Wow, people just immediately proved your point in replies.

You make a really excellent argument! People have been in essence vaping weed via hookah and shisha for a long time. Mixing weed into your shisha doesn’t result in a full combustion. The steam chalice tweaked the design to remove the shisha, but it was still in essence the design borrowed from something that’s been used since antiquity. But it was still like the invention that basically every stoner in the world, let alone anyone who visited Jamaica, had in their head

The modern electronic vape movement, which arguably started in coffee shops in Amsterdam in the 90’s, started introducing electronic temperature control. Which imo is what I mean when say modern vaping.

But yeah, don’t disagree with you at all. I would maybe say forced air was never developed beyond volcano cause they patented it and very aggressively protect it.

That’s fair, steam chalice became popular back in the 70’s. I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers. The steam chalice was in every stoners head back then and informed a lot of innovation.

That’s actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.

His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.

I agree with you, but also the communist bad vs capitalist bad meme war and the corresponding comments are the only reason I’m still on the fediverse.

With no conservative presence to speak of, you get to see why no unity is possible between groups of any significant size. Leftists will continue to shatter into smaller groups and those groups will vie for dominance inside of the movement. Each group will develop purity tests to identify members.

Even amongst groups of capitalists, even amongst groups of communists, even amongst groups of lgbtq+ people and the sub groups to which they apply. Especially when those groups interact.

The human animal is amazing! The only thing most people agree on is violence is required to move society in any significant direction. That tells you everything you need to know about humans.

I’ve been a windows user since the very beginning of my computer journey, I had no interest in Linux, windows met my needs entirely.

I installed Cachy OS rather than upgrade to windows 11. I know a lot of people have either irritating and difficult to solve, to even system breaking issues with Linux, but not me. This shit just works and I don’t miss windows at all.

I mean fuck, you can just run a program called bauh that let’s you find any program you want to install with a simple search and gives you multiple ways to do it. The flatpack install method could not be more friendly to a windows refugee.

Seriously consider trying Linux if you are tired of windows. I was worried enough I just took out the m.2 with my windows install and threw in a new one for Linux, so I could go right back if I wanted, I might burn that SSD.

Xitter deletes critical notes all the time. The critical note only stays if it doesn’t offend someone that can talk directly to Elon.

Highly recommend Cachy as well. The only issues I’ve had running games are the games that do funky windows calls, like checking if edge is installed, before running well.

Cuomo: I’d like to thank New Yorkers for showing up in such an incredible way to vote me back in. Who would have thought we could have such an amazing turnout! 178% of registered voters is truly a mandate!

Comparable results AJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHA!

I’m sorry, I sneezed.

The fact that it’s lasted as long as it had is an incredible indictment of Russia. You are conflating the war time economy Russia has morphed into out of necessity because they’ve been so deadlocked. That’s not counting the battle and infrastructure damage they continue to suffer at the hands of a small nation with a comedian leader using acme tnt taped to drones.

Ukraine, a former nazi state using munitions that were used against them in WW2, required Russia to retool their entire industry to get the land equivalent of the parking lot of a Wendy’s.

No matter how you slice it, it’s pathetic. Frankly China will likely sell munitions to Nato when the money is there if it’s against Russia.

Like seriously, you realize how far off you are from reality here.

Profit motive doesn’t equal capital investment. Watch how fast the machine moves when profit motive meets profit opportunity. I saw this hollowed out line repeated a whole bunch, your latest mantra?

“There is no industry in Bah Sing Se”

Unfortunately my recently rested and bathed friend, Russia is barely moving a war against a tiny nation getting scraps compared to even 1 day of munitions used killing Palestinians. It’s not even hard to debunk this one, you just sound silly.

Wow, you’re so wrong in this you’re actually getting negative in your hugbox, that’s wild. Guess you can’t win em all.

It’s cute you think the military industrial complex is so weak, or that the near moritorium on long range ballistcs hasn’t been incredibly beneficial to Russia.

In reality, the second money starts pouring into a European war effort, all thoughts of AI will be gone, they’ll be pulling apart gpus for spare silicon for the war machine. That’s profit at an unbelievable scale.

Like this almost feels like cope…
