In fairness, Ked, you actually do know **** all.  Please don't take that the wrong way.  You know very close to nothing about the pyramids, nor the societal structures, economy and engineering that was required to build them.  That's not a criticism, because most of the world's population know precisely the same amount. 

 

But there are people out there who know a lot more than **** all, and while the picture they have might be incomplete it is still considerably more thorough than yours.

 

So the fact that you don't know how it was done doesn't make it a source of complete mystery, wonder and surprise.  It's not actually all that surprising that human societies built stuff like the pyramids, or any of the other ancient "wonders".  Humans can do a lot of really out there stuff.  All they need is the right combination of factors to give them the resources to do it.

 

On the other hand, if you want to go out there and get the various qualifications and experience needed so you can tell me I'm talking through my hole, you fire right ahead and hopefully I'll be here in 15 or 20 years when you're qualified enough to do so.

WAKE UP the only thing thats been in space is your imagination

You are using the product of scientific endeavour and cutting edge engineering built upon centuries of technological innovation, which was massively speeded up by the space race - with all of humanity's information at your fingertips, and you believe that. This information has traversed the internet, which was developed due to the cold war/space race and uses technologies developed to support it. It may well have been bounced off a satellite that is just inconveniently for you, orbiting in geo-stationary orbit having been placed in space by a rocket. 

We have a growing space industry in Scotland, are they too just NASA shills then? Literally you have to throw away all our knowledge and indulge in the most ludicrous, global conspiracy involving everyone from astronauts, engineers, programmers, administrators, pilots, sailors, Universities, libraries, governments, space agencies, armies, navies, air forces, mobile phone manufacturers, Apple, Google, IBM, teachers, lecturers, encyclopedia writers, Wikipedia, hospitals, every country, including ones at war or in dispute with others - all keeping schtum 100% (except, naturally, some conspiracy theorist has "sussed it all out" and posted "the truth" on the internet), to support your belief. All Apollo moon landings faked with technology that DID NOT exist at the time, too. 

Or, alternatively, you are wrong. 

Occam's Razor suggests the latter, doesn't it?

NB I do not understand statistical probability, I could never even work out what sum I was meant to do!

 

But consider this.

 

A planet needs the perfect conditions to support life and the perfect seed to start it. It needs to exist, untwatted, for millions of years while that life evolves.

 

It needs to be in just the right part of space, at just the right time, for that life to mature into civilisation, to develop culture, and the technology to travel vast distances and reach us.

 

And then, after all that time and distance, it just so happens that they arrive during the tiny sliver of light that's your lifespan, and do nothing more than piss about in the atmosphere and hint at their existence.

"Nippy as fek" seems to be your benchmark.  It shouldn't be.

 

On a scale of 1 to 100, the people I'm talking about have knowledge in excess of 90 (and I'm being conservative here).  Meanwhile you and I are lumbering around at a level of less than 5 (and I'm being charitable to both of us here).  If you want to take these people on and discredit their years of learning, research and analysis, there are no ****ing short cuts.  You gotta do the years of learning, research and analysis.  You haven't, and until you do their smarts are waaaaaaaaaaayyyy more trustworthy and reliable than yours.  The reason you find what I post as "nippy as fek" is because you know what I'm saying is true and it spoils your fun.  Real science and learning are less entertaining than the made-up shite, but to be honest you kinda just need to get over that.

Hell i'm frequently high reading these threads at night. Just recently switched from smoking weed to cannabis vape cartridges. Much more potent and for me at least a lot cheaper than weed.

 

I think I may have been wasteful with weed, and let's face it, it's unavoidable that a good whack of it is just going to literally go up in smoke uncaptured.

 

A cartridge like this one which I have right now will last weeks and costs $15.99 or £12.89 at current exchange rates.

 

More efficient and cost friendly and healthier. Incidentally the THC content of a typical good quality weed is around 25%, check out the THC content of the cartridge. There are $5 cartridges just as potent.

That's not right, 99.21% is a lump of THC!

 

No matter how pure the extract is (maybe they reckon that's the 99% figure?), it has to be diluted by vape liquid, and as extracts don't mix directly they have to be pre treated with something like PEG 400.

 

The mixture really can't be much more than 40% extract I reckon, with the rest carrier and flavour.

 

 

I've been trying to make extracts again recently but it's just not satisfying enough to put so much green in and come out with such tiny amounts of rosin. Even if it is incredibly strong, it just feels like such a waste.

I've tried white spirit extract in the past, that was too easy to **** up time wise, the heat press method is my most recent attempt, I made a cool combination of t shirt press and vice.

 

I know deep down inside that I'll have to try making butane honey oil at some point, I suppose it's really the experimenting that I'm into.

 

I keep meaning to buy a couple of grams of shatter to make carts, I'll get round to it one day.
