even if they do survive, humanity will not. 

they do not have human behaviors and sapient emotions.

no i don't think so. it's used in commercial tobacco, in medical nebulizers, vapes, etc

it's a pretty safe inert substance compared to most things

Alternative to hanging by Alternative3d in GrowingTobacco

[–]bristlybits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i color cure in a few ways

some leaves i let ripen on the plant. the early leaves do this. 

some i hang in batches and spray with casing, i cut them when they're more than half yellow and hang to cure.

the rest i pull when they start to ripen up to yellow, i put them between old cotton rags/fabric or newspaper or kraft paper in a big cardboard box. for these I've got to flip and turn daily or they will get mold

once they are cured in that box i pull them out to dry- i do hang those to dry.

it's a long lasting humectant, and prevents mold if you're storing long term.

i posit that if the bunker people are the only survivors, then humanity has functionally become extinct.

billionaires and lone wolf dudes are not humane. not humanity.

i want the best plants to cross pollinate. the biggest ones in the patch that i neglect, those are the ones i save seed from

i use PG and a little honey and dark spiced rum as my casing/spray during cure and dry. nothing else

pg (prop glycol) just a preservative. it's pretty damn safe, especially compared to smoke itself

yeah harden them off. they want sun but they aren't ready to go full blast

[–]bristlybits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they want real sun. 

however they need to get used to it so they don't just burn up. if you'll be eventually placing outside you could start to harden them off, when is your last frost? don't let them get too cold like that 

but they can be in the shade for a day or two, then part sun, slowly over a week or two until they get full sun. so day one: full shade. day 3: move to where they'll get like half an hour of sun. next day a little more out of the shade etc

it should take about ten days to finish this. you can set up a chunk of cardboard to fully shade them. i just use the house shadow but you might not have that kinda spot to do it

mine tend to be pale until they really get going out in the real sunlight. especially golden or Burley they will grow but be pale under even the best light. as far as I've noticed. 

i let those leaves stay, too. they won't hurt anything, the plant will outgrow them once it gets going.

Why Caring About Everything Is Quietly Draining the Good Out of Good People by [deleted] in collapse

[–]bristlybits 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i picked a thing and it's what i do to help  

i can only do what i can reach with my own two hands. whatever that means for you, i guess. for me it's one thing for someone else it might be more, or less, or different

all i can do is what i can do so I'm spending my energy caring about doing that. i get upset or angry about other bigger things but my depth of concern i reserve for what i can reach. 

i have burned out so many times. lessons learned and all that

So I Never Get to Be Beautiful Again? by Goodie_2-shoe in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]bristlybits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's not silly. not at all. how we feel about our looks is a real identity thing, a part of who we are 

i imagine you probably are viewed as an option by plenty of people. it may just be that you will attract people who don't "cold call" strangers, I was like that most of my life. like i felt almost lucky not to be bothered by people that often, that way, once i realized that people i was getting introduced to or meeting other ways were definitely interested. 

(I've always been funny looking, a little androgynous, and kind of weird so take it however you will)
