We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that's obviously linked to Latin communities. So while it's illegal, we're OK with calling it something that's linked to a community, BUT once it's legal, suddenly we're trying to erase that connection. Like it's too good for that community anymore. It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation. Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn't anti racist.

I feel like it's more racist to start calling it cannabis once it's legal.

Oddly enough that secondary exodus is probably why this place is so much more positive

Remember code is minimum. Mold and mildew resistant drywall can go on a bathroom ceiling. It just doesn't very often because code is for the shower wall

I worked as an it business analyst for a larger multinational for a hot minute. Lenovo laptops were beastly and rarely broke. When 10 000 employees are all using t series laptops for years, with few breaking down, it made me appreciate your comment quite a bit.

I'm not trying to plug lenovo. There's very little difference between lenovo and dell at the enterprise level. Those are the ones I have experience with and so I'll comment on those. Just buy actual business laptops. Especially if you're not gaming

This is just an example of how this was never about Oct 7. The West bank has a completely different government than the Hamas led gaza strip. There are no hostages in the west bank. This is a provocative act as isntreal continues to try and make a wider regional conflict.

If you take a look at their battery industry, you'll see they're taking it very seriously

Or just don't federate with threads. Embrace, extend, extinguish is a thing

I also don't think he's writing them, so you can consider that as well

I'm fairly certain that the last two books will be published close together. Grrm is well known for writing a chapter and then pushing it to the next book.

Walking on some surfaces is downright pleasurable. Dewy morning grass or a dry hard packed dirt trail for instance
