  • Hell yeah! I’m happy to hear the flavor stayed true.

    Bottle tech is a style of pressing the rosin where you fold in the corners of the bag and then pack it vertically, resulting in a column which you then press into a circular puck. It can increase yields - this is a good guide for how to fold the bag. Some people like to take this even further and use “chottle” tech, where the top and bottom are open - I haven’t tried that as I worry it would get more plant particulate in the product. “Pillow” tech is just packing the bag regularly.

    I don’t press hash so I don’t know if bottle tech would be a good idea in that situation. Maybe not if you are wanting to double bag.

    What sort of bags did you use to make the bubble hash?



  • I used to think that it was beneficial to prevent anaerobic bacteria from infecting the wound, since exposure to oxygen would limit their growth. My understanding of this is evolving, but it seems that some of the time it is true that a wound needs to “breathe” but that doesn’t mean it should be uncovered.

    This article makes it clear that sometimes an “occlusive” bandage (one that completely prevents air/water transfer) is not right, in this case focusing on wounds with impaired circulation.

    This article from a bandage manufacturer makes it clear that most of the time occlusive bandages are better, but there are different extents of occlusivity, and the bandage should be matched to the application.



  • I have come to think of it as all being probability fields.

    When studying a particle, one cannot know both the energy and position of that particle with certainty (Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle). When chemists think about the 3d “structure” of atoms and molecules, they represent the nucleus as a tiny little ball and the electrons as bubbles of probability: Atomic Orbitals Example (Hydrogen).

    The nucleus itself is in constant motion as well, and compared to the size of the actual protons and neutrons, there is much more empty space - kind of like planets in a solar system. And each of these protons/neutrons is composed of tiny particles called quarks, which again are in constant motion and thus make up probability fields that we call protons and neutrons.
