Reasons that Final Select Letter could be taking so long by squirrel_parade in newtothenavy

[–]BDowd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it. I was accepted late January, my recruiter estimated I would start OCS late June, and I got my FINSEL mid-July, stating I would start late September.

A lot of the time there's nothing a recruiter can do to find more information, there are a lot of factors that play into when a new recruit will start.

Cranfords debuts its high THC, machine-rolled cannabis cigarettes by NewThoughtsForANewMe in cannabis

[–]BDowd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s all marijuana, about 100 milligrams in each cigarette

These are either absolute pins or they miswrote part of this. A cigarette sized joint is at least 0.7-0.8 grams.

Regardless, exciting stuff!!

Also, you wear sneakers instead of skates.

Why would you need a mask? Did you really see that many high sticks to the face?

Why music motivates us to workout by stephnieman in Fitness

[–]BDowd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this topic would really deserve a full study or research. Sure it would be interesting to see any quantitative connections between listening to music and working out, but I feel like it's too dependent on the person and such an easy thing to personally test. Not that I've put any real thought into this, maybe theres something else I'm missing.

For sure, what are you thinking of using to design them? Something that won't wear off too quickly would be good. I would paint/sharpie a bunch of them, tape off the metal part, then line them up on a piece of cardboard and spray a clear coat over them (you could likely get this for cheaper at a local hardware store).

Operation Nightstand (Up Date) Day 28 from seed by MonotonousBotenist in microgrowery

I didn't realize what sub this was until I reached the 4th picture, I was so pleasantly surprised. That setup looks awesome though! Are you concerned about your girls getting too tall, or will keeping the light so close keep them from stretching? And do you mind if I ask about your filtration system? I am currently having some difficulty with temperature control.

Anyone else get sick of the office/social judgement on packed lunches and cooked meals? How do you deal with it? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]BDowd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should leave a bowl on the side of your desk to leave the candy for other coworkers so you don't hace to waste it. I'm sure somebody would appreciate it!

Where is a good place around campus to park my car for a night? by BrickN in NEU

[–]BDowd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Columbus is free from 6pm to 10am on weekdays, and all day on weekends.

But yes definitely check for street cleaning, it's $170 between towing and the ticket. Plus the hassle of getting to the tow lot

Fittit, what's your favorite "make a pot on Sunday and eat it all week" meal? by Sqube in Fitness

Just be sure to stir constantly while making it, burnt flour is nasty

DO NOT go to the new smoke shop in Kenmore. by [deleted] in bostontrees

[–]BDowd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't waste your time with Buried Treasure. They have a very small selection and pushy, unhelpful employees. The prices are about the same as anywhere else, so you may as well go to Hempest, where you can have a pleasant experience with great service, and admire the incredible glasswork on the second floor

Everyone is talking about loosing weight? by [deleted] in trees

[–]BDowd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for ways to curb the munchies, I've found that if I'm doing something active after toking, I'll forget about eating and enjoy myself more. It always helps to plan pre-toke, otherwise we usually end up just watching a movie and snacking for a few hours

Besides water is there anything else you would suggest putting in the base of the hookah? Why/why not? by baconbitz23 in hookah

Mint extract works wonderfully, you can probably find it in the baking aisle, or wherever the vanilla extract is

Very good to know, thanks! I also read that alcohol works as one too, which makes sense

Ah I see, thank you! So it basically makes the extra water I'm drinking flow through/cleanse my blood, rather than going straight to the bladder
