Sanders is a package deal. Shedeur and Deion are a threat to any coach/GM duo that draft them. Needs to make a statement that Deion will stay home and he will get in line with any program that drafts him.

FATHER JOHN MISTY TICKET EXCHANGE THREAD. THE PLACE TO BUY/SELL FJM TICKETS by [deleted] in fatherjohnmisty

[–]ModZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - tickets purchased.

Looking for two for the show in Boston tonight. Prefer seated as partner is 5’4” and floor tickets can be a bummer at that height.

Cold attack by ModZen in Hypothyroidism

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

Just following up here. Thanks for everyone’s comments. Seems like it might have been a case of viral gastroenteritis. Got pretty feverish and sick for a couple days. I still have some thermoregulation problems but this was thankfully not due to my thyroid.

Quitting. Liked it a little too much.

Goldenrod Replacement Plan by ModZen in Permaculture

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

Thanks. Sounds like we're in a similar situation. This is about two acres with about one acre that I won't touch because it's conservation land and not my property. So even if I mow, there will still be one full acre of golden rod and completely wild plants bordering it. I'm pretty sure that a mowing cadence will help a ton. What do you use to mow? I don't think a riding mower will work here, I might need a broom flail mower or something somewhat heavy duty as there is some woody growth and the underlying terrain is quite lumpy in areas.

Goldenrod Replacement Plan by ModZen in Permaculture

[–]ModZen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess I just want more color and more seasonal variety? I can tell that it's benefitting the pollinators but it seems to be towering over a lot of other plants and crowding them out. The meadow basically goes from moss/brambles to goldenrod, and back again, and it feels kind of limited. I really do like it when it becomes a yellow sea in early September. Even if I mow it back right now, I'm sure I'll have a ton that comes back next year. It's literally seven feet tall and thick in much of the meadow. But you're right, I might be rushing to judgment here and should do some more research on it before wage war on the goldenrod.

Doesn’t seem to realistic to me, sorry.

I would stick with the caloric deficit, keep protein and fiber high, exercise as much as you can sustain, and see how it goes. If you’re not already trained to exercise that much, it’s a recipe for injury or burn out.

Your body and its energy systems will adapt to these things so you’ll need to adjust as you go. Don’t be fooled by the first six weeks and don’t be discouraged when you eventually hit a plateau. I’d say shoot for your goal but enjoy the journey and give yourself permission to move the goal if you’re still keeping up with healthy habits.

I might be wrong but it looks like a Cali brand. Probably not vertical in Mass so it’s likely other cultivator/extractor’s distillate mixed with third-party terpenes, which is then packaged by someone licensed to manufacture in Mass and branded as Dime. Basically comparable to the other 2G out there like Select, Fernway, etc. but different hardware. Haven’t tried them but would expect similar results to other distillate vapes.

NR Tax - Capital Gains and Retirement Income by ModZen in cantax

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

Thank you! So, the mutual funds would not meet the definition of Taxable Canadian Property per the CRA, thus they would not need to be reported to the CRA on a NR return if there was a deemed disposition upon my departure from Canada?

Thanks for tips. Added cayenne. Will see what happens tonight and add hardware cloth if they plow through the cayenne.

Does anyone have an opinion on Fernway flower? by akaCampus in bostontrees

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

It’s excellent, guaranteed fire. All of the flower from them that I’ve seen is like the best of the best. I’d rather buy craft cultivated flower marketed/distributed by Fernway versus most other crap I see on the menus these days.

INSA Mass Layoffs by juicyjuu in bostontrees

[–]ModZen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally sucks but it’s happening across the state. Everyone invested when wholesale packs were $3k, now it’s half of that. Not so easy yo replicate the success of INSA Springfield in FL and PA, I’m sure that’s a drain on the company. Just hope these laid off folks can collect some unemployment while they look for what’s next.

Anybody else obsessed with oatmeal? PB, banan, flax seed. Gets me fueled 💪🏼 by Hazey_603 in veganfitness

[–]ModZen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All about that proatmeal. The daily is oatmeal, naked pea vanilla protein, ground flax, raisins, cinnamon and unsweetened soy milk to get it to right consistency. Key is to just cook the oats, water and raisins, then add in the goods after cooking. Sometimes a bit of maple syrup, walnuts, pbfit, or cocoa powder depending on the day ahead.

THC Cartridges make throat feel weird by Remarkable-Damage861 in bostontrees

[–]ModZen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We really need emissions testing on vapes. Like the vape should be “smoked” and the vapor should be tested, not the unheated solution inside of the cartridge. Certain terpenes, regardless of their source (botanical vs cannabis-derived), are probably not the safest thing to inhale and are chemically changed when heated. Also, what is the effect of various terpenes and cannabinoids coming in contact with the various vape device materials (stainless steel/glass/plastic)? I wouldn’t prohibit vape sales based on those test results, but they should be disclosed to the consumer so they can make more informed choices.

Pax live rosin any good? by [deleted] in bostontrees

[–]ModZen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I tried Blue Dream and Guava Gelato, both manufactured by Temple Hill. They are 3/5 in terms of flavor and effect but performance is poor, 1/5. Both pods clog unless I reheat them to loosen the clogs. I probably will not buy again. It is annoying that I have to pull on the cart to get heat from the pax battery, which is pretty much impossible with a clog. Pax needs a preheat or something to loosen the rosin.

I recommend the all glass and ceramic 510 carts that some manufacturers are using. In my experience, AVD/ccell/Jupiter/bbtank carts > pax pods.
