Safety & CBD — Is CBD Oil A Safe Supplement For Everyone? CBD supplements have become commonplace in supermarkets, health food stores, and eCommerce sites. Now that CBD has become ubiquitous in our culture, many assume it’s “safe” for everyone. Although CBD oil is generally well-tolerated by healthy adults, that doesn’t mean it’s a suitable option for every customer. There are many factors that people should consider when assessing whether CBD is safe for them.Safely Taking CBD — Who’s The Right Fit For CBD Supplements?As mentioned in the intro, most health authorities believe CBD is generally well-tolerated by healthy adults. If you’re over 21 and don’t have a pre-existing medical condition, it’s usually OK to try a high-quality CBD product. Since CBD isn’t psychoactive, there’s no risk of feeling “high” when taking this cannabinoid. However, some people may notice side effects like digestive upset, nausea, or headaches when they take CBD oil.Even if people experience adverse reactions to their CBD, these sensations are usually mild and s...

Megan Thee Stallion and Spiritbox Collab on Cobra

Megan Thee Stallion and Spiritbox Collab on Cobra Megan Thee Stallion and Spiritbox Collab on Cobra: Rap star Megan Thee Stallion and rising metal band Spiritbox have collaborated on a rocked-up remix of “Cobra” and it is fucking immense.The song is the perfect choice for this treatment; the lyrics are essentially a cry for help from Megan: “Breakin’ down and I had the whole world watchin’, But the worst part is really who watched me, Every night I cried, I almost died, And nobody close tried to stop it, Long as everybody gettin’ paid, right? Everything’ll be okay, right?”Powerful stuff. To hear those deeply personal lyrics over some hefty guitar action, and then Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante’s vocals both cooing and screaming between — it’s all wonderful and manages to stay on the right side of “nu-metal.” This isn’t Limp Bizkit. This sounds fresh and real.The video is awesome too. Megan crawls out of a massive snake, and then sheds skin while...

‘If I was only solo in the carpool lane briefly, should I really get a ticket?’: Roadshow

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:34:49 GMT

‘If I was only solo in the carpool lane briefly, should I really get a ticket?’: Roadshow Q: I commute northbound on San Tomas Expressway to Walsh Avenue, then turn right. Due to the slope of the road over the Caltrain tracks and with many vehicles merging onto San Tomas from Monroe, I sometimes shift into the carpool lane prior to crossing Monroe.I was pulled over recently for driving in the carpool lane, even though I explained to the officer that I was going to turn right on Walsh. The officer said that driving more than a quarter-mile in a carpool lane as a single driver is enough for a ticket, but am I really at fault?M.A: Yes, sounds like you are. I got this question a few years ago and my answer then is still valid now: Enter the diamond lane once past the previous intersection with a traffic signal and when it can be done safely. This might be about 200 to 500 feet from your turn.In general, police will ticket solo drivers who pass through a signalized intersection in the carpool lane. I shift lanes only when traffic ahead is at a crawl and I feel it is safe to m...

49ers-Buccaneers preview: Bosa, with re-energized defense, gets another shot at Mayfield

49ers-Buccaneers preview: Bosa, with re-energized defense, gets another shot at Mayfield SANTA CLARA – Chase Young, in the wake of his victorious debut with the 49ers, said something Sunday that speaks volumes to the 49ers’ belief in themselves.He did not sense a team wallowing in a three-game skid upon his trade-deadline arrival. He sensed a cohesive group capable of producing, well, a 34-3 road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which they did Sunday.“I wasn’t here for the losses, but I could tell everybody just had that energy,” Young told reporters at his locker. “You could just tell that love for the game in the locker room.”The 49ers (6-3) have snapped the streak, and they’re home Sunday to host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5).(Warning, the 49ers should not read the following note: After the Bucs is a critical stretch of games, with a Dec. 3 visit to Philadelphia sandwiched between the 49ers’ games against the Seattle Seahawks.)Linebacker Fred Warner, in his postgame speech to the locker room, emphasized the need to not look into that distance.“It’s safe to say we ...

How Silicon Valley will put airships back in flight

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:34:49 GMT

How Silicon Valley will put airships back in flight It’s longer than three Boeing 737s. Someday it could carry up to five tons of cargo and float from San Francisco to Chicago.Long hidden in a dark hangar at Moffett Field, the remarkable Pathfinder 1 — a gigantic white cigar-shaped airship — was rolled out into the bright Bay Area sunshine for some quick exercise last week, then rolled back in.The behemoth aircraft, the brainchild of Google co-founder Sergey Brin and aviation innovator Alan Weston, behaved exactly as intended.It didn’t float, because it was securely tethered by ropes held by ground crew. That’s planned for next time, probably within several weeks. Its initial maneuvers will be around Moffett Field, which Google leases from NASA Ames. Over the next year, it will fly several FAA-approved missions at an altitude below 1500 feet over the waters of the South Bay, including the Dumbarton Bridge.But, as hoped, Pathfinder “superheated” when its skin was warmed by the sun, causing it to expand and lighten. When pr...

Skelton: It’s about time California built Sites Reservoir California’s state government began drawing up plans for Sites Reservoir in the Sacramento Valley 70 years ago. And it still only exists on paper.So, kudos to Gov. Gavin Newsom for deciding that it’s finally time to put this tardy project on the fast track.Fast track means there’ll be limited time for any opponent to contest the project in court on environmental grounds.Newsom used a new law he pushed through the Legislature in June aimed at making it easier to build transportation, clean energy and water infrastructure by expediting lawsuits under the California Environmental Quality Act.Sites is the first project to be fast-tracked.Biggest since 1979It will be the biggest dam built in California in roughly a half century, since 1979, when the federal government completed New Melones in Calaveras County.It will also be the first major dam constructed since 1999 when the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California finished Diamond Valley in Riverside County.Much of the public...

Wolf-dog hybrids are becoming more popular — and that’s not a good thing

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:34:49 GMT

Wolf-dog hybrids are becoming more popular — and that’s not a good thing “Public warned as yellow-eyed wolf-dog hybrid on the loose,” Newsweek alerted in a recent headline. “Wolf hybrid spotted roaming outskirts of California town,” warned the Independent. This was, of course, in addition to all the local news and social media coverage this local story received.Shadow, the dog in question, is indeed a dog-wolf hybrid but he wasn’t lurking around looking for Goldilocks. He had escaped from his home in Santa Rosa and had been running scared for five days. Fortunately, he was caught and safely returned to his guardian.For those familiar with dog-wolf hybrids, the fact that Shadow would run away and start roaming is no surprise. These dogs are among the best escape artists. They can easily scale a 6-foot fence from standing still and are known to dig their way under any obstacle. They’re also persistent — so once they learn they can escape, they’ll likely try new tactics.Not surprisingly, they also require a lot of space — at least a half-acre of securely fe...
