You would solely take LSD by putting it on unbroken skin? Multiple LSD chemists have confirmed this is a myth.

An esteemed underground LSD chemist arrested in '05, Donnie Shackelford, is quoted in an unfinished book on black market LSD production by Tim Scully. Here's an excerpt from the interview.

>Tim Scully said, "Did you ever get dosed through your skin in the lab". Donnie Shackelford replied, "No, I have accidentally dosed myself while laying sheets, I either touched my eye, or mouth. But the answer to your question is no, you cannot be dosed through the skin. I never wore gloves in any procedure unless lye is used and it isn’t in this procedure. I learned the hard way dropping a flask with 20g of LSD in it. I was extremely upset. I’ve had it all over my hands many, many times. I was there when Dr. Nichols basically called bullshit on the good doctor at Mindstates 60th anniversary".

This is the Mindstates talk by David Nichols https://erowid.org/general/conferences/conference_mindstates...

>"Another fact: I've made LSD in my lab on many occasions for research purposes, possibly in not so meticulous a manner as Albert Hofmann. Nothing ever happened. I had several graduate students who made LSD as an intermediate for projects. No accidental ingestion of LSD ever occurred. A technician in my lab makes it routinely because we use it as a drug to train our rats. He's learned by experience that he never gets high, nothing ever happens. And yesterday I was talking to Nick Sand, and Nick said, "I made a solution of LSD in DMSO…" -- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a chemical that greatly enhances absorption of other chemicals through the skin -- he says, "…I painted it on my skin. Nothing happened." A concentrated solution and nothing happened!"

Those people are generally scammers unfortunately.

What city are you getting a $500 apartment in, and what health insurance plan is $30?

Do you have evidence from the apk that phone numbers were being retrieved?

That's a very vague comment to make without naming the subreddit and the topics being discussed on it. What are the "controversial topics" and what are the "truly dangerous ideas"?

How is your internet provisioned? Is the no-name ISP building their own infrastructure or are they using the network of a larger one?

There have always been vendors on the markets who have purported to send you cash in the mail for your bitcoins. Several vendor arrests have been attributed to theses vendors being government agents (or to keeping customer records that were discovered after their arrests).

It was only possible in the Victorian period for the wealthy elite. If you were born into a family that owned vast swaths of land or used to run slave plantations in the Caribbean you were set for life and could devote your life to less crude pursuits than the gain of capital. You would also have a ready built network of others with similar wealth and social expectations.

That was the propaganda published at the time. Postwar analysis showed that the air campaign was totally ineffective at hunting down scud launchers.

>Second, there is no technical evidence that a single TEL was actually destroyed during the war, despite the claims of some 100 “kills” by aircrews and special forces. [...] The exact impact of coalition operations against mobile systems is more problematic. Iraqi launch operations never stopped and only diminished somewhat over time, although during the last week of the war launch operations increased in tempo. At best, it can be said that counter-Scud efforts only maintained “pressure” on Iraqi missile operations and that Scud CAP operations apparently were successful at harassing but never halting Iraqi launch operations.

You don't need to change the environment, you need to change the compensation. Do you think that for the last 15 years highly intelligent people have found the most enjoyment in developing advertising software? Or found the most enjoyment in investment banking in the years before that?

The best future proofing is running a conduit, not just copper.

Using phone numbers as identifiers for encrypted messages is the core feature of Signal. It was marketed from day one as a drop in SMS replacement. Initially it even used SMS as the transport for encrypted messages. It was literally called "TextSecure". This is why I have always found the attacks on it using phone numbers to be amusing.

The "issuance liabilities" included loans backed by bitcoin. If someone posts bitcoin as collateral and tethers are generated, how much money has flown into crypto?

Unless the connection broker has more bandwidth than the server, the attack will just take it out instead, still denying access to the site. Either it doesn't work or it's just adding more bandwidth with extra steps. Your solution might help people already connected to the server, but anyone else is still out of luck.

The software has nothing to do with it, the "vulnerability" is that they probably have a 1Gbps port that is getting 5Gbps of reflected UDP thrown at it. I'd love to see your software mitigation for that.

The average Coinbase retail investor is not going to use a DEX. In fact I would be surprised if over 50% of their users have ever transmitted coins away from Coinbase a single time. Sure the first users were obtaining BTC for productive purposes like buying from darknet markets, but the majority of their users have come during the investment booms. From their S1 they are holding $90 billion in cash and fiat. $44 billion of that is for institutions, but the rest is from retail investors who are buying what Coinbase makes available to them and letting it sit in the app while they wait for it to go up.

Would you be willing to throw your docker file up somewhere? I have a RTL-SDR and an underutilized pi4 that this sounds perfect for. I've even seen some of the weather stations in the vineyards near my house.

It's pretty silly to pretend that the exercise of a single regiment is causing the drama when it's estimated that there are 100k troops on the border: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/01/07/world/europe/...

The malware appears to use a web based command and control server, so there could be a vulnerability in it, a easily brute forced password or even open access. For example, Zeus, the first major banking trojan, would store logs for each infected victim in a folder on its web server. If the owner was careless, these would be exposed in an open directory. If this was the case, the very first folder would almost always be a test infection of the owner, and the very first password capture in it would be the owner logging into the control panel to see if it was working. Good fun back in the day.

For lead the radioactivity comes from uranium mixed with the original ore, not from outside sources. That's why it needs to be hundreds or thousands of years old rather than just pre 1945.

>All lead mined on Earth naturally contains some amount of the radioactive element uranium 235, which decays, over time, into another radioactive element, a version of lead called lead 210. When lead ore is first processed, it is purified and most of the uranium is removed. Whatever lead 210 is already present begins to break down, with half of it decaying on average every 22 years. In Roman lead almost all of the lead 210 has already decayed, whereas in lead mined today, it is just beginning to decay.

Do you have any experience with them? From this recent article it seems like they are having issues with scaling and staff turnover: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkpp3k/psychedelic-telemedic...

They are competing with Amazon (the AWS groundstation product)[0], not SpaceX Starlink.

>Kepler CEO and co-founder Mina Mitry said the six-year-old privately-held Toronto company only plans to launch 200 of its own small satellites to establish its internet-of-the-sky service called AEther. The rest of the six-figure sum of flying objects would actually be launched by its customers – such as Earth observation services, space tourism operators, space agencies and defence departments – which would affix a cellphone-sized 220-gram terminal provided by Kepler to their own satellites. The Kepler box would function like a SIM card and enable customer satellites to connect to the larger constellation “and any other space-borne assets” in LEO, via the always-on, always-available AEther network.

From the article it looks like they are trying to act as an uplink/downlink service for other satellites rather than anything terrestrial.

Ransomware before crypto was locking down individual desktops until they went to a gas station to buy $500 in Ukash or paysafecard vouchers. The ability to demand millions at once (and to actually receive it) is a huge change that has massively expanded the industry.

>If you get an unexpected phone call, hang up. Then look up the bank, agency or organization that’s supposedly calling and get in touch directly.

They should really add a warning here not to use Google for this unless they have an adblocker installed.

>I can paste the wiki stuff about how it’s essentially similar to Meth

Yes, drugs that get classified as stimulants due to their physiological effects will have some similar effects. Different mechanism of action though, and not derived from amphetamine.

>it’s a serious drug.

Yes, as opposed to all the light and fluffy drugs.

As the article points out, the big change is in the production levels and the price. If meth is cheap and every dealer is flooded with it, more people are going to be using it and in higher quantities that will produce more visible (and negative) effects.

The random apartments are probably stash houses used for storage of bulk quantities that would be broken down and distributed to dealers.

From the context I assume he is talking about counterfeit pain pills (a M30 is an oxycodone pill) that are made with fentanyl (often in very high or uneven doses). Though counterfeit Adderall pills made with meth are now starting to show up.
