THC is AFAIK the component that produces the high and CBD it’s counterpart that soothes.
- Comment on 'Reverse Solar Panel' Generates Electricity at Night 1 week ago:
Everywhere. You have to consider two points: Most light in our nightsky comes from the reflection of sunlight by the Moon. Secondly deep space is not the space between planets or even between the outmost planet and the Kuiper Belt.
It is the place between stars, which is lightyears in diameters and where every star is just a tiny dot in the sky. This is not enough available energy to power our current level of electronics via solar. Which is why i.e. the Voyager probes use RTGs as power source after they left the area of our solar system where solar power is viable.
- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 1 week ago:
The type of flail seen in your picture wasn’t used by the peasantry but nobility. Some crafty blacksmith probably saw drafted farmers take their threshing flail into battle as improvised weapon and thought about how to properly weaponize the concept. Also we are not talking about two flimsy sticks here. Flails used for threshing had to be sturdy as they needed to last the whole harvest season. They were made from hardwood and I can personally attest, that they are heavy indeed. The things one finds when clearing the grandparents barn …
As for the practicality of the weaponized flail: it was indeed of dubious use and it is questionable whether it saw widespread military adoption or whether it was the equivalent of “tacticool” gear of the middle ages. An iron club is indeed a more effective weapon and is commenly referred to as mace and if you take a look at a specific type of mace you can probably guess where the idea of the spiky ball came from.

Perfect! Thank you!
- Comment on Looking for "printable" fonts?! 1 month ago:
Once I have a space for a workshop or live somewhere near a maker space, a laser cutter is definitely on my bucket list. Not available at the moment.
- Comment on Looking for "printable" fonts?! 1 month ago:
Well, there are plenty of fonts available with these sorts of bars attached that can be printed this way. For example, I saved this font for another project. However, looking at it in the 3D render, the font seems too fragmented at this scale. Another option might be this one. But they both don’t fit the aesthetic I would like to have.
Yes, creating my own font is also viable, but I would prefer to not dig into another branch of creative work, as I tend to start too many projects at once, anyway.

- Comment on Epstein email exchanges planned strategy, edits and reported progress 2 months ago:
To show that this whitewashing is an international problem I would like to refer to the page of our “beloved” Chancellor Friedrich Merz. For years the running gag (and fact) about him was that his German article starts with “Friedrich Merz is a lobbyist and politician”. In this order. Lobbyist first, politician second. Since he’s been elected the first mention of him working as a lobbyist has been relegated to the end of the second paragraph.

Yes, we have stuff like HTTPS nowadays, but I think that given a certain importance of an application, transfered data should be encrypted on the application level as well.

I’ve recently noticed a lot of new accounts which post a whole series of news articles and then get deleted. Notot fake news or conspiracies but mostly reputable sites. No idea what’s going on there.

I.e. the TV channel Arte, which is a cooperation of French and German state media has a multipart documentary called Work, Salary, Profit that touches on a lot of fundamentals.
Of course there is always the option just to straight up read the original works by Marx, Smith and so on, but they are not for the feint of heart.

Well, to me that sounds a little like you prefer the term swimming over being called a swimmer.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 months ago:
Well, if you assume the farmer excludes others from using the means of production i.e. the fields, then yes you can argue that they are acting as capitalist. But you have to make the distinction between private and personal ownership: Private ownership of the land and personal ownership of the produce. The former is what communists reject. The latter is fine in their books.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 months ago:
It would certainly help a lot if you could tone down your condescending attitude a little.
I fail to see where anything you write is an actual argument against my distinction between different forms of working with the means to produce something. Yes, I’ve misread your vendor as a farmer, but that’s not a reason to go ad hominem.
