Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells πŸ₯š, seashells 🐚, and pearls πŸ¦ͺ are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

I have no idea whether I can trust these needles I bought on ebay

  • I ordered them on Friday evening, and they arrived on Sunday afternoon, which is weirdly fast for something from ebay?
  • The shipping label had no return address
  • Today I got an email saying my packaged arrived, and the fedex tracking page shows a picture of a completely different package in front of a completely different house. the travel history doesn't show the exact destination address but it's in the same city I'm in.

what does this all mean hypersus

Sounds weird, but if they're individually packaged and it says somewhere they're sterilized, then it's probably fine.

idk about the first two points, but I know the third is common now. They give a fake tracking number because capitalism efficiency. I guess by giving you a number that is already shipping to the same city they can get the ball rolling on getting paid earlier or something. They still ship the product and just expect the customer to not care or notice.

[–] Cadende@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

yeah it's a dropshipper thing, it's easier to just buy access to a tracking number from some data broker that happened to ship about the same time to the same city or zip code than it is to 1) get amazon or ebay or whoever to accept a new type of tracking number, or even 2) actually use a shipping provider that has tracking, and 3) if it doesn't come on time or doesn't show up at all it makes it hard as fuck to dispute since "the tracking shows it was delivered on time"

[–] buh@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

pretty strange, but I guess it makes sense

reminds me of this video (cw: big tech channel https://youtu.be/6NpOw1Onf2I ) in short, maybe this is a scam or maybe it'll show up, there's apparently a lot of nuance to it that is explained i think pretty well in the video even though its about gpus, idk i just work here

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Needles are not otc where you live?

[–] buh@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

tbh I'm not sure. I think they are, but I looked online at all the nearby pharmacies and none of them had the kind of needles I was looking for (1 inch for intramuscular use, all the ones I was finding were 1/4 inch or 1/2 at most).

So I inject with a 8 millimetre 30G insulin needle subq. And it works fine, so you don't need as much length for it to work.
