pete_dushenski: "The end result was a powerhouse known as the Energia LV – which used four strap-on boosters, each powered by a four-chamber RD-170 engine burning with kerosene/LOX, and a central core stage with four single-chamber RD-0120 (11D122) engines fueled with liquid hydrogen/LOX"

mircea_popescu: i dunno why epidemiology is so hard to follow, but let's add two and two together. two one : the virus is not a new introduction. two two : the virus is stable aroun 16-18% infections.
mircea_popescu: a) that infection is unrelated to exposure in any form ; b) that "fighting" pointless "battles" is the best way to waste public money in relative personal safety ; c) canada is broadly iliterate
pete_dushenski: damn, adam_obrien just left... was going to ask what 'aua' is as opposed to 'ama', and if it's 'us', who that includes. ah well.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, most newly introduced (ie, no equilibrium reached yet) infections go from 16% to 100% in two days

mircea_popescu: even leaving aside the "we've arbitrarily divided this virus up into 3 no wait 7 no wait 16 no wait nm groups", the notion that "i don't have herpes" is to be translated as "i read very little and understand even less".
mircea_popescu: it's not too well understood what it does. but trivially : you don't have monolaterality in observed cases
mircea_popescu: if you look at the nerves, there's really very little contact / very good separation between the strands

ascii_field: nubbins`: lsd is unstable in solution. and so it would stand to reason that it is parceled out to the 'stamps' where produced.
mats: unstable in all forms
nubbins`: "As a salt, in water, cold, and free from air and light exposure, it is stable indefinitely."
ascii_field: originally sold (by sandoz) in, iirc, ampules.
nubbins`: UV light destroys it in short order
nubbins`: my understanding is that crystal is dissolved in solution by producer, then laid by distributors, but i'm sure there are as many arrangements as producers and distributors
nubbins`: SWIM's source says they receive crystal and lay their own blotters, but as you say -- who knows?
nubbins`: short of sending some to a lab, all we have is subjective commentary
nubbins`: the original SR had an lsd review team w/ access to a lab
nubbins`: regularly tested tabs and posted analysis
mats: the most common arrangement i've seen is a solution of everclear and lsd
ascii_field: <nubbins`> regularly tested tabs and posted analysis << they aren't in my wot...
nubbins`: this is true. they're in mine, tho :D
nubbins`: related reading for the curious
ascii_field owns the dead tree of 'pihkal' and 'tihkal'
nubbins`: LSD-25 is (i think) the only substance that doesn't include qualitative comments
nubbins`: with the excuse given that there are plenty already and it would be absurd to cherry-pick a handful of his own
ascii_field often wonders if he's the only man alive to have 1) read the books 2) wanted to taste the items described therein 3) could not
punkman: I'd say that holds for the majority of readers
nubbins`: i read he was really into cacti in his later years
ascii_field: punkman: i suspect that the majority of readers ~could~ obtain at least one or two of the items found in the pages
nubbins`: hoffman famously lived to the ripe age of 102
nubbins`: ascii_field didn't we just establish that you could taste these things but choose not to? :D
nubbins`: that's why you buy from a website instead of a street dealer
nubbins`: purchase LSD on the street and i almost guarantee you'll be purchasing an NBOMe
nubbins`: purchase LSD online and there's NBOMe for sale right next to it so why not just call everything what it is and let the buyer choose?
☟︎ ascii_field: wake me up when they're in my wot, and not opsec-retarded
punkman: I was recently shown a website that sold legal LSD analogues via credit card
ascii_field: in usa actually we have an 'analogues act'
assbot: Culture - DEA arrests most Research Chemical vendors under the name 'Operation Web tryp' - Drugs Forum ... (
http://bit.ly/1Li3nvj )
nubbins`: i had always wondered if those research chem sites were legit
ascii_field: so legit they helpfully kept records of all names...
nubbins`: ;;google JLF poisonous non-consumables arrest
punkman: nubbins`: did you ever try AL-LAD?
ascii_field: until we have a way of dematerializing physical objects and reconstituting them in a remote place without traceable motion in-between, like bits, pretty much everyone who is willing to be involved on the supply side of dope economy is retarded
nubbins`: ascii_field that's why we're on the demand side, not the supply side
nubbins`: it's a win-win situation for the purchaser
ascii_field: dealing with the retarded is - at the very least - very foolish.
punkman: nubbins`: depends on location
nubbins`: punkman the minimum requirement is that the supplier be located in your country.
nubbins`: it is simply not feasible to discover LSD in domestic mail
ascii_field: nubbins`: it is equally difficult to discover what in particular you actually got in that mail.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: i've been following it you never really clarified why the supply side is specifically retarded unless I missed that line?
nubbins`: ascii_field an open marketplace ensures the substance, if not the dosage.
nubbins`: ascii_field besides, let's say you know the dosage down to the ug. What difference does that make?
nubbins`: person x will react differently than person y to the same dose.
kakobrekla: ascii_field i think nubbins` volunteers to be your test subject
nubbins`: so your tabs are 150ug instead of 200ug.
ascii_field: nubbins`: can then say 'i took 5ug and discovered proof of goldbach's conjecture' or 'i took 500 and learned that thirty-three is purple'
☟︎ nubbins`: ascii_field the sensible thing is to purchase a ten-strip, start low and see what happens.
nubbins`: coincidentally, this is the same procedure used when dealing with a known quantity.
ascii_field: how the hell do you even know which end of the strip is 'low' ?!
nubbins`: didn't work so well? you have 9.5 remaining
ascii_field: pray to god to send you the same concentration of strip ?
punkman: ideally you'd want a properly diluted solution and a dropper
nubbins`: ascii_field well, after your TWENTY half-hit trips, you'd probably buy another ten-strip and start the process over again.
nubbins`: do you suppose you'd want to do this more than 20 times?
nubbins`: so the next time, get the same vendor to sell you 50.
mats: its always going to be a gamble
mats: laying LSD is not an exact process
nubbins`: "circus" = taking a small dose, yes
mats: if you want to measure dosage, get liquid
nubbins`: ascii_field if otherwise unavailable, yes.
mats: people already tolerate this with coffee, caffeine tablets are a more reasonable alternative, right
nubbins`: people DO already tolerate it with coffee
nubbins`: cigarettes, marijuana, birthday cake...
ascii_field: the caffeine in the weakest and strongest cup of coffee does not vary by orders of magnitude.
nubbins`: imagine the burden, though, of having to eat like 2 hits of LSD to figure out an appropriate dose for the other 48.
nubbins`: ascii_field the LSD from a single vendor doesn't vary by orders of magnitude either
nubbins`: in my wot-based experience, anyway ;p
nubbins`: 20ug vs 200? might as well sell blank paper.
nubbins`: 2000ug instead of 200? business: you're doing it wrong
ascii_field: nubbins`: how much blank paper have you eaten so far ?
nubbins`: single-purchase customers does not a business make
nubbins`: it's much more lucrative to sell what's advertised
ascii_field wonders why nubbins` is publicly begging lizard hitler to order his mail opened and tested

nubbins` wonders why alf is paralyzed by imaginary chains of inaction
ascii_field: picture if i spoke here of having asked for it.
ascii_field: (that's the root misconception behind the pseudolegalism of 'it is not forbidden to receive dope in the mail')
nubbins`: listen, i can't do anything about the fact that your police regularly kill innocent people
nubbins`: all i'm saying is that you absolutely, 100%, can purchase drugs online safely
ascii_field: i don't doubt that when the time comes, they will find a watertight reason to demolish my house, with me in it, in the middle of the night
ascii_field: but they will have to do better than 'bought dope on shit road'
nubbins`: so take a trip before your number gets called.
ag3nt_zer0: sorry ahead of time for the remedialism... so I attempted to encrypt my first txt by following this: gpg –output [message.txt.gpg] –encrypt –recipient [your@friend.org] [message.txt]... however, this is what I got... usage: gpg [options] [filename] - any advice would be welcome...?
nubbins`: ag3nt_zer0 try --option instead of -option?
shinohai: And of course ensure that you have your friend's key imported
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai: am I attempting the impossible by just trying to encrypt it to my own key and send to myself for a check?
ag3nt_zer0: nubbins: thanks the double dash worked
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai: i got somewhere but it says "there is no assurance this key belongs to the named user"
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: that's because marking the key as certainly your friend's key is something you do, and something you shouldn't do casually
shinohai: That's normal. It just means you can't know *for sure* it is me unless I give you the key in person.
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai: gpg: can't open `gpgmessage.txt': No such file or directory
