can these things be reflashed?

Manufacturers, knowingly or unknowingly, use commercial-grade PG when making cough syrups to cut costs.

i’d note that there’s zero technical reason why DEG would end up in PG. reaction of water with ethylene oxide gives you ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and higher analogues and these are then separated by distillation. propylene glycol is made from propylene oxide instead, and it’s more expensive than ethylene oxide. diethylene glycol has little use on its own, at least compared to other glycols

however,

The physical properties of diethylene glycol make it an excellent counterfeit for pharmaceutical-grade glycerine (also called glycerol) or propylene glycol

this can be dealt with

After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.

Trains (electric) or pipelines generally won’t, but pipelines aren’t everywhere you need them and trains can’t be used for anything else in this case. Effect is the same: local shortages

this is just high-powered wankery and this article states so:

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and the number of times we’ve had to refer an issue to law enforcement—I have more fingers on one hand,” says James Diggans, vice president of policy and biosecurity at Twist Bioscience, a DNA synthesis company. “The real number of people who are trying to create misuse may be very close to zero.”

tbf chatbots do unintentionally recreate some of the things that gets people hooked to gambling but it’s not enough apparently

so the way i understand it, at first refinery strikes had little impact because other refineries still had slack capacity. but even before that slack capacity was gone, it had a further effect that now fuel was not prepared in places it used to be, so it had to be hauled longer distances. meaning logistics is strained and some fuel is used to haul it, and also now fuel production is more concentrated

at some point that slack capacity was gone and fuel went from not where you need it to not existing at all. there already were shortages in some regions. that and still large demand for fuel for farming caused decrease in exports. there was a refinery that only produces products for export, and its output wouldn’t be directly usable as fuel (they only distilled crude into fractions, still high in sulfur etc) but it was also hit so exports from it don’t matter because these are none

at any rate these developments are on borrowed time because it only takes maybe half year to repair more advanced parts of refinery, so under certain droning intensity they can just roll on. everyone involved knows that, and looks like situation will get worse for russians

oh no, how come my own actions have consequences

and they were fjordmates

aluminum bars, they won’t be able to work it into things like with iron. even if they do, they can’t make more

note to self: hot metal and cold metal look the same

you’re using up enough paracetamol to kill a horse small herd of horses before it goes bad?

i don’t think there are limits on paracetamol, but there are limits on codeine and such, you need ID for that. it’s just that nobody needs this in these amounts

i’m starting to think there’s something wrong with healthcare out there!

americans you have paracetamol pills packed 100 per box? biggest common box out there is 50, and usual 20 per
