Severing posted:I heard a rumor today (sorry no source, was in a conversation) that Coles and Woolies are sitting on pellets of bog rolls in distribution centers but they are not shipping them out. Apparently photos and statements from employees are behind the claim. The reason offered up was that they prefer it like this as it keeps people going in to check and picking up some milk and a chocolate bar or whatever while they are there. Any photo of the DC toilet paper section is going to look like alladins cave of toilet paper because even under normal circumstances its going to be like 500 pallets in there. Its probably not even physically possible to stockpile more than a normal supply because they dont build these things and then leave pallets spaces vacant for toilet paper schemes that might come up. Tiny companies stake their existence on getting one measly pallet spot in a DC and it'll make or break them, its not something that can be shifted around on a whim. Its extremely valuable real estate. Another thing is that supermarkets dont make money the way you think they make money and a poo poo cunning trick like this isnt really the level they operate at. At every level of operations every managers bonus is more heavily tied to customer feedback than any kind of financial metric, its 100% in everyones interest for you to get the things you want to buy at the time you go to buy them. Any upset to the customer is personally costing every layer of management money out of their own pocket.

Once I was reading the details of this campaign and the basic problem they wanted to focus on was some research said like "88% of people shopping for lunch items do not walk down the biscuit aisle". So they go and work out where people are shopping for lunch items, which might be the bananas and the deli. So they buy advertising space and a huge campaign showing pictures of smoked salmon on biscuits next to the bananas and deli. The thing is they dont actually want to sell cruskits or smoke salmon, its just to drive you to walk down the biscuit aisle at lunch time, which is mostly set up to sell you tim tams. IIRC this was arnotts, but every vendor is spending tons of money to do this level of 4d poo poo with regards to marketing to you in the store. The stores role in this is to provide the people to be advertised to.

A floppy disk, also known as a floppy, diskette, or simply disk, is a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).

In the game, the player has to travel to five different time periods of Earth, using time doors. The periods are: Pangea age (about 300 to 250 million years ago), 1423 B.C. ("before the dawn of civilization"), 1990 A.D., the 2112 A.D. aftermath, and the Time of Legends (a timeless period). In 2112 A.D., the player also has to travel to space, where he can visit all the planets in the solar system. A unique characteristic of Ultima 2 is the strong presence of random events: most items can only be obtained randomly from defeated enemies; when raising the character attributes, the specific attribute raised is selected at random; the maximum values of the character attributes are random, too, because the upgrading process has to stop when any one attribute gets higher than 95, or the character will be punished.

Your supermarket posts are always interesting and/or entertaining. My weed dealer I have shared stories of before. one time he told me he was on a tight schedule because he had to pick up a package from the post office. he got in my car and told me what the package was. it was speed rollerblades. custom made by the fastest guy in the US, for my dealer, the fastest guy in Australia. it was definitely believable that this 40+ balding man with a beer gut was the fastest rollerblader in the land. from that day onwards I call him my speed dealer. he also offers me 3 different strains and any time I Ask which is better he says 'mate they're all the same just pick one' my hard-drugs dealer is pretty reliable but definitely going to get caught considering he asks me to pull up out the front of his house and doesnt even bother with the drive around the block tactic. I trid to buy weed off him once and he said 'yeah how many do you want?' and I said 'three' and he said 'three pounds?! you trying to take my customers mate?' I only wanted three ounces. he recently bought 7000 hits of acid and is trying desperately to move them. offered me a sheet (100 hits) for $300.

Isaac posted:Im scared to do acid anymore in case its those research chemicals that make you die yeah this is my thought too. theres a lot of LSD-like drugs out there that have similar duration and effects with the added bonus of actually being able to kill you. nBOMe being one of them. Magic Truffles but longer is what I would expect LSD to be like and so far its just been 'fractured headspace/thoughts, blurry wavy vision and muscle spasms/body aches/sweating for 10 hours. I've had 2 different batches so far and both did the same thing. If I do it again I'll be getting a reagent test kit and following the TCC advice of 'always take two tabs' if its genuine. I've only ever had 1 or half tabs.

when i did acid i always got test kits myself to be sure and in the silk road days legit 98% was literally a few dollars for a dozen tabs. research chemicals scared me off em too along with not being able to spend 2 days tripping out and another day figuring out what is reality again.

Blow posted:Describe DMT please. Laserface posted:difficult to use correctly in my limited experience. The DMT technique i always used was layering it between weed and not letting the flame hit it and it worked every time for me. One of my dealers had me teach him how and there i was sat with a very serious business drug dealer listening to cypress hill while guiding him through how to smoke it properly nervously eyeing off his gun on the other side of the room hoping he kept his poo poo calm. Breaking through on DMT there is a physical high where you feel like you don't have a body then the mental high is like you have elevated beyond any human existence, kinda like really huge doses of LSD only way way way more intense. Only lasts about 10-15m and my best trip basically the walls and floor of my bedroom all folded in on each other until i was surrounded by pure darkness then it unfolded and i spoke to some kind of Anubis looking creature about life for what felt like hours then that all folded up and i was back in my room and only 10 minutes had passed. If you can't nail the technique just sprinkling some in your weed or in a joint gives it a huge extra kick if you aren't trying to have some crazy psychedelic experience but i've sworn off everything but weed for a while now. There's only so many times you should be pushing your mind like that and once I hit my 30s I was like i really shouldn't go much further anymore.

My buddy I stayed with in Canada was trying to vaporise it with a glass one hitter and it just wasn't working for us. He also refused to try the weed sandwich technique because he thought the weed would sully the experience. Apparently you can use some electronic vaporisers so that's my next avenue since I don't have the hardiness in my lungs to punch a full cone in one rip.
