BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Trees@lemmy.world•The Future is Now: what were your thoughts on transitioning to a vape?English3·4 days agoThe Volcano Hybrid was my daily driver for the last few years, and it’s still one of the best vapes around, but I recently bought a Venty and absolutely love it. I produce the same amount of vapor as a full Hybrid balloon, with less flower. The cleaning really isn’t that bad at all, you just need a toothpick and maybe some alcohol. Though to be fair I didn’t realize how much plant matter would end up in the cooling unit, but once I figured out how it all works it’s super straightforward to keep clean.
Edit: I forgot to mention the two best things about the Venty: the adjustable airflow means at the highest setting it’s basically unrestricted, so it feels the same as pulling on a Volcano balloon, and the other is that it goes from cold to fully heated and ready to vape in less than 20 seconds. It’s wild how fast it heats up.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?English7·4 days agoI recently asked myself similar questions about two friends I knew for about 15 years. I thought I had been close with them, but I quickly answered No to all of them (plus a bunch of follow-ups I asked myself), and realized they were never real friends, or at least hadn’t been for a while, they were just people who were accustomed to seeing me and sometimes making plans together.
I always felt anxious after hanging out with them, never felt like they listened to or cared about anything I said, never remembered my preferences or things about my personal life from visit to visit, never believed me when I said I knew something, etc etc. It’s easy to get used to this kind of thing and to think it’s normal and healthy, but it was so exhausting and frustrating for me that I finally gave up and haven’t talked to them in over a year.
Sometimes these types of questions are super helpful in evaluating longstanding relationships as well as new ones.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you learned in your line of work that other people wouldn't knowEnglish35·5 days agoThe drinking water systems in the United States are so precarious and vulnerable, that I’m genuinely shocked we haven’t had more widespread issues with the water supply. The systems are made up of thousands of locally-managed interconnected intakes and outflows, and oversight is spotty and combative.
Please use a water filter. And thank your local utilities and maintenance people for their hard work keeping us alive.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL "NA" in videogames is short for 'North America' and not 'Non Applicable'English14·8 days agoLol that’s a totally understandable and relatable flub. It’s one of those things that’s only relevant when you already know it’s there and what it means. Otherwise there’s no reason for your brain to think twice about it, so you subconsciously file it away with the most common meaning for NA. And every time you see it in passing you inadvertently reinforce that meaning. I find myself doing that shit all that time. The eureka moment sure is fun though! Our brains are wild.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•World's first 3D-texture UV printer for consumers now available for pre-order — prints onto 'nearly any surface'English2·8 days agoWow, that’s really impressive. I don’t really know why, but I want this.
Though I initially thought it was handheld, which would make their claim to be able to print on nearly any surface a little more believable. Still seems like incredible tech.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is it that every time a film, series or game has as its protagonist someone who is part of a minority, right-wingers try to problematize everything?English115·9 days agoYou’re not paranoid, it’s a real pattern, and that pattern is racism. Some white people, in their wildest dreams, can’t imagine how a person of color might get a role instead of a white person. It’s not about skill, it’s not about creativity, it’s not about the quality of the film. It’s just blatant racism.
Remember how the little mermaid live action movie started getting shit before it was even released? That was because the lead actor was black, and peoples’ imaginations are so underdeveloped that they couldn’t see that she is legitimately an amazing talent who played the role just as well if not better than any white lady could have. Now, live action Disney remakes are stupid, so maybe that’s not the best example, but it’s all just racism.
BertramDitore@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Cheers", but set in a fantasy tavern.English2·12 days agoOne of my favorite Japanese dramas, Isekai Izakaya Nobu, based on an anime of the same name, has a plot kind of like this. Lots of fun.
Your whisky preference is indeed correct.
