Shatter is like 65% THC or something while the leaf is like 20% or something. Much more potent high.

First time I took a dab I thought it worked like a bong and almost killed myself.

/\ where you're at, yeah. Not that I know where you are, it's just a safe guess. Thank gently caress for Colorado.

Shatter varies 70-80% thc, wax can be higher but is generally just disturbed during cooling and butane evaporation, so it doesn't cool into a little stiff pane of thc. Flower is hitting 27-32% depending on what the dispensaries have, but good 18-25% stuff is half the price.

The flower that's breaking 30% is some heavily watched stuff. This isn't the kind of weed you grow in a backyard or a county road ditch, it's lab grown. But the genetics for 20-25% are more common now and don't require a lab to grow, but still a greenhouse.

The people growing weed outdoors now in Colorado are doing it for concentrates. It's not as difficult as it used to be to grow 15% stuff, and pounds of it on one plant, outdoors. It still requires sexing and culling and fertilizing and babysitting. The money isn't there for that stuff. I did see harvest sales last fall where outdoor was selling for under $100/oz, overwhelmingly seedless, but just didn't get the monitoring to peak in a grow room or green house.

This is all just perceived, but I know a few folks in different aspects of the field now. Going to be interesting the next few years.

I've been casually browsing CL and OfferUp for hard tail mountain bikes, trying to find a good hardrock with disc brakes for under $300. Almost got one for 200, then the dude upped the price to 3 because his dad yelled at him for selling his bike for so little. So the search continues until I can wreck myself on trails in style

we used to go out on the jettys during low tide and catch crabs with a clothespin and smashed mussels

you'd fill up a 5 gallon bucket with them, then we'd dump the bucket on the shore to see them race back to the shore

I asked a question about car insurance easier in the thread and I'm just curious if someone can explain this to me.

Backstory refresher:

My license got suspended for failing to pay a speeding ticket (because I elected to take the class so I paid a smaller fine, but Army happened and I forgot to take the class and forgot to pay the additional money). I moved and they sent the notice to my old address and I never received it and didn't know. I got pulled over and got a ticket for it. My car insurance skyrocketed to $300/mo. So I sold my car because I'm not paying $300/mo.

I got that ticket in June 2014. I paid it within a week and got my license reinstated.

It's three years for stuff to come off your driving record, so I called USAA assuming that this stuff would be coming off my record soon. But the date of conviction that the DMV sent is December 2014, even though I paid the ticket waaaayyyy before that time.

What caused the lag? Is this worth the hassle of dealing with the DMV to try and straighten it out?

Either way my insurance is way WAY lower (mostly because I'm not going to be financing the car this time) so I can easily afford it, I'm just kind of annoyed right now.

Catching crab is ridiculously simple. I used to catch four or five at a time just with a piece of chicken gizzard tied to a string.

Our crabs are little larger than the blue crab back east. I've seen peeps use bait tied up in panty hose cast out with a fishing pole. Realy gets snagged up on their claws.

your credit score, the length of your relationship with usaa and whether you have enlisted or officer usaa all matter.

i have a worse driving record and pay way less but have 14 years with usaa, family with 30 years+ and a high credit score.

edit: the lenght of time with them might not matter. i do know that being an officer/snco or a dependent of one gets you better rates than junior enlisted scum.

I'm not worried about the price. I understand all of that stuff.

The issue is the dates surrounding the ticket.

I got the ticket in June 2014. I paid it within a week. But my conviction date isn't until December, so that ticket that tacked eight points on my insurance is on my record until my conviction date.

My question is if I got the ticket in June 2014 and paid it relatively quick, why is my conviction date December 2014? Shouldn't it be closer to the dates regarding the actual ticket

Is this just how it is? Or should I hassle myself dealing with the DMV to straighten it out?

i think my point is that whether its been 2 years and 363 days or 3 years and 1 day, your rates probably aren't changing much unless you got commissioned or your credit score shot up a hundred points.

Okay then pretend I'm solely curious about why there's a 5-6 month gap between when I paid the ticket and the DMV's conviction date because saving $1 over six months is just that important to me.

I said the money is irrelevant. Read the very first sentence of what you quoted. I want to know why there is that huge gap between when I paid it and what the conviction date is.

Oh, good, management came, told him he has to move his poo poo out by Monday, otherwise they'll come back with police.



UNLESS, of course, he just applies via the online housing portal to submit the paperwork and go through the screening process and pays the application fee to be the legal tenant. They were so kind to waive all other fees. How very loving kind of them to make him my legal roommate for a casual fee after he's lived here for free for the last two months. Turns out his friend told him the apartment was "all paid up" until August, he just lied to me saying he pays him the rent.

What a wonderful loving day.

/edit
Like, management just told him they caught his other squatter friends impersonating the legal tenant, but they're still buying that he didn't know anything and was totally innocent :downs:

Update:

My unauthorized roommate had not been moving out poo poo the entire weekend, so I assumed that he would be going for the lease deal.

So I sent in a total of four complaints to the general and assistant general manager, the leasing managers, and asked the management team to send me copies of the maintenance reports from the days where maintenance caught the squatter's friends crashing in the living room on three different occasions. Went a little off the deep end and even internet-lawyered a little bit by claiming I had been "advised" that they cannot sign a new lease for a unit that is currently subject to ongoing eviction proceedings in court.

About an hour before noon today, I start hearing a rather annoyed roommate storming around the apartment and having shouting-matches with his girlfriend (again), shortly before I hear a lot of poo poo being moved around and the front door slamming over the past couple of hours. Half an hour ago, guy sends me a text pleading for me to not lock the front door this evening, because "they"'d be changing the locks at 5, and he needs more time to evac poo poo from the living room.
:lol:

I'm going to pretend I scared them into submission with my superior skills in paperwork and armchair-lawyering, but the entirety of management probably figured that the extra month of rent from the dude wasn't worth having a German dude bitch and moan relentlessly.
