Uranium 🟩

Absolute worst case scenario if you are unable to get a replacement, you can get a pane of glass and either score and cut it yourself (diamond or silicon carbine and a ruler to score, and then either a drop of water on the score lines and snap or put a bit of string soaked in lighter fluid and set it on fire on the score line, once it’s heated dip it in cold water or pour cold water on and it should split along the score).

Use youtube to actually see how it’s done.

Or go to a window maker (or if your hardware stores do it) and ask if they can just cut a pane to size for you.

No beard required, all the hair from their nuzzles just kinda builds up… Or find yourself an extra floofy one that doesn’t mind being worn like a scarf

Elvanse is my daily driver, initially started at 30mg and went down to 20, stayed on that for a few years, eventually back up to 30mg where I’m at now.

I have been on it something like 8 years total. And I think 66KG starting weight.

Remember everyone’s dosage is different.

You want the medication to be barely perceptable for long-term stability, you don’t want to chase any rush you have the first time you use it, as that will just end up being higher and higher doses.

There’s a burnt down and abandoned manor about 10 minutes walk from me, now owned by the Freemasons, has a hermitage carved into the sandstone (or limestone idk) cliff face, as well as a tunnel leading from the local castle to the manor as a means of escape (something like 1.5 miles).

The hermatige is pretty small, about 10x10 foot in the main room, with a super high 15-20ft ceiling.

There’s another mystery cave carved into the cliff, which is about 30x15 foot with pillars supporting the ceiling carved out of the rock.

The manor has been used in one form or another basically continuously since the crusades, and then intermittently before then, earliest record is a Roman reference to a spring around the location, there is also a Saxon era water mill

Not disagreeing with any points you have made but speaking in reference to the environmental pollutants;

It’s my understanding that both microplastics and PFAs are endocrine disprupters either directly or indirectly, which may have an effect during development and long term, does that actually matter when it comes to how an individual wishes to present or live their life? I don’t think so.

Interestingly, there are other naturally occuring endocrine disrupters such as certain mycotoxins that humans have basically always had to deal with.

I’m pretty sure that’s quoting Salvador Dali…

(/s but actually also not)

The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it’s hard to know what the impact could be.

I’m curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn’t carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)

Any chance of a rough guide/recipe?

This looks like a very effective way of using waste from dry herb vapes

It’s a stereoscopic photo; if you cross your eyes when looking at it so that the two images overlap, it will appears 3D

We already have a people being ‘nostalgic’ for plastic straws… It’s depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.

On a related note, Uranium glass isn’t dangerous at all, it’s production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.

Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.

Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

Roughly about 10g of caffeine for a 70kg human is where it’s starts to generally be recognised as lethal

I’m actually not too sure how right you are here, my last cat was a chunky boy at 7kg, let’s say that the upper end 68mg is the LD50, I’m roughly 70kg, 680mg of coffee would be very uncomfortable and unpleasant, but I don’t think I’d be hitting the LD50.

LD50 in humans is probably around 100mg/kg, fatal doses are 150-200mg/kg

Honestly, don’t worry about picking one to identify it, the mushroom portion of the fungi is the equivalent of the the flower on a tree.

If you’re really so concerned, place the cap face down after picking so the spores still end up on the ground.

Or if you really don’t want to damage one, use a dentists mirror, or a telescopic inspection mirror, or even a compact mirror, and place a piece of paper with a small hole cut in the centre and a cut from the outer edge to the hole around the mushroom (think of the collars they use at the hair dressers) use a small piece of masking tape to join it and camping peg to pin it to the ground, then return to it later for some spores to inspect and

It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

Heck, my sister’s asked me to get papers she’s co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years

The photo in the OP looks either AI generated or badly AI upscaled, zoom in on the cats in the back…

OP, just to be clear GABA and Gabapentin are two different drugs/molecules…

Its worth clarifying to avoid confusion here, which has been been prescribed

Yeah, this could be much shorter and not AI written, still I appreciate the idea of exploring technology fundamentals sometimes, just not the way it’s been implemented in this case

An interesting aspect of this is when trying to mover power over long distances AC becomes inefficient and High Voltage DC becomes the more efficient option.

Between 2-3% for HVDC vs 6-7% for AC systems when transmitting over 1000km.

Check your local council’s advice, they will have written rules for what they require; for mine as long as it isn’t caked in food they’ll take it

Trip codes are I think what you’re taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did
