I think a lot of stoners forget what an edible is like when you have zero tolerance. You can go up in dosages to huge numbers but when your system has nothing in it you can literally take a 5mg and be zooted for most of a day.

They don't though. And my city has had an explosion in the local population so I'm gonna double down on the "fuck wild mice in peoples living spaces" talk.

Reply to Back in the late 90s, I remember hearing that scientists “cloned a sheep”. What actually happened with the cloning, and what advancements have been made as a result of that? by foxmag86
Cloned animals are now commercially available. I remembera news story several years ago about a polo player who liked a specific horse so much that he had it cloned five times so that he could run a team with only that horse.

Reply to comment by Matches_Malone83 in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13
Dude I was on one of those episodes and Kevin Smith is being kinda humble about it. We would wrap on a shooting day in half what it could have been on a worse run set(which is VERY common for a CW show) and a decent part of that is that Kevin Smith trusts the crew to do their job even in cases where he can't directly be present.
In fact, I was there for one if the "without him" scenes and its basically the only times I've ever seen a director willing to let the crew do things so autonomously, and the camera and stunt teams had a blast getting the scene done at the time.
It doesn't sound like a lot but this is definitley a skill that he's developed and an extension of his fairly unique philosophy to filmmaking.

I work in film and I've seen productions that will shoot multiple episodes concurrently. Meaning that they'll be shooting episodes 3 and 4 and then the crew on episode 3 will move on to 5 and then 4 goes to 6 and so on. Not to mention that if you have a stunt heavy seqjence or an extended sequence with a whole seoerate group of actors you may want to bring in an additional unit with even more people. It can be very easy for a film crew to balloon in size and need a bunch of directors concurrently if the producers and accountants agree this makes more financial sense.

Reply to comment by MrFancyPanzer in Zelensky and the Prime Minister of Belgium sign declaration of support for Ukraine’s membership to the EU and NATO by TheRealMykola
I think they'll have what it takes. There are Ukraining pilots who've been training for the f16 for a while, and about 10,000 Ukrainians are graduating from training as fresh troops in the UK fully equipped each month, and thats just the U.K. and not any other countries.
Ukraine is in a position where the numver of trained troops they're gaining is fsr exceeding their losses, and Russia is losing hundreds a day, every day, and is increasingly poorly armed.
We're in a position where as time goes on Ukraine is becoming increasingly more powerful and Russia increasingly weaker. They're also in this position explicitly because Russia broke all of its promises for peace prior to this and no new promises can br trusted.
Fighting Russia in Crimea would be hard, bloody, and costly, but Russia has essentially forced a situation where Ukraine has no real other option, and is also being armed well enough and fast enough that this time next year they'll have an army capable of actually doing it.

To be fair Hal was in cartoons before that and even appeared first in the DCAU in the Superman cartoon.

Deadpool makes several jokes about Green Lantern being an awful movie and the suit sucking. The post credit scene for Deadpool 2 is literally deadpool going back in time to shoot Ryan Reynolds before he can accept tbe role.
Green Lantern has kind of become the ur example of a comic book movie that just didn't work, surpassing Daredevil or the Punisher movie in this regard.

Thats why it never became a CW show. Hal Jordan basically completes DC's secondary trinity with Flash and Green Arrow and they teased several appearances for him that never materialized. Diggle getting rewritten to be John Stewart also kinda fizzled out because there was no way to make it work on that budget consistently.

Those look a bit overstuffed. You could probably make 2 from that amount of meat.
