Started looking into what liquids they are using and realized i was reading treatment chemicals they add to the boiler water. I know there’s some reactors that use molten salt, but they are just used as energy transfer to… the boiler full of water. Lol. The properties of water expansion from liquid to steam probably can’t be beat or it’s qualities of cheap, simple, good enough.

LD50 is like 1-2mg.
I saw a local advocate or social worker that went to the streets in Portland to get a first hand acct of when fent first hit the streets. Guy said that there was talk that a dealer had had 4 ODs on his batch and everyone went looking for it cause, you know, good stuff. That first wave killed about 60% of users that had less than a year of heavy use(tolerance, he called them new friends), but those that survived had built up their tolerance. So after it was gone everyone went back to the old regular heroin and it didnt quite hit. Users were pissed cause they were buying twice as much for nothing.
Second wave had less ODs because survivors had built up a tolerance, but there was still a lot. He said it was either less savy addicts that didnt take a test batch first before going up or impatient addicts that hadn’t had a good fix and had just been keeping withdrawals away. He saw a guy he shot up with that was 36 hrs into withdrawals. Take a higher dose than normal, so he could actually get high. That he smiled, laid out and started snoring about 2 minutes later. Probably died soon after cause he stopped breathing.
He said all serious addicts can’t go back to regular heroin and that some ppl,like him, take 2 light doses for withdrawals and to lower tolerance and take a normal dose to get high and the high isn’t the same. That its short and causes a lot of nausea. He wished he could somehow lower his tolerance and go back to heroin, but dealers dont sell non fent heroin cause no one wants it.

When I was on a strict diet, I actually bought 5 dollar rotisserie chicken and made a stir fry of sorts with broccoli, spinach, carrots, peas. I’d skip breakfast just to be able to have a big dinner and be satisfied going to bed. I’d try to get close to 120g of protein a day, (I’d eat half a chicken a day) and technically as much veg as I could stomach. I figure I was eating around 1500 calories a day. It worked but it was boring.

You can also put the explosif in a steel trapezoid with the wide part open towards the front. Basically a claymore, but you’d have to manually set it off.

First thought was shooting parallel to floor, then ppl where talking about masts. I was like oh, ok that makes sense too.
there’s also that a lot died of infection.
The vast majority of wounds documented during the Civil War were caused by the Minié ball, while the rest were from grapeshot, canister or other exploding shells. Few men were treated for saber or bayonet wounds and even fewer for cannon ball wounds.
Unfortunately for the soldiers and the surgeons, the Civil War was fought just years before the widespread acceptance of the Germ Theory and the understanding of antisepsis and the sterilization of instruments and equipment. The Civil War surgeons performed their work as best they could, but did not have the knowledge of the role germs played in causing infection. While some antiseptic substances like iodine and bromine were used, the reason for their effectiveness was unknown. The discovery of antibiotics was still decades in the future.

I’m trying to fix up my parents old 01 Toyota sequoia. Gonna use it as our family vacation vehicle. 14mpg, but seats 8 with trunk space and a hitch cargo thingy. Split the gas between 6 ppl and plenty of room for everyone.
Plus there’s actually room to work on the vehicle and no proprietary computer stuff that needs to be done at the dealer.
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 2 months ago:
You lose about a pound a day water fasting, but its hard mentally and physically. As in if you’ve never fasted before, its gonna be hard to keep going the first 24hrs. If you’re obese you have a good chance to come out just fine. You can look up the electrolytes y o u need to do an extended water fast. You should be getting checked out by a doc frequently while doing it. Things can go bad really quickly. Read, read, read everything you can before doing this.
A Protein Sparing Modified Fast(PSMF) is where you eat about 600 to 800 calories a day with about 120 to 150g of protein (chicken breast) with leafy greens( broccoli, spinach, kale) the veg is so low calorie it doesnt really matter the amount as long as its at least a cup( you need the vitamins, minerals, and fiber). the protein so filling you basically are gonna be “full”. you wont be satisfied, but you will be able to eat and never be looking for more. the point is to have enough protein intake to keep your muscle loss to a minimum. You have to do a basic weight training or calisthenics regimen to keep the muscle loss down.
- Take a multivitamin
- if your having trouble shitting, more veg
- lightheaded: pinch of salt in a glass of water, broth, or buy what is called lite salt here( its a mix of sodium and potassium salt; you need both types anyway)
Go to your doc and tell them your plan. They will take blood exams, probably EKG, and check ins every 2 or 3 weeks to make sure everything is OK. I’ve done PSMF because my sleep apnea was literally killing me. I lost 25 lbs the first month and 20 the next. It sucked, but it fixed my apnea and all my cardiovascular and metabolic problems. I then gradually raised my calories to 1800 and kept losing weight until I got to a normal weight.
You will have loose skin, lift weights and fill out with muscle to help with it. If something feels off, wrong, hurts, etc. Stop and go get checked out.

Thanks for the link to the book. Im guessing the person had to swing it almost like a one handed golf swing to get momentum. I can see how being off by a little leads to serious injuries.

This reminded me of a mini documentary on helping subsistence farmers in India. Since the farms were small and irregular, they couldn’t recommend powered harvesters to be shared. They basically squatted down and used sickles. It was a whole family affair as kids as small as 3 were needed to harvest quickly and get it to market.
They introduced scythes with baskets to catch and softly drop the grain or whatever to the side. Image
this isn’t that documentary, but it does show the slow going of using a sickle at first. It then shows how much faster the scythe is.
The documentary also showed how some were reluctant as the kids were free and basically the sickle was how it had always been done. So they had contests of 5 farmers against one guy on the scythe and a kid picking up the wheat and putting it on a cart. I think it was 30 meters long. The scythe had the job finished and helping the kid finish putting the grain in the cart before the other farmers had gotten halfway.
