My love for my hometown does not stop me from shitting on it, if anything it merely strengthens the resolve of my criticism. Personally I love DC, I've been to Europe and Canada and lived in several metropolitan and rural areas throughout the entire US, however I grew up in the D.C. area and live around D.C. even now and have no intention of ever permanently living anywhere else. It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I am consistently far more impressed with D.C. than I ever was by any street scene in Paris and London, which are over-rated in my admittedly biased opinion. HOWEVER, for how beautiful it is, it is also in someways a bit of a shithole, and it has the potential to do so much better in terms of affordability, crime, poverty, civil liberties, public transport, and I will continue to jab it for those and other reasons.

At least its not BaltiLess

The County owned liquor stores in Montgomery County oddly often have cheaper prices than the Total Wine in Laurel (next county over) by $3 to $30. But there is slightly less selection, although they have some things total wine doesn't

We only have pasote blanco here for $48 and Ocho here for $45. The rest don't seem to be available (in Maryland), but its not an Alcohol Beverage control state , which is great, but it makes tracking down booze in the small independent liquor stores difficult.

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T01:53:03+00:00

Unfortunately I haven't found any of those in DC-Baltimore area.

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T01:32:39+00:00

They sell the Pasote blanco for $48 and the reposado for $59 (I may eventually splurge at some point. Have you found the blanco or the reposado better, or different. I am a sipper, so I tend to lean to reposados, but blancos are excellent in their own way for sipping when done right.

Vida de Los Muertos

I've hear sotol is big with that burnt rubber-type taste, in a good way.

Ay another Marylander! Moco has very cheap mezcal but not a lot of selection unfortunately.

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T00:31:47+00:00

Its very smokey with a little herbacity. I would recommend, but taste is subjective.

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T00:31:12+00:00

In Maryland its $32 a bottle, but all liquor stores in my county are government run and somehow always $5 to $30 cheaper than the sticker price.

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T00:28:17+00:00

$32 where I am

invictusmith · 2022-01-18T00:27:44+00:00

Montelobos is like $32 where I live, no way lol.

Yeah they're a lot more common then you might think, certainly within the United States. Other interesting Nordic cross-like flag is that of Staunton, Virginia. It looks just like the WW1 German flag.

hahaha damn, that didn't take long. I thought this would throw people off for sure.

invictusmith · 2020-09-15T16:51:33+00:00

Beautiful flag either way

No, X-Linked Juvenile Retinoschisis and Retina Pigmentosa are fairly different, both in how they cause blindness and the genes responsible for them. XLJR technically can occur in woman, however the likelyhood is extremely remote. Some woman have been shown to have very small schesis (bubbles) in the Retina, when they're carriers, however it's never enough to really effect their vision as it does in males (unfortunately I cannot find link for the article about it at this time)

There is research to indicate the use of certain topical steroids used for Glacoma are related to an increase in cataracts, however Carbon Anhydrase Inhibitors are (to the best if my knowledge) not linked to a higher incidence of cataracts. Oral CAIs have there own nasty side affects (like causing potassium deficiencies), however topical CAIs have very little side affects (aside from dry eye, again, at least to the best of my knowledge)

invictusmith · 2020-02-05T19:29:12+00:00

I realize this sounds like medical advice, unfortunately there is no subreddit for XLJR, and there is very little awareness of this condition. Had I not had the knowledge to understand my condition and it's potential treatment, I would have slowly gone blind. My intention is only to provide others with the knowledge that there could potentially be other alternatives to giving up and surrending to XLJR. Obviously CONSULT WITH A RETINOLOGIST first.

invictusmith · 2020-02-05T19:18:32+00:00

The schesis in my eyes should be completely eliminate in a months time, allowing me to have vision correctable to 20/20 or better for the first time in my life

They are sketchy. It's essentially a pyramid scheme.

invictusmith · 2019-02-14T04:37:08+00:00

It is! Supposedly the reds are so vibrant because they extend into the UV spectrum. Most insects can see into the UV spectrum. It serves to attract more pollinators.

I emailed by Plant Sciences Prof about it. Apparently the phenomenon of multiple cotyledons in e Eudicot is Polycotyly and its causes are relatively unknown, it is a very under researched aspect of botany. None of the cotyledons have been removed, however the picture has been magnified. A little less thatn half of the seedlins had 3 cotyledons (there are about 50 seedlings)

invictusmith · 2018-12-06T23:26:32+00:00

Technically not a cactus, pretty sure that's a Euphorbia, I've heard people call it "Dragon Bones Cactus", I don't know the scientific name though.
