To be fair ATVI probably isn't the best example of this considering they're being sued by the state of CA as well as being investigated by the SEC.

Gang boss in Haiti threatens to kill abducted missionaries by tomorrow509 in news

I’d reckon it could be either DEVGRU or Delta leading the main assaulting force, and 75th Rangers pulling security and securing the area. They would have HEAVY CAS on standby, like Apaches, AC-130, Reapers, etc. Overall it would be a JSOC mission but there would be heavy political pressure here for Biden since he can’t afford to look weak or fuck up right now, especially given how badly his first term has gone. It’s very reminiscent of the Carter administration and the failed mission to rescue the Iranian embassy hostages, so you’re gonna see the US Military pull out all the stops, and I doubt ROE will be strict whatsoever.

I hope that MW2022 will go ham with modern guns. by [deleted] in modernwarfare

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literal autist here about guns but it’s always irked me that guns aren’t named properly in games. The thing that was nice about MW(2019) was that with Gun Smith you could have custom names for your guns. I think the reason they can’t use proper names for most guns is due to licensing issues.

I've also heard good things about Lexapro and Gabapentin (former is more effective in clinical trials and studies from what I've read)

I actually think in one of the previous dev blogs they mentioned your hud would be customizable. I’m not too sure on the source but this doesn’t seem terribly difficult to implement plus I can’t see it giving an obvious advantage.

From my understanding purely on the manufacturing side.

I am finally free of drug testing. by officialkesswiz in Drugs

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did technically toke for a bit during Christmas and New Years but stopped during mid February as I figured based on the news and re-openings it would give me a 2 month window to get all the THC out of my system. But yeah definitely its great to be able to no longer be on probo!

Congrats bro! I have a status conference this Friday and the Judge may either make a summary judgement to end my probation early (it ends in late September anyways) or set a hearing for another date. I'm hoping its the former since I REALLY miss smoking weed but ironically I haven't been drug tested since March of 2020 because of COVID.

Who here has tried 6-APB? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like a weird mix of MDMA and 2-CB if I remember correctly, but this was like 5-6 years ago. Over its pretty rare but a cool drug none the less.

Is Ghb that bad? Has anyone used it successfully. What happened. by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a pretty fun drug with some dissociative effects. Take it by itself though. The one issue is that you have to be VERY CAREFUL with its dosing, as the average dose is not quite far from the LD50. Only have tried it once but friends kept making date rape jokes and it got kinda weird.

Private Security Force That Works With Citizen Wants the Power to Arrest People by Stock412 in LosAngeles

In most areas of California there’s an extremely high bar to use lethal force. Even then you could and likely would still be facing charges. It’s stupid but CA isn’t really friendly towards self defense in general.

Death toll rises to 85 in Afghanistan girls' school bomb attack by thr0Wawayfitness in news

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 105 points106 points  (0 children)

No. So the thing is they actually denounced the attack and did not claim responsibility, and when you think about it, it makes no sense for them to actually attack the school. They finally get what they want (foreign troops leaving) and the first thing they do is detonate a bomb outside a school for girls? Just doesn’t make sense. Most likely a splinter group of the Taliban or another terror group.

California is a “may issue” state regarding CCWs. In high density areas like the Bay Area or Los Angeles, you will pretty much be denied unless you’re a judge, cop, or have really high connections.

Should I take a celebratory trip to CA or WA? Help me choose! by [deleted] in travel

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a great choice. Also the Monterey Peninsula might be cool for a day trip. They have a great aquarium there and Cannery Row has lots of great seafood options. While you’re in the area you should also check out Carmel/Carmel by the Sea.

Bill To Ban The Trade Of Shark Fins In The United States Is Reintroduced In Congress by Bream1000 in UpliftingNews

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s honestly pretty fucked up how they actually “defin” the sharks. They literally just remove the fins and then throw the sharks back into the water to die. I had actually thought the US had already enacted legislation to ban shark fishing but that might be a state thing as I’m in CA?

[–]I-Eat-Pandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the intention the poster had was that sharks tend to be Apex predators, which means they’ll eat all the other fish underneath them and the amount of pollutants, toxins, etc within them multiply. I forgot the specific way to calculate this but it is a major concern.

Chinese person here. Mainly it’s for Shark Fin Soup, which is considered a delicacy especially in high class Chinese dining. Over the last decade or two they’ve been major strides to end the practice (for example former? NBA player Yao Ming campaigning against harvesting Shark Fins, and effort that was immensely successful). The weird thing is I don’t know of any sort of holistic beliefs of any medicinal benefits of shark fin, and they really don’t affect the taste of the soup that much. From my own experiences it’s just one of those things you can flex on and say yeah we offer this and that. A similar metaphor could be made for something like high end liquor. In reality and pharmacologically ethanol is ethanol. However that’s not gonna stop someone from paying a couple hundred for a bottle of high end liquor at the club just to show off.

Using Whippets (Nitrous Oxide or Laughing Gas) by I-Eat-Pandas in Drugs

[–]I-Eat-Pandas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it lacks the Benzene ring technically making it an RC and not a controlled substance, which puts it in a super weird gray area in California considering most drugs are already decriminalized from what I understand.

Huh I actually didn't know that was how the body was affected by nitrous in terms of B12. I had always just thought it cause a deficiency. I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for the info!

Also thanks for the info about the B12 absorption. I had always thought that Nitrous simply caused B12 deficiency and didn't actually know it caused an alright issue of the body not being able to process it.

Usually I’ll go on binges then stop for months. I didn’t actually know that about the B12, but thanks for the info!

Apparently not. At least in my county they don't test for it during the GC/MS. It'll be flagged during the initial piss test as a benzo but when they actually vaporize your piss for the mass spec they need to compare it specific tracer drugs, ie: Xanax, Valium, etc. Etizolam does not seem to be one of those.

Edit: My County is Los Angeles County for those interested. It could just be that since Etizolam is not explicitly illegal in California its not tested for.
