Only went to a casino once. I only spent the free roll of tokens they gave us as part of the hotel goodies, 10.00 worth in the slot machine while the hubby sat at the bar. after putting all the tokens in only once, I won 110.00 enough to stay drunk for the rest off the day. Never had the urge again. I guess I’m glad I didn’t get hooked on it
When passing through Reno airport, I used to stick any quarters in my pocket into a slot machine and almost always won a jackpot. Not surprising, if I continued to stick the jackpot into the machines, I always left short of what ever quarters I started with.
I don't gamble at cassinos because I hate to lose too much to play games where the odds are stacked in the favor of the house.
Goooode morning and merry Weedsday brothers and sisters!
53F here @ 86% RH cloudy start and gorgeous clear blue-sky afternoon predicted to reach 76F.
In the low 90's yesterday so Miss Layla took short walks and spent lots of time in front of the fan. Cooler today so some catching up to do.
Mostly recovery yesterday, as both follow-up contacts were out of their offices, so more follow-up on the Sunday roundtable on the Medusa Stone Diamonds today.
Thus far it appears that it may be related to the methanol injected into denser asphaltic crudes to make them flow through the piping better, and the Diethanolamine used to remove the methanol, leaving both still present in the parts per billionth level.
Another avenue being investigated is the release from the national reserves, which is sour because it stores better. Petroleum is sour because of the presence of various sulfur compounds, which are still present in PPB levels after refining.
Whichever, or whatever it is, causes the crystalline structure of THC-A to form erratically and to disintegrate or turn chalky rapidly. A bane to those labs growing crystals.
There are two directions underway to address the issue. One is using gas scrubbing cartridges containing mol sieve and the other is bubbling the LPG vapor through water to scrub it and then removing the water using a 0.2 micron membrane filter and a mol sieve column.
One of the mind blowers Sunday was the Starship glass shop where Apis Labs sponsored the after-party, and where they are making "Art Units" bit-coin out of glass. An Art Unit is valued at $10 and the coins they were making were ten art units or $100. Because of their uniqueness and rarity, they are traded and collected, so they sell for multiples of their face value in the market place. The detail, including lettering is incredibly well done, and the process amazing.
