A MASSIVE capacitor bank, a semiconductor fabrication setup.

3D-printer that can print in titanium.

Lots and lots and lots and lots more glassware. Turbomolecular vacuum pumps x2, a spare standard vac pump, and I'd go on a long and extensive shopping spree with my chemical suppliers, buying out most of her stock.

A kilo of dipropionylmorphine. Some pethidine, an opioid I've always wanted to try.

^In my experience, pethidine made me feel nauseous but morphine was fine.

opioids have a paradoxical effect. they cancel out any stimulants i have taken and thus i risk getting hyper.

A house in Oia in Santorini. Up high so I could watch the sunset over the Mediterranean
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Perhaps because pethidine has additional dopaminergic effects, ren. Plus its metabolite, norpethidine is toxic,in an excitatory, proconvulsant manner.

Still, its in my top three opioids I'd want to try, along with dipipanone and ketobemidone. And as a runner-up, levorphanol, which has additional NMDA antagonist (dissociative, hopefully) properties. Dipipanone sounds like it might be especially appealing, as an analog of methadone, another opioid with (in methadones case albeit moderately and only becoming apparent at higher doses, such as require a pre-existing tolerance to tolerate sufficient levels for those secondary effects to become apparent)

Dipipanone is very seldom prescribed here anymore, but has one hell of a reputation, enough to make it worth my considering for a future project once I get the current lot off my plate, so to speak.

  An hour of Bryan Cranston's and Aaron Paul's time, to hang out with them and watch them being buddies. :heart:

Ren-I'd love to switch my breakthrough pain med to pethidine or indeed any opioid bar the really weak ones or meptazinol (rips my  insides to shreds OW OW OWWWWW!)  I really, really do NOT get why oxycontin etc is so sought after in the US. Yes, I'd sooner have OC80s than experience physical morphine withdrawal, but duration aside i'd sooner have codeine, even.
