I mean, if you want a similar flavour and don’t want to drink beer, just stuff a fresh nug of weed in your mouth. You probably won’t even get stoned due to the bio-availability quirks of THC.

Yes, that was the point I was agreeing with and reiterating.
I’ve had some really nice craft pilsners, and some absolutely vile ambers…guess it’s almost like people have different tastes 🤷
24·2 days agoWhat the 99.9% Figure Actually Measures
The conviction rate tracks only cases where a prosecutor has formally indicted a defendant and brought the case to trial. It does not reflect the outcome of all police investigations, all arrests, or all cases referred to prosecutors. This distinction matters enormously. Japanese prosecutors decline to indict in roughly 60% of cases referred to them by police, meaning fewer than one in three cases that police hand off ever reaches a courtroom.1 The 99.9% applies only to that narrow slice of cases that survived the screening process.
This makes direct comparisons with other countries misleading. In the U.S. federal system, prosecutors indict more than 80% of referred cases, but over 97% of those are resolved through plea bargains where the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for reduced charges or a lighter sentence. If you counted those guilty pleas as convictions the same way Japan counts trial outcomes, the U.S. federal conviction rate would also exceed 99%. The roughly 83% conviction rate Americans typically hear about applies only to contested trials. Japan has no comparable plea bargaining system for most crimes, so nearly all its cases go to a full trial, and the 99.9% figure reflects verdicts after that process.

Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I’d make a hops shake.
I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.
Cut em in half, scoop some of the middle out to make a boat fill the scoop with spiced beef mince mixed with fine diced onion, garlic and pepper of choice, slather in olive oil and slap that in the oven. Shit slaps. Eat with humus and pitta

You’re thinking of the UK, where they still use Stone for body weight.

3·4 days agoI still remember your first post. Glad you’re still going ❤️
As a stone mason, I endorse this meme. There’s a lot of these things that they go “ALIENS!” and actually, if you just asked someone with a few years of traditional building skills/experience they’d give you a dozen low tech options for doing the thing.
It’s not rocket surgery. Human brains have been basically the same for thousands and thousands of years, if we’re currently smart enough to do it then they sure as shit were too…
It’s one of my rage buttons. It’s not even thinly veiled racism, just veiled enough for the truly stupid to think they’re fooling everyone else with their racism.
You can just link the community.
That would have been super cool, but glad we got the BG2 we did.
Might… uhhh…tickle a bit 😉
No, but only because I had a gf(now wife) at the time.
My gf knew I was there, I was being a supportive friend to my buddy who’s gf broke up with him for another of our friends. Shit was messy…but at least we had a great night. He’d bought himself so many lapdances I got 2 freebies.
