#BME1802 @ProfBouwmeester An electrical panel circuit breaker will turn off automatically if it draws more amperage than what it’s rated for. This prevents electrical fires due to overheating of the wires.

@seketulakasah PSA to ppl commenting asking why this happens (because there isn’t enough awareness of it being a treatable condition): this is known as ptosis and is defined by a partial drooping of the upper eyelid due to weakening of eyelid muscles. Good news: it can be fixed with surgery!

If you ever get too high off weed, smell black pepper!

The phytocannabinoid THC in weed and the terpene Beta-Caryophyllene in black pepper are agonists of one another for the CB2 receptor - I.e. BCP competes with THC for binding to the receptor that induces a psychoactive high

@ProfBouwmeester Poorly designed tally counter VS its well designed counterpart: the former’s thumb tally button requires a lot of force to depress it, causing strain on the muscles in the thumb after an 8hr work-shift. The latter is smaller, lighter, and easier to press #BME1802
