  • One of the problems with this is that the debate rules are not enforced. If you go back and watch Trump in previous debates he continually ignores the time limits and talks over the moderator when told his time is up. Microphones for both participants should automatically shut off when the speaker’s time is up.

    Also, obvious, outright lies should earn a microphone cutoff although this would be dependent on a moderator that would be acceptable to both debaters. I can’t see Trump ever agreeing to live fact checking during a debate.

    Additionally, Trump appears to be even less mentally capable than he was in the previous debates - I do not believe it would end well for him.









  • I saw them in December 1978 - it was about 2 months after their debut on SNL with Satisfaction and still before their second album (Duty Now for the Future). I was 17. I still see lots of shows and that Devo show still stands out as one of the best performances of any band I have ever seen. It was loud, raucous, and visually completely over the top. They were completely original and so far ahead of their time as artists. They showed early Devo films on a screen behind them while they played. Nobody was doing multimedia shows like this back then and even now I can’t think of any show that has ever been better in terms of a multimedia experience. Years later I found an audio recording from that show on the Internet. The recording is fair quality but even now when I listen to it, it confirms just how great they were.




  • After decades of nearly exclusive use of a bong and very occasional disappointing experimentation with various vaporizers, I never really found a vape device that could replace a bong for me.

    That changed about a year ago. I bought a Tiny Might 2 and don’t use anything else now.

    The device is expensive but is a great piece of hardware that works very well. Most importantly it can deliver massive hits. With a good cooling stem you can use it anywhere and it will allow you to do a hit that will rival a good bong hit and it tastes so much better.

    But the best is that it comes with a glass water pipe attachment (WPA) that allows you to use it with a bong or water pipe. When I’m at home I use it exclusively with a bong. It uses less herb than combustion for the same or better effect with dramatically better flavor. It will produce very thick vapor and will give you a very satisfying bong hit - at higher temperatures it will produce very thick clouds. In fact you can turn the temperature up enough to combust whatever is in the chamber if you are so inclined. Another benefit is that your bong stays cleaner too.

    I use the dosing capsules which keeps the device clean and helps a bit with efficiency. Specifically I use .10 grams in a dosing capsule and am often unable to finish in one hit. (I am a runner and can do huge hits) On the same bong with the same herb I would use a little bit more - maybe .13 grams if I were combusting it.

    For me it is pretty close to the ideal device. It absolutely improved every aspect of my herbal experience. Of course YMMV but I’m a convert.
