Six dollars?

Why have I been paying three hundred for them?

You know, theoretically, it is possible to order the raw pharmaceutical ingredients to make Plan B, in bulk, directly from overseas manufacturers who don't ask too many questions. For three hundred you could order enough raw ingredients to make enough doses that you could measurably alter the birth rate of a small nation state.

Still a more affordable hobby than Warhammer 40k 🤷

Yeah, but you can't play war games with the raw ingredients in plan-b.

Besides, if you spend enough on WH40k, you don't need plan-b

Do you know those ingredients? For science.

A standard dose for Plan B is 1.5 mg levonorgestrel, CAS #797-63-7.

It's in the water Batman! It's in the water!!

Well, I didn't mean it quite that way. But if you want to compound your own Plan B, I looked into it once, and for a few hundred dollars you could make thousands of doses. And the raw active ingredients, if vacuum sealed and stored in a freezer, will last nearly indefinitely.

Sooo... what kind of wood do you normally science?

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Veneer-based mass timber elements!

[–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's actually neat... You ruined my stupid innuendo! Does that kind of processing make the wood stronger than in its natural form? (assuming no defects in either)

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

If you want to imagine the material I work with, imagine really thick plywood.

I do terrible things to wood. My work involves saws, drills, soaking, boiling, firing in ovens, and loading specimens til they crack, break, and buckle.

If you want to associate that with your anatomy, well...you must have some particular fetishes indeed!

Satan needs some cognitive behavioural therapy.

Is that what has happened to Japan?

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No Japan just likes fax machines more than children, which is a completely valid point of view.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Your mistake is not buying them in bulk.

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Where you going? $50 for the name brand where I'm at, $25 generic.
