Heating/boiling also burns off the "impurities".
That's pretty funny to me.

Definitely!!

BTW I only know about some of that stuff from my work duties. My brother and I never spoke of his ingestion methods.

The heat liquifies the heroin so it can be pulled into the syringe for intravenous delivery. The spoon is metal much like a pot/pan you'd use on the stove top but much smaller so you don't liquify more than you'd use right away in the syringe. Can't waste the good shit. Plus, it's handier to have a spoon and lighter (heat source) on you than a stove. The glassine bags are for distributing the drugs into bundles/bricks for consistent distribution weights. Depends on the glassine bag size too. Glassine bags = bundles = bricks.

I already knew that.

Can you explain how electricity works ?

Philbo asked so that's the answer he got from me. If you can make it sound better, please do, as I'm obviously no scientist.

That sounds like wishful thinking.

You're welcome, Senor.

I think so too.
I've heard a few times from some people.
I think it tells me more of those people than being true.

Current, please.....and in laymans' terms.

I have to turn off the breaker before switching out a light switch. Electricity and me do not get along.

That's not a horrible idea. It depends on the person. I know some people who will do it with the lines hot, but many opt to kill the breaker first.

Of course, there are people out there working on computers and using the ESD straps... I can't remember the last time I used one and I get a chuckle when I see someone using one (I'm not talking about working on the space shuttle electronics, just someone installing a CD drive)

Lots of people, many more in fact, die of prescription drug over doses--most of which are opiates like heroin. No sympathy there either?

I know too many dead skydivers and BASE jumpers not to equate it with overdoses. Most of us don't won't to die either but have some fucking compassion when a skydiver with 20 years goes in.

So you're saying it's no longer acceptable to stand next to your buddy with a 2x4 or a wooden baseball bat when they're working with the electric? You should really flip the breaker to OFF? No fun.

[davjohns 1]

So, you're thinking something along the lines of:

Hey! Are you ok? All I know is something over here made sparks and you fell back and hit your head. You were out a couple of minutes. Bat? What bat?

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

[davjohns 1]

Mixed emotions about drug abuse.

I don't think they made a conscious decision to become a junkie, alcoholic, etc. They just made some bad decisions. Who hasn't? Some were likely susceptible to drug addiction because of mental / emotional problems. Many addicts are actually self-medicating for underlying issues that aren't addictive personality. I am very sympathetic to that part of the issue.

Conversely, some people are rolling in their addiction and expect others to adjust, pay the bill, etc. No sympathy for that.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

In the army SATCOM school they teach us that. We weren't allowed to be wearing any jewelry (rings, watches or necklaces) while working on equipment. If it was a high voltage system, you should have a safety there with a 2x4 to 'persuade' your grip to release in the event of electrical shock.

Since I live alone and not usually someone around with a 2x4, I usually opt for the breaker off idea.

Direct or alternating?

With direct current you only need one baseball bat; with alternating, you need two

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

We are quite sure he's dead, pretty damn sure (pending autopsy) it was due to an OD on illegal drugs, and I find it quite credible that more was found in his apartment.

Last time I checked, Heroin was illegal in all US states and almost all nations.

Do you not empathize with an individual if they died BASE jumping in a National Park? Let's say for instance, Jan Davis.

Does illegality really toggle your empathy subroutine?

Are you confusing BASE with swooping now?
