Re: Fly agaric..

"However, common ink cap breakdown products can block the enzyme that breaks down acetaldehyde."

its more or less the same chemistry as occurs in the drug Antabuse/Disulfiram which is given to extreme alcoholics. The antibiotic, Metronidazole has a similar effect. The full list of products to stay away from is quite high.....deodorants, aftershave, vinegar, pickled herrings/onions/cabbage...........

does "trumping" have the same meaning in the USA as it does in the free english-speaking world?

@ S Raith

" I'd suggest readers click on x 7s name to see his previous baseless assertions, and my comprehensive destruction of them."

1) I haven't made any baseless assertions

2) You haven't comprehensively destroyed anything I've said

All I've seen from you in response to my comments are a series of rambling unstructured monologues which appear alcohol-fueled, irrelevant unsubstantiated hearsay, based on what you would LIKE to be true, as opposed to reality. In the main I've chosen to ignore your comments as arguing with a deluded fool rarely provides a return on the energy and time expended.

However......your comments about shops selling vaping kit being "exclusively over 18" is total bollox. Go into any shop round here selling the stuff and the kids are in the majority. Same on the street - who do you see vaping? Kids and impressionable young women. Your argument that "those kids would have been doing it anyway" is irrelevant and misguided. The point is that the new cigarette labeling legislation was specifically intended to make tobacco products less appealing to kids, so that the take-up by new users would be reduced. Instead you now have the vaping industry providing an alternative route into consumption, and most importantly, an alternative route which bypasses the advertising restrictions so enable marketing to be directed at kids. Combined with the fruity flavours, you are looking at products which are designed for kids, marketed at kids, and consumed by kids and young women. Totally following the marketing routes already tested and proven by the alcopops industry.

Alcopops and vaping share one simple fact: both are new products aimed specifically at the underage market, with a view to creating and securing future demand as the kids grow to maturity.

Its wrong, its unethical, and its immoral.

Re: For insurance purposes...

theres a bit more than that........besides the handful of air-launched Exoceta, the Argies also had a number of ship-launched ones. After the Belgrano sinking, the Argentine Navy more or less refused to play, so some of their Exocets were flown to Stanley, where the French team mounted them on the backs of trucks. At least one attacked and hit a British vessel off Port Stanley, though with limited damage

"I guess my one-time possession of a BX qualifies me for tosserdom"

nothing wrong with a BX, that gas suspension made it one of the most comfortable cars even now, and also one of the most forgiving if you like throwing cars around. The self-leveling made it damned hard to unstick one when cornering at speed. Wish I still had mine

Re: Sorry that handle Voland's right hand Two steps forward...

"From what I remember, the effectiveness of Patriot when used against Scud back in 1991 was massively overstated, but that's 25 years ago."

I think its now fairly well accepted that the tally of Scuds intercepted by Patriot during the Gulf War was zero. However as you say, that was some years ago and there have been some targeting mods made which MAY give SOME ABM defence ability. But the Patriot was never designed as an ABM defence and can't be relied upon

"I like your comment, but for "Cossack land" try the Wikipedia"

historically "cossack" and "khazak" were synonymous, though I accept there are other areas of Russia and Asia which were also homes to cossack tribes - not least the Ukraine

Re: Want to increase your personal call stats? @x 7

"Erm, I think you misunderstood what x 7 did.

There is a metric (call time). If you find a way to improve this metric in a bullshit fashion that violates pretty much all other metrics, and you go ahead and do it, you should be fired. Publicly. With a clear warning to the others."

precisely accurate description of what happened

@ Steven Raith

I wasn't aware you were waiting for a source......

as it happens we used to synthesise a range of nitrosonicotines and nitrosonornicotines. The products we made were the standards used by several major cigarette manufacturers in analysing their products. Now I'm not going to give away the manufacturing methods as they're proprietary and unpublished. But I can assure you that burning the nicotine wasn't part of the synthetic route. However I can assure you that heating nicotine WILL produce nitrosonicotines

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

you have to have windows, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the damage when they get broken
