What's something you know but most other people dont

It seems that the phrase "dire straits" makes no sense. What are "dire straits"? There is even a band named "Dire Straits".
If you think about it "dires traits" makes more sense since the phrase "dire straits" meant "a state of extreme distress" in other words if someone is in a bad position they would show "dires traits" / "dires traits" meaning traits of a person in extreme distress or traits of a dying person, mo. It seems like the "s" got misplaced.

duuude what are you smoking? Seriously, share! :)

It isn't so much what I know that others don't, but rather what I know that they don't want to know, out of fear of becoming less "normal".

I call the subject matter "ego damage" material. Most don't want to hear it and will argue with someone vastly more knowledgeable on the subject, get very upset and "cast stones" in an attempt to hurt your ego as theirs was hurt. It isn't about acquiring more or new knowledge to them at that point, it's about hurting the guy who suggested they don't know something.

So, for the most part anymore, I let them have their bliss. ;)

How to grow MJ
instead of beleiveing how great I am with shitty results. Oh or very little experience especially zero formal Horticulture Education like a Diploma or a single fu%^'n Class or not even an experienced mentor.
Basically I am using this thread to smash some egos that need it.
If you can't even get a measily 1.5 pounds per 1000watts with a 4 week veg then you should listen and not be heard, cuz 2 pounds per 1000watts is normal to a quality grower.
What I said it what, to many
geeks here on IC MAG more than before, as the last 10 year High School Grads get on the forum they provide less and less info and more and more insults that honestly make zero sense outside of childish minds

there are 15.43 grains to a gram, gunpowder scales (cheap online) have to be accurate to this degree for obvious reasons.

if you dabble in herbal remedies/medicines and desire to do very accurate small dosing a scale from RCBS or Hornady would allow very exacting measurements.

I own an older but same version of the 10-10 pictured below, capacity of 1010 grains (2+ oz.) its accuracy with the micrometer dial is down to 1/10th of a grain which converts to 1/154th of a gram, making this close to the accuracy of scales used in hi-tech labs for a fraction of the price. I know it shows 500 grain capacity on the beam but you can increase that (losing no accuracy) to 1010 grains by adding the included weight. it also breaks down to fit onto its base & that cover snaps tightly into place keeping it dust free.

[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif]RCBS 10-10 Balance Beam Powder Scale. Need up to 1010-grain capacity with 0.1-grain sensitivity? You get it with the RCBS 10-10. Its approach-to-weight system speeds reloading and helps you avoid overloads. Micrometer poise allows easy adjustment at any setting from 0.1 to 10 grains. Other features: magnetic dampening, non-stick/non-spill aluminum pan, self-aligning agate bearings, hardened steel pivot knives and a tough plastic cover.[/FONT]


you can find these rather cheaply on eBay, never buy for full retail, always check eBay or CraigsList first.

"Rained 40 days and 40 nights" might have been misinterpreted for "The earth reigned for the days and for the nights". "For'the" can be mistaken for "forty". The earth is still reigning for the days and for the nights;) jmo
that story was originally written in ancient hebrew, and that forty is translated from that hebrew, and couldn't possibly really be "for the"

"'arba`iym {ar-baw-eem'} multiple of 0702; TWOT - 2106b; n,adj pl AV - forty 132, fortieth 4; 136 1) forty"

straitly adverb
straitness noun
ORIGIN Middle English : shortening of Old French estreit ‘tight, narrow,’ from Latin strictus ‘drawn tight’ (see strict ).


"Dire Straits" was probably originally a sailor's term.



I do think your proclivity for 'word sound' play would be an excellent basis for poetry or even a stand-up routine. When you post it, it always comes across well, regardless of the potential accuracy.
