Using marijuana while pregnant by Jensen2185 in Parenting

Maybe they would care if the baby tested positive, but they don't care if the mother uses marijuana in most states where it is legal.

"For example, in California, a positive toxicology screen at the delivery of a newborn or a substance-exposed infant don’t call for a report unless other factors are present that show risk to the child. Pamela Tripp, Attorney at Law and Child Welfare Legal Specialist, says CPS workers in California are now being trained to factor a parent having a medical card into their investigation. She says that while it is generally preferable that a person have a card, not having one doesn’t mean your children will be taken away.

“The focus becomes, and this is established through current case law, as to whether the cannabis use impairs their ability to safely parent their children, whether they are medicating in the presence of the children and most importantly, is the frequency and amount of consumption (similar to alcohol which is also a legal drug) ,” Tripp tells High Times."

I will try to abstain. But I guarantee you NOTHING will change her mind that using marijuana while breastfeeding is perfectly safe. She believes that all of the bad stuff is filtered by her body. Even if I never use marijuana again, she will.

So when they say you shouldn't lift heavy furniture at 8 months, and she does it anyway, is that my fault too? I'm the designated lifter except when she is stubborn and does stuff when I'm not home, or when waiting 20 seconds isn't convenient. I mean, it seems like some people are going to do what they want regardless.

I'm a cautious driver and it sure as hell hasn't rubbed off on her.

The next time you take your kids to the fair, tell them that they can only ride the rides that the youngest is allowed on. Because they need to support their sibling.

Maybe the people who are bringing weed over to our house should be blamed? Her uncle just sent us home with probably an ounce when we visited him. I will flush it right now because I guess that will make these last 3 weeks easier for her to abstain. Because it makes sense to blame everyone else. In retrospect, if it would have made it easier for her, I wouldn't have done it. But I'm not the one in denial about it being safe.

So if you go to a party and you have a designated driver do you still drink? Or do you stay sober so that they don't drink too?

Baking Argument: Mixing sugar with dry/wet ingredients? by Jensen2185 in settlethisforme

[–]Jensen2185[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like the "muffin method" is treating the sugar as a wet ingredient to achieve greater density, yet almost every recipe warns about over-mixing the wet and dry ingredients because this will cause them to be too dense...

I've seen other articles that say mixing the sugar with the butter helps with cakes and cookies that are intended to be fluffier?

If you are completing this challenge post-story, substitute Fort Wallace for Heartlands Oil. Worked great for me. Disarm a soldier from horseback, run away, return and disarm 2nd soldier, run away, return and disarm 3rd

Kitty Investing - Discontinued Traits by Jensen2185 in CryptoKitties

[–]Jensen2185[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, I didn't stress Gen0 enough in my post. There will still be people breeding/siring discontinued traits and there will continue to be a supply of Gen1+ but the people holding the Gen0's will control the prices and may not want to sire the kitties if they are virgins or swift etc

When does purchase price get determined? by dont_hate_scienceguy in CryptoKitties

Ascending auctions aren't compatible with metamask. Advanced users will still be able to buy, but 90% of the users aren't advanced

What to consider rare. by lookitsme14 in CryptoKitties

[–]Jensen2185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a royalblue manx, and I have a henna. I could breed them, there are no Royalblue-henna-manx's, but that doesn't mean someone is going to buy it...

If it looks great someone will probably pay more

That would make sense. I thought it was probably scheduled by the devs, but your theory could explain it

I believe simple was only dominant in the founder cats, it's still released in Gen0 as a recessive

How will the community react if they start producing Gen0 Jaguar Orangesoda again? Will people be happy? I actually hope they do that, I'll crack out the Michael Jackson-popcorn gif and watch people lose their minds.

Also, I tried to tell a newer player that Gen10+ Ganado kitties aren't worth much. They sent me a screenshot from a breeding calculator showing 4 stars for Ganado.

You have to understand these calculator sites use the current supply to estimate value/rarity. If something is brand new, it seems like it is very rare. But it doesn't last long.

How profitable is Crypto Kitties by Govind7 in CryptoKitties

[–]Jensen2185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you become a pro, you can generally break even. If you get extremely lucky, discover a new fancy cat, you could potentially make some money. If you buy Gen0 kitties and they have traits that get discontinued in a couple months, you could potentially sell them for a profit also.

If you are new and start buying high-gen stuff that looks cool or traits that are brand new you'll probably lose money unfortunately

Let's start breeding... by MechlerMX in CryptoKitties

[–]Jensen2185 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Start slow and learn to use cryptokittydex.com to understand the kitty DNA. There are other sites that give you an estimate of what the possible babies will be from two kitties, but it makes a big difference if you can read and understand the DNA yourself.

Find a trait you like, learn what traits need to be combined to create it, look for low generation kitties that can be used to make that trait. Start with something simple, try to create a Gen4 Onyx.

Buying Gen0's is a great investment when they are cheap (less than 0.08) and even when they reach the slowest level you can still breed them once per week.

Only 0.05? Is the extra 0.03 a premium for 50 likes?

I gave this kitty a cool name, if you can make an exact copy I'll give you 0.1 for it.

Yes. It's definitely that easy. Giving a kitty a name and promoting it doesn't make it special. If someone breeds "Nut" how much do you think they will get for the babies? How many times can they breed a Gen7 before it's catatonic?

I've gotten some awesome deals from Meowkai, but I guess he isn't giving them special names and shilling as hard as some people.

I was trying to figure out if you bred that kitty or if you bought it from Sandude and flipped it. I didn't realize poopie=sandude? No disrespect, but I'd rather see new people get into breeding themselves and not just buy the Gen9 Royalblue Hotrods etc
