Nuh uh I asked gpt and it said: The impact of AI on human intelligence and decision-making depends largely on how we choose to use and integrate these technologies. AI can serve as a powerful tool to enhance learning, creativity, and problem-solving when used thoughtfully. However, there is a concern that over-reliance on AI for basic tasks or critical thinking might lead to skill atrophy or reduced mental engagement in certain areas.

Ultimately, AI's influence on human cognition will depend on factors such as education, individual habits, and societal norms. Promoting responsible use, critical thinking, and continuous learning can help ensure that AI complements rather than diminishes human intelligence.

I guess it depends on what you are trying to extract from what :) For smells and taste I like cold extractions best.

Didnt say anything about dry ice, but that would certainly be useful to quick freeze the plant material and crush it, more surface area is always good. I usually keep the ethanol around 18f, it still works as a solvent and you can filter out any excess water crystals when you are done if everything is kept below 30.

This method works well for cannabinoid extraction, which is what we were often working with, just fyi

In Albuquerque we have more ghost bikes than riders nowadays

It will not, that is why it is perfect for this type of extraction.

Cold fractionation with polar solvents is the best way to prevent degradation of the desirable compounds... IMHO Heat degrades and destroys many of the flavonoids and terpenes that you'd want from an herbal extraction.

Surprised with your background that you never needed that method, but we have found it to be useful for NMR and mass spec work.

A few months? You'll get plenty of chlorophyll and other undesirables pulled that way. If you just want the flavor and essential oil you can freeze your plant material and the everclear, combine while still as cold as possible, shake for a few minutes... Maybe try a little bit and see if that might save you some time and give a better tasting extraction.

95% ethanol is pleanty strong enough for a quick extraction imho

I'm so tired

??

Hurry it up already, we got shit to do

Why would he be allowed bail?
