…and we didn’t really trust it lol.

As you shouldn’t. It was often mixed in a concrete mixer with random plant matter (hopefully at least hemp) and a jar of chemicals from China, then packaged with cool graphics. It was a ridiculously high percentage of the time that what was in the package wasn’t what it was on the label. Per brand you could expect it to be consistent…ish, but it was something like >50% of the time it was not what it said it was.

It was basically whatever analog wasn’t illegal at the time in China was produced then shipped to the US, and the sketch packagers didn’t give a shit what it actually was.

I worked in toxicology, and there wad study on THC and gas-station analog use and driving impairment that was done near a military base. Every time it’s referenced in conferences, the presenter ALWAYS says “if you’re in the military and have illegal drugs in you’re system, it will ruin your life. They also know what drugs and metabolites are tested for, so they make sure it isn’t in their system during random drug tests” *wink-wink*

There was an interestingly large number of people with weird THC-analogs in their system for this study specifically.

Oil, or at least equivalents would be pretty easy to make from raw elements. It’s just random chains and configurations of carbon with hydrogen, toss in some oxygen and nitrogen here and there with some other elements. Wood on the other hand is made from chains of This. It’s so complex and tough that it took 70 million years for something to evolve that could break it down. We think of plastic as lasting forever, but there’s already bacteria and fungi that can break it down, and it even breaks down in sunlight. So in comparison, after about 100 years, something evolved to break down plastic, but it took 700,000x as long for something to evolve to break down wood.

@UniversalRecord@discuss.online I noticed that your sources are the front pages of several space agencies, but no actual articles. The image appears to be an AI generated image of VLA, when there are tons of images available to use. Can you provide some better sources and images in your articles if you’re going to claim the articles are based on fact?

There’s also plenty of beautiful VLA images out there, yet they use this AI trash.

EV charging really isn’t as demanding as you’d think. Most people would be able to charge a couple days of use overnight using the same amount of power as running a space heater.

Sooo maybe you’re right of you live in Texas.
