So Nominet deserve it with both barrels.
I wouldn't phrase it like that (incitement to violence and all) but they do deserve a sky burial. Engage every Vulture Central turbo-props (--->)!
(or slightly more to the point)
Surely somebody like Mr. Bezos can see that the 'green light' is glowing more brightly these days, illuminating such a more beneficial business model.
I think that the only "green light" that it brings to mind for him is like the green light described in Stephen King's Needful Things. (You need a bookshop?)
I doubt this is true, but I remember a story that one of my school teachers told us in class, that somewhere in China, they named a city "Sheffield" so that they could stamp it on the cutlery that they wanted to export around the world. Perhaps there is a Busan, Tennessee that sometimes, inadvertently gets added to the routing slip?
Here in the United States we are able broadcast the election results moments after the polls close
And sometimes even before that.
Tcch! Big Nothing!
IIRC, DMT isn't active orally, so you have to mix it with a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), hence the Harmine.
The article says that the mix of the two is evidence of prolonging the high, but it could also be that they didn't smoke/vaporise(*) DMT at all (no pipe included in the kit, but I suppose you can inhale smoke without one), but rather hit on the right combination to make the DMT work with the method(s) of ingestion available to them. So less "searching for a bigger high" than "figuring out how to make the thing work in the first place", I think. Either way, For Great Science!
I guess that the bufotenins (5-MeO-DMT, not mentioned in the article, but I did read about it elsewhere) that you get from toads are probably mixed with MAOI-like substances in the toad's skin. Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a deterrent against being eaten...
(*I'm not sure if DMT is active when snorted without a MAOI, either)
(that's weird---how can my huge copy of TIHKAL fit into that tiny pocket? --->)

"To make sure we ate the most intelligent herring, he fished the estuary. He planted a notice: "Literate herring, this way" below the waterline, at the corner where it met the sea. The paint for the notice was made of crushed heads. Red-eyed herring (sore from reading) would round the corner, read the notice, and sense the estuary water, bland and eye-easing. A few feet brought them within the confining friendliness of his manila net... and a purposeful end."
I'm off to play some (travel) Ludo...
