I am not recommending that anyone do this but you don’t need anything more advanced than Orgo 2. The issue isn’t making the compound, at least once you have the precursors, it’s ensuring that it’s not contaminated with other products in a way that harms or kills you. It’s not enough to get any yield, you need a safe yield.

You absolutely can refute it. Just ask for proof.

Yes, unsurprisingly, a term that’s been around for 20 or 30 years is less pervasive than a couple that have been around for over 100.

Pips , 4 months ago to news in ‘Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the problem’: why young men are turning against feminism

It was already established. It’s just a theoretical framework in various social studies. It was deliberately bastardized by the right as they were seeking something to hate. It wasn’t even in the public consciousness, just something academics used and that get taught in some higher ed classes. It’s a very useful framework but it’s not something that you’d actually teach a kid.

Just because you can buy drugs with bitcoin doesn’t mean that those two things work the same.

No, they can’t guarantee Sinema or Manchin so they don’t for sure have 51 votes to confirm. If Sotomayor leaves before there’s a guarantee she’ll get replaced with someone else on the left, the consequences could be very bad.

Assuming you’re talking about the Azov Batallion, if you are fighting a war for your country’s survival and you have a rabid band of ethnonationalists, who clearly suck in terms of their views and beliefs, but are otherwise willing to die to protect your country, why wouldn’t you let them?

Full faith and credit seems a more direct violation than the commerce clause, though I’m sure both are implicated.

Pips , 5 months ago to technology in Netflix adds 13.1 million subscribers, tops revenue estimates

Because they made the cost of adding a household less than the cost of two accounts, then banked on the fact that people wouldn’t want to “screw over” whoever they were sharing a password with. It was a good business strategy, if shitty consumer practice.

Pips , 5 months ago to news in Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homeless

Definitely agree with you there. I just never like how simplistic people make jury nullification seem. It’s really just a quirk in the legal system, not an actual thing juries are supposed to do and it gets abused a lot.
