Yeah, I'unno. Looked around a bit more and found articles saying stuff about a printing paper shortage going back to 2019, but I'm not seeing anything that suggests it's actually major or causing much meaningful disruption, especially not relative to other factors (mostly the human element, less folks willing to come in and work when we're still in the middle of a goddamn plague) or on a global scale. It definitely doesn't seem to be effecting the vendors I work with much, in any case...

For the first time in recorded meteorology (43 years), it has rained on top of the highest ice cap of Greenland.
So far there had only been snow.

[voliol]

By all means martinuzz, the temperature around ice caps increasing should place itself firmly in the ”terrifying” category, for all of us, and not least for someone living in the country renowned for mostly being under the current sea level :/. I know the banks won’t collapse in the first place, but I still can’t parse your ”mildly upset” comment as one lacking in dark sarcasm.

[martinuzz]

I half wanted to post it in the terrifying thread.
But with so many terrifying things going on everywhere, one gets a bit desensitised.
Now if it had been the first time it rained there in 100 or more years, I'd have swinged towards the terrifying thread.

Lots of rain coming down at the moment. Flash flood warnings in our area. Thankfully I'm on top of a hill and the stream beds go around us. And the clay won't absorb water and flow away. Hopefully. But that's also why flash floods are a possibility. Lots of thunder and lightning, very frightening. Hopefully no new fires with all the rain.

Very moist, actually chilly for the first time since May. Where do I even post a mixed bag of feelings? I don't know.

Man first the fire then the water, you need to spec in gear with allres.

Im upset at the circus health minister do around tabacco: when I was still a minor brands were forced to print nicotine and tar contents, that was good, and they allready had a label that smoking is harmful. You could tell a brand from the other side of the room, and you could know how much shit you're actually flushing down your body. Then they put shock images on there, yeah man gimme that gore porn -.- then they decided flashy colors cause addiction... Now its a black package with goreporn, and of course somewhere along the way the usefull stats were lost. OF FUCKING COURSE.

I want to make a nicotine extract with water and sprinkle that on vegetal matter. So not relying on the internet to tell me the nicotine content seems reasonable right especially since I'm pretty sure a small half of the sites are missing by a degree of magnitude, 1mg=/= 10-20mg... I thinker the latter is more correct.

Anyway, any chemically educated (wink wink poppa weird) able to tell me if it can ever work? E-liquids use glycerine and glycol but I feel like I should be able to simplify the recipy, aren't they just using that stuff to make more visible vapor and make it come out quicker?

[Eric Blank]

I have no idea what youre planning, but from working in a smoke shop I know nicotine is skin soluble and dangerous even in very small quantities if you get the e-juice liquid on your skin. I would suggest not ingesting it or handling it, use only as directed in e-cigs. Remember, they're vaporizing an extremely tiny quantity at a time. Dont sprinkle that shit on your salad.

Why are you giving plants nicotine?

[JoshuaFH]

Why are you giving plants nicotine?

To get them hooked of course. You gotta get them while they're just buds.

[Bumber]

Why are you giving plants nicotine?

Because they can't handle their weed.

if you want a plant that doesn’t make it to start making it, you will need to find out how nightshade plants make it, copy the genes responsible, and get those genes into the recipient
Yes I saw the Simpson’s episode

[martinuzz]

Giving your plants nicotine would make sense if you are trying to control insect pests. Nicotine original function in the tobacco plant is pesticide.
I wouldn't use it on anything grown for food though.

[dragdeler]

Thanks for the headsup erik, it's definitly a reminder that was in order given the dosages I aim for....

Tomacco! I think it is in order that I rewatch the simspons s4-s17


IDK how much is advisable to share, but basically I am fiddling with a setup that would create pyrolisis and avoid combustion via the nicotine/water extract keeping the thing humid. The goal is to consume in one breath what would take 1-2 minutes at 220°C. I want it to get hot AF without lighting up and also have nicotine well because I smoke.
