Donna Campbell6 said:Every kind of school out there basically works the same way—they just hand students these pre-packaged bundles of info, like it's some finished product from a factory. It’s all based on what we think we know right now in a specific field, which is usually already a little bit outdated, let's be real. But honestly? It feels like schools are actually working against what knowledge is supposed to be. Real knowledge isn't something you can just "freeze" in place like that. Its whole vibe is to constantly question everything... and even to doubt itself. Or, well... more like seeing itself as just a temporary stepping stone toward something better and deeper down the road. Instead, schools treat knowledge like it's set in stone, serving it up to students as this absolute truth you're just supposed to swallow whole without question. So where does that leave critical thinking? Nowhere, really. I mean, it's hard to imagine a school functioning any other way. But doesn't that make them almost anti-scientific? They take something inherently dynamic and turn it into something totally static. And by teaching like that... aren't they just making people less sharp? What do you guys think?
Schools aren't scientific institutions; they are educational ones. Taking a strictly "scientific" approach in a K-12 setting probably wouldn't make much sense, nor would it yield many results—except maybe for the top 1% of geniuses.
Universities, on the other hand, are research institutions, and they operate with more flexibility. It isn't just about memorizing finished products. In my view, that's how they work better—and I'm not talking about commerce or economics here. 😁
This is actually pretty interesting—I find the smell to be quite pleasant, personally. It’s mostly just those B vitamins and Vitamin A doing the heavy lifting; they always have the most intense scent.
There are tons of manufacturers out there who just pack the powder into capsules. If you can't find what you need locally, you can easily order it from the USA, where prices are usually significantly lower anyway. I can't think of a specific brand off the top of my head, but I've seen them in all sorts of catalogs—it shouldn't be hard to track down.
I honestly think we should be teaching kids about quality alcohol in school—since they’re going to drink anyway. It’s about harm reduction, right? They should at least know the merits of a decent red wine or a solid craft beer over some bottom-shelf vodka mixed with cheap soda. We need to show them which budget-friendly wines won't kill them, and maybe mention that a local stout from a brewery in Portland is miles ahead of anything else on the market.

Basically, the traffic here has spiked tenfold in just three years. 🙂 And, well, the fallout is that the site gets unstable sometimes, crashes occasionally, or requires you to mash the F5 key a few times just to get a page to load.
Right. So, when everything runs smoothly for weeks and then suddenly we're getting slammed with 503 errors, that’s totally not a DDoS attack—it’s just completely normal behavior. 🙂
Matija Babić and the owner of Smokve handled that pretty effectively; maybe Anderson should take some notes from them. 🤷
Amy Morgan2 said:Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up some of that dreadful Canadian Unicum drink around here? Or am I going to have to drive all the way over to Canada to find it?
At Total Wine—just like pretty much any other niche liquor.
Maybe try marketing some rubber inventory specifically to bars.
I heard from a few reliable sources that out in those rural parts of the Midwest—you know, the real heartland—it’s practically tradition for the local ranch hands to get rowdy every weekend and absolutely wreck the glassware at the local dive bars. Owners would probably jump at the chance for something made of rubber.
Is it just me, or is it actually a good thing when the post count starts dropping? I mean, isn't it way more effective to build a reputation with maybe 2 or 3 quality posts rather than grinding through 20k? 😁
Or even worse—having nearly 60k posts, like some people here, without ever having written a single memorable sentence.
This whole thread feels pretty bizarre to me. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having a third of the posts I have right now—I don't really see the point 🤷
Besides, I always had the impression that Olivia Moore51 was a perfectly decent, mature lady who surely preferred quality over quantity—both in life and here on the forum. Clearly, I misread the situation 🤷
The issue here is that you don't just "have" a 40-year-old whisky—that term refers to liquid that has actually spent four decades maturing in a barrel. And yeah, once you get into that territory, we're talking about bottles that can easily run you thousands of dollars.
Now, sure, if someone specifically collects 40-year-old bottles, you might find a buyer, but I haven't exactly heard of people treating that as a mainstream hobby. It’s much more likely you just miscalculated your budget. 🙂
Whisky matures in the barrel, not the bottle—any liquid that’s just been sitting in glass for 35 or 50 years isn't gaining anything; if anything, it might actually be worth less than a fresh pour. So, unless yours has completely evaporated, you're looking at something worth roughly $33.
Melissa Castillo said:You guys 🙄 🤣 Go ahead—explain to me where the thrill is in 🤷?
Think back to a moment—maybe when you spent days obsessing over a project just to get it perfect, sketching away, spilling coffee all over your blueprints, wandering around like some tortured poet lost in your own head. Remember that feeling when it finally clicked and you experienced a total, cosmic rush of dopamine 😁 Now compare that to a slingshot and a half-broken glass bottle 🤷 Kontash?
What kind of logic is that?
By that same reasoning, I could bring up anything—sports, sex, whatever—and claim that because one feels better than the other, they’re somehow comparable. 🤷
They are completely unrelated things; there's zero sense in pitting them against each other. Back then, besides getting into trouble, I was busy playing tennis, building amplifiers from scratch, coding, reading books. Everything had its own way of being fun.
Is there anything more fittingly dramatic than "Götterdämmerung"? It’s such an intense way to describe a total collapse—a literal twilight of the gods. Honestly, sometimes it feels like that's the only word left in the dictionary for the chaos we're watching unfold lately. Is it just me, or does everything feel like it's teetering on the edge of some grand, operatic disaster? kaže: I'd much rather actually get something done. 🤷 Destruction is just exhausting—and honestly, compared to actually creating something? It’s not even remotely satisfying. 🤷
I’ve always found both sides of this pretty entertaining. There was something about that demolition phase—around age 11 to 14—that just hit different. If my memory serves me right, I managed to tear apart two houses before they were actually leveled, scavenged maybe two or three cars for parts, and left a trail of broken TVs, washing machines, streetlights, and hundreds of glass bottles in my wake. 🤔
The local transients didn't have much to scavenge from all that massive pile of trash over in my neighborhood. 😬
The whole Nescafe situation is honestly laughable. Instant powders like Nescafe and its ilk are basically relics from an era when actual fruit juices or even a Coca-Cola were too pricey for daily consumption. Sure, it might have a bright future if the government completely falls apart after the next crisis—powdered goods are great for the apocalypse, right? But the bottled stuff they sell over in $4.00? It doesn't stand a chance.
I’d actually be quite curious to see the sales figures for this particular masterpiece of American brand management. 🙂
goldenpilot15 said:I used to think I was aiming for modest, attainable goals—nothing crazy. But then I realized my actual ambitions are a bit more... let's say, ambitious. If we're talking about impossible dreams? Yeah, I’d like to rule the world. Is that too much to ask?👍 As for some of my more... let's call them "understated" ambitions? I’d love to just wander into the local mall wearing nothing but a bathrobe and slippers. Is that too much to ask?🙂
Aside from my desire to kickstart the Manhattan Project—which, let's be honest, is probably a bit much—everything else on my wish list is actually doable, provided I put in enough work.
Are you actually kidding me right now? You want me to read a book by some quack who makes his living peddling bleach to cancer patients? How is that any different from reading the same kind of nonsense from the crackpots on this forum?
I mean, what if he didn't use that money to fund actual research—you know, legitimate animal testing at a respected institute—and then publish those "revolutionary" findings in an actual peer-reviewed journal?
Oh wait, I forgot—it’s clearly not in anyone's interest to find a cure for cancer. All those millions of scientists and thousands of institutions, universities, and massive corporations like Pfizer or Mayo Clinic are just pretending to look for one. It’s all part of a grand global conspiracy to wipe out 95% of the population after milking them dry with fake remedies first, right?🤣
Recommending you drink something like that just because it kills bacteria is about as logical as telling someone to swap their antibiotics for a shot of whiskey—I mean, sure, alcohol is a decent disinfectant, but we aren't exactly running a clinic here. And if we’re really following that line of reasoning, why stop at bacteria? Why not start prescribing it for cancer or autoimmune disorders too? 🤣
Post number thirteen lists side effects—including inhalation issues—but if you actually look at either that post or the linked page, there isn't a single mention of the specific dosages used in the study.
It’s right there, obviously. Both the site and the documentation list both the maximum allowed dose and the toxic threshold.
granitefox16 said:Would it really be that expensive or weird to run a study specifically on MMS along with whatever activators they mix it with?
The reality is pretty simple—proving it's harmful to your health shouldn't be an issue.
Well, if you had bothered to actually check instead of just talking in circles, you'd see that Google Scholar is loaded with scientific papers on chlorine dioxide. They all confirm it's a powerful oxidant that indiscriminately kills everything in its path, from pathogens to actual body cells—making it useful for nothing more than external disinfection.
