I never should have opened my mouth about Kush. Not that it would have changed anything for more than half a day, anyway; nobody can shutup about him... Stop stealing all of his gear before I get the coins to purchase all of it in one magical order and keep it all to myself. Damned vultures, every last one of you... I'd consider baking a cake or something neighborly like that and having you all over to share, but... well, kind of undermines that whole anonymity angle. Ah well.Tpebop, it's cool that you wanted to help out a fellow tweaker and all, but I'd be shocked if they didn't have records of every geographical location that phone was ever turned on at -- including coordinates with enough accuracy to know where the phone "lived", I'll bet. I know I go a little overboard sometimes, but hey, it's kept me from a single arrest so far: in my mind, if SE ever turned the thing on in his house, methinks it's time to go very, very far away from there. And pray it wasn't his name on the lease (yeah, that's awfully likely...)Sickgirl: that sounds bad. I mean really worrisome -- I hope you aren't tasting copper because you're putting trace amounts of heavy metal right into your organs. Coppery metal or just... kind of... well I don't know how copper would taste like copper but not metal, so yeah, forget that question, lol.You mention making your own I2 -- are you doing the I2/RP/H20 thing? Or did you mean something other than iodine? If you're scraping matchbooks or something for the RP, they have all kinds of nastiness in them -- glass, sulfur, glue; maybe there's magnesium in there too, I dunno. I can't think of any other source of metal in that cook, but the same disclaimer as always still applies: I haven't actually studied any of this stuff since I entertained the notion of becoming a master cookery-chefery-chemistry guy. If you're actually using lithium or aluminum or whatever alkaline metal you found for the Leuckhart (fuck, is that the birch? w/e, I'll never remember those names) synth, you could have some left over. Are you just taking the honey and dumping shotglasses of hydrochloric in it to get your product quick & easy, or taking the time to extract/wash/isolate it well and eventually recrystallize for purity?... in short, I can't think of ever reading anyone talk about tasting copper. But anything that I don't think will ever apply to me I tend to skip over with abandon, and I don't plan on ever knowing what it feels like to IV. So I dunno. If you don't already have them, you could poke around the rips of the hive and rhodium's site next time you're nice and tweaked. I know I've got either a source for them or the archives themselves about somewhere. That may be all the help I can give, personally.
