Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:13:10 GMT
When you first get into vaping CBD carts, you may get turned off by “non-natural-sounding” chemicals like propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). However, customers will also notice that most CBD e-juices come with some percentage of these compounds. Heck, if you examined dozens of non-hemp foods and skincare, you’d see plenty of products with VG or PG.VG and PG are essential for producing vapor when you load an e-juice into a compatible vaporizer. As long as companies provide third-party lab results, adult customers usually don’t experience adverse reactions due to VG and PG. However, the amount of VG to PG in your CBD vape carts may alter their flavor and feel. New vapers looking for CBD near me should learn how VG/PG affects e-juices.What Do CBD Vapers Need To Know About VG vs. PG?Interestingly, VG and PG are technically “sugar alcohols.” However, there’s no need to worry about feeling “drunk” when taking these substances. Vape manufacturers use VG and PG because they’...What’s happening with Original Gravity in downtown San Jose?

When Original Gravity closed its doors in February, customers were left wondering why. The craft beer lounge on South First Street in downtown San Jose had been popular for more than 10 years and even survived the COVID-19 pandemic.“The industry changed for bars and beer,” said George Lahlouh, one of Original Gravity’s proprietors who also owns a piece of craft-cocktail lounge Paper Plane and arcade bar MiniBoss.When Original Gravity opened, practically nobody was serving that range of craft beers in downtown San Jose. Not only is that more common now, but local breweries like Camino, Strike and Clandestine have their own taprooms. To Lahlouh and partner Dan Phan, it seemed like a good time for a pivot.George Lahlouh, left, and Dan Phan stand inside the construction site for Eos & Nyx, the restaurant they’re opening at the Paseo building in downtown San Jose in early 2024.

SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) — Italy made a bonus point-winning start to the Rugby World Cup against a Namibia team that made the Azzurri sweat for every point at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Saturday.The 52-8 scoreline was Italy’s best ever against Namibia.But the seven-try victory with perfect goalkicking from Tommaso Allan was given a flattering sheen by three tries in the last nine minutes as Namibia finally flagged.First-game nerves, the baking sunshine, and the Namibians’ never-say-die attitude stymied Italy from showing its greater experience for the first hour.Namibia hooker Torsten van Jaarsveld’s yellow card gave Italy the break it needed to score two tries in the first 15 minutes. But when it was back to 15 on 15, Namibia grew into the game and scored its only try — an impressive team effort — and worried Italy well into the second half.Another lineout maul set up Italy’s third converted try for 24-8, and the backline finally clicked for exciting wings...Children in remote Alaska aim for carnival prizes, show off their winnings and launch fireworks

AKIACHAK, Alaska (AP) — There’s nothing more universal than kids enjoying themselves at a summer carnival, whether it’s in the middle of a heat wave in New York City or in much cooler weather on the Alaska tundra.In mid-August, the children of Akiachak, Alaska, eagerly shelled out dollar after dollar hoping to win a stuffed animal when the village held its annual carnival before the start of school. Children stood in long lines waiting their turn to throw rings around soda bottles, roll a bowling ball to knock down pins, or throw darts.Many children proudly displayed their prizes, including some wearing stuffed snakes around their necks — perhaps an odd prize choice in Alaska, which is “famous for its complete absence of snakes,” the Alaska Department of Fish and Game notes on its website. (For the record, the nation’s largest state has no lizards or freshwater turtles, either.)Makeshift carnival booths were framed of wood and covered with a blue tarp to protect workers from t...La madre de un niño de 10 años de Mississippi que fue arrestado por orinar en público exige disculpas y el despido de los agentes involucrados

PARIS (AP) — New Zealand drafted flanker Ethan Blackadder into its Rugby World Cup squad on Saturday amid concerns over the fitness of captain Sam Cane.The All Blacks named Blackadder as an injury replacement for wing Emoni Narawa, who is out of the tournament, and chose to add loose forward cover after Cane was ruled out of Friday’s opening-game loss to France just before kickoff with a back problem.Blackadder’s call-up was to “reinforce the loose forward stock,” coach Ian Foster said, although he added the management team was confident that openside flanker Cane’s injury was ”not long-term.”“Having Ethan in just gives us a little bit of extra protection in that space,” Foster said.Foster said he was still uncertain if Cane would be available for New Zealand’s second Pool A game against Namibia next Friday.“Whether he’ll be right for Namibia, I couldn’t tell you at the moment,” Foster said. “But the medics don’t seem overly concerned ...Prince William Co. commonwealth’s attorney candidate addresses past social media activity

(CNN) — El presidente de EE.UU., Joe Biden, esperaba convencer a las economías más grandes del mundo de que apoyaran a Ucrania durante la cumbre del G20 de este sábado en India y al mismo tiempo presionaran en favor de la inversión estadounidense en el mundo en desarrollo.Los diplomáticos habían estado trabajando frenéticamente para redactar una declaración conjunta final de los líderes en el período previo a la cumbre, encontrando problemas al redactar un lenguaje sobre la invasión rusa de Ucrania.Pero este sábado, mientras la cumbre estaba en marcha, los líderes acordaron en una declaración conjunta que “todos los estados deben abstenerse de la amenaza o el uso de la fuerza para buscar adquisiciones territoriales”.Aún así, en un reflejo de las profundas divisiones entre las naciones del G20, la declaración reconoció que “había diferentes puntos de vista y evaluaciones de la situación”.¿Qué es el G20, quiénes lo integran y qué objetivos tiene?La declaración representó un logr...Latest news
