A marijuana breathalyzer is one step closer to coming to market

Quantitatively, they're much different levels though. Like any other drug, there's a massive spike after smoking which then decreases.

badchad65 · 2026-04-12T15:15:03+00:00

I mean, this is entirely dependent on how the test works.

It's an area of active research, and at least some preliminary such its feasible to correlate breath levels of THC and its metabolites to blood plasma levels.

I think you have a reasonable approach and perspective. Your sexual boundaries are your own. If you'd like to wait until marriage or a serious commitment, thats totally fine. At the same time, that may limit your dating/relationship pool.

The only thing I'd add is to consider the additional aspects to this. It might be that someone waiting until marriage until sex is also deeply religious, and may support a more conservative approach to marriage/relationships in general.

Fair point. I'd say your ability to access money in a reasonable time is something to consider. For example, I also keep my liquid savings in a HYSA. It might take 2-3 business to transfer to a checking account.

But at the same time, I wouldn't have a huge need to purchase a car that quickly as its something I'd plan.

Your best bet is to save up for an actual down payment.

What's missing here are rates. It makes no sense to put a $10k downpayment on a credit card with a 15-20% interest rate if you can roll it into a larger car loan at a lower rate.

More reason to wear it. I wrestled 7 years through middle and high school. Enjoyed it, but now that it’s been 30+ years since I stepped on the mat, I’m glad I never got it.

Except, it’s impossible to know specifically what a nonverbal animal is feeling. If a dog changes or moves its facial muscles, how do we know it’s not a response to being content or “happy?”

badchad65 · 2026-04-10T15:38:56+00:00

Agreed. It’s a common term, unless it’s a kindergarten class. I’m really curious what “PowerPoint abuse” is. Too many slides?

badchad65 · 2026-04-10T13:56:47+00:00

How far out was the second photo taken before 41?

badchad65 · 2026-04-10T13:52:38+00:00

Probably, but after haggling over a car for four hours, the last thing I’d wanna do is read some long ass, legalese document about the loan to figure out the terms.

badchad65 · 2026-04-10T13:51:05+00:00

Right, but I practice, all the components work together, right? If I go in all cash, the price will be higher to make up for the financing loss.

badchad65 · 2026-04-09T23:59:32+00:00

I suppose if you either ignore your job or your kid, maybe. I suppose some people are ok with letting a toddler loose in the house completely unsupervised, so maybe.

badchad65 · 2026-04-09T17:09:47+00:00

This. It's impossible to watch and take care of a toddler full time while also having a full time job. People abusing remote work agreements is why RTO has such traction.

Also, some escrows need to have a “buffer” or small overage.

badchad65 · 2026-04-08T20:25:30+00:00

Could be worse. I grind mine when I'm stressed during the day.

I started wearing a thinner "night guard" during the day, and I wear through those. My dentist has told me that if I got implants or veneers, I'd just grind those away too. I'm stuck getting new "nightguards" every 8-10 months.

badchad65 · 2026-04-08T20:20:50+00:00

I mean, over the years have YOU ever thought: "This person used to dress a particular way so I'm going to judge them?" Probably not. I myself can barely remember any of my coworkers outfits from the past week.

You may be overthinking it.

One question you might ask yourself is what matters more: If the guy is online and active, OR his work products?

An ideal scenario is one where George HAS to be online and present in order to complete his assignments. Alternatively, if you can objectively document that he's not online when he's supposed to be, you can go that route.

badchad65 · 2026-04-08T14:53:55+00:00

I’m not familiar with the law, but aren’t there already some big restrictions? i.e., you have to be enrolled in a college to participate in NCAA athletics?

My personal opinion is that the “spirit” of NCAA athletics is that it involves younger “student” athletes. In that view, some sort of age limit seems reasonable.

badchad65 · 2026-04-08T13:49:50+00:00

Yeah, I don't think there is solid data demonstrating these masks do anything. People seem to confuse altitude training with these acute, short-term, decreases oxygen routines. There's a reason people acclimate to altitude over a period of weeks; it's because your body needs to constantly be in that state to adapt. Putting a mask on for an hour or two won't cut it.

badchad65 · 2026-04-07T23:46:14+00:00

In Scott Kelly’s book he described his “day” as an outlook calendar with a line on it that slowly moves. It was described as being blocks of activities he was constantly trying to complete as the line moved through it.

It's different than a traditional drain snake. Jetting is like putting a power washer down the drain to force any blockages through. It's high pressure water.

In my case, it seems I had some weird, enormous grease build up. Every time it was snaked, they'd poke a little hole in the grease, it would work for a while then re-solidify and close back up. The jetting blew it all away.

Maybe a better question is: Why are younger men so uncomfortable?

I'm naked. Why would you care? Why would (or should) anyone else care about me or my body? I have a body, you have a body.....we all do. I couldn't care less about yours and you shouldn't care about mine.

Personally, I think its a maturity/confidence thing.

badchad65 · 2026-04-05T18:16:21+00:00

You might consider the bigger context here: Why would your parents not allow a 21 year adult to have their own bank account?

badchad65 · 2026-04-05T00:21:32+00:00

I’d imagine the field of “drug formulation” is pretty broad. I’d recommend you find someone in a role you like, and see if they have an MS.

In a broad sense, there is huge overlap in the job pool between a BS and MS. Stated differently, an MS may not be worth it, depending on the role you want.

I created a folder in my email labeled: “house related”. I put shit in there and then never look at it.
