Found $500 that way last year. Windy afternoon, blew into the parking lot from the main road. My thought of “holy shit, cool!” was tempered by the next thought of “this is gonna suck for whoever dropped it”.

It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it’s still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I’ve heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don’t want one here.
There really should be better options, but it’s where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You’re right, it’s dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn’t have, I would still be hesitant to try something I’d cooked up in the basement at home. But, I’m also not at the point where I’m going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.
I’m a quality chemist. I test the API’s that process chemists make to be sure they’re right. Yeah, reactions don’t always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you’re independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you’re not valuable enough to save?

I saw this at our local Aldi when I was there last weekend. If it were a GF crust, I would have tried it out.
Scepter televisions are a great option, no “smart” features at all. Bought two of them about 6 years ago and no issues.
Avasarela: “Don’t call me that, I’m a member of Parliament, not your favorite stripper.” Amos: “You can be both…”
I was really enjoying this game for a couple weeks, and plan to go back to it after it gets a few updates. Just started to get Ground Hog’s Day fatigue after a while. The same critters keep spawning in the same places, over and over again. Gets tedious after a while. Had the same problem playing Small Land. Love the exploring and all, but monotonous critter spawns. Hoping they’ll implement some randomness once they develop the game more.
I’ve seen elderly folks do that a few times. Not on the shoulder, but still in their lane, backing up into oncoming traffic. (Yes, I did spend some time living in Florida.)
Paper straws would work great if they just coated them in plastic. Then they wouldn’t disintegrate before you finished your drink.
I bought two copies of this game at the end of 2019 for a friend and I to try out. At $5, why not? We have played the shit out of this game since then, especially when we both got stuck home during covid for a few weeks. Glad it’s finally reached 1.0, enjoying seeing all of the updated POI’s and some new critters. So what if it took this long to come out of alpha? Have had way more than five bucks worth of fun over the past few years.
My choice of a retirement home will be dictated by which one offers high-speed internet service.
There used to be one in Kalamazoo MI on the west side of the WMU campus in the 90’s. Loved that place, burritos were really good. No, not really as big as your head, but it was a lot of food.
I wouldn’t doubt someone already has, on purpose, but behind closed doors.
I know shooting sports in schools used to be a thing, but figured after Columbine that those programs were all dropped and didn’t exist anymore. Gunfire near a school is no longer about academic competitions, but something tragic and far too common.
The m is an old apothecary unit for “minims” which was about 1 drop. Not very exact, the amount dosed depended on the method used to dispense each drop. Most of the content was probably water or glycol syrup, so the total alcohol content would be diluted to less than 1%.
Saw the question and thought of exactly this video. Great skit.
Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It’s been a good job.
I bought a couple usgs maps of the local mountains about 8 years ago, but that was the last time. Used to buy the map book for Michigan every few years when I lived there. Had pretty detailed prints of all the roads, waterways, state lands, and even marked hiking trails. Great for finding streams for fishing and places to camp. But now printed maps seem hard to find. Local gas stations don’t have them, and I’ve noticed that rest stops on the highway don’t give them out anymore either. Used to hit rest stops in every state I drove through when traveling to get new ones for the glove box.
