Yeah its more efficient for sure, but coffee/tea/other caffeine producing plants have more alkaloids than just caffeine in them. Pure THC feels different than cannabis, plain nicotine is different than tobacco, etc. Yeah it will do the job, but elements of the experience are missing. Ever notice that the caffeine buzz from tea feels different than from coffee? Its not just the amount. Also, coffee and tea are tasty and come with a ritual that in my opinion is just as important as the drug itself. Pulling a shot of espresso and sipping on it does more for me in the morning than just chugging something caffeinated. And you can control the amount of caffeine you get to a certain degree. Most Arabica coffee contains close to 0.5%-1% caffeine by weight after roasting, so I know my shot of espresso made with 18g of beans is going to be a little under 130mg of caffeine on average accounting for less than perfect extraction.

My issue with that is that if he were caught via illegal surveillance so soon after the fact, it seems strange that they wouldn’t have caught him during the planning/prep stages using said surveillance.

Some friends and I used to soak a tennis ball in lighter fluid, light it on fire, and play “hacky sack” with it. I’m completely shocked none of us ended up with any bad burns.

Edit: to be fair I do have plenty of burns but they are all from baking or getting baked, not from playing with fire.

I agree it looks kind of like a phone. But, and take this with a big grain of salt because I didn’t use Gnome for very long at all, I thought it was really nice to navigate. I ended up using the mouse much less than I do now with Cinnamon.
