  • It’s for the silliest reason as well, we stopped including psuedoephedrine in OTC cold meds because Theresa May government were concerned about people using it to make meth, with no evidence that people in the UK were using it to make meth…

    You can still get pseudoephedrine but you have to request it at the pharmacy, as it’s a pharmacy medication now.

    So in reality no difference in terms of accessing it, if you really wanted to make meth, just means that most people can’t get an effective decongestant when they’re on their way to work…



  • I get what you’re trying to say, but that still isn’t exactly accurate.

    If you measure the herb before and after, it’ll give you the total of evaporated difference, but this difference will not reflect the actual THC/CBD consumed, you’ve got terpenes and other volatile compound in there as well, adding weight.

    Nor does it account for losses due to condensation on the inside of the vape.

    If you know how much it your herb is THC/CBD, then you estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

    Also now that I’ve written this out, I realise how “Well actually…” this is; my bad.

    Love the username btw, what vape do you use if you don’t mind my asking?






  • Admittedly, I don’t take the train or bus anywhere near as much as I used to, but when I did there were always poster adverts about being respectful towards other riders and staff. Have those gone away, or is it that there is another influence supplanting that messaging?

    Perhaps phones being much more engaging that people actually spend a lot less time reading the PSAs and adverts around them?

    In a weirdly similar way, I remember pre COVID there used to be so many more drivers that would be blasting music with their windows down that it rarely deserved a second thought. It’s much more rare to hear it nowadays, to the extent that when I do, it seems so much more obnoxious.


  • Also the opposite side to it don’t keep hammering into somebody once they’ve admitted fault and are trying to rectify their mistakes (within reason).

    People will be a lot more likely to be confident in admitting a mistake and being honest about it if it isn’t blown out of proportion.

    Doesn’t it provide a safe way of preserving food that housing built before personal refrigeration became common won’t have (a larder, basement, or even shaded garden)?

    Methods of refrigeration become especially important if you do not have a regular way of retrieving food.

    Not to mention, even cooked vegan food can and will spoil quicker without refrigeration.


  • My mum’s a child psychotherapist, from her perspective medication aught not to be the first thing people jump at, but it very much has it’s place; an example being children with ADHD who literally cannot sit down to the point of them getting distressed, actually being able to sit down and engage with therapy after starting medication. Similar things with anxiety and depression, if anxiety holds you back from opening up and personal thoughts and feelings then medication can enable that for therapeutic work to begin.

    The bigger issue she has is when people (often parents) only want the medication but don’t want to try and engage with the therapy.

    Just something to think about





  • What type of tub is it? Free standing or one with a panel on the side?

    If one with a panel on the side you can remove them by cutting the silicone, which will enable you to see the drain pipe and the trap, and you can then inspect it for leaks (use a dry piece of paper towel to test if a leak continues after drying it initially)

    If it’s due to a leak from the water supply pipes you could try turning off your water at the source/stop tap, open up your all the taps in the house and drain your system (I wouldn’t suggest doing this if you have a water storage tank). If the dripping stops after doing this, it’s likely to be your water supply pipes, as opposed to the drain.
