  • i long for the thc-laden edibles of my homeland

    I got a magical butter machine and their decarb box to make edibles a lot cheaper than the retail cost here in southern Ontario. Despite the name it can do more than just butter. I like to make infused coconut oil. It stores well long-term, it doesn't have much of a weedy taste, it works great as a drop-in replacement for vegetable oil in recipes. And I can easily dilute the infused coconut oil with regular coconut oil if I want to vary the strength. Virgin coconut oil as a mixer is even better because it's great at hiding the weed taste.

    One of my favourite ultra-easy ultra-quick edibles recipes is for pot chocolate bark. Melt 100 grams of coconut oil in whatever infused/non-infused combination you like. If you have a double boiler you'll have more time to properly mix the ingredients, but in a pinch you can microwave the oil too.

    Quickly add in about 10 grams of vanilla extract, 75 grams of cocoa powder, 50 grams of raw honey. Mix them very thoroughly, then pour into a 20cm x 20cm square pan, and smooth it out to an even height. Freeze it immediately. I usually do a 50/50 mix of infused oil and regular oil. This makes nice slightly-sweetened dark chocolate edibles that barely have any weed taste and store well in a freezer. For the same cost as about 20-ish cheap chocolate edibles at retail prices, I can get maybe 600-ish squares of a typical retail size. The machine and the decarb box basically paid for themselves after the first batch.







  • Despite his incoherent ideology these days, I'm still a fan of Snow Crash and The Diamond Age. The latter because there's some genuinely insightful class consciousness / class warfare stuff in it (despite the insane ending). And the former because it's batshit crazy fun that reads like an action movie, but also has the occasional nugget of insight like the line "It was, of course, nothing more than sexism, the especially virulent type espoused by male techies who sincerely believe that they are too smart to be sexists."




  • Maybe its just me but IMO those old theories about how someone in New Zealand is going to survive in a bunker is just extreme copium, borderline delusion.

    Unless the bunker-dwellers have a foolproof air supply independent from surface construction, they were always high on copium anyway. Some concrete down the vents will end their secret-bunker fantasies real quick.
