v for frequency?

THere was his urban league trainee who typed up an engineering paper thinking omega was w, but the professor said, if all the omegas were w he didn't minf. Of course, you realise the small N in Greek looks like a v. In Greek it is pronounced Knee but in English Knew.

He micro-doses a THC tincture in a capsule, at bedtime. As either Cheech or Chong said, "barely enough to get a fly high".

The stuff being grown in Europe under UV lamps is excessively high in the paranoia inducing chemical and rather low in the dopamine inducing one.

The days of Afghani black, Lebanese gold, and Nepalese temple balls are long gone.

It's pronounce noo as in EEE equals aitch noo

It helps? I'd tried CBD oil. I don't know what I expected but I noted absolutely no effect. Might have been a coincidence but after a slightly increased dose cleaned out my gastrointestinal tract I shelved it.

It helps him sleep. I'm not sure what it does for pain.

He's tried CBD. One of the oils had the effect you reported.

In real life, it makes for a thug-ocracy like Haiti.

Some parts of the US seem to be heading that way. Absolutely no shortage of laws and regulations, but an extremely discretionary attitude to enforcement.

Indeed. The mythical wild-wild-west from mid 20 century films.

In societies where it would appear that people are polite because they're armed, it's usually the case that they're polite because that's what society expects of them.

Ah, maybe it wasn't just me. I tried the gummies first without any noticeable effect either. Besides being expensive they tasted like a roach rolled in sugar.

Maybe some people get a benefit from CDB but not me. I'm pragmatic. I take turmeric which is supposed to be good for joints. I wouldn't swear one way or the other but the stuff is cheap. Something that is expensive and doesn't seem to have a benefit gets cut from the list fast.

The other part of the equation is the habitat has a very small population. Like a small town being a prick is not a long term plan. It's a long series and it will be interesting to see how it develops.

Another author I enjoy, Fran Porretto, is less optimistic in his Spooner trilogy. Flee the Earth to avoid tyranny and eventually try to reinvent it.

Dueling might be a little extreme but I grew up in a tough, decaying mill town. Being an asshole could have consequences. The internet is the worse case; you can bark like a junkyard dog with no consequence. Why be reasonably polite if nobody is going to physically kick you in the balls?

I'm not sure it's not a chicken and egg scenario. In another post I mentioned the sort of town I grew up in. People were generally polite but there was the realization that if you were habitually abrasive you would get your ass kicked sooner or later. That didn't mean there were continuous brawls but the potential was there.

Of course you can overdo polite like 4 Swedes at a 4-way stop. 'No, you go first, I insist' ad infinitum. I have always been interested how a society develops its standards of conduct. The Swedes are an exaggeration but why are some societies polite and orderly where others are boorish? What happens when you take a polite place like Minnesota and introduce a population from a dog-eat-dog third world setting?

At last a considered, interesting, philosophical statement.

Maybe because that way people help you more.

Yeah, that's why he uses capsules. And makes his own, so he knows what kind of oil is inside.

$100 worth of THC tincture lasts him months. Much cheaper than some of the prescription stuff he takes. We end up in the Medicare Part D donut hole every year. (Which is why Biden's effort to regulate the price of 10 medicines he doesn't take makes us yawn.)

Because politeness fosters politeness.

I struggle with that every day on Usenet. The killfile helps; if I don't see assholes, I'm less inclined to lash out.

Wouldn't someone who is colour blind rely on the position of the lights? Top light is red, bottom light is green.

And thuggery fosters thuggery.

Humans are ultra-social, in that most of them get their beliefs and behavioral standards from the people around them, and not from principles. So a group has unstable, positive-feedback dynamics, Switzerland and Haiti being system states.

And some people would rather steal and rape to get what they want. That couples into the social positive feedback. A safe, productive, civil society needs forces to continuously push it in the right directions, to counter the natural feedbacks being seeded by the bad minority.

They used to hang petty thieves. Now they lock up the Tide.

Usenet, being mostly unmoderated, has terrible social dynamics. The jerks chase the good folks away. Insults become the norm. Envision positive feedback.

In suspect that the red and green lights look a different "colour" even to someone who has red/green colour blindness. The colour blindness cards will be designed to confuse colour blind people.
