Where is Sprout recently? Is he having a break?

Who is new moderator? I was almost going to apply but I think my infractions would have gone against me hehe. Is it consumer? or is it englandgz? Small town casual? SHM? Or which strange new entity do we have waving the iron fist above us? Stee. I bet it's Stee. If it were up to me, I vote Techno Viking, this place needs more Techno. And vikings.

Not so much a break as a directing of my time towards exam week(s) and assorted non-BL activities for a short while.
If you ever see 300 new posts and three new megathreads I may be back on full speed (or glucose, 7g wankers 8) )!

Capitalism finds a single effective drug with massive profits, prohibits the use of others by others, for the fiscal fortitude of a fortunate few. Chemistry finds every effective and dead-end avenue from a single effective drug, publishes results in peer-reviewed journals over profit-seeking patents, for the scientific curiosity of the passionate few.

How tragically predictable that in the 21st century it is the politicians and their glass house, forged from the fine dusty sand termed the "people of the working class" scraped from the bottom of the bureaucratic boot, who play the marionette of modern chemists.
 
big pharma has to pubilsh their results for peer review aswell - but only once they have patented their intellectual property obviously.

see vioxx scandal for how big pharma abuses science for capital gains though.....

also chemistry tends to be behind the development of patented medicines that make it thru clinical trials ;) aswell as hundreds/thousands that don't.

big pharma has to recover R&D costs so they will maximise the profit potential of patents of medicines that do make it to market even if it means denying access to an effective new treatment to vast swathes of the global population, in contravention of their human rights.

Fuck capitalism & corruption.
 
Talking of rofecoxib I worked for Searle in the mid 90s when they pioneered cox2 inhibitors and they spent literally millions and millions on "research" to show how safe it was and how it would revolutionise the treatment of artritis...

Only it turned out they were full of shit unfortunately......

the amount of scandals like this out there is shocking, for all kinds of medicines, also the payouts from lawsuits arising out of them shows just how guilty they are in most of these cases too.

if only we lived in a world where money wasn't the prime objective. Horrifies me to think of the people suffering for years and years due to patent protectionism and selective funding / R&D choices into which kinds of medicines to develop in the first place.

it's no wonder a lot of conspiracy theories develop around these issues - especially when the truth can be stranger than the fiction.
 
G's feeling a bit poorly tonight...Gonna go to bed for an early night I think...

Id give my right fucking arm not to have to go to work tomorrow and have to deal with all that bollocks....

And I think I lost a twenty spot out of my pocket when I went to the shops earlier....

Oh woe is me....:(
 
Good evening all!

Been struck down with the flu so I decided that playing the sims would somehow make this all better. I just hope I don't get sucked in.
 
whats everyone up to? High as a kite here on some ketama Hash and some beautiful tangerine dream. Feel like a kid in a sweet shop %)

starting to get that feeling summer is coming. Weather is better people are more more cheerful :)
 
Supposedly going to be 25 degrees in London this weekend....

Unfortunately I don't live in London so therefore don't give a fuck...

Must put this phone away and go to bed. Got to be up early too. This working for a living thing isn't at all what it's cracked up to be....

I don't know the apt description of what I'm up to but it certainly doesn't involve possessing, enjoying, or ever having heard of 'ketama hash' :|

Around this time of year, someone tends to herald a forthcoming 'heatwave' to me at least 3 times a week.
 
Ketama, which amusingly comes out as Kerala on spellcheck, is the main dope growing region of Morocco that supplies roughly 70% of the worlds hashish. If you haven't heard of it, I still guarantee you've smoked it.
 
It's approaching two hours since that post - have you been sucked in?

Not quite! I stopped playing for a while! No slacker sims for me. I always use stupid cheats so they can be the best at everything quickly!

No way, mate. My dealers have always assured me that I was buying the best Afghan or Lebanese hash :p

True and in various forms seems to be black Moroccan, blonde, soft press, flat press. A lot of the hash of Moroccan descent is of bubbling quality these days too, as the methods of production have advanced over the last 10-20 years. Hard pushed to say that about much of the black you see in the UK, good Nepalese but Afghan and charas are usually bullshit.
 
I've never once got nice bubbling hash from a local dealer. The only times I've been treated to it is from friends coming back from either Barcelona or Amsterdam.
