Yeah they will rehydrate the flower to the right level and give you a bit more bulk and flavor.

I added THCa to my original post, but the decarboyxlation process is how the various acids (the A at the end) in the plant break down, yeah. I wouldn't really call it degrading, but THC can degrade over time if exposed to oxygen or light, or stored somewhere too dry. They sell these little saltwater packet humidor things from some company called Boveda. After drying and curing, you throw the pack in a mason jar along with your flower and then you can store it for up to a year without losing much quality.

The chemical production actually occurs in the trichomes themselves, so you need unfertilized female flowers,, or at least sugar leaves, to (eventually) produce THC. Although the plant doesnt directly produce THC, it produces things like CBGa and THCa which get broken down through a process called decarboxylation (removing the carboxyl group from a molecule and replacing it with hydrogen.) into CGB and THC. The most common way to decarb it is with heat through smoking, vaping or cooking but some decarboxylation also happens naturally over time during the curing process after harvest.

I was unfortunately in the hospital for a week or so when these were starting to flower and they got really stressed out from lack of water but they came out alright in the end.

Those are cannabis plants, not tomatoes. Although botanically speaking cannabis and tomatoes are basically cousins, and have very similar growth requirements. So if you "accidentally" planted cannabis and fed it thinking you planted tomatoes then it would do quite well.

Fry: Mister Nimoy, I came as soon as I heard what happened centuries ago. I can't believe your show was banned.

Leonard Nimoy: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Fry: You know. 1966? 79 episodes, about 30 good ones.

i just looked this up, lmao is this seriously a movie adaptation of rock 'em sock 'em robots???? has hollywood no shame?

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

lol yeah they said the robots will need to train for a while before they can do certain tasks, or do them well. "the next few years isn't about owning a super useful robot, it's about raising one." our little robot children will eventually grow up and overthrow us, really warms the cockles.

Okay. I was going to suggest making louisiana style red beans and rice from scratch. you can throw in chicken, or sausage, or whatever meat you want really and it will still taste amazing but it is definitely gonna have the soft rice/bean texture. you could add more broth and make it into more of a soup too.

Is it a textural thing? I wish very much that I liked mushrooms, as they seem like such a good alternative to meat, but I cant stand the texture of them. Makes me gag.

i just watched the latest episode of south park and i was so confused by this. care to explain?

One of my absolute FAVORITE out of context Trek quotes comes from this episode. "Get the cheese to sick bay, the doctor should look at it as soon as possible." but I usualy shorten it to just "Get the cheese to sick bay!".

That nvme drive just hanging out next to the power cord is giving me a type of anxiety I never knew I had, thanks.
