What seems cool about this to me is that they seem to have done it with a plain old FDM printer and copper impregnated PLA. The devices are fairly large (mm scale) so presumably anyone with a $200 ender and the correct filament could print

There's a part 1 to this story where they had reporters purchase precursors from Chinese vendors for miniscule sums. (The article claims they bought enough precursors to make enough fentanyl to manufacture 750,000 fake Perc M30s for $3

Is that true, I have always heard that a tiny bit of lead is in the fumes. Either way I still think that one should avoid breathing soldering fumes as a general rule, no matter how pleasant they may smell.

Speaking from experience these types of technical details often get cut from news reporting anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if the author of this peice did in fact look that up but it got cut from the final copy. I think this is likel

I once made some rosin for soldering by dissolving the stuff made from tree sap for stringed instruments in isopropyl alcohol, and I think this is pretty close to the smell you're after. Fairly certain it's still not ideal to inha

2,000 mg is likely an unsafe dose of any SSRI. In the past I was prescribed one and the dosage was 20 mg and even that made me feel a little bit strange and uneasy for the first few days until my body adjusted to it. Sorry you went through

I believe when in life you are exposed makes a difference too. Children are at a higher risk for being harmed by lead for a number of reasons including having less blood than an adult, and being more likely to eat paint chips off the ground

We've known lead was harmful for nearly 2,000 years though [1]. Compare that timeline to compounds created, widely used, and then discovered to be harmful in the past 50 years. I am not advocating for lead or copper soldered water pipe

In some states there is additionally the personal benefit of older vehicles (usually 20+ years old) being exempt from annual emissions testing. This is probably a wash for society (harm from extra emissions - however much C02 emmissions you

Was this stock? I do not recall this feature in either the 1998 nor 2001 Subarus I drove into the ground. Seems strange but not implausible it would have been briefly an option in the generation after that. 2005 is about when Subarus got le

This confusion is especially annoying when trying to purchase a bootloader unlocked phone on secondary market. I'm not even sure it's possible if you buy through a dealer. By unlocked they exclusively mean carrier unlocked.

It doesnt appear as if the cops generated any sexually explicit AI images of an underage girl. Is this accurate? Is there any legal precedent about AI CSAM yet? While that sort of content is of no interest to me I've been wondering abo
