
You don't get people's problems because I'm going to hazard a guess that it's not a problem for you and therefore you don't actually have any lived experience with the issue. Or not currently anyway. But given you don't seem to be too interested in peoples actual experiences and seem more interested in talking over people and insisting that your eristic arguments are the only right answer, I'm going to leave this conversation here and continue to have a hard time converting family and friends to Signal because they still use SMS and Signal doesn't give a shit about people in countries where SMS dominates.
The first thing to remember with a green out is that you can feel like you're dying even though you're not. So first step is to be psychologically supportive - calming, quiet, supportive and nurturing. Reassure people that you won't die from a cannabis overdose, it just feels awful but it will pass. Lots of reminders that it will pass.
THC metabolites are water soluble. You want to flush them out. So drink lots of water. I STRONGLY recommend using electrolytes in water though. Coconut water is great, sugar-free electrolyte drops otherwise. Sports drinks as a last resort. Even just putting a pinch on salt in a glass of water is better than plain water. This is because too much THC can plummet your blood pressure and drinking plain water or getting deficient in electrolytes will make low blood pressure even worse.
You can also drink things that have a diuretic effect to get your body flushing fluids faster. I don't recommend coffee though or anything with large amounts of caffeine because that can make you fee worse. I'm personally fond of rooibos tea. Skip this if someone is vomiting.
CBD can help offset the unpleasant psychological effects of greening out. B-Caryophyllene and limonene terpenes are also great for this (black pepper is high in Caryophyllene which is why it works as a remedy). Think pepper, cloves, rosemary, Oregano, cinnamon, and citrus.
Bonus make a spicy mulled citrus drink (add a little ginger for nausea) that does double duty to help flush out the THC and calms and soothes with its warmth and terpenes.
After the vomiting is past or once someone feels like eating, the usual fatty hangover foods work wonders. 😊
Can someone explain use case for me? I assume it's for folks who don't autodelete messages and want the encryption and non-spying but the same chat 'archive' of other apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?
Once upon a time, I totally would have agreed with you. But I have increasingly severe Memory and Cognitive Impairment that now makes comprehending text based instructive really difficult. I can however pick up demonstrated instructions very easily which means I'm now mostly reliant on these sorts of videos.
So while it may be annoying or not useful to you, it's essential to folks like me.

Nissan Leafs are plenty DIY repairable. It was part of our decision making process when considering buying an EV. There's also electric conversions if that's your jam.
I'm so sad about Fisher & Paykel. It was a local (New Zealand) manufacturer that prided itself on quality. It had such a great reputation for quality it eventually took that great quality internationally. And then capitalism and enshittification got its grubby hands on it and turned it into another trash brand. Yet another quality local company disappearing off overseas, screwing over local workers and trashing the quality in favour of profit.

I've have never once had my credit card details stolen or lost money because I hd an account 'hacked' or whatever. And yet, my family and in laws regularly have the card details stolen. They're completely oblivious to the link between their lack of privacy considerations and getting their data stolen. So even significant real world impact still doesn't change some people's behaviour 🤦🏻♀️

Assuming you mean teach you how this is done? If so, it would appear that hooking into pacman is no longer the best way to do this (TBF, my Arch installs run for many years without reinstall so I'm not always up to date on best practices lol). Seems that setting up reflector as a systemd timer is now the preferred method.
