The EADD old farts nostalgia thread!

i remember buying my first bottle od A Nitrate in kensington market - having a massive hit then falling in to a magazine rack and running/falling over crawling away ....oh the fun we had. When I use to go to Trade in London there were dozens of bottles on the dance floor being shared - nothing lke rushing on an E and having a blast.
I helped my self to gas n air when my missis had our first - nice but not really my ting.

Blondin, in the name of HR, it was nitrite, not nitrate. The nitrates are administered as pills and dont have the recreational effects of the nitrites. Furthermore, it was likely to have been butyl or isobutyl nitrite - unless it was diverted from pharmaceutical sources. :)
 
Can we get back to the Amiga vs every other computer argument please? Poppers just give me headache & a yellow/green blob in my vision.

Even Atari STs were better & they sucked.
 
meh computers just boxes full of magicical stuff..... @fubar this was in 81 or so - it were poppers nitrite, trate or owt, worked .
TRemember once we spilled a bottle and I had the bright idea of shutting the door to a fairly small room and blasting a fan heater on to the carpet - a strange 1/2 hour ensued

Oh god, OK... Yes, silicon graphics workstations were THE 3D rendering big boys at the time. What CPU were they built around? The Motorola 68000 series - just like the Amigas and Atari's. In the days of limited memory and raw pricessing power, IBM processors were just too inefficient and power hungry - coupled with poorly optimised code meant the 286 & 386 processors were basically dinosaurs in comparison...

Edit: don't sniff poppers, compared to amyl nitrite they're like PCs compared with amigas... ;).
 
Does anyone remember Spangles?

PCs of the 80s and 90s were absolutely piss poor for gaming! My PCs were used for "functional"/productivity type stuff (mainly boxing, BBS', burning CDs once cd-r's were released) during that time - if I wanted recreational fun stuff I'd use an amiga/c64/snes/md.
 
that would have been off base, if i did it. but i didn't.

fubar corrects you, he's not a pedant. i correct you, i'm a pedant. ok. if one person reads my post and double checks what theyre sourcing, i can live with being labelled a pedant :)

I didn't say you shouldn't have corrected me...its the tone of the post and how the message is delivered that rubs people up the wrong way.

Realistically one person getting a letter wrong isn't going to cause harm to anyone taking poppers as nitrate and nitrite are two different substances.....people who buy poppers arnt exactly going to go into the head shopnand say ..."no damn it....I don't want amyl nitrite ...I want a completely different chemical that you don't actually sell"...yet some clown stating that injecting pills IM is COMETELY safe and couldn't cause any medical problems even if you went out of your way to try and cause one is just let go without a word (except by me).....

Harm reduction.... Hmmm yeah OK :)

exactly.

two wrongs never make a right.

If you crane your neck back really far an look up to the sky you might spot my point flying straight over your head :)

Just to reiterate a minor spelling mistake involving two chemicals where probably 90%+ of people wouldn't even realise the mistake and if they did it wouldn't matter as the chemical name stated is a different substance and very hard to obtain whereas the one I should have wrote is ubiquitous and people know what poppers are and went going to start searching out some totally different hard to obtain substance on the basis of a spelling mistake.....contrast the blatantly harmful and unambiguous advice that could cause serious injury or death is completely overlooked and ignored.

I know you have a 'thing' about correcting people and telling people off .....SIEMS? perhaps? (self important ex-mod syndrome).... I just made that up :)

Seriously though surely even you can see the context of my minor faux pa versus some of the quite breathtakingly harmfull and dangerous 'advice' that passes without a word said?

I give up...this place can be so exasperating at times......
 
Actually, in the same modern + trendy terminology that brought you "ethanoate" instead of "acetate", it's not "nitrate" and "nitrite", but "nitrate (V)" and "nitrate (III)" (the Roman numeral referring to the oxidation state of the Nitrogen atom). But if you asked for "pentyl nitrate (III)" they probably might look at you a bit funny.

Whether or not laws written using chemical names that aren't the latest IUPAC preferred names (that only recently-trained chemists are likely to know) is another matter .....
 
Been a long while, EDD.

Still got the red and blue pill albums somewhere (what happened to andythetwig?)

Nice to see some old heads in here :D

Iv got off the old "drugs" myself, just copious ganja consumption for myself now. Dont even drink anymore. What a disgrace eh...

Anyone know what happened to hedonistic angel? Hope shes still around somewhere!

Great to see felix still in here, and did i see SHM somewhere?

Hope you're all well, loads of love!
