Man, this episode brings me back. I grew up in a small town in the deep south. It was my birthday and I was still young enough that my mom invited everybody in my class to the party. While I wasn’t really expecting gifts, I recieved one from a nice boy who had a bit of a white-trashy upbringing.

I unwrapped the present to find an officially branded Spider-Man knife with a sheath styled like his suit plus a display stand that was made to look like Spider-Man’s fist bursting through a wall clutching said knife and holster. I thanked the boy for the bizarre gift, handed the box to my mom and promptly  never saw it again.

I had assumed for the longest time that my mom had simply gotten rid of it because a knife was an inappropriate present for an elementary school-aged kid. I only recently learned that it was because she thought it looked like a statue of Spider-Man’s fist jacking off his own dick wearing its own little penis-sized Spider-Man costume.

As a wildlife rehabilitator, vet medicine is some wild west bullshit. Fishmox is real, but you can buy a lot more than just that. One of the chemicals I see all the time is Dimethyl Sulfoxide, DMSO. It's an organic molecule that's exceedingly effective at penetrating tissues such as skin and taking other molecules with it. On it's own, it's pretty much harmless, but anything that gets mixed into DMSO will go right through your skin with it. Even contaminants from the air, or from other surfaces you touch. People put this stuff on animals with their bare hands, and some even swear by it as alternative medicine.

You know, I was alarmed when I learned EDTA is not only used as alternative medicine but also as a preservative in foods (usually for good reasons!) and not just as a way to treat lead poisoning or just as a lab reagent, but this is beyond that. I'd love to hear more stuff like this

SHERMAN TANKS!!!, February 04, 2019, 11:39:28 am

That's dimethyl sulfide, which is present in both Rolling Rock, and your blood after putting DMSO on your skin. Using DMSO makes your breath smell like garlic or rotting cabbage because of elevated dimethyl sulfide in your blood, which ends up being secreted through your mouth and skin.

Every farm supply store has a section where you can buy veterinary supplies. Scalpels, surgical instruments, syringes, needles, sleeves specifically for reaching into cow rectums, hooks and chains for dragging newborns out, and of course a standard array of medications that are strictly not for humans. The most expensive medications are usually locked in a cabinet, but everything else is probably just on a shelf.

Title: 296: SWORDS!!!
Post by: Mr. Hunky Academia on February 04, 2019, 12:58:16 pm
I want to point out that the steampunk skull sculpture has a name and an elaborate backstory

Voltaire M. Chemskul, Warden of the Vaporworks

His story is as follows: Undeniably brilliant but hopelessly mad, scientist/industrialist Volataire M. Chemskul spent his entire life toiling and tinkering amongst the blazing furnaces, steaming valves and grinding sprockets of his notorious alchemy lab - "the Vaporworks." Day after day he twisted dials, pulled levers and mixed various powders and potions - creating what? No one knew. Often he worked days on end without sleep, driven by a desperate fervor that went well beyond lunacy. Like a rabid dog he labored ceaselessly, locked inside the imposing gray walls of the Vaporworks - a veritable prison of his own design. Resting in the shadow of the Vaporworks is the tiny hamlet of Steamburg. For decades, the townspeople watched acrid steam clouds puff from the Vaporworks' towering smokestacks, yet no one ever witnessed a single soul enter or exit the hulking Vaporworks edifice. Unable to contain their curiosity and fearful suspicions any longer, the good citizens of Steamburg assembled a mob to investigate. When they finally infiltrated the Vaporworks' imposing frame, the party of inquisitors gasped in unified horror. Surely their eyes deceived them! For standing before them, beneath a giant, vapor-belching contraption comprised of gears, dials, vents and mazes of gleaming pipes, was none other than Volataire Chemskul - his skin and flesh conspicuously missing, yet still donning his signature gold goggles and gas mask. Following decades of exposure to hazardous vapor, Chemskul's soft tissue had indeed melted away, and his soot-stained gold gas mask and goggles had fused to his naked cranium. But Chemskul refused to submit to the reaper, and even in death his bony skeleton continues to toil away at the Steamburg Vaporworks, building a mystery that generation after generation of townspeople have yet to discern. Volataire has become a legend, with the fine people of Steamburg declaring him "Warden of the Vaporworks." Honor the legend while dressing up your home or office in a cool steampunk motif - bring home Volataire M. Chemskul today!

Can't get it prescribed to you I guess??

e: BUDK's whole thing seems to be "we will mail you stuff and it's up to YOU to decide if it's legal to receive" so I imagine a lot of their market is people who are going "I wish I could get X but it's procedurally difficult in my jurisdiction"
And I imagine that if they tried doing that with drugs you can render into meth, they'd get in actual trouble, so they stuck with antibiotics.
