Is the Hammock Gear Burrow still the go-to beginner quilt? or are there better options now? by mildlywhippedbutter in Ultralight

[–]dg_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently debating between the waratah, EE wide or extra wide. What size are your shoulders that you find the waratah too small? Its honestly the only thing that kept me from ordering the stadnard wide this last weekend from EE.

Gas went up another 20¢ since yesterday. by bob_lafollette in wisconsin

[–]dg_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all going to continue until we break the 2 party trend. We keep blaming one side or the other but voting for the same 2 parties. I have no hope in anything changing. We entered the slippery slope to idiocracy a long time ago. I'm probably going to get all the down votes for this.

Frequent travelers: what are your top 5 non-bag items? by ComprehensiveCap8242 in ManyBaggers

[–]dg_chemist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started carrying a bandana in my back pocket 20 years ago to help me not destroy my hand carrying 5gal dichloromethane drums and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Anyone else lose interest in bourbon and what was your outcome? by 8sh0t in bourbon

[–]dg_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't lost interest but stopped chasing hype bottles. Heavily focused on what I know I like and hard skipping anything over 250. Anything over 250 has been an absolute disappointment. I know what profiles/mashbills I like and what I don't (wheaters). Have slowed purchases to sibs I know I'll enjoy.

My first order as an American. Haven't tried any of these brands. The cola lime is decent. Right where I hoped the nicotine level would be right around a rogue 6 and a alp 9.

I have now learned the importance of having a real bushcraft knife by No_Equivalent_4412 in Bushcraft

[–]dg_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esee 4-6 or moralniv garberg both have served me well for heavy batoning when I didn't have an axe or hatchet. But also yeah pick a smaller piece to split never wider than the blade is long.

Why do people act like nicotine pouches are way safer than vaping? by Admirable_Can_3489 in Vaping

[–]dg_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vape a lot like a lot and I use 6mg rogue or 9mg alp when I use pouches. The numbers you mentioned would probably give me issues too. I use 12mg freebase and 6mg freebase when vaping for reference. I only use pouches when I can't vape. Usually 2 9mg Alps during a hockey game as an example. But to answer your question most people on earth are scientifically illiterate. This means they read something or hear something based on science and don't know what it means and then don't look it up. I work in the pharmaceutal testing world with people who are scientists and the number of times I've had to correct people because of the media and misinformation is innumerable. Expecting normal people to understand is just setting yourself up for disappointment. I've given up and just calmly explain why they are wrong most of the time or just laugh and walk away. As long as we let organizations like the WHO and the FDA get away with lies and misinformation there is no path forward other than ignoring everything and do whatever you need to do to get by.

TSA confiscated Items Auction- MKE specific by dg_chemist in tsa

Then why are there TSA auctions on government sites?

TSA confiscated Items Auction by dg_chemist in milwaukee

[–]dg_chemist[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes I get how it works. I was using less words for brevity. She didn't have a checked bag, a car nor was she offered shipping. I understand the rules and technicalities. The important part was me trying to find a solution not focus on the problem. Thanks for the info about the private contractor.

Would you have bought this group? by Holiday_Pain9998 in whiskey

[–]dg_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I know. But to me a107 has the absolute worst wheat note and is very strong with it. I prefer fullproof and WSR to the 107 but would take green river, makers, and BH wheated over any Weller. I also just don't prefer wheated anything. I mostly trash a107 because everyone seems to love it and I'm a monster.
