Ring has 'partnered' and gives access to videos taken of you and your neighbors to police departments without a warrant, just ad hoc access. Amazon has also been working on a facial recognition program, and the combination has worry some implications if, or more likely when (if not contested by society at large or regulation), combined.
If you opt-out of ring's sharing video, it reports you to the police with the exact repurcussions unknown to me (I have read a handful of articles on it previously).
Here is a 'ring issues' outline from EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/five-concerns-about-am...
The dude said 'unintentionally' overdose on opium. This article covering Laudanum (opium + alcohol tincture) deaths in the 1800s sounds like the overdoses were largely intentional or one where an adult dose was given to a child. https://www.apnews.com/910654effffe42f985ebe01f299407f5
As long as the strength is known most addicts will measure the dose or titrate up safely.
I'm aware, I repeated his 'unintentional'. Unintentional overdose deaths on Opium are certainly less common than fentanyl. But they are nowhere near as difficult to achieve as Marijuana, which is basically impossible.
Thank you so much this is so cool and necessary. If you need a visual to pitch it to investors and you haven't seen it there was a great south park episode (looked it up S15E01, the human centipad) mingled with one of the best-est gross out horror-humor movies ever the human centipede.
Even after laughing at that and being raised by a lawyer I still don't read the TOS line by line like i should, again I need this.
I'm a big South Park fan, also loved that episode (and the original movie). It didn't cross my mind to use that specific thing to explain the project, but kinda makes sense! Grotesque but effective.
More complex question would be if I vape my dessert flavor with or without nicotine is that better for me than eating said dessert? I have had so many people tell me how they 'cant resist' sweets, and I'd rather vape my cake.
Before I switched from smoking 12-ish years ago my lungs would physically hurt in the morning and I would cough when I woke up. To me, and other people who legitimately view vaping as something that was life-changing in a very positive way that comes off as a very uncaring attitude. Vaping dramatically improved my health.
From EPA "Propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol were first registered in 1950 and 1959, respectively, by the FDA for use in hospitals as air disinfectants. At one point, there were approximately 190 pesticide chemical companies having active propylene or dipropylene glycol registrations."
This entire report details safety information, including aerosol use for almost 70 years.
The more research you do on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics the more the 96% less harmful than smoking figure appears likely to be in the correct ballpark for harm-reduction vs smoking. Source: https://pneumonia.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41479-...
The only instances I could find of respiratory irritation requiring medical intervention related to fog machine use where involving oil based fog machines, or mixed-use but have so far been unable to find case reports of Glycol or Glycerin based fogs alone.
Not all theatrical fog is the same as vaping as far as I am aware. If you have any articles specifically dealing with the components used for vaping I would be interested to read them. Vaping does not use oil.
100% agree with the VG (Vegetable Glycerin) recommendation, you will have to add a small 20-30% percentage of PG Propylene Glycol to decrease the viscocity (or alternately use pure VG and cut with small amount of normal saline but it won't make as nice a vapor) and then can use it in any actual vape device used for nicotine as these are meant to use water-based not oil-based mixtures.
For marijuana/hemp you can make a water-based tincture using VG as the solvent just using dried plant matter. A magical butter machine can do it, putting it in a bottle and shaking it up every day for a few months, there are likely other methods. It's similar to making a CBD/THC oil but instead using VG as the carrier.
Making your own tincture from decent-quality dried plant matter is the most economical and surefire way to know that it unadulterated and limited in contaminants.
