Actual plumbers (and electricians, fitters, tinners, etc) buy stuff from supply houses, that’s why the selection is garbage. Some supply houses will sell to people off the street, some will not. For everyone else, there’s McMaster Carr.

You cannot use EMT to support actual weight. RMC or 12ga strut can support an actual load.

EMT is pretty flimsy stuff, why would you build anything with it when extruded aluminum and strut channel exist? Or even RMC, it’s much stronger than EMT. I know it’s a cost thing, but use the right material for the job. There’s absolutely

Suboxone is far easier to discontinue than methadone, I took it for 18 months and then discontinued use about 10 years ago. Methadone withdrawals can last for a month (I’d never make it that long) but suboxone physical withdrawals were go
