Bute is a shining example of the failures of drug policy. GHB is, aside from having a low therapeutic index and being contraindicated with alcohol, not very dangerous as far as drugs go. In a better context, especially one in which concentrations were known and manufacture required the addition of say a dye and a bitterant to help prevent date rape it would have been much less harmful.

Bute (which is metabolised to ghb) is diverted from industrial sources, which increases risk of contam. The metabolic delay causes people to redose and then OD, and it's harder on the body because of liver metabolism. Because of it's valid use in industry in large quantities it's almost impossible to control.

Yay, good work. Such winning. Saving so many lives. I love ODs and organised crime.

exhausting your vote might be bad depending on your seat.

Also be careful with some minors. There are a lot that are essentially just the LNP or worse.

Yeah I've seen him called that and I enjoy copying it. To be fair to him, which is easy since there's so little to defend, he's not a Nazi. He is a racist fascist though, so we're wading into the phylogeny of idiot ideologies for evil morons to mark out the differences.

Dirty to pull this out now. If it works, if there really is a smoking gun then this is masterful politicking. If it backfires it'll be another classic second term labor foot-gun.

The LNP under "90s Queensland police are too kind and understanding to aboriginal kids" kipfler can't be handed the reigns of government. Australia will take decades to recover if it ever does.

Hi, Aussie here. Entirely expected and unsurprising. I mean Hitler learned from the USA.

Been watching the usa destroy everything nice about Australia for my entire life and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Good luck, please don't our government again if we elect another socialist.

Those prelubed long grey fingers just do it for me mate.

All the blokes I've met that are happy in love are just gentle and respectful, especially of consent.

Turns out, and I know this is a shocker, we're not fucking aliens we just want to be treated as equally valuable and interesting people.

Non vegans at least have the excuse of being deeply indoctrinated, and having 90+ percent of people reenforcing and defending their behaviour. The ultra rich dont.

Was talking about the Paris commune in particular, the national assembly is an example of where rich people fall. Rather than share bread they'll install fascist military dictatorships.

Keeping people in a cage is crueler and riskier than just killing them. If anyone voluntarily gives up their wealth and power I'm all for forgiveness, I've never seen it happen but even serial killers have voluntarily turned themselves in and sought help.

I don't think you quite grasp just how far gone the rich are.

Intervention for people falling down into the propaganda? Sure. Once you declare yourself the enemy of almost the entire human species idk how much tolerance you deserve.

You don't accidentally decide that killing everyone who isn't a straight white cis man or a subserviant straight white cis woman is a good and worthy goal.

Like I don't care how lonely you are, that's fucked. Join a stitch and bitch don't plan a race war.

It's absolutely not 0, people constantly try non violent means of renegotiating social relations and get nowhere, in fact they usually get executed for the trouble. Revolutions have left people alive and they consistently side with counterrevolutionary forces and violently crush anyone attempting to improve equality.

I mean french revolution says hello? The worst that can happen is they scuttle off, rouse reactionary forces, and violently oppress billions again. Which they have consistently done no matter how attractive the proposed alternatives have been.

Also people who aren't vegan and have encountered the idea also suck, so that isn't exactly making your point.

[–] NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 4 points 4 months ago (5 children)

I'm not getting into this. The rich willfully demonstrate every single day they are more intentionally anti-social than the most psychotic serial killers. They are pure aberrations, utterly remorseless, completely without empathy. They happily commit mass murder with the wave of a pen again and again, they are engaged in active omnicide. Literally they are actively killing entire ecosystems to avoid a life of staggering luxury vs a life of unimaginable luxury.

Nobody has ever demonstrated an effective treatment for such a disordered mind.

Scandanavia doesn't rehab billionaires lmao.

 

I thought this article was interesting, in that I am immediately suspicious of the motives of some of people quoted. The conclusion runs counter to what I want to be true, and I'm curious what other people make of it.

Also men: Do you actually feel attacked? I'm not sure I've ever seen someone criticised for like being strong and capable, or a good carpenter, or a protective dad or whatever. Is this a real thing? or just something that is used as cover like the traditional values vs violent misogyny terminology.

P.S. Thinking there are hordes of ravenous cancellers waiting in the wings is extremely funny to me. Not exactly beating the allegations that listening to Jo Rogan damages your perception of reality.

 
 

Interesting and rather tragic.

The part about supressing the cause of death was especially gutwrenching. Silencing hurt people out of fear of encouraging nutters is a horrible thing to do.

 

Sure looks like the sort of life-or-death scenario that possibly justifies deploying a torture device from that cctv footage.

 

There's uselessly tiny gem fragments in them thar ancient alluvial gravel beds.

Model is bought from: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/gold-sluice-box-v2-modular-expandible-included-4-mats-classifier although easy enough to design yourself. It works great though and the price is fair if you do want one.

Sluice body is petg, mats are tpu as I thought it would make cleaning easier. TBH petg would probably be a better candidate as long as you did a high contrast material. The flex doesn't add much as it's short sections that fit in a pan anyway.

 

Interesting, certainly runs counter to prevailing narrative.

I've sent them an email to ask for clarity and will update with their response.

Having a read of the food labeling standards (https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/food-standards-code/legislation) 1.2.2, 2.4, and schedule 10-2 any edible oil is only required to be identified as follows:

(a) The statement of ingredients must declare:

(i) whether the source is animal or vegetable; and

if the food is a dairy product, including ice cream—the specific source of animal fats or oils.

(b) This generic name must not be used for >diacylglycerol oil.

As such it turns out anything labelled as vegetable oil could contain palm oil, which is relatively likely given it's ~36% of global oil trade and the number 1 producer. https://ourworldindata.org/palm-oil

So I recommend that unless you have specific knowledge, if anything has a thick texture at room temp and claims not to be hydrogenated you should assume it is palm oil. Especially if it's quite low in saturated and polyunsaturated fats which is a bit of a coconut oil tell.

RIP to a delicious one.

nutlex responds: Thank you for contacting us here at Nuttelex and sorry for the late reply as we have been experiencing a glitch with our website.

As a family-owned business, we value your interest in our products.

The main ingredient in our Nuttelex products is premium GMO-free plant oils and depending on the variant (as denoted by the packaging) that can include a combination of Sunflower, Canola, Coconut, and Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.

To manufacture our product the basic steps are as follows: The pure plant oils are warmed to around 40 degrees Celsius, then mixed together with brine (a water and salt mixture) and a very small amount of vitamins, natural flavour and vegetable oil based emulsifier. The total mixture is then rapidly cooled and packed into the tubs that you buy at the supermarket.

With 70% less saturated fat than butter and 50% less salt than regular spreads we work very hard to maintain the integrity of our products and we do pay more for ingredients to ensure we produce a premium product.

There are only a few oils that can be used to make our spreads. Oils like Olive, Coconut and Avocado cannot be used in very high quantities without the addition of binding agents, preservatives, and additives — and we choose not to use these types of ingredients at Nuttelex.

So instead, each Nuttelex variant uses a different combination of GM free vegetable oils, as reflected in the name or image on the product.

In Nuttelex Buttery, the oils used are GM free Australian Canola Oil and certified sustainable palm fruit oil.

In Nuttelex Olive, for example, the oils used are Australian GM Olive Oil, Australian GM free Canola Oil (which adds to the texture & taste) and certified sustainable palm fruit oil (to make the product spreadable). Without the addition of these two ingredients, our spread would remain a liquid as we do not use saturated animal fats, milk solids, soy solids or anything artificial. As we make this blend up ourselves, in line with labelling regulations we must declare it as “vegetable oil” on the label. Unfortunately, we cannot share the oil percentages as it is priority company information as that would reveal our recipe.

In Nuttelex Original, the oils used are GM free Sunflower oil, Australian Canola Oil (which adds to the texture & taste) and certified

sustainable palm fruit oil (to make the product spreadable).

Although we keep up to date with advances in food technology, as yet there are no other oils that we are aware of that will meet our special needs: virtually trans-fat free, GM free, vegan, and free from a wide variety of allergens including gluten, corn, soy, wheat, nut oils and dairy.

Food technology is not perhaps as advanced as you may think, and to make a natural table spread there are not many oils that can be used. As Nuttelex is not only allergy friendly but free of preservatives and additives. Olive oil too can only be used up to 24% (and that goes for every Olive spread in the market) or the spread will not set, while other oils such as coconut are unstable on their own and do not mix with other oils unless extra processing and additives are used. However, when food technology catches up to enable us to use different oils, greater quantities, without having to also use additives, preservatives, or other processes we deem undesirable, you can be assured Nuttelex will be there to deliver it.

At Nuttelex we know where our ingredients are grown, how they are processed, and we stand by their purity and nutritional value. We have built our business on continually pushing the envelope of what is possible when it comes to creating healthy plant-based foods.

Nuttelex strongly supports sustainable farming and preventing damaging practices. We purchase our vegetable oils from only Australian Members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). And we are also Members of the RSPO as it is the growers and manufacturers who together need to make a sustainable future by certifying that members commit to certain standards of production. (We are registered on the RSPO website where you can see our certificates of what we purchase). We also pay a premium for our sustainable palm oil because we believe that is the responsible approach.

The Healthy Alternative is not just a slogan – it’s been part of our DNA at Nuttelex since our early beginnings. From refusing to add bright colouring to our products in the 1930s (an act of the dairy lobby to distinguish it from butter) to pioneering the use of vitamins in the 1940s, at Nuttelex we have always welcomed new possibilities. Continuing this tradition with the first salt-reduced, cholesterol-free & dairy-free alternative to be sold nationally in the 80’s, to removing all GM ingredients from our spreads in the noughties and more recently, with the introduction of the very first Australian-made palm oil-free spread - Nuttelex Zero.

Hope this information is of help,

I'm a fan of this historian, and this blog post tickled my brain. Hopefully you find it interesting.

 

Where the fuck are we politically when asio is telling the right they're being too xenophobic and hardline?

Fucking asio man, the org that pushed for the "we can hold you and you can't even tell a lawyer it happened" laws.
