Re: Cannabis-Infused Edibles 101: What to Know About Dosing, Potency, and Labeling

Joel Andrew Glovier — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 01:39:42 -0000

>Another important factor is whether you consumed the edible on an empty stomach or after you’ve already eaten. An empty stomach will feel the effects much more quickly, while a full stomach won’t hit you as hard. In order to avoid feeling uncomfortable when eating an infused product, you may want to take Lindsay’s advice: “Eat a meal, and then try an edible. Not vice versa. Food doesn’t have the same effect for edibles as it does for alcohol. If you feel like you have taken too much, eating a meal can actually push more into your system rather than dilute what’s already there.”

This is scientifically innacurate. These two published studies show the opposite (as counter-intuitive as it sounds) is actually true. Consuming cannabis when you've already eaten is actually more effective because of how the digestion process works.

Re: It’s not just you, there’s definitely a problem with the three-finger drag gesture on the new MacBook Pro

Joel Andrew Glovier — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 21:39:42 -0000

Yup, same issue here. It was literally the first problem I noticed while using my new MacBook within the first 15 min. I use that gesture all the time, and it's pretty frustrating for it now to work as it's supposed to on a brand new machine.

Great thoughts, Kyle.

I love this perspective.

I'd really like to get the music from the P90X3 Yoga class on iTunes. Every time I do that workout I wish I could get that music for listening when I'm not watching the DVD. Where can I find it?

Re: We Still Let Harassers Participate In Our Community

Joel Andrew Glovier — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 15:39:07 -0000

Katie thanks for speaking up, and I'm sorry you've had to experience this bullshit. All of it - from the original harasser, to the unacceptable response from organizers, to the continued harassment now that you've shared your story.

Much progress has been made in this area, but shamefully more progress is still left to occur industry. It's not okay for anyone to feel objectified and threatened like this. Ever.

Re: my favorite metaphor for all this following Jesus business

Joel Andrew Glovier — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 23:32:02 -0000

Was just having this exact discussion with my wife earlier in the week. I have really come to despise language that treats your relationship with God like a club you are in or out, because when thinking of it that it its so easy to come to quick conclusions measured against the supposed admission criteria ("Oh I'm definitely in," or "well I must not be in then") about both ourselves and others.

But when you see your and other peoples relationship to God as a journey, it's seems inherently more natural to respect that people are in different parts of that journey, the journey is not identical for everyone, and other important nuances to spiritual reality that in/out thinking does not well serve.

Re: Creating a fullscreen hero DIV for your site header

Great examples. The CSS only version can also be accomplished by using simply height: 100% as long as the parent (i.e. body element) is also set to height 100%.

Re: Got a Headache? Don’t Take Tylenol!

Shannon I've been suffering from migraines since I was a child (am 33 now) and get them on average twice a month. I've started tracking my migraines the past 2 years with an app on my iPhone called Migraine Journal. It's been helpful to identify common triggers, and other patterns.

One thing I've discovered in the past year that has been helpful during a migraine is cannabis. I don't know if you live in a state with legal medical marijuana, but I've found that a small amount of cannabis when I've got a migraine takes it away unlike any other treatment I normally use.

Re: 5 Reasons Why So Many Christians Are Feeling Burned Out Right Now

"...but in voting and arguing for the policies that Jesus would vote and argue for."

Where exactly do you see Jesus doing this in Scripture? The closest he ever came to addressing politics or encouraging his followers to do anything remotely political was basically "yes, you should pay your taxes", and "if a soldier forces you to carry his gear, bless him by doing it willingly". He was also pretty clear that his kingdom was not of this world, and should not be mistaken for any earthly form of government.

"Myth of a Christian Nation" by Greg Boyd presents a compelling argument why attempting to marry the Gospel with politics is contradictory and damaging to the Gospel. Worth a read.

Harry I'm in love with this game right now! The overall ambiance and aesthetic is just stunning, and so relaxing. It makes a great stress-reliever at the end of a long day to sit down with this game and imaging riding through the Swiss Alps, doing backflips and rail slides. I'm a 20+ yrs snowboarder, and I think you absolutely nailed the gameplay, and overall concept. Well done!

I'm also really impressed that you were able to learn to build this game completely solo, as someone with an illustration background! I've been wanting to build an iOS game for a while, and I knew there were frameworks to start with, but still was pretty intimidated. But after hearing how you were able to do this from start to finish, I'm inspired to at least jump in the waters and start building something.

One question I have, is I'm curious if you used GitHub for any part of your workflow? I'm a designer at GitHub, and we talk to a lot of game devs who use our platform for code collaboration, although versioning binary assets has always been a challenge for many of them (we did just release Git Large File Storage yesterday, actually to address this). I'm always interested to hear from game devs who are using GitHub as part of their development workflow.

Your username is a bit misleading. It looks like "GitHub" and made me think you were trying to represent GitHub at first, although I actually work at GitHub so I knew this was not a GitHub account.

Re: A random heretical thought | Avdi's Scrapbook

Joel Andrew Glovier — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:52:41 -0000

Great points - much agreed. In fact, goes along well with a book I'm reading right now by Peter Enns called, "The Bible Tells Me So: why defending Scripture has made us unable to read it."

Enns' theme in the book is the idea that what we read in Hebrew and Christian Scriptures are less a matter of timeless principles to follow, and more matter of seeing a group of people's experience with God from their own perspective, in their own culture, surrounded by an ancient context and letting it speak for what it is, not what we want to make it out to be (namely an exact pattern for living thousands of years later in a cultural context far removed from the original one which produced their experiences with God).

Dan and Cherrie, thanks for creating the most meaningful set of conferences I've ever been a part of. So sad i cannot make it this year, and that this will be the last year, but have so many great memories and connections from the last several years of Front End Conf (and two jobs out of it, too!). Love you guys much, all the best on your next steps.

Re: Of GitHub and Pull Requests (and comics)

Joel Andrew Glovier — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:43:39 -0000

One of the best practices I've seen for projects on GitHub is to have a space in the README or GH Pages documentation site for calling out specifically how contributors should help. I'd love to see every open source project make it that clear for contributors what their preferred process is.

Also, kudos for hanging in there!!
