Lost In The Fog

Yeah, I know. I used to save it for vape oil purpose but I have NO means of getting hold of stronger than 40% alcohol.

The mouthwash I buy is 26.5% alcohol or something like that (no I don't drink it).

That'd cause the US young adults(???) to have conniption fits. I remember drinking significant amounts of Wild Turkey (101-proof) bourbon and Bacardi (151-proof) rum before I grew my first taste bud (lol). Then there was the Owens (190-proof) "Industrial Grain Alcohol" and grape juice concoctions. I once got asked, "Hey, are you going to drink that?" when buying a bottle. Replied with, "Hey, is this a liquor store?" When I was 17 I had a heavy beard and looked ~ten years older, but might have been a wee bit immature and was definitely 99.995% smart@ss. Now, of course, I'm no longer...

17 :rolleyes: . Jury is still out on the rest.

I heard the "medicinal-grade" alcohol was pretty expensive, although I don't remember specifics.

I just had a look at the Wikipedia article on alcoholic drinks in Sweden. When I was young and stupid, I'd have had trouble fitting in to that culture. Now that I am older and slightly less stupid, I'd look at it as a good thing. Do some bars actually limit alcohol sales to people aged 27 and older? I got a kick out of the mention of how, before 1978, places were required to serve warm food with alcohol - and that regulars who were known to not eat the stuff were often served food that had already been served to other customers, LMAO (I think we accidentally bought some hot dogs like that, once, but that place didn't sell alcohol, just sh!tty food).

In general, I'm a fan of letting people do whatever the <BLEEP> they want, and let God and Darwin sort it out. But with alcohol... not so much. Way too much potential for someone's own stupidity harming other people with that one. So most of the country's laws on alcohol probably wouldn't bother me much, if at all. I wouldn't hassle the moonshiners in the country for distilling their own product, though, unless it turned out that they were selling "more than they could carry under one arm to their neighbor's hosue," lol, then I might fine them or something. I'd be a hypocrite if I dispatched teams of ax-wielding government agents, however; that's how my great grandmother ended up doing a stint in jail ;) .

Oops, looks like I've been rambling again. . . .

LOVE your rambling!

Great to see that you tracked down a little history on us over here. It's all true. We had lots of trouble in the past with moonshiners and alcohol problems. So I guess all the law and tax is to get the consumption down and that's good. Alot of people here and I guess at you to have significant problems with their drinking. But the sad thing is that it doesn't keep youngsters from playing with fire. They just find a new molecule to f-ck up their brain with.

Yes some places got age limiting to 27-28, but that's got more to do with segregation in maturity I think. Most local half ass joints let them in when they are 18. But you can't buy home anything until 20.

I think the alcohol is one of those thing we should diss invent. It done more harm in our communities than good, countless deaths and missouri.

That's why they are so afraid of legalizing cannabis here. It's because of our history with alcohol. They think we are going to set sail in our viking ships and start killing the Danish and English all over.......... o_O
 
Another one in the jar. Very happy with the yields now. Been averaging over 3 ounces per plant the last ones so I'm satisfied. Going to be fun to se the difference on the one in 2,8L pot. It's been paying off leaving them for another week before chop. So in total 11 weeks in bloom and avg 4 weeks veg from cutling.

 
This little guy is doing wonder right now. :)

I see the resemblance!

Easiest way to cause the young to do a thing is to forbid (at maximum volume) it, I suppose. My problem with drinking was more... that I had no problem drinking, lol. Had to just wake up one day not feeling like drinking any more. Kind of wish it would have happened years earlier than it did, but I was pretty much done before age 30, so.

when they are 18. But you can't buy home anything until 20.

The minimum age is almost universally 21 here. Was 18 at one time, but I seem to have missed that by a few years. But that never seriously slowed anyone down who was determined (and often didn't even inconvenience some). They're far more serious, in general, about checking people's ID for age-verification now, thankfully.

I sense a bit of irony there; a lot of people stop consuming alcohol (if not soon, then a gradual fading) when they discover cannabis. I might have read that alcohol consumption in one of our western states that legalized for recreational use, Colorado, went down.

Just remembered: I ended up with a bottle of aquavit several (ten?) years ago. I did some reading about alcohol in Scandinavia at the time.
 
It would be great if my government would take those numbers in from the state of Colorado. But they are so convinced that cannabis is a hard drug and a gateway to harder drugs that they don't even listen to people knowing better in this case. I think it's that they are so afraid for losing votes if they said something positiv about it. This country is made up from old time socialism and trust the state type of people and they are very afraid of rapid changes to things. So the politics are very afraid to make any changes to the system.

Aquavit, that's potato spirits! The no 1 moon shining recipe! :)

Slow change sucks... Most Texans have a very conservative view about cannabis as well. I hope as these younger generations start getting elected and push out the stubborn old "career politicians" we can finally see some changes. Worldwide!

Have had this cooler for a while but never found the use of it but now it would maybe be good in the tent. Don't know how it works yet. I think it's a peltier thermoelectric element inside. No screws so I cant get inside of it. It says cooling effect 100W. Ripped it of our old server cabinet at work a few years back.

Have put power to it but it doesn't seem to be cooling anything just blows air on the backside. Any one seen one of those or know how they work?

Is there a thermostat wire or a connection port for one. I know nothing about that model, but I've seen a unit before that had a thermostat port that looked like a headphone jack. Had us all stumped. LoL

Not sure that is your issue, just a thought...

Snooped around some at Rittal and found that it's configurable through a USB port on the back. So I downloaded the software and you can set the threshold temps on both the warm and cold side. Factory standard is 35C to start the unit and that's too hot to start it now... But I'm lacking a type B cable going back to work to snatch one. :)
