But cannabis the needs heat to convert, it’s more likely it evolved with Human influence considering the years of overlapping land races tied to our trade routes


THCa in cannabis plants is unstable. It will slowly convert to THC as it dries even at room temperature.


But CBD does not need heat to convert.

I have a hypothesis that taking cannabis (and especially CBD) out of our food chain may be contributing to the increase¹ in prevalence of chronic pain.

When was cannabis ever in the human food chain?


Livestock used to eat cannabis back when it was a weed.


While not being cannabis, breast milk contains endocannabinoids.


THC comes in a plant in the THCa form. CBD comes in CBDa form.

Both are not bioactive by default in their natural form.


All I'll say is go spend a day picking hops without gloves.

There are a large number of cannabinoids at play, some clearly (as in observably and demonstrably) are bioactive in their natural, unheated form.

None of which is said to endorse the other theory. Just to point out that claiming heat is required is incorrect.


The farm bill makes 'hemp' anything with below 0.3% THC legal. For this reason, we have a LOT of testing on the THC content of cannabis, since it is required to sell and manufacture. As it turns out, naturally cannabis quite commonly has >0.3% THC even before heating or activation of THCa.

Any human-like animal with our receptors eating a large amount would get high as fuck, cooked or not. A ruminant eating pounds of the stuff raw, would not be that different from a human consuming an ounce of baked pot.


This was killed in the recent budget bill: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/13/congress-thc-hemp-ban.html


Both degrade into actives over time or exposure to air/sun/warmth, and then into CBN, which is itself active.


Exactly my case, powerful Ubuntu setup, App sucks, Teams in Chrome sucks, but soon as I run on Edge, no problems


At my company we typically use Firefox with containers because Teams didn't have account switching. But then actually calling is so unstable we regularly have to switch to chromium.

Not surprised it properly works on Edge at all.


Edge on Linux is probably my current favourite browser and I kind of want to hate that.


I didn't even know they had Linux builds, but I guess it's shipped by their linux repositories.[1]

Rats are extremely predatory, I once as a kid worked at a Reptile importer and a handful of rats escaped, they destroyed the mice from under their screen/grated cages. Almost as traumatic as when I learned how to dispatch an adult rat on the side of the table before feeding it off to the reptiles at 15 years old.


Rats are not predatory, they’re resourceful. You didn’t witness what rats do in the wild, you witnessed abused rats doing whatever they could to survive. Rats will eat mice if they need to but they will not seek them out when other food sources are available. You can’t judge the behavior of rodents when they are feeders. Mice would do the same thing. As would you and I.


But then we see the rats hunting bats...


Hm, maybe I should get some rats to keep the mice out of my house. Of course then I'd have rats.


Get yourself a nice black rat snake. (Unironically, it drives me up a wall when I hear about people trying to exterminate snakes and spiders; the only reason those are around is because their food is.)


> the only reason those are around is because their food is

For some reason everybody in my city is proudly boasting bout the recent large capybara population... And again, for some reason those same people didn't react well when jaguars decided to show up in the urban area.

People are stupid.


We have all of the above and more. Alas, my wife is more afraid of our rat and pine snakes than she is of mice and rats.

Fortunately, the pine snakes only try to move into our house and sheds once or twice a year or so.


I have a black widow problem. Their food is flying insects.... Any tips?


I wouldn't worry about them. A few thousand people get bit by them every year but there hasn't been a fatality in decades. They're very unlikely to bite and very unlikely to cause any harm at all even if they do bite.

Maybe get some sticky fly paper though.


What eats them? (Really, from a distance they seem unbeatable.)


Daddy long-legs are known predators of Australian red-backs, while the American cellar spider supposedly hunts black widows.


Wasps


If you have mice you won't have rats. Mice can be a positive sign.


I have both. I've trapped both in the same trap on the same night.


Rats are brilliant animals, they’re just tiny dogs. If you treat your rats well, they would have no reason to attack mice and would co-exist (although your rats would probably get sick because of disease. Pet rats (fancy rats) are illness prone.)


Next step: get some turtles!


There was a study 5-10 years ago on Cannabis use and lung cancer, showing #1 cigarette smokers, #2 non-smokers and #3 cannabis smokers. Seems to be a ratio of healing properties combined with carcinogens that determine some of this? Then of course genetics, that seems broad as well.


There are many alternative explanations (aside from 'healing powers'), including that people with pre-existing lung issues which correlate with lung cancer (such as emphysema) are less likely to smoke marijuana.


It’s more about the qty of minutes/hours AI can crunch information for you, reducing the context switching or loss of context. A lot of the back and forth will go away, replaced with prompt and planning skills needing to be more specific, for long complex runs as needed, then clean up short runs based on UAT and QA inspection after.


Seeing spike in downdetector for Hulu access.


What alternative do you recommend?


same in MacOS intel Chrome browser.


I have had Cursor review all my file content solving similar things, but I would think it's limited to VSCode search capabilities and IMHO it's not great. I love how Pycharm handles indexing so search is fast and accurate. If they ever get agents going at the same quality as Cursor I would probably go to Pycharm for that advantage alone.


Cursor implemented their own code indexer so its RAG is not limited by VS Code search.


If they don't, it will be Cursor, Trae, Cline, Roo Code or Goose? Seems this is coming this year in a big way regardless if Copilot does it or not. I'm guessing we all have to pivot how we work or get left behind?
