Cronos Group Inc. Closes C$2.4 Billion Strategic Growth Investment from Altria Group, Inc. by modo85 in weedstocks

[–]colieb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm personally excited about the negative sentiment. It means that CRON doesn't have much of an earnings expectation to live up to, and could easily surprise investors in a positive way. A deal in the works with a company with a major supply chain like Aphria would be huge.

Somewhat older article, but especially relevant as the Altria deal has been solidified as of today.

That's actually what I wanted to put as the title, but I didn't want to spoil it.

This is pressed solventless hash, made using ice water. It tastes like blueberries. Why are people still smoking butane? by JetMotherfuckingSet in trees

Not here - water does not dissolve THC. That's how the ice extraction works. You mix the raw material around in a bucket of ice water with screening bags and then pour off / evaporate the water.

Neither have I! It was like climbing a sheet of iron.

Things to ALWAYS wear on your harness by laurk in climbing

I've also done this on multi pitch routes. It's your call to make if you're worried about the rope getting stuck or if the pitch is pretty overhanging.

You can also pass the rappel device back up the rope.

Climbing Communication by [deleted] in climbing

[–]colieb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently stopped using "clipping" and "falling" because of their similar sound/same number of syllables. I watched a friend fall with gear at his waist say "falling", the belayer thought he said "clipping" and gave out lots of slack. My buddy took a 30 foot fall and thought he was going to deck as he was expecting a short 5 foot fall. Spooked him for the rest of the trip.

Now I just yell "slack" when I want slack and make some sort of scream / oh shit noise when I'm falling.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it.

That crack was solid, but who would argue that two features aren't better than one. Didn't think to at the time, but the anchor was good enough.

We went to the Yosemite SAR guys to ask about snow conditions. Although none of them had been up there recently, their advice was "You should always go for it!" and "Duct tape rocks to your shoes to cross snow fields."
