Reply to ELI5: How do we continue to grow seedless fruit if they don't contain seeds? by CuriousHuman111

Sinsemilla has entered the chat.

With cannabis there are female plants and Male plants. In the old days you planted seeds and waited to see if it had Male tops then pulled up all the males. Then the female flowers won't get pollinated, no seeds, sin semilla in Spanish.

Nowadays it's all grown from clones, cuttings that are rooted. All female.

Reply to The Metro is the reason my car stays in the garage for weeks at a time. Without it, I would be driving 3-4 days a week. How much more frequently would you be driving if it weren’t for the Metro? by SuperBethesda

I'll take the flip side of this - metro is not a convenient option from my location in the 'burbs. I use it a single digit number of times per year, mostly when I have friends in town and I'm playing tourist in the city with them all day. I hate driving in this area more than words can describe, but I do it every day out of necessity. If metro were an option for my daily commute, I would use it.

Reply to comment by OPsButthole6969 in ELI5: If benzodiazepines are CNS depressants, why is it so hard to die from a overdose of them alone? by psychrolute

Hmm I suppose you're right I guess I just got the wrong idea because unlike every other CNS depressant Benzos can not kill you by themselves only when mixed with other depressants. Benzos do NOT slow your breathing and heart rate as a direct affect of the drug itself. Just as OP said he took 960mg of etizolam, a drug that can get you extremely high off as little as 2mg. Any depressant besides a benzo that you take 480x the regular dose of you will die no ifs ands or buts about it but there is not a single recorded case of someone dying off Benzodiazepines alone and not mixed with another depressant. They can potentiate other depressants and make their effects exponentially stronger but that's it.

I was assuming CNS depressants specifically lowered heart rate and breathing and therefor benzos werent but I got it wrong my bad. Either way they dont really behave like any other CNS depressant and as OP explained they are not nearly as dangerous as most depressants because they are essentially impossible to OD on. I have seen many cases similar to OPs where as long they dont mix it with anything else like alcohol or opiates you can take just insane doses and still be fine when it wears off.

Yr getting down voted by ppl who i am sure consider it assault to be looked at by some who they think is poor, i can only assume.

Septa is in a sad state, lotta inequality and hopelessness and drug use in this city, too many guns, but i feel like there has been a serious uptick in paranoia fed by citizens app type shit in recent years and it is doing very serious damage to the social fabric....anyways, always happy to see people pointing that out. Cheers.

Reply to Have you completely lost any desire to watch Everything, Everywhere All At Once? by Peon-Flux

Being a contrarian feels badass when you're a kid, or just starting out in your study of the form. I get it. But it's a short step from there to cynicism and unreason, and you may not notice yourself taking it.

Ironically, a story as idealistic and light hearted as Everything Everywhere might be very good for you, if you take it to heart.
