you can buy it by itself here, not combined with other medications, in gel caps in every pharmacy and grocery store

they card you to see if you're 18 but I think that's a company policy thing not a law thing

the gel caps are imperfect as the sorbitol in them is really unpleasant. source of the dreaded robo-shits and nausea. in japan they have it in pills with just filler and binder. a/b extraction works well, but the cheapest is to just hit up an RC vendor for a bag of pure powder

you stink, mister

you didn't even bother to do a couple of different levels of blur to properly simulate depth of field. the chain the foreground is exactly as blurred as the bridge towers

wasn’t it a huge pain in the rear end just to get surgeons to do checklists properly

it wouldn't surprise me

guess what other activity commonly partaken-of by surgeons heavily uses checklists?

my flight instructor confirms this and says it's basically that they have the money to buy powerful, fast, agile planes that demand a lot of skill, but not the time to get any practice flying them

and then it doesn't help that they don't follow checklists because they're smart doctors, they know what they're doing

the woz is a good example:

quote:

On February 7, 1981, Apple Computer cofounder Steve Wozniak crashed his Beechcraft Bonanza while taking off from Santa Cruz Sky Park. The NTSB investigation revealed Wozniak did not have a "high performance" endorsement (making him legally unqualified to operate the airplane) and had a "lack of familiarity with the aircraft." The cause of the crash was determined to be a premature liftoff, followed by a stall and "mush" into a 12-foot embankment.[67] Wozniak later made a full recovery, albeit with a case of temporary anterograde amnesia.

on literally my second flight we started training to recover from a departure stall like what caused his crash. it's a trivial procedure and you can avoid the stall in the first place if you know your airplane's speeds (note "premature" liftoff -- there's no excuse for that) and pay attention to the wind.

While well aware of the incredibly lovely behavior of Japan on the Korean Peninsula, renaming your country so as to be higher in the alphabet (an alphabet neither you nor the other country use as a standard) is a "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!"-level response.

Today at our F8 conference I'm going to discuss a new privacy control we're building called "Clear History".

In your web browser, you have a simple way to clear your cookies and history. The idea is a lot of sites need cookies to work, but you should still be able to flush your history whenever you want. We're building a version of this for Facebook too. It will be a simple control to clear your browsing history on Facebook -- what you've clicked on, websites you've visited, and so on.

We're starting with something a lot of people have asked about recently: the information we see from websites and apps that use Facebook's ads and analytics tools.

Once we roll out this update, you'll be able to see information about the apps and websites you've interacted with, and you'll be able to clear this information from your account. You'll even be able to turn off having this information stored with your account.

To be clear, when you clear your cookies in your browser, it can make parts of your experience worse. You may have to sign back in to every website, and you may have to reconfigure things. The same will be true here. Your Facebook won't be as good while it relearns your preferences.

But after going through our systems, this is an example of the kind of control we think you should have. It's something privacy advocates have been asking for -- and we will work with them to make sure we get it right.

One thing I learned from my experience testifying in Congress is that I didn't have clear enough answers to some of the questions about data. We're working to make sure these controls are clear, and we will have more to come soon.

is facebook trying to do some sort of neurolinguistic programming nonsense, because it sure seems like they tried to fit the word clear in here as many times as possible, like, hey we're transparent don't worry pals

Wait, Who Even Asked for Self-Driving Cars in the First Place?

Cummings goes on to argue that we’re in a bubble, particularly around artificial intelligence, the key tech enabling behind autonomy. “While there is certainly a lot of great potential for AI, it is generally grossly misunderstood and overrated across the business sector,” she said. “People want to believe it’s a magic bullet but the reality is it is just another tool in the tech toolbox and not the panacea they are hoping for.”

lol were you my friend back in college, because i totally did exactly what you're describing while friends watched. lighter fluid as an organic solvent, ammonia as the base, citric acid (as lemons) as the acid

i also found that if you use actual lemons instead of citric acid you can boil it down and add sugar and make something fairly close to gross lemon candy out of it
