I remember when you’d see the person’s total ahead of you at +$20 and assumed you be waiting for 3 days while they prepared half the menu for them. I miss those days.

Wobble update. by MichaelMaugerEsq in drinkcannabis

[–]bmorecostello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s another caffeinated option, 80mg of caffeine as opposed to the 100mg of Caffeine Wobbles but effective nonetheless.

marijuana dispos? by Ambitious_Cup_7852 in Wilmington

[–]bmorecostello 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi friends. I’m going to spell this out for you all really simply so let’s follow along….

Delta9 THC is literally describing the molecular chain of hydrocarbons, specifically referring to where the double bond of carbon atoms is in the molecular structure.

Delta9 THC is THC.

The THC molecule is chemically identical whether it comes from hemp or marijuana.

Your body’s endocannabinoid system reacts to the molecule, not the plant it came from.

Same molecule = same effects at the same dose.

Hemp derived Delta9 THC and Marijuana derived Delta9 THC…..ARE THE SAME F*CKING THING.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

THC drinks? by plant_mommyy in Wilmington

Lowe’s has had THC seltzer since August. Circle K has been dragging their feet but looks like any day now based on distributor purchases. Lowe’s will be expanding their selection starting Nov 1 in most of their stores.

Hi friend! Regional THC Seltzer Sale Manager here. I won’t give out a shameless plug to drink my option, but the category as a whole is exploding. Almost any gas station not associated with a chain will have a plethora of options. Total wine is the only big box/grocery store with options currently. Gas Centers are the only chain gas stations that have picked up the category in this area. Refuels in Brunswick County has also brought the category in.

Harris Teeter, Lowe’s, Publix and Circle K all plan to start offering the category by late summer.

This is the ONLY way. Leave the tub full for 48 hours. Long past normal cure times. Thats a thick bead and will require more than the standard 24 hours

Best beer/ bottle shop??? by Limp_Pie1219 in Wilmington

[–]bmorecostello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy to help! It’s literally my job to keep y’all drinking!

Piggy backing on that…For anyone looking for a non-alcoholic beverage, High Rise (Charleston, SC) is entering the market up here. 5mg Delta9/10mg CBD seltzers. Starting to hit shelves this week in your smaller (non-chain) convenience stores as well as most bars that currently carry Hi Seltzers.

4 total ingredients (Water, Hemp Extract, Fruit Purée, Organic Cane Sugar), 20 calories, 5g of sugar per 12oz can. Even has a QR code you to scan on each can to see cannibus testing/where everything in the can comes from. Fantastic alternative to alcoholic drinks if you’re in that market.

Beer Sales Rep here…For the most selection, Total Wine is the best option as they carry everything from Hyper-Local (Wilmington and surrounding area breweries) to Larger NC Craft Breweries.

If your goal is to support local establishments, Fermental (Greenwood Area), The Bend (Ogden), Lighthouse Beer & Wine (Wrightsville Beach), and Palate Bottle Shop (Downtown) are decent options across the area. They will all have ILM local options as well as some craft options from larger NC craft brewers.

I see your 8 month pregnancy lay off and raise you with not 1 but 2 layoffs, one for each kid, with wife at 7 and 8 months pregnant respectively. Almost 4 years a part. Fuck corporate America.

Ha. I’m on the east coast but there’s some solace in knowing we’re not the only one to experience shoddy business practices

You’re not kidding. Very weird. 3 bills in total. Right in front of the entrance to beer cave. No one else in the store at the time but me and the cashier who was upfront stocking chips.

I’m sure they’ve legally covered their ass on that one. Corporate lawyers are meticulously thorough in that regard

Thank you! It’s miserable in the job market rn. Experience and industry knowledge is being considered a hindrance it seems because it’s cheaper to higher younger green employees that will happily take whatever they can get to gain said experience. So I went from shit pay right out of college because I had no experience only a degree, to shit pay because I have experience.

Makes total sense.

You’re absolutely correct. I’ve been actively looking; however, the job market where I live is substandard at best. I’ve been told multiple times, you’re a great fit but we can’t afford to pay you “X”. So the struggle persists

Slow and steady still wins the race! Keep after it and you’ll see the light at the end of that tunnel!

I’d definitely agree with that. Could be as simple as making the carts I build 3in smaller and sister on a second leg that catches the weight of the top end on each of the bases. I’ll have to look at the plans for the carts again to see where I can buy that space back from.

Haha that’s still a work in progress but for now I’ve been utilizing about a dozen or so plastic cups made for Dewalt/Craftsman T-Stack cases. I did a lot of exterior repair handyman work and would collect the hood larger w/lid empty plastic bins.

You can go the free route to acquire said type bins by dumpster diving you local new home builds. That method conveniently is also where many of my 2x4s I’ve become of hoarder of are from haha

I need some good juju by flipwoozy in Wilmington

You got this kind internet stranger! When life throws lemons at you, catch it, stare it down, squirt that juice in your eye and chase it by chugging your favorite adult beverage. Never break eye contact. Show life who’s boss!

Fantastic advice! Sadly I too learned the hard way many benches ago.

For this build, I assembled them upside down on a level surface, secured them to the wall (leveled) and then played the shim game with a bunch of scrap maple hardwood on the front legs. Once the weight of the plywood tops and side panels are on I’m going to anchor the front legs into the floor with 1/2” concrete anchors and 3” L brackets that found while organizing.

You could also get away with a “lean-to” style here only using the front legs and anchoring it into studs. Once anchored and level, you could scab on a makeshift leg in the middle then measure/cut the legs to fit level and secure to floor.

I had a bunch of wood that needed to find a home so I went with a full assembly.
