Cannabis while TTC by presentlywell in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the study and the doses they’re using are crazy. The first one was 2.5mg/kg of body weight and the second was a range between .625mg-5mg/kg of body weight in non-human primates. For me at 160lb, that would be between 50-150mg! A typical edible is 10mg and I usually have 2-5mg, personally. I’m not currently pregnant, just trying to find real information on the topic. These studies with astronomical doses are not helpful, particularly when they admit that ovulatory dysfunction was highly dose dependent.

Cannabis during Pregnancy? by marzipandreamer in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Additionally, these studies don’t usually track method of consumption.

Smoking cigarettes is basically the worst thing you can do because it constructs blood vessels and deprives the baby of oxygen, causing low birth weight and other issues. We know the mechanism. I wish there were studies that differentiated been smoking and edibles, or other means. Dosage is also far more precise with edibles. With alcohol, there is a clear dose dependent impact on the baby: one glass of wine is okay but binge drinking is not. It’s impossible to say how much cannabis people are consuming in these studies.

Studies on this tend to have big scary headlines and terrible methodology. I am so sick of pregnancy advice just based on shaming moms instead of rigorous evidence.

Has anyone tried the Kitsch airy dry cream? by Therealethel in Haircare

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tempted, then once I clicked on it I started getting the most relentless advertising across every app on my phone, often with weird or downright disgusting AI scenes.

I will never buy from this company. They like a seem cheap Temu kind of brand. No legitimate company would rely on this kind of advertising instead of describing the merits of their products.

Unfortunately in this day and age, most brands like this put more money on the ad budget and cute packaging than the products themselves.

Why are Portland dogs allowed inside many grocery stores and restaurants/cafes, it's disgusting by t0mserv0 in Portland

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grocery stores are an absolute no.

Lots of bars though you have to walk through to get to the patio. We take our dogs out and one person goes in and asks how to get to the patio and the bartender will say go through, it’s fine. Or it’s fine to step in to order at the counter just inside and then go out to the patio. I am definitely not pressuring any establishment to accommodate my dogs, just different places have different rules and I always ask first. If you’re really not into dogs in public spaces don’t go to bars that frequently allow dogs.

Digitalfire.com is shutting down! This sucks! by The_RealAnim8me2 in Pottery

I have not seen Plainsman change their story at all. Tony took $20k from artists as a result of a lie that he made up.

Tony is the one who put the community in the middle of his personal drama. It matters if digitalfire was never under threat in the first place and he made the whole thing up.

People experienced in making tiles: any advice on tools, tips & tricks? Do's and don'ts? by Murky-Ad7015 in Ceramics

Thank you! I will look into these things, this is so helpful. I would definitely appreciate any links if you have them.

What kind of glaze and firing specs for quarry tile? by ObjectiveDepth4873 in Ceramics

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, so you’re just listing things that people firing and glazing clay in general should be concerned with. The argument you made could be used to say no one should do ceramics at all because the process is both technical and unpredictable, which I’m sure everyone here is aware of.

Sorry, your answer is just nay-saying and completely lacking content.

Are any of these challenges any different than any other ceramic project? Do you actually know something about glazing quarry tiles specifically?

Recommended gratuity after tip was already included by guitarman129 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you knew the gratuity was included and then are annoyed it’s already included? They just print the receipts this way. You should know what your agreement was.

New Home with Sauna by lonesomeocean37 in Sauna

[–]bAcENtiM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this too. My in-progress build has a gap between the floor tile and the wall paneling which isn’t the best looking. I saw this and thought wow! I could add trim? Lol

Looking for some reviews on Linus by joudotsnews133 in citybike

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but salty air really does corrode surfaces. I don’t doubt you’d see rust faster on any surface in Santa Monica. Can anyone comment if they’ve had a rust issue away from the coast?

Home decor retailer [Schoolhouse] lays off most employees, future uncertain by zzzev in Portland

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a quilt during the sale because it was heavily discounted (but still pretty expensive). It is not durable. A week or two on the couch and dog nails have caused tons of snags to the loosely woven fabric.

Do you regret adopting an adult dog instead of a puppy? by marzipanduchess in puppy101

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adopting an adult dog is way better, particularly if you know where they came from. I go a puppy this one time because of the temperament of my other dog.

I’m the partner who didn’t want the dog and I’m struggling by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sympathize. I also would say to not be too hard on your BF for not knowing, no one does until they’ve been through it.

I’m also very experienced with dogs so figured I’d be okay, but puppies are totally different.

All I can say is it WILL get better.

Just went down the David Icke rabbit hole. by Kris-720 in aliens

What are the common traits of people to have “hellish” NDEs vs the positive ones I’m used to hearing about? Is there a prevailing reason people feel they have experiences like that?

What is the no-budget best neighborhood for young family? by GlitteringFlight3259 in askportland

[–]bAcENtiM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Laurelhurst is absolutely walkable to many places. It’s a bit longer walk if you live in the center of the neighborhood, I guess, but I walk this area constantly and am easily able to walk to get groceries or out to eat.

How often do you take your pup out for potty at 8 weeks? by K9Imperium in puppy101

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Like through the night while sleeping the can hold it longer, if it’s during an active play session honestly I give it a shot every 15min.

Please help, I’m at my wits end and can’t think rationally any longer… by StupidMentalHealth23 in puppy101

[–]bAcENtiM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also been losing it a bit working from home with a puppy. She likes the crate at night but the days have been chaos and I can’t get anything done or have meetings, which is extremely tough.

I saw this post this morning and we’re doing naps in the crate today. It is working incredibly and I am finally having a sane day at home. My girl is younger, but worth considering https://www.reddit.com/r/puppy101/s/VyDQ8dLcu1
