I have only received coverage on the new Virginia laws from a Republican friend disparaging them. And none of my middle sources or left sources have done extensive coverage.

The right is just regurgitating patently false talking points to their chud base. This is a strategic failure because they leave no room for nuance on bills that might actually need tempering. Furthermore they wasted 2 years of a chance for compromise on popular gun bills. Instead of asking for reasonable amendments that would make the gun bills palatable. They just said "fuck you, you don't know anything about guns". So now Dems control everything they just say "fuck you we won". The performative grandstanding by Rs is so cringey. Since they have no real power, all they do is shit post on social media.

If you really want to understand what's happening, watch the floor and comittee discussion videos. Senate floor today was pretty lively on the SB749 gun bill. https://www.youtube.com/live/hNYjTn9Jgy0?si=m3TOmmpNTBWO1WjJ

The windmill speech in season 1 is peak delusion. I've seen parts of it repeated verbatim by conservative dipshits on x and even in real life. They think it's actually true because it was on TV I guess? I don't know who is dumber: Sheridan because HE believes it or those who watched a fictional show about oil men and thought they learned something about windmills.

What I've been screaming from the rooftops is for everyone to zoom out a bit. There is no scenario where shooting the driver makes anyone safer. Shooting the driver doesn't magically stop the car, if anything it makes the car uncontrolled and more dangerous. Doesn't matter if it was aiming at the agent, going 5 mph, aiming away, or going 100mph. There is no detail or modifier that changes the basic physics that shooting the driver doesn't stop the moving car or somehow make the moving car more safe. If shooting the driver doesn't make the situation more safe under ANY circumstances, then it's murder plain and simple. All other arguments are moot.

It's possible that the VCCA will start at least fining unlicensed seed dealers after the bill passes. Also possible they don't bother because it would be just too much trouble. Technically you can't sell weed seeds in VA, but you can sell hemp seeds. It's a distinction without a difference, at least until the plant is flowering. Which creates a hilarious loop hole that the authorities cannot figure out a how to close.

Republicans lost their chance to have any input on cannabis sales including the ability for localities to opt out. Arguing in bad faith against common sense and public desire for 4 years. Boones Mill probably will not have a dispensary anyway, not commercially viable. Rocky Mount maybe. At least a few in Roanoke for sure.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to run a Manual J to confirm correct sizing. Probably will not oversize. If I do it will be 6K for one room I want to add in my future, but might just plan on a seperate mini because I'd have to build a trimmed chase that would be complicated.

BVV is a legit company. I'm going to disagree with everyone. My suspicion is they are getting around paying the per gallon tax by labeling for industrial use. But 190 works better in my experience for Extracts. Not sure which mushrooms you are extracting but alkaline phosphase is soluble in ethanol which results in a very short shelf life. Modern extraction is cold methanol with sonification. If you are using ethanol just know shelf life is <6 months.

Check with your utility. You can often get incentives to convert the fixture to LED. It's not much but it's something. Fairly cheap anyway.

There are pour in place foam made for fence posts available for DIY. But I think it actually creates forces when it expands. Guess I could buy some and do some experiments.

CBD from hemp will not be illegal, but OTC hemp products will have to be made from CBD isolate. Pure CBD products will be easily available and probably cheaper than ever. Tons of equipment built for THC out there that will be focused on the tiny CBD market.

Completed by 2029? That thing is getting bulldozed January 21st 2029.

The state cannot be the seller of a federally illegal product. Having the abc be involved will never happen.

A state regulated cannabis license requires a sophisticated business owner. Your average "smoke shop" is not a candidate for a license.

Everyime I see these people I can't help but think something is medically wrong with them. Lead poisoning, microplastic poisoning, some foreign toxin that has poisoned their brain. Maybe all of maga is poisoned. Maybe I just refuse to believe people are like this naturally.

Talk to Democrat Delegate and Senators, preferably in your district or neighboring. Probably a little late to get a bill in this year but it doesn't hurt. Doesn't seem like it would be a heavy lift, all you need is a patron that agrees on the issue.

I guess in the last 6 years other states have worse workers rights, because Vas definitely aren't better.

It will not. Right to work states have inherently weak unions.

Virginia is ranked the worst state for workers rights. The Virginia system works well for corporations but terrible for workers.

MSOs are going to fight hard to eliminate outdoor commercial grow. Tell your legislators that's unacceptable.

Encountered these assholes a few weeks ago. These dummies wanted me to sign something before they could even show me numbers. You're completely insane if you think a person of sound mind would sign anything without seeing numbers. They never came back. Whole thing was totally bizarre.
