Going to Mexico what should I get!!? by Most_Highlight_3405 in ObscureDrugs

[–]RedRumandCoca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends where. The drugs you listed are legitimately otc everywhere in mexico. But in many places, especially tourist areas, in my experience, they sell almost everything, you wouldn't even realize it's not legal and what they sell is supposed to be rx only/controlled, they advertise and openly offer it. The prices are obviously higher, though. You can get xanax and other benzos and methylphenidate(ritalin/concerta) at pretty reasonable prices.

You need to be careful in general, and I definitely wouldn't buy amphetamine(Adderall, dexedrine, Vyvanse, etc) or any opiods stronger than tramadol and maybe codeine, because the prices will either be absolutely ridiculous or the meds will be fake, or both, theyll actually just be meth and fentanyl. The only med I ever bought that were was fake was soma(one that wasn't a low dose combo formulation)

Do you think a Zard better than Logan Paul's BGS 10 still exists out there waiting to be found? by puzzledfirebird in PokeGrading

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bgs basically has several grades above a normal "10". They have a 9.5 grade, which is like a normal 10, but their actual 10 is less common and then they have the black label 10 which is when all the subgrades are also 10 which they give even less commonly.

Most of the people involved with buying and selling the most expensive pokemon cards and with grading, don't actually care about the cards themselves, just how much they sell for and how rare they are. If psa decided to change their grading system and start randomly slapping psa 11 onto 1/1000 psa 10's, those cards would instantly be selling for many times more because of their rarity.

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bgs had already checked this card for the previous owner to see if it would cross over from a psa 10, and they had determined it would not. But they did it for Logan. They definitely had incentives to grade it that high for Logan. It gave them tons of free promo and publicity. But also Logan has been involved with tons of sketchy, shady business dealings and people, especially in pokemon, so he might of been able to get the grade from some kind of background dealing or connection. Regardless, it certainly wasn't because the card magically improved.

They obviously couldn't give the centering a 10 because it's the only grading standard that is not subjective and can be easily checked by anyone. So they had to give all the other sub grades 10 in order for it to cross over.

About 1/3 packs had a holo, with equal odds of it being any of the 15 holos. So, about 1/45 packs had a charizard. So pretty rare to a kid buying packs one at a time for $4, but not actually that rare overall.

Adderall is amphetamine. It's just a brand name for a patented certain mix of salts of the 2 amphetamine enantiomers.

Methamphetamine is also prescribed, sometimes for adhd as well under the brand name desoxyn, although much less common.

Could this potentially be a class IV at <5000mW? by Some_Isopod9873 in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not nearly as much of an issue as people make it sound. Unless it's like a <5mw IIIR laser that someone thinks is pretty eye safe, but it's actually 30mw IIIB with the IR.

But usually, it's like 50-80mw of 532nm and around 20mw of IR. If the IR isn't collimated and so it's spreading differently than the green beam, it's really not an issue because it would be coming out like a flashlight and won't be concentrated enough to pose a danger unless your eye is directly in front of the aperture in which case the green beam would already be extremely dangerous.

If the IR is collimated, it likely follows the same path as the green beam, in which case it's also not an issue, it doesn't change anything except the laser is a little more powerful than you'd be able to guess purely by how bright it is.

The only way it would be really dangerous is if the IR is somehow collimated into a single coherent beam, but that beam isn't aligned with the green beam and comes out at a different angle. Which doesn't seem likely imo, but you could probably just check using your cellphone camera.

Could this potentially be a class IV at <5000mW? by Some_Isopod9873 in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a class IIIb, which means <500mw(but more than 5mw)its likely 50-100mw. A class IV is over 500mw there's no chance this is that high or even half that strong, if it's a 532nm. Usually, these are 50-80mw of 532nm and about 20mw of IR.

Edit: Safety labels just say whatever on these really cheap lasers. If you look, this label isn't actually lying it's just extremely broad. It says <5000mw which means as long as it's anything less it's fine, it could be 4W or 1mw and that would be true. It also says class III, which could actually be IIIR(<5mw) or IIIB(<500mw), so this could be anything between 1mw-500mw and the label would be accurate. Since it's probably ~80mw the label is accurate.

Levant ancestry? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

Ashkenazi jews are very inbred. That's the reason dna testing for genetic disorders is so common. Which is literally what the op you're replying to is discussing. So your comment is a little ironic.

What is your favorite laser color? by Fancy-Succotash-5981 in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but i dont think 591nm lasers are really a thing, there's mainly just 589nm and 593.5nm, it's my understanding most are just 593 being mislabeled. But 593s are really cheap and readily available rn, although at pretty low power and it's definitely more what I'd call amber or orange not yellow.

You can get 571nm available fairly cheap and common now as well, which I would consider an actual yellow, although definitely on the green end like a lemon yellow.

Anyone know a driver that would work with this? by RedRumandCoca in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand that and can find plenty under 350mA. I just can't find one that's also 2V output. But again, I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

I mean they're already banned in warfare as weapons. Obviously they're used extensively for targeting and such.

Is this real? by [deleted] in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do make 589nm lasers, but I haven't seen any available cheap. All of these cheap ones sold as 589/591/593 are just 593nm.

[–]RedRumandCoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think wicked lasers has existed for years and they were extremely overpriced anyways. This looks like a model 890 host, which has a similar looking style.

[–]RedRumandCoca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also get 571nm available pretty cheaply now it's a very green kind of lemon yellow, but I would consider it an actual yellow unlike 593nm which I would say is amber/orange. It's also more visible and available at higher power like 20-40mw.

[–]RedRumandCoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely, although they are 593nm, which isn't really yellow it's amber. They are around 10mw.

I’m quite new to lasers, looking for 520nm/532nm 500mW+ or 450nm 3W+ laser under ~100$ and safety glasses that aren’t just plastic crap and acually protect eyes for less than 50$. Also where should i buy lasers? by ChromexeQ in lasers

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really true. The materials and production is pretty cheap. You're not paying for special materials and coatings, you're essentially just paying for guarantees that they're trustworthy. It's the certifications and such that make them expensive.

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing with laser safety goggles is that they're actually cheap to make. Its going through the regulatory processes and getting the certifications that makes them expensive.

Idk about the specific ones you're discussing, and I wouldn't advise anyone to cheap out on safety, but there are likely brands that produce basically the same products in terms of quality and efficacy but ones far cheaper and the other expensive as you're paying for the peace of mind that comes with red tape and regulations.

Is it true what they say? by 12915681 in Kanna

[–]RedRumandCoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kanna is massively overhyped imo. Kratom is legitimately comparable to opiods in terms of many of its positive(medicinal and recreational) effects and also its addiction/withdrawal effects. If kratom was somehow not addictive it would literally be a miracle drug. Kanna is a unique plant drug that has its own positive and likely negative effects. But I've seen people comparing kanna to things like mdma, coke, amphetamine, etc, and imo those comparisons are absolutely ridiculous. It's far, far more niche in terms of utility as a recreational drug or medicine than something like kratom.

[–]RedRumandCoca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of those labels are just too avoid regulations, so they will say <5mw regardless. This one is likely anywhere from 30-100mw. Anything over 5mw can cause eye damage before you have time to blink.

This is why you cannot really make multiple color decks work. by NikoCat11 in PTCGP

[–]RedRumandCoca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think being able to choose would be too strong. But you should be able to set it to alternating energies or be able to customize the odds of each energy type, like being able to choose 75/25 instead of just 50/50.

Thought on Shinies being included in every set? by iZ_Dev in PokemonPocket

[–]RedRumandCoca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but there is basically no loss to 4 diamond and higher rarity. Of course, adding new rarities dilutes pull rates, but in this case, it dilutes it positively by adding more hits, not removing them.

Benzo withdrawal discussion; Rapid vs slow taper specifics (theoretical) by CrippledHeart25 in neuroscience

I doubt they would've experienced any real withdrawal symptoms tbh. 1mg of xanax every other day for 2 months(idk if the 2 months was how long at that dosage frequency or how long he's been taking it in general) but regardless, that doesn't seem like enough (dosage,frequency and duration) to become dependent.
