I've been smoking for about 4 years now and have never come across any strains with a mint aftertaste until trying LA Kush Cake here

I had it in flower from Jungle Boys and also a live rosin vape from Trulieve

The effects are nice but I personally just didn't care for the taste. It's more like peppermint, not spearmint (that would be better imo)

Is that common for the way this strain is supposed to taste?

Maybe I'll have to go to Los Angeles and compare how it is out there lol

USA citizen here currently in Florida. 29 M, unemployed with a comp sci degree. I have zero friends, no confidence, and feeling stuck staying at home with my toxic family who are in a constant doom loop of watching the news without actually wanting to move out of here

Only heard about workaway today and sounds like it might be a good opportunity to get away for a bit!

Is this a good program for Americans looking to travel within the US? Or is it more geared for international folks? Going overseas would be nice but I've always wanted to live in California so thought this might be a good way to get out there without too much commitment

Currently waiting for the AI bubble to burst so I can go back to being a regular old programmer lol

Curious to hear your thoughts! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I can post elsewhere if that's more appropriate

Like the title says: What are some good vape strains that are best for putting your brain on vacation and NOT being functional?

I don't like smoking and edibles are hit or miss for me so I prefer vaping. I try to stick to these 4 (edit: 3) dispos for loyalty:

1. Jungle Boys (their distillate carts are surprisngly strong)
2. Trulieve (modern flower in both live resin and live sauz are good)
3. Flowery (occasionally they have some vapes that are heavy hitters but not too consistent in my experience)

Yes I have a high tolerance and yes I will be taking a break soon lol, I'm mostly asking for what to try first afterwards since I feel a little burnt out with the effects of my current rotation and want to try something new (for example I do a hit of 3 different carts to get my desired state when it would be nice to just have one)

Not necessarily put me to sleep, just to turn off my internal monologue. Some strains are better than others for that

Hey y'all! Looking for some recommendations from my Trulieve friends

I've shopping at TL lately and really been liking their vapes. I've only had Modern Flower so far but they've all been really good! Live sauz and live resin both were good but I can't really decide which is better since they each had nice effects and flavor

These are the strains I've tried from most to least favorite (no bad ones, all good!). I usually prefer indica leaning body highs:

1. Miami Queso
2. LA Kush Cake
3. Sly Look

(Random aside, I know this is weird but the MF vapes have an aftertaste reminds me of tootsie rolls lol, I love it)

Do you guys have any other similar recommendations for some good vapes to try at TL? My rec is getting close and cash is limited so I don't want to buy too much

Thanks in advance!

Just want some general discussion started on fully offline / air gapped systems

Not trying to make any statements or take sides / start fights. Genuinely curious and want to see what you guys think:

\---
Say tomorrow something catastrophic happens and we don't have internet. Power is still up and running for basic functions but for whatever reason the internet is down (environment/politics/etc.). Doomsday scenario I know, but just hear me out

Could we somehow create our own offline version of Claude/chatgpt using local models only? Not as powerful of course, but with say $2000 could you build a semi decent working version?

\---
I say all this because I think maybe the question I'm trying to ask is could we all somehow feasibly separate AI from the cloud providers in a long term effort to safely get out of this whole monopolization mess?

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this discussion, I can post somewhere else if needed. Just want to get some ideas going

I might be totally oblivious to something so I'm sorry in advance if I'm asking stupid question lol

Wonder if this means we might see Pencilvester again

If not then... why do you think I have one of *THESE* on my head? ✏️

But seriously though it would be cool to see the memory parasites show up again

Unironically loved Sleepy Gary and want to see more of him somehow

This might be more of a feature than a bug

Season 8 just feels like a sad adult drama with some comedic elements sprinkled on top

Before this show was a comedy with dramatic elements added occasionally

Some folks may like this but I'm really checked out. I fell in love with this show for the humor since it was a comfort watch but now it's just stressful and depressing to watch it

Moderate fan of Metric here, been listening since 2019 and seen them live twice. They're one of my favorites but they've been in that category of comfort listens where I know they're always going to sound about the same to me. Nothing bad about that though since I like the consistency sometimes depending on my mood

Their new song, Tremelo, completely changed that and really blew me away...

I was shuffling a bunch of random artists like Gorillaz, Tennis, St Vincent, etc. and then when this came on my first thought was Charli xcx (just a little bit like Boom Clap)

Like at 1:21 when Emily hits the higher register she sounds so unrecognizable and is a completely new style. And I am SO there for it! Plus when she pairs it with the whispery lower notes in the build up, it makes for such a cool contrast and is a completely new vibe that I've never heard them play before as a band

Emily's voice is so recognizable to me that I thought I've heard all the styles she was capable of until now so this just really makes me love her as a vocalist even more. Up there with Marina and Lauren Mayberry for me

Plus as a band overall this entire album is such a huge departure from anything else Metric has ever done. Closest I can compare it to is Pagans in Vegas for the electric synths. It's giving me some Naked and Famous vibes too, but with just slight melancholy shade evocative of some dystopian movie in some parts (like Gattaca or In Time)

(Sorry for all the comparisons, I could go on... it's just making me re-discover why I love the band in the first place. If it matters, I was only born in 96 so I'm definitely on the younger side of the Metric fans, plz be kind 😅)

What do y'all think about:
• Surterra
• Goldflower
• MUV

I haven't been to any of those dispos yet, are they worth checking out? I mainly go to Jungle Boys and Cookies but was curious about trying some other places if it might be worth it

Thoughts?

I'll upload comparison pics later

Think he'd make a great Brendon in bio pic

Shit, Brendon would make a great Brendon in a biopic

I know it's not a new opinion but...

Why couldn't he have just stayed back in time? That would have been the perfect ending for that type of character

I get the whole we-gotta-be-serious-and-make-it-realistic but it's just boring. These movies used to be fun when it was Spielberg

At least the Great Circle feels like classic Indy, even if we never got another proper movie
