    does it even need to be asked? We've done several thousand years without electronic gadgets, over the past five decades they've all but destroyed society. Look around you next time you take the bus to work. Wall to wall schoolkids not talking to each other - they're chucking texts on phablets and not even looking at each other or the open manhole they're about to fall down, and they can't hear you laughing your arse off as they do a cartoon drop 'cos they're channelling - literally, channelling, through Skullcandies - Skrillex.

    Am I just getting old or are kids these days even more ignorant than I was in 1985 with my bright orange Sony cans that you COULD hear traffic over?

    we produce opioid peptides (endorphines) in our liver, which bind to opioid receptors. Morphine is simply very pure endorphine. On speed. Out of a needle. Other natural sources for opioid peptides include gluten in cereals, mammalian casein, soybean, and spinach. The gene for human endorphine was isolated and sequenced in 1982.

    AKA "Big pHarma" (yes, I did that deliberately), what about those who actually need the chemical yet are priced out or legaled out due to BP's greed and the terminal myopia of the legislature? Don't they get to grow their own?

    I grow my own elder and willow, you get some amazing stuff out of those. Including a form of aspirin out of the willow bark that doesn't cause my throat to close.

    it was more swarf than filings-grade, the fuel filter was shredded. Lab-grade filings will slime in the filter and simply block it, forcing any fuel that does get past to do so by bypassing the screen. Either way, such particulate contamination will get into the entire fuel system eventually and *can* blow the valves.

    I think a more appropriate term would be "entrapment"?

    As in, to borrow the official definition of "entrapment"; to entice a person to do something he would not normally think of doing.

    As an example, would you think to buy a branded painkiller for those tense, nervous headaches because they promise to work in ten minutes according to the ad? Or would you instead just run to the convenience store and buy the blue brand because it's one fifth the price and made of exactly the same chemicals? Plain white packaging with a blue stripe, or solid bright yellow with image of hot woman on the front next to big red letters spelling out "ANADIN"?

    Would you run to McDonald's for a Happy Meal when you're hungry? Or do you run to the local indie sandwich bar and buy something that's fresh, made in front of you and doesn't taste of cardboard and rat piss?

    Sounds like they're getting contaminated fuel. Happened to me way back when you could go out for a drive without worrying about how much it was going to hurt your wallet to tank up.
