Ben: How did it go? Nathaniel: Don't ask. Ben: That bad? Nathaniel: Worse. Ben: Well... for me it was tough too, but I'm an optimist. It should be a pass. Nathaniel: Lucky you!

Matthew: any of those on here talking about watching videos, listening to tunes or laughing at stuff have clearly never had a full on impending doom, thought looping, time dilated, paranoid, depersonalization attack from doing too much weed. Matthew: I know at least 2 people who have suffered protracted post hallucinogen perception disorder from cannabis use and many others who spend their days in a zombified apathetic state smoking it all day.. Matthew: it is not a remotely harmless drug despite all the people on here trying to be edgy and cool... i’d goes as far as saying LSD and psilocybin are safer mentally. Rick: Have you been watching Reefer Madness? Robert: Matthew, ahhh or we just had that sober as children and moved past it like normal folks eventually realizing that we are going to die and doom is impending and that’s fine. Basia: Psilocybin is famously extremely safe, so yes, it's very possible that it and LSD are both safer than marijuana. Nevertheless, the risk of serious problems from moderate marijuana use is pretty low for most healthy adults. Not zero risk, but pretty low risk for _most_ people. Rick: Matthew, I only heard of positive effects of marijuana: relax, unwind, de-stress, relax, unwind, de-stress... Daniel: Basia, healthy adults are low risk true but most peer reviewed studies show a high risk in users 21 and under.Easy to get caught up in the debate always trust the science. Seamie: Matthew, You're clueless Matthew: Huh?

### Summary: According to Matthew marihuana is unsafe, while Rick heard otherwise. Basia confirms that it's worse for mental health than LSD.

Amber: The one about how women were happy that men went to war so that could work in factories etc.? Doreen: No, I was too busy choosing a juice everyone would scoff at 🤩 Amber: Ha ha ha good for you Edgar: I’ve read it. Frankly speaking, I think it was one of the best we’ve read so far. Very much to the point and I love how she incorporates the sources into her text. Seamlessly!! 🤖 Amber: Yeah, I loved it too, that’s why I wanted to know what you guys think of it Ian: Defs sounds like a good read.

Chris: Can you center fill on top of multiple layers of soric? Chris: With the soric inside layers of reinforcement obviously Joel: Dont see why not. Just plan the resin brake accordingly since the resin front on the top will flow faster than the on the mold surface Chris: so would shooting from the side keep it even top and bottom? Maybe thats my issue with pinholes sometimes Joel: Doubt it, it’s the flow mesh that makes the top flow faster. Joel: Best way to test is small panels done on a piece of glass so you can see what’s going on Chris: Im about out of my inter-laminar flow media and dont know where to get more, that seemed to help with the speed of fill. Joel: I’ve tested with several flow meshes but never any that go in between the layers. The blue mesh seems to flow about twice as fast as the green even though they look identical other than the color Joel: But it seems letting the flow go as slow as you can get away with without it kicking too early is better at eliminating pin holes. It seams that when the resin travels fast it’s more likely to leave tiny bits of air trapped Chris: I had some woven glass stuff that was stiff and didnt distort, like a flow mesh but I got it from a guy and dont know where to get rolls of it Chris: my epoxy is 1500cps mixed.... slow is an understatement Joel: Yeah you might wanna find something thinner Chris: :)

### Summary: Joel has tested with several flow meshes and the blue one seems to flow about twice as fast as the green one. Chris got woven glass mesh that was stiff and didn't distort. Chris's epoxy is 1500 cps so will probably get something thinner.

Depends when though, I’ve got a busy week tbh Lupe: Any day at the weekend would be fine for me Ida: I won’t be able to make it I’m afraid. I’m working in the evening (which means I’ll have to sit through a few plays which I have a gut feeling will be shit) 😭 Ida: Then rush home, write and hand in the reviews then doze off. I haven’t had a free weekend for months now and it’s really driving me crazy Lupe: 😰 Lupe: Oh that sucks :( Hmm I only have time at the weekends in the foreseeable future but will try to figure something out next time I have a free evening during the week Ida: It’d be much appreciated Ida: Meanwhile you two can go and enjoy the Armenian without remorse Ida: 🙌 Andy: Remind me what remorse was?

Matthew: any of those on here talking about watching videos, listening to tunes or laughing at stuff have clearly never had a full on impending doom, thought looping, time dilated, paranoid, depersonalization attack from doing too much weed. Matthew: I know at least 2 people who have suffered protracted post hallucinogen perception disorder from cannabis use and many others who spend their days in a zombified apathetic state smoking it all day.. Matthew: it is not a remotely harmless drug despite all the people on here trying to be edgy and cool... i’d goes as far as saying LSD and psilocybin are safer mentally. Rick: Have you been watching Reefer Madness? Robert: Matthew, ahhh or we just had that sober as children and moved past it like normal folks eventually realizing that we are going to die and doom is impending and that’s fine. Basia: Psilocybin is famously extremely safe, so yes, it's very possible that it and LSD are both safer than marijuana. Basia: Nevertheless, the risk of serious problems from moderate marijuana use is pretty low for most healthy adults. Not zero risk, but pretty low risk for _most_ people. Rick: Matthew, I only heard of positive effects of marijuana: relax, unwind, de-stress, relax, unwind, de-stress... Daniel: Basia, healthy adults are low risk true but most peer reviewed studies show a high risk in users 21 and under.Easy to get caught up in the debate always trust the science. Seamie: Matthew, You're clueless Matthew: Huh?

### Summary: Matthew believes marijuana is unsfae, while Rick only knows the positive sides to it.

Alleatha: Hi, I have a question MTG related. If I exile a permanent with something and it will later return to play Alleatha: will ETB effects happen?

Gerard: Won't trigger "die" Alleatha: Thankee :) Alleatha: There was this "mount" that exiled guy for +2/+2 bonuses, and I was pondering if the "delayed blink" could be used for further advantages. Alleatha: I likes this card <file_other> for some weird reason. Gerard: Nice one Gerard: I like the angel cause it's pretty Alleatha: I'm slightly lost. Gerard: What? Why? Gerard: I don't remember card names... Alleatha: I'm looking at the cards looking for an angel Gerard: Black and white, with a scales on a picture Alleatha: Seraph of the Scales? Gerard: Yes Alleatha: She's pretty Gerard: Very. I like the picture. Card is ok too Alleatha: Haven't been really paying attention to MTG for a while, as I don't play it outside of prereleases Alleatha: And I tent to miss even those Gerard: We recently started playing with little group Alleatha: Ye, that's the problem with games - they need actual people for them.

### Summary: Exiling a permanent triggers ETB. Recently Alleatha plays MTG rarely and only with prereleases.

Sophia: Guys, I need your help Destiny: what is it? Sophia: we want to go for some summer-in-winter vacation Amy: nice! where? Sophia: that's the problem. I would like to go to Mauritius, but of course it's at least about €600 Nora: I think this is how it costs Sophia: sure, this is not a problem, I knew the price Sophia: the thing is that Peter doesn't want to go for more than 10 days Sophia: because he doesn't want to use up so many days of his leave in 2019 and he'd also like to go alone somewhere in summer Sophia: but I don't see the point of paying so much for going somewhere only for 10 days Destiny: I completely get your point Destiny: but I think it's solvable Destiny: you can go somewhere closer or you can stay longer and he would come back earlier Sophia: which is a bit shitty, but after all seems kind of a compromise Sophia: I find it wasteful to fly so far for only a week Sophia: because the flights will take 2 full days Destiny: Sure, but maybe this compromise would not be bad for you Destiny: and most of all there is no need to force one another to do certain things Sophia: you're right. I will just probably book a few days more

Camilla: You shouldn’t complain so much about it, Marge. After all, you are finally spending some quality time together. Marge: Oh, but you know me. I’m more of a home bird, not that I’m staying in the hotel, mind you. Instead of chasing after food, I prefer to lounge in the sun with a good book in my hand. And he’s making my life just a little bit harder. But enough about me! How are you? Camilla: Fine, thank you. I’m completely alone today, because Harry has gone fishing this morning, but I think I might go out for a bit, maybe do some shopping. We don’t have any rosemary and it does wonders to a freshly caught salmon. We’ll stay in touch, dear. Enjoy your trip! Marge: We certainly will! Take care, dear.
