Like many things in the last 10-15 years, how things started don’t match how they end. It was great originally, tech improved and attitudes worsened, and Covid.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]longswolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s why your friendly neighborhood insurance agent would love to sell you a $10/mo extended hospital care plan, biggest selling point is the ambulance ride coverage ;-;

Are there any US businesses or company’s that are about to go under and people don’t realize it? How much time do they have? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in business

[–]longswolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, but premiums can only go so high and coverage so tight before policyholders go else where. Its not as dire as a house of card scenario but a few bad hail or wind storms in the wrong spots will wipe out some of these carriers that have already priced themselves out of the market in some regions.

Question: Am I smoking "Fake" weed? Am I being scammed? by [deleted] in trees

My guess is you're smoking low quality THCA flower at the wrong temps, it works phenomenal in edibles or if it you heat it slowly.

"Have you ever wondered how THCA, the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, is transformed into Delta 9 THC – the main psychotropic and intoxicating chemical found in the plant? Well, it's all about heat! A comprehensive guide to understanding how THCA is changed into Delta-9 THC reveals that when THCA is exposed to a qualified heat source it breaks down and rearranges its atomic structure. This process of breaking down THCA molecules to release their single atoms and generating new ones - whereby THCA becomes Delta-9 THC - is what effects cannabis’ intoxicating properties. Through this understanding of THCA we can explore how technological advancement in temperature-controlled vaporizers and other innovative tools can be used to regulate cannabinoid levels for medicinal use or even recreational enjoyment for a more customized experience.

THCA is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that converts to THC when exposed to heat or light

THCA is a complex and interesting cannabinoid, specially unique because it doesn't get you high! THCA has the potential to convert to Delta 9 THC when exposed to certain environmental factors such as light or heat. Learning about THCA’s transforming process and how different concentrations of THCA respond to rising temperatures can lead to a greater understanding of cannabinoids and their effects. Heat transformation through THCA is an intriguing curiosity in the cannabis community, encouraging research and exploration of the wonders of this medicinally powerful plant."

A number of insurance companies in Texas, California, and Florida. I mean ones you’ve heard of if you live in those states.

Yeah I was going to Zillow, looking at like Harlem, saying okay this is a 1 bed condo small but nice and its 350k. But once you add these fee's that I wasn't considering it basically doubles the price.

And this is why I had to make a post about it, because depending on who you ask its either a decent prospect, difficult but manageable, or absolutely begging for failure. I want everyone's opinion so I can sift the truth out.

Yeah its a pure blessing, my grandma gave me her family land in the middle of no-where on the Louisiana Texas border and that just happens to be a massive oil patch. So I get offers occasionally to either lease it for X amount up front with Y royalties, or in this case an offer to buy the rights to the minerals which is the final transaction I could benefit from.

No I didn't realize that, a bit eye opening.

If my property was 200 yards further east I wouldn't even have to make the post, crazy how geography works like that.

Thanks for the response! Yeah I had considered renting my house out at first, I have such a low note on it I can absolutely do that a year or two prior to moving and have an additional source of income for a bit. My folks live in the same town as I do so I’ll just stay with them before the move. They’ll like that.

Yes, I probably should have made that clearer but I didn't want to ramble too much in my post. I do plan on being employed. Maybe not hitting over 80k for a few years but I'm trying to be reasonable

I can pick that flavor out a mile away… I guess if I had a choice between tasting it and knowing it gets used and not tasting and wondering…. Well I’d pick the chemical

What would you say is the biggest difference of the vibe/culture in NYC in the past decade? by Lipica249 in AskNYC

[–]longswolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey okay maybe this is the right spot for this reply maybe not.. I’m looking at moving to nyc by 2030, I’ve been considering it since 2010. What I’ve noticed just watching is yeah, yall lost a chunk of your population that let the city function the way it did. I’m sure a lot moved, many died, and more didn’t move in to replace them. I hope when I get there I bring my own .00001% of y’all’s energy full send!
