Picked this up from Sweetspot in Voorhees yesterday. Also picked up Colin OG #3 and rainbow belts 3.0. (Will post a review of RB3 later today, maybe)
After the medical and tote discount it was around $40 for an eighth. Smells so sweet and earthy. Like if nature baked a cake. Tastes equally fresh and sweet. Very smooth. Effects are incredibly relaxing. Couch lock for sure. I really need to put my laundry in the dryer rn but I don’t want to get up.
Can’t recommend this enough. Anthologie has outdone themselves with their new strains. 9/10

Side Hustles from Home - 40 Microtask Sites to Make Money Online
Need ideas for side hustles from home? Today we are sharing 40 microtask sites to help you make money online from the comfort of your home. This article will cover microtask websites and user testing websites. Microtask websites pay you for completing short online tasks in your spare time.
Please keep in mind, that there are far more workers/ testers than jobs available. It’s a great way to make some fast and easy cash, but it isn’t going to pay your mortgage. Also note that you will need to set aside money yourself to pay taxes.
User testing websites pay Testers to test various websites, applications and even games. Payout varies but you can stack some cash as a side hustle.
Examples of common tasks include:
• Testing apps and websites
• Business listing verification
• Captioning videos
• Quality rating gigs
• Monitoring social media
• Search engine evaluation
• Helping with machine learning tasks
• Data entry
​
Of course there are pros and cons to microtasks you should consider:
Microtask Pros:
· Low barrier to entry
· Wide variety of jobs
· Can earn real cash
· Numerous companies to work for
· Global income opportunities
Microtask Cons:
· Low hourly earning potential for many websites

Side Hustle from Home #9. Grindabuck – is perfect for anyone who isn’t into surveys. It is a decent passive income website if you run their video rewards portal in the background. It is available in Canada, the United States, Germany, Australia, and the U.K. GrindaBuck offers PayPal, Bitcoin, and gift card rewards.
For PayPal, you can request as little as a $1 payment if you’re a VIP with that option. As a level 1 VIP, you’ll need to wait until you have at least $10 in your account to cash out that much with PayPal, which equals 1025 points. $1 in PayPal cash is 125 points. Bitcoin payments cost less – $5 is 500 points and you can get a bit of a discount for $25 in Bitcoin with 2450 points. Amazon cards are in $1, $5, $10, and $25 denominations, while Walmart cards are in $5 and $10. Each one will cost you 100 in points for every dollar (so 1000 points for a $10 gift card, for example). GrindaBuck says that all gift cards and payments should arrive within 12 hours, but sometimes can be even quicker.
Side Hustle from Home #10. InstaGC – pays you to complete different tasks online, like surveys, watching videos, visiting websites, testing apps, shopping online, product samples and more.

If you play a lot of games, you could probably earn $1 to $4 per hour.
Side Hustle from Home #13. Lionbridge - is a competitor of Appen and offers the same sort of micro task marketplace for people to make extra money. If you want to try search engine evaluation, website testing, quality rating, or translation/transcription and have had difficulty getting into Appen, Lionbridge is a solid alternative. FYI… it is technically against TOS to work for Appen and Lionbridge simultaneously. Pay rates range from $8-$14 per hour depending on the job you’re working on.
Depending on the projects you worked on, Lionbridge pays through Direct Bank Transfer and PayPal. The minimum payout threshold is $20. Payable sums that fall below the minimum payout threshold are carried over to the following month.

The MTurk marketplace is full of tasks including identifying objects in videos, data deduplication, transcription work, and search engine evaluation. MTurk jobs are known as ‘hits,’ which stands for ‘Human Intelligence Tasks,’ and the premise behind Amazon MTurk is to have workers help solve problems that AI isn’t capable of figuring out.

Rev transcriptionist jobs pay $0.30 to $1.10 per minute of audio, or video you transcribe. So, an hour-long transcription job might pay $18 to $66.
However, it can take a proficient transcriptionist about 2 to 3 hours to transcribe one hour of audio. So, your speed and accuracy really influence how much money you make per hour.

Side Hustle from Home #34. Userinput.io – sources testers through Mturk. It is another one that pays to test web pages. You need a computer to perform the tests and as in many platforms of this type, your screen and voice will be recorded while you perform the requested tasks. The tests last between 5 and 15 minutes but can be extended depending on the needs and of course if you think you have the ability to express your thoughts in detail.
The payment ranges from $5 to $15 per test, depending on its complexity and duration. In some cases, you will have the opportunity to access additional bonuses. You are paid through mTurk (mTurk pays you with Amazon gift cards or Amazon Payments that can be transferred to your bank account. If you don’t have a bank account, you can transfer from Amazon Payments to a prepaid debit card.)
Side Hustle from Home #35. Userlytics – is a digital usability testing platform that provides companies with critical customer insights and feedback. Companies sign up for Userlytics to hire people like you to browse through and provide feedback on websites, mobile apps, prototypes, videos, and advertisements. To test with Userlytics, you must have a computer with a microphone, running Windows 7 (or better) or MacOS 10.7.3 (or newer). You’ll also need a webcam.
As a usability tester, you’ll be paid a certain amount for every test you complete. Most tests will take about 20 to 40 minutes to complete. Usability tests are sent out randomly to testers.
In some instances you’ll be conducting a test for a large corporation, and in other cases it may be for a smaller start-up company. While you can take as many tests as you want, you’ll need to wait until Userlytics sends you one.
You’ll have a better chance of receiving tests if you provide more of your personal information and fill out a complete profile. There aren’t any qualifications for taking tests. In fact, clients prefer that you don’t know anything beforehand. Those with less experience often provide some of the most valuable feedback to clients.
Your pay rate will depend on each individual test you take. Many tests will pay between $5 and $20. Other tests can pay as much as $90, however, these are quite rare. You’ll be paid more money for tests that are more intensive and take a longer time. Before you take a test, you’ll be shown how much you’ll be paid and approximately how long it will take. Remember: Clients need to approve your test before you can get paid. Once you’re approved, you’ll be paid once every 15 days through PayPal.
Side Hustle from Home #36. UserTesting - pays $10 per desktop test and $15 per mobile test, and the tests only take about 20 minutes each to complete. Testers are required to record their thoughts/screen as they navigate a testing environment, but most sessions take 10-20 minutes. Rarely, testers may qualify for a live test session with a client, which pay up to $60. UserTesting is fairly global, and payments are made 7 days after a testing session via PayPal.
Side Hustle from Home #37. UserZoom – is very straightforward and like most usability testing sites – sign up, fill out a profile, be matched with tests and get emailed when tests are available. UserZoom has become more focused on the digital experience rather than shopping and buying experiences. Studies that record your video and audio pay $10 on average. When it comes to standards surveys, though, the average is $5. Each study takes approximately 10-20 minutes.
Depending on your demographics and your quality rating, you expect to be invited for 2 or 4 tests per month. After you submit your test, you will have to wait for approval, which takes approximately 3 – 5 days. Once approved, they will send out your PayPal payment within 21 business days. Just like other platforms, there is no minimum payout requirement.
Side Hustle from Home #38. WhatUsersDo – has testers review new websites (some by household names), and are paid $5 per test. They send you test invitations via email, and you can only take 3 to 5 tests per month. They also pay via PayPal, but only on the 25th of each month. Requires download of a screen recorder.
Side Hustle from Home #39. ySense - is a weird mixture between a survey site and a micro job platform, and there’s truly a little bit of something for everyone on this site. On ySense, users can make money through surveys, download offers, watching videos, or by completing jobs like the ones posted on Figure Eight.
ySense was formerly known as Clixsense, another popular GPT website, and the platform is under the parent company Prodege, who operate some of the most reputable reward sites in the industry. Users can cash out with dozens of gift card options or through PayPal, and the lowest rewards are $3. ySense is also available in dozens of countries.
Side Hustle from Home #40. Zeerk - brands themselves as a micro job and freelance portal where you can offer or browse gigs ranging from $3 to $200. In other words, Zeerk is an alternative to Fiverr that focuses on micro tasks. This is the platform where people buy likes, followers, upvotes, social media accounts, and other semi-questionable online transactions. If you’ve ever tried to make money on Fiverr with these sorts of offerings but find the marketplace is saturated, Zeerk might be less competitive.

• All About Organic Rajma And Its Type

Organic rajma, also known as organic kidney beans, is a variety of legume that is highly popular in Indian cuisine. Rajma is known for its kidney-shaped appearance and is widely used in various dishes, especially in North Indian recipes. When we refer to organic rajma, it means that the beans are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), ensuring a more natural and sustainable product.
Here are some types of organic rajma:

1. Red Kidney Beans: Red kidney beans are the most commonly found type of rajma. They have a dark red color and a mild, nutty flavor. Red kidney beans are often used in popular Indian dishes like rajma masala, where the beans are cooked with a blend of spices and served with rice or roti.
2. White Kidney Beans: Also known as cannellini beans, white kidney beans have a creamy texture and a slightly milder taste compared to red kidney beans. They are often used in Italian cuisine, especially in dishes like pasta e fagioli and minestrone soup. White kidney beans can also be used in Indian recipes as a substitute for red kidney beans.
3. Light Red Kidney Beans: Light red kidney beans are similar to red kidney beans in terms of appearance and taste but have a lighter red color. They are commonly used in dishes like chili, salads, and stews.
4. Black Kidney Beans: Black kidney beans, also known as black rajma, are less common but gaining popularity. They have a dark, almost black color and a slightly sweet flavor. Black kidney beans are often used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Creole cuisines.
5. Speckled Kidney Beans: Speckled kidney beans, also called pinto beans, have a mottled appearance with beige background color and reddish-brown speckles. They have a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. Pinto beans are commonly used in Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes like refried beans and chili con carne.

When choosing organic rajma, look for certified organic products that have been verified by a reputable organic certification agency. This ensures that the beans have been produced following organic farming practices. Organic rajma is not only better for your health but also supports sustainable agriculture and protects the environment.

• How many types of rajma are there?

There are several types of rajma (kidney beans) available, each with its own unique characteristics. The specific number of types may vary depending on regional variations and culinary preferences, but here are some commonly known types of rajma:

1. Red Kidney Beans: Red kidney beans are the most widely consumed and recognized type of rajma. They have a dark red color and a mild, nutty flavor.
2. White Kidney Beans: Also known as cannellini beans, white kidney beans have a creamy texture and a slightly milder taste compared to red kidney beans.
3. Light Red Kidney Beans: Light red kidney beans are similar to red kidney beans in terms of appearance and taste but have a lighter red color.
4. Black Kidney Beans: Black kidney beans, also known as black rajma, have a dark, almost black color and a slightly sweet flavor. They are commonly used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Creole cuisines.
5. Speckled Kidney Beans: Speckled kidney beans, also called pinto beans, have a mottled appearance with beige background color and reddish-brown speckles. They have a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor.

These are some of the most commonly found types of rajma. However, it's worth noting that regional variations and local cultivars may introduce additional varieties of kidney beans. The availability of specific types of rajma may also vary depending on the location and the market you are in.

• Which type of rajma is best?

The choice of the "best" type of rajma (kidney beans) is subjective and depends on personal preferences and the specific dish you plan to prepare. Different types of rajma have distinct flavors and textures, making them suitable for different culinary applications.

1. Red kidney beans are the most commonly used and widely available type of rajma. They have a rich, nutty flavor and a robust texture that holds up well in dishes like rajma masala, soups, stews, and curries.
2. White kidney beans, also known as cannellini beans, have a creamy texture and a slightly milder taste compared to red kidney beans. They work well in Italian cuisine, especially in dishes like pasta e fagioli and bean salads.
3. Black kidney beans, or black rajma, have a unique sweet flavor and a firm texture. They are commonly used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Creole dishes such as rice and beans, stews, and salads.
4. Speckled kidney beans, or pinto beans, have a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. They are popular in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines, used in dishes like refried beans, chili con carne, and bean burritos.

The "best" type of rajma ultimately depends on your personal taste preferences and the specific recipe you are making. Experimenting with different types of rajma can help you discover your favorite variety for different culinary creations.

• Which type of rajma is healthy?

All types of rajma (kidney beans) offer various health benefits as they are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. The specific health benefits may vary slightly between different types, but overall, kidney beans are a nutritious addition to your diet. Here are some general health benefits associated with rajma:

1. Protein: Rajma is an excellent plant-based source of protein. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle health, and providing a feeling of fullness.
2. Fiber: Rajma is rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes satiety, and helps maintain healthy bowel movements. Fiber is also beneficial for heart health and regulating blood sugar levels.
3. Minerals: Kidney beans are a good source of minerals such as iron, potassium, magnesium, and folate. Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the body, potassium helps regulate blood pressure, magnesium supports bone health, and folate is important for cell growth and development.
4. Antioxidants: Rajma contains various antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help neutralize harmful free radicals and protect the body against oxidative stress and chronic diseases.

When it comes to the specific type of rajma, the differences in their nutritional composition are relatively minor. All types of kidney beans provide similar health benefits. Therefore, you can choose any variety of rajma based on your personal preference and the flavor and texture you enjoy the most.
It's worth noting that the overall healthfulness of rajma dishes also depends on how they are prepared. Cooking methods that involve less oil and excessive salt are generally more beneficial for health. Additionally, combining rajma with other nutritious ingredients like vegetables, herbs, and spices can further enhance its nutritional profile.

• What are organic kidney beans?

Organic kidney beans, also known as organic rajma, are kidney beans that have been grown using organic farming practices. Organic farming involves the use of natural methods and techniques to cultivate crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or irradiation.
Here are some key characteristics and principles of organic kidney beans:

1. Soil Health: Organic kidney beans are grown in soil that is nourished and maintained using organic methods. This includes the use of organic compost, cover crops, and crop rotation to enhance soil fertility and health.
2. Non-GMO: Organic kidney beans are not genetically modified. They are grown from non-GMO seeds, ensuring that the natural genetic integrity of the beans is preserved.
3. Pesticide and Chemical-Free: Organic farming prohibits the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods like crop rotation, companion planting, and biological pest control to manage pests and diseases.
4. Environmental Sustainability: Organic farming practices prioritize environmental sustainability. They aim to minimize the impact on ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and promote the health of the surrounding environment.
5. Organic Certification: To be labeled as organic, kidney beans must meet the standards set by organic certification bodies. These certifications ensure that the beans have been produced and processed according to specific organic guidelines and regulations.

Organic kidney beans provide consumers with a choice for a more natural and sustainable option. By choosing organic products, individuals can support environmentally friendly agricultural practices, reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals, and contribute to the overall health of ecosystems.

• What is the difference between chitra rajma and red rajma?

Chitra rajma and red rajma are two popular varieties of kidney beans, each with its own distinct characteristics. Here are the main differences between chitra rajma and red rajma:

1. Appearance: Chitra rajma beans have a distinct pattern on their outer skin, resembling a spotted or mottled design. This pattern sets them apart from other varieties of kidney beans. On the other hand, red rajma beans have a solid, uniform dark red color.
2. Flavor and Texture: Chitra rajma beans have a slightly nutty flavor and a creamy texture. They tend to hold their shape well when cooked and have a smooth, buttery consistency. Red rajma beans, on the other hand, have a rich, nutty flavor with a slightly firmer texture. They retain their shape but can become soft and creamy when cooked for longer periods.
3. Culinary Use: Chitra rajma beans are commonly used in Indian cuisine, particularly in dishes like rajma masala, where their creamy texture and unique appearance make them visually appealing. Red rajma beans are also widely used in Indian cooking and are the most commonly found variety in many regions. They are a staple ingredient in dishes like rajma chawal (kidney beans with rice) and various curries.

While the primary difference lies in their appearance and minor variations in flavor and texture, both chitra rajma and red rajma are nutritious and versatile legumes. They can be used interchangeably in recipes that call for kidney beans, depending on your personal preference and the desired visual appeal of the dish.
