EVERY SURPLUS RIFLE WITH BOLT ACTION IS CHEAP SOME TIME IN HISTORY. MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE IS MOST NUMEROUS OF ALL INFANTRY RIFLE. IT IS RIFLE THAT WINS OCTOBER REVOLUTION.

MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE SERVES FOR MORE THAN CENTURY, OLD STOLEN RUSSIAN RECEIVER IS STILL USE BY SNIPER OF FINNISH ARMY.

YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH 40,000 ROUBLE RIFLE WITH NO HISTORY AND PLASTIC STOCK WHO KILLS PAPER TARGET AND DEER WITH NO WEAPON OR FIGHTING HEART.

I CAN BE HAPPY WITH 2,000 ROUBLE RIFLE THAT IS ARTIFACT OF MILITARY HISTORY AND KILLS TSARIST AND NAZI ALIKE.

Can't wait for GBS to leak through the rest of the forums the way LF did when it went away. At least YCS just stayed in Games.

The best way to deal with this is to close GBS and permaban anyone who has posted there.

The horror stories I still remember from my childhood were about botulinum toxin (called the sausage plague in my local tongue). I was taught never to let sausages (or meat in general) sit out or go past their expiration date, because no matter how much you nuke whatever bacteria reside there, the poison they make will survive.

I learned this before learning that it was a common cosmetic treatment to inject the sausage plague into your face. That was a trip.

Botulism will only grow in anaerobic conditions (no oxygen). Sausages are fine because they're exposed to air. Canned/bottled products are the main culprits because they're sealed away from air. It's also possible to get it from certain products in oil.

Staph also produces toxin and will grow in aerobic conditions, but the poison is much less lethal.

I've seen wart treatment kits in pharmacies that involve burning them off with acid.

My dad taught me a treatment for plantar warts that actually worked. Basically you take a pill of aspirin, crush it up into a powder and mix it with a drop or two of water to make it into a paste, then put the paste over the wart and bandage it up. Repeat daily for a week or so.

It worked for me anyway

The kits I saw used salicylic acid (active component of aspirin), yes. They also typically had a nail-polish-like-substance to apply to the skin around the wart to protect it from the acid.

worth mentioning that salicylic acid is the same poo poo the put in acne creams for children. its not exactly going to burn a hole in you

While this is true, 'it's also used in X' isnt a great argument. Phosphoric acid is in soft drinks, and I've tried to put hydrochloric acid in food before (marketing keep stopping me).

Caffiene and nicotine are definitely intended as insecticides.

Birds don’t crush the seeds and are insensitive to capsaicin.
