Yeah, Sweden and Switzerland do a lot of that sort of thing with their neutrality. Though now that Sweden joined NATO I wonder if they're not going to be able to anymore.

Vinylon is still made in Japan, where it's used for work outerwear. Aprons, coveralls, gloves, that type of thing. I'm sure that's where the swedes get it.

(Seems like it'd actually be pretty good for that, since it's durable, doesn't stain, and is less warm than natural fibers. Who cares if your apron is stiff and scratchy.)

Nah, just the Kånken backpacks

quote:

Kånken wouldn’t be Kånken without Vinylon F. This synthetic fibre has been used to make the classic everyday backpack (and our Kajka trekking backpack, too) since the beginning, and its durability is clearly proven.

Despite being a man-made fabric it functions like one created by nature. When Vinylon F fibres become damp they swell, making the weave tighter. So they resist rain showers without the need of a coating.

They claim that it's made in Japan, but we all know that it's Juche fiber smuggled in by North Korean fishing boats.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

that video's wrong, too. the first consonant is half-aspirated palate consonant and the second is fully aspirated palate consonant. so the second consonant is pronounced pretty close to the normal way that ch is pronounced in english and the first consonant doesnt exist in english

23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for TMZ before the Tokyo Olympics, the same substance that the Russian skater popped before Bejing. The Tokyo positive results weren't shared with anyone by the anti doping agency with claims that it was impossible to prove with covid restrictions in place, and now there's a shitstorm.

I used to think this but consider the people who generally participate in athletics, children and adolescents. They're already put through a meat grinder when training, no need to incentivise pumping them full of drugs and hormones.

I also assume there's a safety difference between an amount that's at least somewhat difficult to detect and trying to hit the limit of chemicals you can take before your heart explodes.
