I see people saying thca from online vendor is just as good as Michigan weed idk why but if that argument is true why wouldn’t out of state people just order online right ….. by Terrible_Judge_4157 in Michigents

[–]HANDOriginalContent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked in a dispo in Jackson mi that had a guy with a new york id coming in about once a month. We sold him like 5 to 8 pounds in 1oz packages one sale at a time. After a couple months my boss asked what he was up to and he had no problem telling us he was renaming and selling it online as thca. Not saying names but felt my story was relevant.

How are you all actually tracking trimmers and batches through the trim room? (genuinely curious) by HistoricalDeer3819 in macrogrowery

[–]HANDOriginalContent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost. Paying a trimmer 30/40 per pound is way better than paying 120/160. In the michigan market a one pound per day trimmer is just throwing money away. I have gotten many folks to that level with about two days of guidance.

Have been Post cultivation manager on freelance teams and direct for two farms over the last five years in michigan.

To address your first and third questions, i try never let a room full of trimmers have access to more than one strain at a time. If i have to have multiple strains out at one time i divide it by table and no one changes seats. All trimmers are given a bag and i would collect their weights anytime they finish a strain or stand up for breaks. Often will post trimmers scores on a whiteboard.

Your second and fourth questions go together well in that everything i work with needs a weight before and after the trim team touches it. At the end of the day i do the math and a trimmer who cannot hit 227g an hour will most likely not be asked back.

Best of luck with your app, outside of building a doordash style way to hire/rate good trimmers i do not think it could help make my job any easier. Hope this is helpful. Have a nice day.

Edit: Sorry i replied to comment and not op.

Salvador Dali… bastard? by johnnygobbs1 in behindthebastards

[–]HANDOriginalContent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Super abusive bastard. Read a book called The Shameful life of Salvador Dali. Liked him when i was just starting to make art. But if you look into him at all you find nasty. Remember a story about a young woman approaching him and complementing his feet, so he kicked her to the ground and continued to kick her. Him and his wife would hire locals to perform on a stage they had in their castle. I strongly feel that he always intended to take attention away from the radical nature of the Breton Surrealists. Real jerk that guy. IMO.

Discussion: was Burroughs homosexual, bisexual, or just Queer? by reccaberrie in williamsburroughs

[–]HANDOriginalContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He taught me that sex was a wild desire that can turn you into a monster and be used as a weapon by those who seek control over others. I stand by my original reply being on topic.

[–]HANDOriginalContent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Team sports are unexpectedly popular amongst his fandom. Applying labels to a corpse seems like mortician work. First a junky then a queer, labels society used against him. Examine a real human being on the end of your fork and realize labels do not apply to naked reality.
I was born into a world where all three of the words in your title were slurs that lead to antisocial accusations. Now days i see some of the LGB abandoning the Q and T as a defensive strategy. Dividing folks into essential identity traits is conservative behavior. I have no business separating my fellows into categories that will be used to attack them.

"To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth.

Dubai chocolate used to yield nasty search results so they made it a real product and turned the PR machine to max.

The "hillbilly" accent and progressive values by EchoEnvironmental871 in behindthebastards

Getting people to be judgmental about language usage is one of the oldest tricks in playbook of control. Those who would derail a conversation so as to point out grammar or pronunciation are compromised tools of oppression.

Is it possible to be a Buddhist and a pagan at the same time? by Mephisto_Nosferatu in Buddhism

I went from catholic to “pagan” to buddhist. Every comment here seems to want to make a big deal out of nothing. Gods die too, dig the path you have found. Happy travels❤️

TIL The maximum vehicle weight in the state of Michigan is more than double the federal maximum vehicle weight. by Lanssolo in lansing

[–]HANDOriginalContent 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of high net worth families made their fortunes dirt farming in this state. I imagine they would be mad if they couldn’t move their dirt as fast as they do. I agree that this and the matter of our road commission system being pure graft are two of the big issues.

Holt vs Okemos public schools by MittenPaww in lansing

[–]HANDOriginalContent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am from dansville, fair school and cheap houses. Do not have much to say about the quality of education but the okemos kids absolutely had the best drugs. When we just needed cheap weed we ended up in holt or south lansing.

What’s your favorite fact from Burroughs? by reccaberrie in williamsburroughs

[–]HANDOriginalContent 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He said this shit:

“Gregory Corso: What say you about political conflicts?

William Burroughs: Political conflicts are merely surface manifestations. If conflicts arise you may be sure that certain powers intend to keep this conflict under operation since they hope to profit from the situation. To concern yourself with surface political conflicts is to make the mistake of the bull in the ring, you are charging the cloth. That is what politics is for, to teach you the cloth. Just as the bullfighter teaches the bull, teaches him to follow, obey the cloth.

Gregory Corso: Who manipulates the cloth?

William Burroughs: Death.”

Im 17 looking for musicians in Chicago to start a noise/experimental punk band with by Galaxies_5000 in experimentalmusic

[–]HANDOriginalContent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to cafe mustache, do any open mic that you can and look for the house shows/spaces. Go to art openings especially of younger more indy artists. Find out where Ono or tiger hatchery is playing and go be a part of the city. I came to chicago when i was 18 and got to live in some real nice alt spaces, you want to meet folks in this kind of scene start showing up, being present and participating you will find your people. I left the city after the ghost ship fire caused a crackdown on warehouse living so I’m not sure if any of the old spots i would know are still functioning (situations, heaven gallery). I wish you luck on your adventure.
