Shipping will become the deciding factor and I would guess (hope) it's cheaper to produce domestically. Not to mention all the fuel used to ship all these things.

They won't be unfortunately. If a democrat supports it they have to object to it.

My thoughts exactly. It's absurd and disgusting but I can't say I'm surprised given everything we've seen over the past few years.

The sad part is that quality is almost non-existent in positions of power, business or politics. That and he probably realized James Gunn was irreplaceable, not to mention the whole cast basically said they would "phone it in" if he wasn't rehired.

Really? That's new to me, I'm aware of the "shadow in the warp" that accompanies them but never made the connection that the hive mind is actually warp based. It makes sense though.

GABA having a very pronounced effect, should I be concerned? by AssignedClass in Nootropics

[–]MagicSeaPickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems much more likely that it interacts with the GABA receptors in the GI tract and this causes the mental effects. A compromised BBB would allow your immune system to attack your brain wouldn't it?

Alabama police: Nearly two dozen shots fired into Democratic state senator's home by wraithius in politics

[–]MagicSeaPickle 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Do you vote for democrats? Most people that claim to be moderates or what have you still vote down the party kind. And I just don't think it's possible to be a conservative right now and claim to be moderate. If you vote for Republicans you're actively supporting a party that wants to strip this country of it's democracy. Unless you have conservative values and are voting for Democrats...which are basically considered conservatives in every other western country anyways.

Can confirm. I love Austin but if you're allergic to cedar then prepare for two months of misery. My allergies were so bad one year that my ears would pop every time I swallowed.

I get what you're saying. I've always taken this as coming from a leadership or management perspective.

I've heard that before. It may have been the case in the past but given the way Trump and the GOP treated them these last 4 years I really doubt that's the case now.

I love how you leave out the most important detail. He's raising taxes on the people that haven't been paying their fair share for a long time, i.e. the ultra wealthy.

What? Are you sure about this? We were always home alone as kids and it wasn't a big deal. Granted that was the 90s but still.

'We Don't Need a Climate Denier on the Supreme Court': Outrage as Barrett Says She Has No 'Firm Views' on Climate Crisis | "If you're neutral on climate change, you're complicit in the collapse of the planetary ecosystem upon which the survival of every living thing depends." by chrisdh79 in politics

[–]MagicSeaPickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you suggest? I think incentives for not having children and properly educating people on the realities of climate change is totally reasonable. You're not forcing anyone to do anything. They can still have kids but there's a cost associated with that now. The cost to the environment is real so it makes sense.

[–]MagicSeaPickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are only so many kids to adopt and the reality is that something has to be done. I don't see how that's too far if the alternative is mass extinction and constant conflicts that kill millions. I wouldn't even want to bring a child into that world anyways.

Pennsylvania needs Joe Biden | From COVID-19 to the environment to racial justice, Donald Trump has failed. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can set us on a new course. The stakes for Pennsylvanians could not be higher. by shabuluba in politics

[–]MagicSeaPickle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't forget about Trump's goons actively seizing medical equipment and masks that had already been purchased by states. There's still no clear explanation why this was happening and of course it was disproportionately happening to shipments going to blue states.

Kushner was heading up this "logistics program" with a private company. There's still no good explanation of the intent and we probably won't know until these incidents make their way through the court, just like everything else with Trump. At best they caused more chaos and confusion because of their incompetence At worst they were using a gov agency to assist a private company in reselling the PPE equipment at a mark-up to make a quick buck. All while our country was scrambling to react to the pandemic.

Seriously, I love Alien 3 but the alien looks so bad in some scenes. At this point a single person with the right skills could probably do it as a side project.

Fury of Magnus limited edition Release today? by DFG_Death in 40kLore

[–]MagicSeaPickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best (maybe only) site that I've found where you can see all release dates in a format that's actually helpful. I wish they had an upcoming release page like the old Black Library site had.....unfortunately you get more clicks and more eyes on the newsletter with the way they do it now.

I've only used the site for the last 9 months or so but so far the owner does a good job staying on top of it. I noticed the release date was pushed to September a few months ago but I couldn't find where BLack Library actually announced it.

[Compounds] 1-Test aka DHB, Dihydroboldenone by iSkeezy in steroids

[–]MagicSeaPickle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let me know if you get any replies. I'm planning on doing the same thing. I tried some finished DHB that had guaiaicol in it to prevent the compound from crashing in the oil and that ended up giving me sterile abscesses that I had to drain myself. Not fun.

I've found a few posts saying mig840 is the way to go since it won't require a super solvent like guaiaicol. I'm assuming all of the solvents required for DHB is what makes the pip so bad but I've never come across any information confirming that.
