A friend of mine in the UK who's on disability had a system like that that would beep loudly and ominously before running out of money and even though she's since moved into a house with power actually covered by the disability program instead of poo poo she has to manage herself she still hallucinates that goddamn beeping sound in the middle of the night sometimes, like some kinda loving power company induced PTSD

It does, depending on the test. A GC/MS might recognize it as a calibration sample. Instant result tests, should work fine, but a diluted sample can beat those, so you're better off buying some creatine monohydrate and vitamin B complex.

A gram or two of creatine to make your body retain water, half to a whole gallon of water, and 200mg of vitamin B complex to turn your piss yellow, 2-3 hours before the drug test. Piss twice before giving a sample.

Those are the active ingredients in most of those "cleansing" tonics or whatever that headshops sell for $30+. You can get many, many drug tests worth of creatine and vitamin B from a GNC for the same $30. I've used that method to good success in the past, specifically the military. At the time the marijuana detection threshold was 50 nanograms/microliter, confirmation at 15, on GC/MS. If they didn't see it at 50, they didn't test the confirmation level. I wouldn't trust it so much now, and don't know the current regs, but it worked over a decade ago.

Military drug tests are unique in that you have a urinalysis administrator that is supposed to watch you piss, from source to cup. Kinda like a probation or DOT test. Substituting is just not possible so if you want to enjoy your drugs, you have to do a few things. Keep creatine and vitamin B handy, and get to know a the lower enlisted close to command, at battalion/flight/whatever if possible. Secret squirrels (lower enlisted command) can often be bought off, if you're friendly enough. Sometimes just with beer. Or have inept command that can't keep the secret, those were my favorite.

So in summation, dilution can be the solution to the pollution, but you need to study and have an alternative (synthetic or clean) if you can substitute and it is GC/MS lab tested.

It's likely yours went through a newer machine that recognized it as a calibration solution. Also you'd be a fool to believe that Quick Fix and the like aren't programmed in to be detected due to whatever the makeup of the solution is. In that case, dump a little out of the bottle and top off the bottle with late stream, late in the day urine (a tiny bit, couple milliliters). Weed likes to trickle out more in your morning piss than the evening for some reason.

I did the same thing and passed a employment screen a few years ago. The cheapo tests check color, temp, and look for creatanine, the metabolite of creatine. That's the extent of their verification that it's piss so as long as you can fool those 3 values you can fake most piss in a cup quick tests at least.

I ordered a 5 euro wii adapter because I wanted to give my old wii to my ex's kids.
I got it, but also a piece of cardboard with a very angrily stabbed/scratched 'happy new year' on it, and a mobile 4g modem worth 400 euros for some reason.

I'm guessing there's someone in the warehouse very angrily scratching good wishes into cardboard while putting some expensive electronics with anything.

Filled my heart with jolly good cheer in any case.
