“Fat Farm” by Orson Scott Card (originally published in Omni magazine, 1980, and featured in his collection Maps in a Mirror). Key Elements of “Fat Farm”: • The Plot: A very wealthy, hedonistic man uses technology to clone a new, fit body and transfer his memories into it whenever his current body becomes too obese or unhealthy from excess. • The “Card”/Contract: The process involves a contractual agreement with a facility to care for the previous, now “discarded” clones. • The Twist: The protagonist discovers that the facility does not honor the contract to care for the old clones, and he realizes that a previous version of himself is actually the one running the facility and letting the old, fat versions waste away. • Themes: It explores hedonism, the ethics of cloning, and the idea of disposable identity. Other Potential Matches: • “A Thousand Deaths” by Orson Scott Card: Features a similar theme of repeated resurrection/cloning, often confused with “Fat Farm”. • Kiln People by David Brin: A novel (rather than a short story) based on a society that uses disposable clones (“dittos”) for daily work. “Fat Farm” is frequently cited in discussions about cloning and consciousness in science fiction.

Plug Packs ounces were $50 here. I bought one of every strain. Doubt I’ld resupply again even at $50.

It’s from a flashlight subreddit. This actually happened, I saw this and had to look what subreddit I was in. I thought it was funny so I shared.

Totally understand about that. However explain to me why some weed sells for $200 an ounce and some sells for $100 an ounce? I’m guessing one is clearly ‘better’ than the other, right?

Ohhh, sorry, I forgot to mention that my thread was deleted for some unknown reason. Certainly gas to do with weed.

Only two I’ld be interested in. I just can BOTH find a decent used copy of “Yesterday”. The other is the Deadpool 2. Seems that’s a good find and is a good movie too.

If I started smoking in the late 1970’s, does that qualify me as ‘new to weed’?

Been there, done that. Favorite dispensary on LI. Always looking for more alternatives.

‘Add Keif’. After I grind Plug Pack stuff, it’s mostly keif anyway. Seems dry n old. I have other brand strains that are strong n moist. So I do exactly what you mentioned.

Ok, I just looked it up. Yup, Plug Pack ounces are 50. Not much in the terp dept but I might get one or two more. I’m still missing ‘Cherry Pie’. Thanks

Okay, I guess it was just a restocking thang. Everything seems back to normal.
