    From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.

    Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.

    Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette, the filter is less wide and the heat is more easily transferred.

    When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.

    Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).

    I work on the apple ecosystem too, but it came from my tests of making an hackinstosh on an old Lenovo.

    It then discovered that I could use the same tools with the same shell language, doing the same tiling WM etc etc, all of that on an always working OS that I didn’t need to debug when shit got wrong (I was using Arch, BTW).

    From then on I always work on 2nd hand refurbished macs. My daily desk tool in an m2 Mac mini and this thing is amazing. Linux is now only present on my server and gaming PC.

    But maps are on organic maps, not apple 😉

    FFS, today when you look for something on start page or any search engine you get YouTube links or AI shit from non related websites.

    • Video game solution? Check my 30 min video.
    • Tech problems? YouTube and AI telling you to update drivers and reboot, on a website named sport-something.
    • Error 26894? Fucking YouTube video again (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

    At the time you could put Reddit on your search but we all know that won’t be a solution anymore, plus, because of people like me most of Reddit results are now a chain of deleted - deleted - deleted messages 😄

    Achually! Historians said it has been invented in Paris in 1789 and not in Belgium.

    Belgium did import those after learning to make them from rotisserie “Chez Pèlerin” in Montmartre, with the success we all know.

    But it seems fries are indeed French. Not that we care about that fact, we prefer eating “des frites belges” as everyone else, they taste better than freedom fries.
