NY Times/Sienna came out with a poll yesterday that showed Trump was up 2% in the popular vote and winning all the swing states. Kamala needs about a 3% lead in the popular vote to comfortably win the electoral college. 2% in her favor would be neck and neck electorally, so with Trump in the lead that signals a pretty good pounding in the electoral college.

Well at least there won't be any Jan 6 documentaries narrated by him, tho it would have been cool if it was a Jan 6 documentary exposing how the Democrats orchestrated the whole thing.

Are we libertarian enough for this?

Typically the better the quality, the more oils are in the plant, less water and it tends to be easier to dry and cure without molding, but I have definitely smelled mold in batches before that weren't dried and cured properly. The initial cough typically isn't from the mold, it is usually because it has more oils in it and it is higher quality.. it causes more of a "stinging" that leads to a cough. But if you are coughing afterward, like 10 minutes or more later and it is more of a tingling/tickling sensation rather than a stinging sensation in the lungs I think that would be a sign of mold or something with the drying process. I have experienced that before, I will be smoking a batch and there is no cough or sting initially, but later on my lungs feel tickly/tingly and I cough.. but it is rare in my neck of the woods.

January 6 was a two part project. One group of folks was bussed in to riot and cause mayhem, and the other group walked there while the riot was going on. I suspect the violent part was planned by the democrats and aided by government agencies. They knew there would be protests to the stealing of the vote. At one end of the building, they had a staged riot and damage. At the other end of the building, the doors were open and people were going in as if going on a tour. It was a trap and many got caught in it.

I do, but a survey of Gaza citizens a while back said that 71% were onboard with the Oct 7 attack. I feel bad for the other 29%, don't care what happens to the rest.

Well the media initially assumes every shooter is a right winger or white supremacist, so there should probably be some pushback since they aren't.

Somebody brought rocks to a gunfight?

Isn't the whole point of interest of someone who shot a bunch of people randomly what their motivations were and what type of circumstances caused it? Especially when those things are a largely new trend growing in popularity largely because of the institutions they are attending where these shootings are occurring?

I was going to bet on that, but with all of the trans shootings lately it felt like betting on "black" at the roulette table for the eighth time in a row..

All else equal, if it makes you cough, it has more medicinal value and less plant matter that just produces smoke without any health benefits. So technically, it is healthier, but I would recommend a method of ingestion that prevents the cough. This might be taking smaller hits off the joint, using a water filtration system like a bong (and taking smaller hits), or making a concentrate to use on a dab rig and taking small dab hits. I think if you cough, it may be due to irritation and it is possible that the irritation combined with the coughing might cause the THC to get into your system more quickly. That is another reason why people like the cough. I would not recommend that, but if it happens from time to time it's probably ok.

Cannabis users are more successful and satisfied, finds new study https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/cannabis-users-success-satisfied-marijuana-weed-study-well-adjusted-rich-a7792991.html

Cigarette smoke sticks to walls, curtains, carpet, etc, for YEARS.. you can tell by going into any older hotel. Cannabis smoke clears out in 20 minutes. You can literally hotbox a small room or closet for months, the smell is always gone the next day.

I was reading that the way it was used for Covid was 12mg per day for 5 days. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8312054/

You should be able to buy it over the counter at Walmart for $10 or less for 30 pills. It wholesales at 3 cents a pill I think.

More like pine, citrus, lavender and rosemary.. with a touch of skunk (they use skunk odor in many expensive perfumes, in small amounts, gives it a musky scent)

It's not nasty, it's no different than smelling a camp fire. The odor comes from terpenes. Cannabis terpene profiles have the same terpenes as any other plants, such as pine trees, oregano, rosemary, lavender, citrus, etc.. you won't find a cannabis terpene that doesn't exist in one of those plants. They are just in larger quantities in many cases. They actually have health benefits, that's one of the medicinal benefits of using cannabis is ingesting the terpenes. I like the smell of campfires, some people don't. I like the smell of weed, you don't. I like the smell of people smoking cigarettes, but I'm not particularly fond of the old, stagnant smell of cigarettes that you would smell in, say an older hotel or the jacket of somebody who smokes cigarettes. But it doesn't upset me. Should they make camp fires illegal because some people don't like the smell? I'm down at the beach or in the mountains near a campground, I smell camp fires. Oh but the camp fire is on private property.. well, actually most are on state or federal property.. but I'll let that slide. Some people are allergic to perfume, some people don't like the smell of perfume. Should it be legal or illegal? I honestly think the reason some people don't like the smell of cannabis is because they get upset other people are misbehaving, or having fun, or something, and they aren't? They associate that feeling with the smell. You should try going into a legal cannabis store sometime when you are in a good mood and try and "reset" that emotion. It will make your life a lot more tolerable. Or maybe you know somebody who likes to smoke weed. Ask them to hang out with them when they are smoking sometime, and put on a good comedy movie or something.

Parasites hate it, that's why the government is afraid of it.

No, but Ivermectin has been shown in studies to be effective against a variety of parasites, viruses, bacteria and even cancer. It has an impeccable safety profile and is extremely inexpensive, making it a veritable wonder drug of sorts. It has even been given a Nobel Prize.

My doctor.

Does that mean he is a Secret Asian Man?

Google says that some chargers use capacitors that may leak electrolyte fluid if they are damaged or defective. This is usually a sign that the charger is failing.

Oh man, think I seen one of those once.

Just a couple of months ago, I had to fire my cardiologist when he recommended I get vaccinated against Covid. What kind of cardiologist would recommend something that can cause myocarditis?

His full statement does say for those who "need it", which sounds like he is referring to couples with fertility issues as opposed to surrogacy.

From a libertarian standpoint, no, cannot defend. From a population crisis due to decline in birthrates standpoint, I dunno if this will do much to help, but it's something. From a moral standpoint, not sure but I think unless a husband and wife are having fertility issues there are certainly a lot of moral arguments against surrogacy outside of a marriage.
