When trying to pick up a lady, there’s a few things you should keep in mind: 1. If she doesn’t want to sleep with you, the last thing you should do is freak the f*ck out about it over text. 2. Always send a compliment her way, even if you don’t mean it. and 3. Try your hardest not to be creepy — women tend to hate that.

Unfortunately for the majority, the latter is difficult. And granted, I can’t blame you. Going up to a hot girl and trying to get them to like you is hard. It takes serious balls, and sometimes things can get really awkward. But when you’re doing it over text, is there even an excuse for that? I mean, everything is premeditated. Think before you send. When you don’t — especially in the case of this sad, sad Redditor below — things tend to wane more on the creepy side than awkward.

The below messages are between a restaurant employee and a female diner. They seem relatively normal until you realize that the woman didn’t give her number up willingly — she left it for management in hopes of them finding her lost card. Instead, she got this creepy guy instead.

Here’s how it played out:

Get this: McDonald’s is dishing out All-You-Can-Eat fries. That’s right. Unlimited fries. And no, we’re definitely not fat enough already.

Pants ripping, chairs buckling, time to get fried.

Dubbed “The McDonald’s of The Future,” the franchise in St. Joseph Missouri allows diners to customize their own burgers, chicken sandwiches, desserts and all you-can-eat fries via a touchscreen.

“There really are hundreds of different choices to build the burger of your dreams,” said the franchise owner Chris Habiger in the St. Joseph News-Press. “Once you’ve placed your order, you can find your seat because we’ll bring it out to you.” Hmmm… fancy.

A lot has changed for McDonald’s in the last 40 years in St. Joseph. Customers connect with smart devices and social media, and the food choices have also evolved.

“Today’s customers seek a comfortable and inviting atmosphere,” Habiger said. “So we’re committed to providing a modern look and feel to this restaurant.”

One of the key features of the St. Joseph McDonald’s is the play pen, which appears to be designed for kids but is secretly intended for adults. You burn off those calories on the monkey bar, then go for the 10th bag of fries. Got it?

The St. Joseph McDonald’s will open in July, so start planning your roadtrip now.

NumbersFest / Rob Berry

Last weekend, college students and party animals from all over the midwest made the trip to Athens, Ohio to party in celebration of #14Fest–the biggest college music festival of the year.

As you can probably guess from the number, this year was the 14th iteration of Number Fest aka the “Premier College Music Festival Experience.” What started out as one stage and BYOB back in 2003 is now a two-day extravaganza featuring the likes of The Chain Smokerz, Lil Dicky, Fetty Wap, Big Gigantic, and many more.

Thankfully, most of the people in attendance were too busy partying the weekend away to be bothered taking (this isn’t Coachella) but we did manage to find a couple of great photos from the festival. Check those out below, then stay tuned as we start coming up with more videos.

We love a good doppelganger, especially if it’s of a celebrity we already love. Hence why we insist on covering every single Kim Kardashian lookalike in the world (Kamilla Osman, Sonia Ali, Christine Ham, keep the Instagram selfies coming). But today, we won’t be talking about any of the Kardashians. Instead we’re opting for an Angelina Jolie doppelganger who’s so hot, she might be better than the original.

Meet Mara Teigen, a 21-year-old model currently signed to Wilhelmina International. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but Teigen also has a loyal social media following and has been featured in several ads for Milani cosmetics. While she’s still climbing her way to the top of the modeling world, Teigen recently started gaining more attention for her uncanny resemblance to Hollywood smokeshow Angelina Jolie. That’s a pretty awesome compliment, if you ask us. But swiping through her photos, she might be even hotter than Jolie herself.

We’ll let you decide where you stand. Check out her hottest photos below.

It’s not every day you get to hang out with legendary IndyCar driver, Mario Andretti, but our Miss COED 2016 winner did just that. Oh, and she got to go for a little joy ride with him. NBD.

We invited Kendall Fuhrman to hang out with us (and Mr. Andretti) this past weekend at the IndyCar Grand Prix in Long Beach, CA- because what’s better than hot chicks and race cars? If you ask literally any dude, the answer is nothing.

The 19-year-old international relations and global business major (she’s a smarty) goes to the University of Southern California and is a sister in Pi Beta Phi. She’s also a self-proclaimed “adrenaline junkie” – no wonder she had no problem hopping into the back of an IndyCar.

“I love riding motorcycles, wake boarding, snowboarding, cliff diving, surfing, scuba diving, and [hope to] one day skydive!” she said. “I love the outdoors, and I’m not afraid to get a little dirty.”

Hold up. Did you just die and go to heaven as well? She’s perf.

So how exactly did this So-Cal girl who just got back from a year of studying abroad in Paris end up as the winner of Miss COED 2016? Well, easy. She just answered a few questions and let America fall in love with her.

In addition to her IndyCar weekend, we’re flying Kendall to Jamaica with her family and friends because she’s awesome (and so are they). She also received a tablet, laptop, Vans sneakers, a bathing suit, flip flops, personalized Miss COED 2016 clothing, AND MORE. No, this is not a drill. So what are you waiting for? You just might get to go for a spin with Mario Andretti too.

Jealous you didn’t send in a submission yourself or know someone who should have? No worries! We’re accepting submissions for Miss COED 2017 beginning Wednesday, April 20.

“I had an amazing time this weekend. Thank you so much for the opportunity!” Kendall said. Anytime, girl. Way to kill it this weekend. 👊

Bros from the Sigma Chi fraternity at the University of Mississippi are in for a rude awakening. Humiliating women in public in the name of “philanthropy” is not the way to MC a Derby Days fundraiser.

Derby Days is a week-long competition among Sigma Chi’s chapters to see who can raise the most money for cancer research. Girls donate blood, organize dances, and compete in lip-sync contests. Over the years, Derby Days has raised millions for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Looks great right? An all-around great time, and for a great cause.

On Friday night, Sigma Chi at the University of Mississippi was celebrating the end of Derby Days when the MC’s decided to ask girls in the dance competition some really inappropriate questions.

“Which Sigma Chi would you most like to go down on?”

“What kind of sausage do you prefer? Linked or Sigma Chi.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

The incident elicited an immediate response from the university. A Title IX investigation by the University of Mississippi is underway. Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi News, released a statement on Saturday regarding the allegations.

“The university takes the report alleging a hostile environment very seriously,” said Rebecca Bressler, director of Equal Opportunity and Regulatory Compliance at UM. “It is important that members of our community feel safe and supported – actions that undermine that goal will not be tolerated.”

Think before you speak — it’s literally that simple.

Rashan Gary was ranked the number one college football recruit in the country this past year, and schools were willing to do whatever it took to get him to their campus. But the day before his official visit to Clemson University, Gary was discouraged to join the school’s football team by some guy coined “Clemson Dan.” In what seemed to be an effort to dissuade him from coming to the South Carolina campus, Clemson Dan left a disturbing racist voicemail that made several references to the KKK.

According to NorthJersey.com, Gray — who played as a defensive tackle for his high school Paramus Catholic — received the message through his high school:

“Yes, this here is ‘Clemson Dan,’ and this message is for Mr. Rashan Gary,” the man said on the voice mail. “We just wantin’ to know if you’re coming down here for a visit, you better be serious about it, ’cause there’s only two things we love and that’s Clemson football and the KKK.”

“If you’re coming down here, you gotta do just like the KKK and be serious about your football. Clemson and the KKK, the two things we love the most,” the caller said.

“So you better not be fooling around, if you’re gonna get a visit, you better be commitin’,” “Clemson Dan” said on the voice mail.

“So, just be aware, this ain’t no fooling thing. We Clemson. We big-time football down here.”

“We don’t take no losers, no stragglers, no lazies, no dumb people,” the voice mail from “Clemson Dan” continued, “so if you’re coming down here, you gotta do just like the KKK and be serious about your football.”

“So if you’re coming down here, you better be serious,” “Clemson Dan” ended his phone message. “All right Rashan Gary, you better be the real deal. Over and out, this is ‘Clemson Dan’ saying goodbye.”

The school immediately informed the Paramus Police Department and the incident is currently under investigation. Gary wound up signing with the Michigan Wolverines just a few days later. Clearly, he’s better off for it.

This dude has serious balls.

Stuntman Damien Walters is a former gymnast who’s the muscle behind jaw-dropping action sequences in films like Captain America: The First Avenger and Kingsman: The Secret Service. But Hollywood wasn’t thrilling enough for him; he’s onto Formula 1 race cars.

Last month in Mexico City, Walters performed a freakish backflip over a Formula E race car. The electric car was speeding at 60mph yet somehow, the man had no fear. Don’t believe us? He had his f*cking back to the car. How insane is that?

More than muscle and agility, what he needed here was precision and timing. Because a second too early his back would clip the car, a second too late, well, he’ll get run over.

Walters practiced a few times with stunt driver Alistair Whitton before attempting the epic jump.

Check it out.

Despite the Instagram posts, Waka Flocka can’t handle all that weed. The rapper was recently hospitalized in Seattle after eating too many marijuana edibles. The reason? He was on a vegan diet and the edibles were packed with GMOs, causing a pretty bad reaction.

According to XXL Magazine,

Waka Flocka Flame was in Seattle recently enjoying some flowers when he ran into a health snag. You see, Waka’s on a hardcore vegan diet, so when he ingested a couple weed edibles before and after his show in Seattle, he didn’t realize they were loaded with GMOs. Those GMOs can make for a bad reaction in the stomach of a vegan who’s used to eating only natural foods, and that’s exactly what happened with Waka.

[Below] you can see Waka in an ambulance after eating too many of the delicious treats. Unfortunately, the incident made Waka and his team miss their flight to the East Coast where he’s set to do a number of shows, including a 4/20 show at Webster Hall in New York City. The shows are still going on as scheduled, and the 4/20 one specifically will be with DJ Whoo Kid as the Turn Up Godz invade NYC.

Is it weird that I’m more surprised he went vegan? When you have the munchies, do you really want to inhale a head of kale? No. Maybe that’s why he ate too many weed brownies — the man was hungry. I can’t blame him, going vegan is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. Get you sh*t together, Waka.

Admit it — you’ve checked out Craiglist’s casual encounters section. Whether or not you were looking for a serious hookup isn’t the point (although, let’s not pretend that you didn’t reach out to at least one person), but we’ve all definitely looked. And for the most part, the personal ads are pretty entertaining when they’re not downright creepy. But imagine getting a message from one of those people without posting a salacious ad. Hilarious right?

Right.

Just ask Bill Walsh, a 23-year-old personal trainer who got a random text from some dude looking for a threesome on Craigslist. Unfortunately for the nameless stranger, calling Bill “big boy” didn’t even come close to helping him seal the deal. But a conversation ensued nonetheless, and the end result is hilarious.

Here’s how it went:

After how smoothly that went I’m kind of surprised ol’ Billy boy here wasn’t interested. I’m sure he kept the stranger’s number anyway… you know, in case of emergency.

Just like Verizon gives its customers inside access to the Verizon IndyCar Series, COED will be giving you first-hand access to the thrills of the series all season long. As part of our partnership and coverage of INDYCAR racing this season, we joined USC student and Miss COED of the Year 2016 Kendall Fuhrman at the 2016 Long Beach Grand Prix.

Once we were wheels down in Long Beach, things kicked into gear immediately. I mean, what else would expect from some of the fastest drivers in the world? Kendall first met with Mario Andretti (possibly the most famous racer in automobile history), and then hopped into a two-seat Indy car with the legend for an extremely fast lap. It’s called the “Fastest Seat In Sports” for a reason.

By the way, if you’re a Verizon customer and the thought of racing alongside a sports icon like Mario Andretti is something you’d be interested in, download the INDYCAR Mobile app to win exclusive prizes like the “Fastest Seat In Sports.”

Speaking of “Fastest Seats,” let’s talk a bit about some of what makes the Verizon IndyCar Series so exciting: speed, speed, and more speed. Other than drag racing, IndyCars are the fastest race cars in the world. Even though it’s a rare occurrence, Indy cars have been clocked at speeds exceeding 240 miles per hour. More often, though, they will be driven in excess of 200 MPH.

At just 225 MPH, an IndyCar is driving the length of a football field, plus 10 feet, every second. 

It’s not just the monster engines that gives IndyCar their speed, it’s actually the light weight of the cars (maximum of 1525 pounds, excluding gas and driver). But that light weight comes at the sacrifice of driver safety. Yes, IndyCar barricades were the first to be outfitted with SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction Barrier), but the IndyCars are still open at the top. Incredibly, IndyCar drivers not only have to deal with the speeds of over 200 MPH+, they have to do it at over 2 G.

At Turn One in the Indy500, drivers withstand an average of 2.5 g for nearly 8 seconds.

Thankfully, you’re not the one who has to handle manual steering (no power steering), manual shifting, 20 competitors, zero room for error, and all at speeds of 200 MPH+. But with the INDYCAR Mobile app, you’ll be able to get in the driver seat all season long via the Verizon app’s live stream.

Throughout the Verizon IndyCar Series, COED is going to be showing you some awesome stuff you’ve never seen before. We’ll be taking a quick pitstop to catch our breath, but stay tuned.

It’s a well-known fact that Playboy playmates are some of the hottest women in the world. Hence why it makes perfect sense that Daisy Lea, an interior design major at UCLA and very flexible ballerina, has snagged the coveted title once before. Here’s hoping she gets it again — we want more photos ASAP.

The blonde beauty was Playboy‘s Miss May 2015 in South Africa and her Instagram is something you’re going to want to check out, if you aren’t already a loyal follower. Not only is her feed full of beach selfies and scantily-clad photo shoots, but she also shows off how flexible her insanely long limbs are… and it’s not something you’re going to want to miss. Trust us on that one.

First, let’s give credit where credit is due: Philadelphia has the greatest cheesesteaks in the f*cking world. There’s nothing better than shredded up meat covered in Cheez Wiz and topped with sautéed onions. I’m literally drooling just thinking about.

With that being said, we can now get to the point: despite the amazing delicacy, the city offers some of the worst sports fans in the world. Not only are they rude, but they’re sore losers and prone to beating the sh*t out of people for no reason after a bad game. So the fact that something happened during last night’s Flyers game is less than surprising. But honestly, we didn’t think the diehard sports fans would stoop this low.

So, let’s back up — everyone who attended last night’s game got light-up wristbands designed to honor the late Ed Snider.

Seems relatively harmless, right? I mean, the man was a key member in the Philadelphia Flyers’ history. Fans should at least respect that, regardless of how much alcohol they guzzled before the game. But alas, not even a moment of silence could go down properly… which should indicate how awful the night progressed.

Yikes, alright. But of course, it got worse. Like, way way worse. After a string of calls deemed questionable by Flyers fans, attendees started throwing their bracelets onto the ice.

One a**hole even threw one directly at Dmitry Orlov, a Washington Capitols player who was receiving medical attention on the bench after getting his head slammed into the boards.

WTF really?! Only in Philadelphia.

The State University of New York-Buffalo sent out 5,109 acceptance letters to prospective students this past Wednesday. The problem? None of those students had actually been accepted to the school— or at least, not yet.

According to university officials, the mistake was made when an incorrect email list was generated from the applicant database. Those people were then sent an email saying, congratulations, they had been accepted into the school of their choice! Except, they weren’t. The celebratory ice cream cake hadn’t had a chance to properly melt before those applicants were sent another email, this one with the unfortunate news.

“The University at Buffalo sincerely regrets this error, as well as any stress it may have caused students and families who received the letters,” read the hasty statement made by the university. “We know that this can be a stressful time for prospective students and their families. The University at Buffalo deeply regrets this unfortunate error in communication.”

This is far from the first time a university has made this kind of mistake. Last year, Carnegie Mellon accidentally sent out acceptance emails to 800 rejected applicants for the university’s master’s program in computer science.

Of course, that’s probably not any consolation to those students affected.

“Within three to four hours following the discovery of this error, the university sent a letter of explanation, offering its sincerest apologies to those who were affected,” said John DellaContrada, a spokesman for the university, in a second email, sent a few hours after the statement.

Currently, the University at Buffalo has around 30,000 students. According to Sky News, the school has received 25,270 applications for admission this year, 5,500 of which was expected to enroll for the autumn 2016 semester.

“It is important to note that the admissions applications of this group of students are still under review and the students are still being considered for acceptance by the university,” school officials said in another statement, this time addressed to The Buffalo News.

Talk about emotional whiplash.

University of Illinois

University of Illinois students are currently under fire after a photo from an alleged racist spring break party surfaced on social media. Of course, whether or not the party was actually racist still seems debatable, but people are upset about it nonetheless.

The Alpha Phi sorority and Acacia fraternity threw the party in early April, and students are still talking about it. According to The Daily Illini, the photo in question is of a spring break event, where students were dressed in costume.

The photo is of a “Spring Break” event and was not intended to be racist the statement said. During spring break, the girls wearing TSA costumes traveled to Mexico via airport with a girl pictured wearing a sombrero, according to the statement.

“The individual suspected to be in a chief stance and Native American imagery is dressed as a peacock DJ from Cancun, and had no intentions of mocking an inappropriate mascot,” it said.

Here’s the photo everyone is up in arms about:

As referenced above, the two groups offered a joint statement that was half an apology half an explanation of WTF they were even doing (that photo is really blurry, so it was kind of necessary). It was really thorough and can be found in its entirety on the group’s Facebook page. Here’s an excerpt:

The theme of the event captured in that picture was “Spring Break” and not meant to be rooted in racist sentiment. The girls dressed in TSA uniforms were dressed that way because these girls traveled to an airport to get to their spring break destination of Mexico where another girl, who is also pictured, purchased a souvenir sombrero that she is seen wearing. The individual suspected to be in a chief stance and Native American imagery is dressed as a peacock DJ from Cancun, and had no intentions of mocking an inappropriate mascot.

Unrelated to the theme, an Acacia member who is a first generation Syrian-American had one of his close friends visiting from out of town that is also Syrian. The member knew this friend from the time he spent attending an international school in Lebanon, and his friend now lives in Dubai. One of the biggest connections between the two is their Middle-Eastern heritage and they thought it would be appropriate to celebrate it by going out wearing keffiyehs, an article of clothing reflective of their Middle-Eastern heritage. When someone asked to take this picture, which was taken in the member’s home, the two happily obliged to squeeze in, totally unaware of what costume the girls behind them were wearing. This Acacia member is actively involved in the Syrian-American community and has even been interviewed multiple times about the struggles of being a Syrian-American in light of the given Syrian Crisis.

Since posting, the responses have been relatively mixed.

So, who’s in the wrong? You tell us.

If you’re trying to make marijuana or weed edibles, you should learn how to make cannabis oil simply because cannabis oil tends to be more potent than marijuana butter (aka cannabutter). Of course, the biggest factor in strength is the quality, strain, and amount of marijuana material that you use, but when the playing field is level, canna-oil will win 10/10 times. Another benefit of cannabis oil is that it is something that can worked into nearly any recipe or food.

Is cannabis oil harder to make than cannabutter? Absolutely, but nothing worthwhile was ever easy. Along the way, we’ll actually also be making hash oil that we’ll eventually turn into cannabis oil. So if you’d like to vape or dab your oil, stop before we turn it into cannabis oil.

This is the perfect guide to 4/20 or whenever else you might like to take a little trip. Before we learn how to make the magical medicine, though, let’s learn a bit about the history of cannabis oil.

What Is Cannabis Oil?

Cannabis oil is a liquid extracted from Cannabis plants that can be used as either medicine or for recreational purposes. Its use dates back to 6000 BCE when the Chinese used to make food using cannabis oil and seeds. But now with modern technology and technique, we can be far more effective with the results we get from our marijuana plants.

Cannabis oil is different from cannabinoid oil in that cannabis oil has high levels of both Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD), whereas cannabinoid oil has only high levels of CBD.

As you probably know, THC is the active chemical in marijuana that’s responsible for the psychoactive effect. CBD has no psychoactive effect but does have some medicinal use. So if you’re looking to get high, it’s important that you make cannabis oil.

By making cannabis oil, we’ll be effectively removing all plant materials from the marijuana plant and will only be left with pure THC and CBD. The potency of this oil is why it’s so important that you only ingest small amounts, and only then take more if you need it.

How Do Cannabis Oil Edibles Work?

When ingested, cannabis oil travels through your throat into stomach (duh.) But once it’s in your belly, your liver actually turns Δ9-THC, into the the more psychoactive 11-hydroxy-THC. From there, the THC travels into your bloodstream and into your brain and the rest of your body.

So why do edibles give people a stronger feeling? Remember how we said that the 11-hydroxy-THC produced by your live was more psychoactive than THC? If you smoke or vaporize the weed, 11-hydroxy-THC is never produced. The only thing entering your blood is regular (but still nice) THC that comes through your lungs.

**That fun fact about 11-hydroxy-THC is true about all edibles/drinkables, not just cannabis oil by the way.**

Materials Needed To Make Cannabis Oil

There are different ways to make cannabis oil, but today we’re going to show you the safer way that doesn’t involve butane, C02, or possibly blowing yourself up. But since you’ll be heating and evaporating alcohol into the air it’s very important to open all windows and use fans to ensure proper ventilation. NO OPEN FLAME.

• Marijuana. Obviously you’re going to need cannabis if you’re going to make cannabis oil. We’ll get into the specifics of the marijuana you’ll want to use, but you should know that at the very least you should be using at least an ounce of weed using this method. I recognize that’s going to be a barrier of entry to some.

• Alcohol. You’re either going to need ethanol (Everclear) or 99.5% isopropyl alcohol (which you can buy at pretty much any drug store). You’ll need 32 ounces of alcohol for each ounce of marijuana you’ll use.

• Bowls. You’ll need a couple of bowls.

• A rice cooker. It doesn’t need to be particularly big or anything. In fact, the smaller the better! You can also use double boiler method on an electric stove but don’t use double boiler on gas stovetop!

• Skillet. You’ll need this to be a tall enough to boil water and big enough to fit the rice cooker bowl into.

• A house fan. Keep your house fan blowing over the rice cooker out the window at all times.

• Cooking thermometer. Use this to check the temperature of your cooking medium (the rice cooker or double boiler).

• Cheese cloth. This is what you’ll use to strain and the marijuana plant material from the potent oil.

• Plastic Spatula. This is what you’ll use to gather your awesome oil when it’s done.

• Parchment Paper. This is what you’ll use to store your oil on initially. DON’T USE WAX PAPER

• Coconut Oil. This is what you’ll combine with your cannabis oil to make sure its edible.

• A Freezer. This is where you’ll store the cannabis oil after it’s done.

Which Strain of Marijuana To Use For Cannabis Oil

(Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

For this method of cooking cannabis oil, the strain of marijuana you use should have an effect on the strength of the oil you use. Ideally you use a quality strain of marijuana, but considering that you’ll need a larger amount of the plant material, it’s probably best for your wallet to find some middle ground.

Using an 1 ounce of trim, shake, and even some stems, you can expect to get around 2 grams of cannabis oil. If you’re using quality plants, an ounce can net up to 3 grams (although that’s probably unlikely).

How To Make Cannabis Oil

And now for the part you’ve been waiting for, a guide on how to make cannabis oil. There’s a bit of preparation (that begins the night before) and cleanup involved, but all in all the process shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours. Steps one, two, and three should be done the night before the “cook.”

• Step One: Place the ethynol or isoporopyl alcohol (32 oz per 1 oz of marijuana) in the freezer overnight. Cold alcohol will separate the resin (the good stuff) from the flowers more easily.

• Step Two: Dry your ground marijuana completely by placing it in the oven at 110º for ten minutes. By removing most of the water from the plant, you make this process more smooth.

• Step Three: Crumble the dry marijuana with your hands, than place in a jar. Make sure you gather any keef or crumbs into that jar. Freeze the jar overnight. Dream happy thoughts.

• Step Four: Wake up and realize that you’re about to make some awesome cannabis oil. Once you’re ready to cook, place your ground marijuana into a pot and pour half of your cold alcohol into the pot. Stir gently, allowing all of the alcohol to soak into the marijuana.

• Step Five: Put that marijuana/alcohol mixture into the freezer for an hour.

• Step Six: Place cheese cloth over new, clean bowl. Remove mixture from freezer and pour the plant/alcohol mixture on top of the cheese cloth (see photo above). Once you’ve removed all of the mixture from the first bowl, squeeze and strain the fluid from the cheesecloth into new bowl. This liquid will soon become your cannabis oil, so make sure you get all the liquid out of the cloth. In this process, the alcohol strips the THC from the marijuana, leaving the THC in the alcohol.

• Step Seven: Remember that other half of alcohol you still have left? Gather the ground, wet marijuana and put it back into the old bowl. Make sure to keep it separated from the liquid! Cover the already wet marijuana with the remaining alcohol. Stir, freeze, and repeat Step Six. After straining the second, frozen, mixture through the cheese cloth, all the THC should have been stripped from the marijuana and extracted into the alcohol.

• Step Eight: Now we’ll remove the alcohol and keep the THC.

To do this, we’re going to pour the green alcohol liquid into a rice cooker (or double boiler when using an electric stove). Make sure that all open flames are extinguished, a fan is blowing over your cooking medium (cooker or boiler), and that your windows are open. Alcohol fumes aren’t just poisonous, they’re explosive. So don’t skip this step.

YouTube / BurntMD

Once you’ve poured the alcohol into your rice cooker, turn the cooker on. Rice cookers are great because they distribute the heat evenly around the surface. After a time, you should start to see the liquid start to boil. As the alcohol begins to evaporate, it’s important that you move the cooker around and tilt it a bit to ensure that no part of the liquid burns. See photo above.

YouTube / BurntMD

• Step Nine: Once the liquid is gone and it’s turned into sticky oil that doesn’t move, turn the cooker (or electric stove) off. Your cannabis oil should look like the photo above.

• Step Ten: Claim your reward! Use your plastic or rubber spatula to scoop up the cannabis oil from the pot and place the oil on parchment paper. You may find that scraping the oil off the spatula and onto the paper with a toothpick is best. For all intents and purposes, you’ve just made hash oil.

STOP! If you take no further steps, the cannabis oil that you’re left with is something that you can vaporize or dab. You can’t smoke it. But if you’re hoping to make cannabis oil for edibles, you’re going to need to take one extra step.

Step Eleven: To make sure that the cannabis oil you’ve just prepared is ready for ingestion, you’ll need to add some sort of fat to solution so the liver can better absorb and process the THC into 11-hydroxy-THC. For this, we suggest coconut oil, which has been the go-to substance to use for cannabis oil.

If you have a scale, we find that it’s best to use a 2-1 ratio of coconut oil to cannabis oil. If you have two grams of cannabis oil, combine that with four grams of coconut oil into a clean pot. If you haven’t yet cleaned out your rice cooker, you should actually put the ingredients into the rice cooker or double boiler–you’ll get all the remaining cannabis oil out of the pot!

So once you’ve got the 2-1 ratio in your rice cooker pot, add a capful of water into pot. Place the pot on to of a pan with of already-boiling water. Keep this double-boiler method going for around 120 seconds, always making sure to tilt and stir the rice cooker pot so that nothing burns.

Step Twelve: Once bubbles start forming in the 2-1 ratio (about 2 minutes in), remove the rice cooker from the boiling water and scrape your the amazing and potent cannabis oil into a mason jar.

You did it!

Cannabis Oil FAQs

Can I Overcook The Cannabinoids Out Of My Edibles?

Yes, that’s why it’s important to know the temperatures when you cook. When you dry the marijuana in your oven, make sure it’s not a temperature above 120 degrees farenheit. When you decarb your cannabis oil (make the 2-1 ratio), make sure you don’t leave it in the boiler for too long.

Can I Smoke My Cannabis Oil?

No. You cannot smoke cannabis oil. You can, however, vaporize it if you haven’t turned it into canna-butter or canna-oil.

Swiss snowboarding champion Estelle Balet was killed in an avalanche on Tuesday during a film shoot in Switzerland. According to local police, despite attempts at CPR, Balet died on the scene, but the exact circumstances of her death are still under investigation.

Who Was Estelle Balet?

The 21-year-old athlete had just won her second world title earlier this month.

“Estelle was the kind of child that could ski before she could walk”, reads her bio on swatch.com. “As she has been living in the mountains ever since she was born, her passions have always been connected with them. At first it was skiing, but it turned to snowboarding when she was 10…”

Particularly, Balet was known for her fearlessness.

“Estelle Balet was a naturally gifted shining star and demonstrated remarkable talent as she quickly became a household name on the Freeride World Tour, bringing home her second title as World Champion just a few weeks ago in Verbier,” the Freeride World Tour said in a statement.

Her last post to Instagram was this photo:

The caption read: “Pretty awesome to get to snowboard with this view.. Can’t wait for more filming next week!”

Balet was filming a movie on Le Portalet, a mountain in southwestern region of Switzerland, near the country’s border with France and Italy. Early Tuesday morning, Balet was one of two skiers to pass through a ravine at around 8 a.m. local time. According to the police statement. This triggered the avalanche, which carried her over 3,000 ft. Air Glaciers, an air ambulance service, was quickly called.

The other skier was uninjured.

Balet had been wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, the police said, and was outfitted with other equipment, such as an airbag. Unfortunately, this safety equipment didn’t help. After being uncovered by rescuers, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

After Shannon Workman was shunned from her University of Nebraska-Omaha sorority Chi Omega, things blew up. And rightfully so — the reasoning made zero sense and the sorority looked like real a**holes afterwards.

Workman was chastised for wearing her sorority’s letters in a Tinder profile photo that had been up for eight months. She was wearing shorts and standing with two other girls, both of which looked just as innocent as Workman did standing in the middle of them. It was literally a harmless photo and not nearly as offensive as some of the other Tinder profiles up these days. But regardless, Workman was kicked out of her sorority for a photo they deemed “provocative.”

Luckily she’s having the last laugh — Tinder CEO and co-founder Sean Rad offered Workman a full year’s scholarship and a paid internship at Tinder’s offices in California after hearing her story.

Rad told BuzzFeed News, “It’s easy to give in and give up. We think what Shannon did sends a very empowering message to young women and college students, which is actually one of Tinder’s largest audiences. Don’t conform, don’t let people tell you your beliefs are wrong just because it’s not the same as their beliefs.”

He continues, “It’s the first time we reached out to someone whose story inspired us and asked them to be part of the team. Her actions showed a depth of leadership and courage that is admirable and something we value as part of our company culture.”

You hear that Chi Omega? This is a huge F*CK YOU FROM SHANNON WORKMAN AND TINDER!

Twitter / Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor, one of the most electric UFC fighters in MMA history, just announced his retirement on Twitter. Needless to say, everyone is a bit surprised.

This retirement announcement is more than a little strange considering that Conor’s still the featherweight champion of UFC. Some people, including us, believe that he’s just joking. After all, Conor McGregor is far from the most serious person to ever step into the Octagon.

Update:

UFC President Dana White announced Tuesday (04/19) that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has been pulled from his UFC 200 main event against Nate Diaz on July 9. The UFC is currently working on a new main event for the card, which will take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Nate Diaz, McGregor’s planned opponent at UFC 200, also poked fun at McGregor’s bombshell by announcing his own retirement.

Neither the UFC nor Dana White have commented on the enormous story, but we imagine that we won’t have long to wait. Conor was expected to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 200. Like, we have it from a source that he was booked. Is The Notorious just pulling our chain to make the comeback even bigger?

Again, this is probably hogwash. Conor’s at the top of his game, has tens of millions left to make, and even just posted a photo last night that he’s training in Iceland.

Apparently, only 17% of Americans sleep “unclothed,” but odds are one of them is your weird roommate with boundary issues. Despite what you think about him, science is on that guy’s side and you should be too. Recent studies have shown that sleeping in the buff comes with several health benefits.

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have found that lowering your skin temperature increases the depth of your sleep and reduces the number of times you wake up in the night. Cooler sleeping temperatures can also help with weight loss, according to these researchers. During the study, it was found that the men who slept at the coolest temperatures experienced an increase in “brown fat,” which produces heat by burning calories and sped up the men’s metabolisms. By ditching the pajamas, you can lose weight.

Underwear—be it boxers or briefs—keep heat and moisture in, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. “More bacteria makes for a higher likelihood that any chafed or irritated skin down there becomes infected,” Dr. Brian Steixner, director of the Institute for Men’s Health at Jersey Urology Group, told the website Metro.

And for those men with an interest in one day fathering their own children, sleeping naked has been shown to help with fertility. As Steixner explains, “Your nether regions need to be just the right temperature in order to optimize sperm production.”

Pantless sleeping is not only recommended for men, but for women as well.

“I often tell my patients to sleep without underwear,” said gynecologist Dr. Alyssa Dweck.

Again, it’s because underwear is, apparently, a hot bed for bacteria. That bacteria make women more susceptible to thrush, ingrown hairs more likely to develop,  and increase the chance of infection. If women insist on wearing underwear to bed, the doctor recommends that they be larger and made of cotton.

“If there’s ever a time to break out the granny panties, this would be it,” said Dweck.

Umm… how about everyone just sleeps nude instead? Cool? Good.
