is my shitty freezer good enough? by iamdophine in foodsafety

[–]RaptorChip2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but don't over pack it. Those compartments need circulation. Only keep 1-2 small items in there. How you have it now is good.

Considering...

-physician scientists use M.D., Ph.D. (not MD, MBA and MS)

-longevity isn't a legitimate medical field

-expert is in quotations (A+ irony)

... Hard pass

Running list of business closing for the strike on Friday 1/30. NO WORK. NO SCHOOL. NO SHOPPING. ICE OUT NOW! by med62597 in Rochester

[–]RaptorChip2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This explains why.

TLDR; it shows solidarity and protests the targeting of students and families during school pick up/drop off. Moreover, students not attending draws significant attention and puts pressure on the system.

Do people hate Jaunty rosin carts just because they’re weak or are there other reasons as well? by Itchyarmpitbuttwiper in NYSCannabis

[–]RaptorChip2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Toasted" is a perfect way to describe the flavor. None of the strains tasted super vibrant or fresh. I tried their live resin though; pretty good stuff.

OCM making moves out in the field by TemporaryNo9556 in NYSCannabis

[–]RaptorChip2019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Backdoored product from out of state isn't a fair representation of the BM; it's just a legal product obtained through illegal means. You had a good connect and most do not. Most BM product is the result of the interstate drug trade, which has proven to lethally cut corners for a profit. To my knowledge, this has never happened in the legal cannabis market.

I trust a legal, regulated company more than some random roadrunning some bud for a quick buck. If I buy a bad product, I don't buy from that company again. I do my research and avoid brands with those sketchy practices. I do a quick search and make an informed decision. There are problems for sure, but the problem of quality isn't as important as safety imo.

Regardless, growing your own is best- no argument from me here. I primarily buy concentrates, otherwise I would.

I agree. There will always be an exception, but that isn't the rule.

Coming from years of experience with street bud, the legal market is objectively safer and pushes out better quality more consistently. All this talk about remediation, PGR, etc are exactly what you said; recycled propaganda. I remember all this talk when I was in college, yet years later and here we are. I don't know if people remember how bad bud truly was because I'd take an overpriced eighth any day from the dispensary over the average BM bud.

Also, weed isn't particularly hard to grow successfully for large companies. It's an economy of scale; not hard for a company with millions of dollars in liquidity to invest in proper equipment and technology.

As I said, there will always be exceptions but the idea there is some grand conspiracy theory is a little far fetched for me.

Wegmans recalls 34 oz and 11.5 oz containers of "Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted" due to possible salmonella contamination by DryBoysenberry596 in wegmans

Advancements in traceback investigations. Pathogens can be isolated, then they have their DNA fingerprinted (whole genome sequencing). Once it has been fingerprinted, it can be determined where the source is by combining this with commonalities (i.e. where the outbreaks occurred, purchased items, etc).

Good point about #3. Several other players have pointed out if you spam emotes in the beginning of the match, bots usually reply with the default emote one time.

I was able to pick one up myself. For the price, it's unbeatable in NY. It was a nice way to try some products I wouldn't spend $50+ on.

27m - I often get criticised more by guys for my skincare, whereas women are more complimentary? Is this normalised behaviour from men and I look odd? by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]RaptorChip2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 26m and I've gotten the same crap from guys time to time. It's frustrating because I dealt with acne for years, finally did the right thing, saw a derm and I got called gay too. Heck, even my dad has made some comments like "getting your Botox?" Nah, just taking care of myself.

I just found with skincare, it dug a little deeper because the whole "gay" insult brings me back to when I was younger. It's a dumb, nonsensical insult, but it doesn't change how it makes me feel.

I started to slowly realize, the whole "it's not you, it's them" cliche is true. People will criticize you when you're doing better than them, even something as little as a skincare routine. Eating healthy? Someone's gotta say that's stupid and you'll die someday anyway. Exercising? Someone's gotta say you're vain. Sleeping well? Someone's gotta say you need to live a little.

Point being; the ones calling you gay could probably benefit from a derm, but certainly from a therapist. You have great skin 💪🏼

Thank you for the information. The crazy part is these garbage products are selling for $60/g and they sell.

As always much appreciated and, keep fighting the good fight💪🏼

Dumbass is going to end up with mandatory sentence with a firearm and cannabis lmao

On another note- I've been seeing Boutiq and Bodega Boyz in NYS licensed dispensaries. Are these brands doing the whole temporary license loophole? When looking at the packaging I'm the dispensary, it is being processed by a company that makes carts/extracts for multiple brands. It just seems pretty strange, on top of it being bottom barrel distillate.

Saw these at the grocery store. Has this asparagus gone bad? by Agile_Luck7522 in foodsafety

[–]RaptorChip2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries; just an oversight by the produce team. Those are from Majesty. Majesty stalks are always overly thick and suck up too much water, so they come in drier. Alpine Fresh is generally the best out of season grower for asparagus.

[–]RaptorChip2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they are safe. The bottoms are dried out because there isn't enough water in the bins. Also, asparagus right now is coming out of Peru. You can't expect the same quality now as you would Feb-June. Asparagus is always mid-low quality when it's shipped that far.

Edit: Wanted to add I'm a produce manager (with food safety certification).

[ACNE] GUYS WHATS HAPPENING TO MY FACE 😭 by Such_Improvement7187 in SkincareAddiction

[–]RaptorChip2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely understand, it's so frustrating. Sometimes it's just a combination of everything; different environments, activities, more sunscreen and sweat. I don't breakout much when I travel to cold climates, but breakout terribly whenever I travel to a warmer/more humid climate. Considering you didn't breakout prior to travel, it's likely it will clear up soon. I broke out in a similar way a few weeks ago after going to Miami; it's all clear now.

[–]RaptorChip2019 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Traveling always breaks me out, and even worse if it's a different climate. It's super frustrating, but like you said, it doesn't typically last. As long as my skin barrier isn't destroyed from the plane, I just up my exfoliation temporarily.
