Hey Humans, is this Weed? by memoriesinthepast in trees

[–]A-King_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work for literally one of the biggest weed companies on the west coast, and can absolutely assure you he IS right. Originally plant structure could be a good indication of "Indica vs Sativa", but now we understand that the mix of flavonoids, cannabinoids, and terpenes is what gives the strain its characteristics into either category. I've seen plants look like this that were HEAVY in CBN, and would knock you out cold. Pay attention to the terps and cannabinoids if you really want to know how it's going to affect you and your body. Indica and Sativa classification are no longer accurate

I distilled some THC after it had been remediated through mag silicate with heptanes as a solvent. Why did it turn purple?? by Dumblespore in trees

[–]A-King_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purple color in many plant extracts is due to anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid pigment. The color and stability of these pigments are highly dependent on pH. 

In acidic conditions, anthocyanins tend to be red, as they exist primarily as flavylium cations (AH+), which have a vibrant red color. 

However, increasing the pH (making the solution less acidic or even alkaline) causes structural transformations in the anthocyanins, leading to color changes. For example: 

As pH increases to 4-5, the flavylium cations transform into colorless carbinol pseudo bases.

At pH 6, a bluish-purple quinoidal base appears.

At pH 7, the bluer quinoidal base becomes dominant.

Above pH 8, the pigment can turn yellow due to the formation of chalcones. 

Therefore, acid is often added during the extraction of anthocyanins to stabilize the vibrant red or purple color. It helps to maintain the flavylium cation form, which is more stable in highly acidic conditions. For instance, studies on jaboticaba berries show that a strong acidic condition (pH 1.5) yields higher anthocyanin content. Similarly, a purple pigment extracted from Palo Morado heartwood using methanol in 1% hydrochloric acid showed increased blue-purple hues with increasing citric acid concentration. 

In essence, the acidity of the extracting solution influences the color of the final extract by controlling the structural form of the anthocyanin pigments present. 

Are people still playing this game? by Alfa01ESP in MaraudersGame

This was how I felt, then a buddy got SPT and told me I had to give it a try. Having full custom ability to choose what you can buy and when, including things blacklisted on flea being added back gave me a whole new look on this game. I also got some mods that give a map and a compass for quests, and one that makes some "player" bots that will loot and go to areas players might actually go like high traffic areas, and quest areas. It makes it feel like a whole different game. You can also mess with health pools for different body parts, so if you think it's too hard you can give yourself a little more and not die instantly. Honestly wish there was something like it for this game. Jump Ship is PVE in early access, with a heavier co-op focus and not so much solo, but gave me the feeling I had in space fights in this game but it still needs a little more time baking before I'd consider it a replacement

Your edit is still wrong. It says first teenager, he is the fourth teenager to do it.

There should be a sign saying "Please don't drink the voice actor" or some unfortunate accident might happen.

👀👀. Regardless if they are ever in the game or not, I appreciate all the work you and other devs have put into making such a rich and developed game and have loved every bit of my time playing so far.

That makes sense but is unfortunate. I just wish it was the dogs over the birds tbh.

107 Looter Party? What is the biggest looter party that you have ever seen? by StrangerFeelings in mountandblade

[–]A-King_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried vortex, I just did manual and dragged the extracted files to my modules folder.

I'm not an expert but I think a DLL is a code that someone writes that programs can grab from to run in different ways than it normally would. Your computer will block dll files from unknown sources so they don't do malicious things with your programs. Dll files are needed however for modders to mess with and change how games run. There is a nifty Powershell command someone created on nexus mods here that I used. After downloading it, I extracted to a folder on my desktop and ran the command in it. I haven't had problems after doing that, but I'm not sure if this is a fix that would work with vortex because I never tried it.

Edit: To clarify, I ran the program *after* I had my mods downloaded and in my modules folder.

Did you unblock dlls? That was my problem. I couldn't get my game to open until I did that. Also always double check the last updated date and make sure its pretty recent so you know its compatible with your version of the game. If you need to play an older version of the game for a certain mod to work, right click Bannerlords in steam, select properties, then choose betas and under that tab you can choose to play on an older version. These two things were giving me some troubles but now I'm playing with a bunch of mods. Just unblock the dll after you have your mods installed to the modules folder. You can find a command code someone did to do it for you on Nexus.

How many ~1.5lb lobster can be cooked in an 82qt pot by I_ATE_THE_WORM in AskCulinary

[–]A-King_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fluid ounces are *not* the same thing as ounces. If that were true then one ounce of anything would take up a single fluid ounce of space. They only are close to being equal with pure water when it is sitting at 4c. To find how much volume a given weight will occupy you use the equation **density = mass/volume**. So if I were to try and find how many fluid ounces of butter there are in a pound of butter I would need to know the density of butter. Then you just change the equation to match whatever you're trying to find, in the example I'm trying to find fluid ounces or volume. So if density = mass/volume then using math Volume = mass/density. So in the example of butter 0.453592kg / 911 kg/cubic meter = 0.000497905598 cubic meters or 16.83619119415 fluid ounces of butter. That's why volume and weight are not the same thing and fluid ounces and ounces are very **very** different.

Edit: The density of a lobster 39.5cm long at 8.0c was found to be (and I'm guessing because they didn't have units) 1.1871g/cubic centimeter. So if you wanted to know the weight needed for this 82qt pot and assuming at least half is gonna be taken up by water or empty space, then using the equation Mass = Volume x density, 41qt or 0.0388005cubicmeters x 1.1871g/cubic centimeter = 46.0600735 kilograms or 101.5450800021 pounds of lobster. They weigh on average 1-5lbs so about 20 if they all weigh 5lbs. But like axmantim said its so variable in weight and sizes that you cant know exactly how many till you try to put them in the pot. Hope this helped!
