I you make your own, there is no risk for blindness. Blindness comes from methanol, not ethanol. If you use a yeast based process to produce the alcohol and then distill it, there is no way to accidentally produce methanol in that process. The cases where people get blind or die from moonshine stems from when the feds replaced moonshine with methanol to be able to make that claim and disrupt the business of organized crime during the prohibition. There are still cases now and then where people try to make drinkable alcohol from some industrial base and don't know how to.

TLDR: Don't buy, make.

Intresting. With a no delay fuse, you'd have to have the can as close to the opening as possible, otherwise it'll go off without direct line of sight to the ~~victim~~ pranked and they might ~~survive~~ not fully appreciate the joke.

You are all wrong of course. This is a truck.

As others has commented as well, this is just ripples. Trump is so thoroughly corrupt and bought this doesn't even register. If you're a strong man dictator, you don't even have to buy him, he's free to play. I think what the money is starting to realize is that he won't reliably stay bought and is unpredictable because of it. Even Putin had to brake the spy manual rules and very visibly have the handlers meet him much more frequently and openly for such a high visibility asset. But as this is Trump, the rules do not apply.

As for the money, they aren't really used to this way of operating and since it is literally impossible to keep Trump on script they get very nervous about what he'll say if they get on his bad side or even by accident through his less than coherent ramblings. It is not easy dealing with a petulant, half senile old crook with the demeanor and attention span of a coked up five year old that always gets his way. Everyone with half a brain that have spent time with him knows this. The look on that reporters' face when he was handed that crayon painting tells the whole story. I guess the people that voted for him get that look all the time and believe it is something positive? They mistake a tired "sure, buddy, whatever you say" as actual agreement?

What is positive is that the money seem to have gotten the message by now and they are slowly edging away from Trump. Without being too obvious, of course, bets needs to be hedged. The number of news pieces without unabashedly obvious Trump/Republican spin has slowly increased lately. This has nothing to do with any reporters suddenly growing a brain of course, it is all mandated from above. The money got the message that Trump is bad for business and they are acting on it.

That's my take and I'm not known for having a positive outlook on current events. Still very much not a fan of what the atrocity helpers of the dems are doing. It is arguably even worse when you consider that they aren't halfwits like Trump and presumably actually know what they are doing and still aid an actual fucking genocide that wouldn't even be possible without US help. Despicable.

Go right ahead. I don't want them anymore. Be a bit hard to explain at the ER. Ballus Spontanious Explodicus isn't covered at med school I don't think. Not sure, doc, they just sort of exploded, you know? Isn't that always the case? No, no replacement testosterone please, I'll manage. Just stem the bleeding and I'll be out of your hair. What was that? Psyche eval? Nah, I'm fine. Really I am. No need for that.

It might sting a little, but it'll be worth it. Do it now, before I lose my courage. I can always say I had an accident and fell on the lubed up light bulb and it sort of got stuck up there. Then my balls exploded as well. Talk about unlucky.

I personally think it's a great idea, but you're gonna get a lot of pushback from petrol purists, especially if you do it on something rare. Maybe don't do it on a Ferrari GT250 for example because you will get murdered. I like to emphasize that this isn't a threat from me, it's a warning to be careful. I'd actually love to see the reactions. From a safe distance of course.

I mean, why not? It's a great way to keep something old and loved going in a more useful and environmentally friendly way. Go for it.

Yeah, I haven't read the study of course. Only read about it. Which makes the claim above even more dubious. But hey, this is the future, who has the time to fact check anymore?
