Did they give the baby treats?

He's picky and turns away in disgust from most dry crunchy treats, but he loves the walks anyway

this dog has been taking dumps in, on, and under bushes since I got him, but recently I found a particular bit of landscaping with bushes at JUST the right height for him to plop a deuce into so it vanishes forever. if I take him there he will preferentially use them and it's incredibly convenient



he's used to snow and cold so 90+ sucks, 3 am walks when it's 70 degrees out are the best solution we've found to this bullshit

[citation needed], the Serious Dog People I hang with are uniformly unconcerned and these are people who would be absolutely flipping out if presented with compelling evidence cov-2 was a risk to dogs, so that's whose advice I've been rolling with

I dunno if I’d trust the cdc either. But taking more risks out of that distrust doesn’t quite pass the sniff test.

I don't specifically disbelieve the CDC on its face, but they have poo poo the bed repeatedly with their messaging so grain of salt and etc; that link specifically is the same "it can happen but we have no numbers whatsoever" their page about pets has been since the pandemic started. However, some of those non-cdc links have some useful numbers:

quote:

Six of 154 cats (3.9%) and 7 of 156 dogs (4.5%) tested positive for COVID-19, while 31 cats (20.1%) and 23 dogs (14.7%) had coronavirus antibodies. All 11 pets that underwent a second round of tests after another 1 to 3 weeks tested positive for antibodies, and 3 cats still were positive for COVID-19. The animals had no or mild symptoms.

Single digit odds of a pet who LIVES with a positive person also getting it, with all cases being no or mild symptoms

quote:

A team led by veterinarian Dorothee Bienzle of the University of Guelph in Ontario investigated potential COVID infection in 198 cats and 54 dogs. All of the dogs and 48 of the cats came from a household in which at least one person had COVID, and the rest of the cats came from an animal shelter or neuter clinic. The team found that two out of three cats and two out of five dogs whose owners had COVID had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, indicating they had been infected with the virus at some point, too. But in the shelter group, less than one in 10 cats had these antibodies. And in the neuter clinic, the figure was less than one in 38.

Dogs and cats that came from households in which owners had COVID also often developed symptoms of the disease, Bienzle and her team report. Between 20 and 30 percent of the animals experienced loss of energy and appetite, coughing, diarrhea, runny nose and respiratory problems. The complications were mostly mild and short-term, but they were severe in three cases.

Of course, they don't expand AT ALL on "severe in three cases", fuckers.

The third article is speculative - they think there might be dogs and rats in the sewers with it but they haven't been able to follow up. And the sanitary conditions in an NYC sewer are so incomparable to anywhere you're gonna walk a dog in reality, so it's kinda moot here

The impression all that gives me is that, even in close contact like a pet living with an infected person, it still doesn't seem to go human -> dog at nearly the rate it will sweep through a house full of people. Working backwards from there, being in a store for ten minutes is fuckin fine

I grind it finer through an old pepper mill I cleaned out, and dump it in chocolate drinks. the bitter and sweet work together surprisingly well. I have no idea what the dosing does but like a tbs of the powder in an 8 oz mug of cocoa is really delicious

I notice people suggesting the $60 dynavap alongside $200+ electric units, is it THAT much better than the rest of the herb vapes in the 2-digit price tier? The ones I've tried for $50-70 that ran on batteries have been functional to varied degrees, but not up to the volume desired.

It's especially funny to me here in a free state; the handful of companies that insist on dying on that hill are the ones getting hosed the hardest by "nobody wants to work!!!1" currently. A trucking company near me (who is stuck testing, due to federal laws) keeps raising their base pay, but no one cares; $30 an hour you can't spend on weed is less useful than $11 that you can, so people look elsewhere. (I offered to do it for $50/hr and haven't heard back, lol)

The same laws apply to school bus drivers, except the districts can't/won't raise pay to match, so they're looking at numbers like 50 applicants for 80 open bus routes at the start of the school year

The other day I went far enough in the cart process to see what they charged for shipping on a dynavap; today they sent me a coupon code for free shipping, and it worked for ALL the shipping speeds. 11/10 good customer service

i also thought the taste thing was bullshit, but its actually really noticeable if you use an herb vaporizer at the right temp. 'terps' are real, at least in terms of taste. i dunno about actual psychoactive effects from them specifically tho

What is the "right" temp? The few strains that have given me anything, have been one or two actually nice-tasting huffs followed by the same acceptable-but-indistinct taste as everything else, at every notch in the heat range of my pulsar

I've discovered that the Dynavap with low temp cap attached to a bong is where it's at in terms of consistency.

On its own, I've found the dynavaps first hit was always hot and flavorful, but had no cloud density. I tend to get clouds of varying density on the 2nd through 4th hits though using a single torch. After that I find it's better to pack a fresh bowl.

With the rubber attachment and the bong I can get clouds right off the bat though. The downside to the bong though is that the flavor of the first hit is basically gone, and the first hit is really the only time I get real flavor from my flower.

I guess the sweet spot for trying new strains will be to taste it with the dynavap straight, then use water filtration afterwards.

I have experimented similarly and concluded that I don't get it. I have no issues flogging a bowl completely out directly from the device itself; introducing the bong just makes my nice flavorful hits the taste and temperature of tap water, which is actively worse in every possible way than even the last, gnarliest hit from a nearly dry bowl.

e: my takeaway here is that either I'm more tolerant of the vapor than average, or I'm possibly still using the device suboptimally - I see dudes on reddit or whatever ripping ridiculous clouds out of the things that eclipse anything I have accomplished with mine, so clearly I know less than everything still

the very phrase "stem milk" fills me with disgust.

the dynavap condenser is really nice for this purpose, all the goop accumulates in a metal tube you can just heat up to melt it and drip it onto a fresh bowl or whatever. Or you can just annihilate it with a pipe cleaner if you don't want to be bothered.

did it actually work though?


I have a lot of AVB, but im afraid of processing it into edibles because I feel like it’s a prank to get me to eat this poo poo and I won’t get high. My v-tower vape already makes me feel like I’ve been duped

The results were so absolutely disgusting that I haven't been willing to put them into anything. So effectively, no, I guess.

seems like cbd hemp would work identically for that purpose. an overpriced 8th in a ~cbd shop~ is like $15, but those are basically convenience samples with the url of the grower on them, who will ship you an ounce for $40. and I bet a cbd roach from a thc joint would be pretty close to a 1:1 dab, shiiiit this is giving me ideas
