Dr. Spoon's more credentialed than my washed out academic career; my hating has been defeated by meritocracy!

Not to mention meeting standards of purity and formulating your medication so it's shelf stable and the active pharm ingredient can be distributed within the body effectively once the medicine is administered.

I've had similar thoughts as these jokers but with using bioreactors. Each time I conclude that the solution is a centralized manufacturing facility owned by workers to effectively produce at scale (and ensure you don't poison people).

Sure, you're not gonna build that misoprostol plant in Texas, but there's other options to obtain properly-manufactured medication before you drink a mystery brew cooked up by an anarchist squatter named Spoon.

Absolutely, and I don't see biohackers offering up cheap NMR or MS/MS detectors to solve the common issue of inadvertently making side products like MPTP when attempting to cook up MPPP or whatever, consequently injecting Parkinson's into yourself. So you're still bound by the enormous costs of getting an analytical lab stood up, despite using "AI" assisted synthetic software to substitute for real verification of each purified intermediate product. Also my other chem friend & I think that Vinni guy is an annoying ted-talk dude fwiw.

Very cool that they've published a FOSS version of in-silico synthetic software plus designed a jacketed reactor (much more convenient than babysitting a round bottomed flask in a mantle for 12 hours), but I can't see it getting to very high or even mildy low temps.

I don't see much about cleaning the reactor feedlines or reactant reservoirs, nor how you take a reaction product and work it up, or purify it for that matter, in preparation for the next synthetic step. Classico synthesis traditionally structurally elucidates each step's purified product with NMR before carrying it forward to the next rxn. But I'm a lazy chemist so I'd prefer to program microbes to make things for me (:

Crap, my third eye is getting tired from having to stare at more and more people. I never would have thought Ian McCollum would be the worst from that little InRangeTV clique 5-7 years ago which Deviant is adjacent to

Amuro, use the crotch film!

I started listening to Colonial Outcasts, which feels like a looser version of Eyes Left (incidentially a host of each pod was an army ranger, whatever happened to Spencer Rapaone?). That said an infrequent host (or recurring guest?) Elina Xenophontos follows Jackson Hinkle, so that's a bit 👁️ to me

A ruck full of Soylent instead of Chef Boyardee's

Oh I fully expect that she's dragging me too in kind

Shit sucks, I can commiserate. Last long term relationship I had was with a Tesla engineer that was a Hillary voter & The West Wing fan. Recently I almost considered moving across the country (to Bushwick lmao) for a Bernie volunteer that I began dating shortly before Oct 7 who turned out to be a radlib-y zionist with a temper. That person works as an economist for water, health, & sanitation NGOs and no longer considers themselves on the left.

Our arguments got more and more frequent, with them going so far as to say the Nazis were actually socialist and that a secular 1 state solution would result in Palestinians outbreeding Jewish israelis & upset "israeli democracy". She doesn't want to talk since I dumped her for the above reasons, which tbf, did happen shortly after her dad died, but she was trying to force the issue of me moving in with her just 8 months into the relationship and I didn't have a job lined up.

The New God's Funeral series of his is blowing my mind; it's an amazing analysis of how identity is instrumentalized by capital.

Same, but vaguely employed with a short-term tutoring grift. But hey, I'm 46 episodes away from being current on Death is Just Around the Corner & while everything the host MSJ is saying seems to ring true, it's definitely making things worse (:
