That's a nice writeup though you may want to avoid plastic containers (sometimes they add things to plastic that can leach into your solvent.) Not really a major concern but glass funnels and beakers are cheap and handy to have. Alchemy was an exact science. It's why alchemists kept exacting...

Get it back into an acidic solution and do a liquid liquid extraction with a non-polar solvent and discard the organic phase. That should help pull some of the crap that's been left over. You might want to go ahead and just do the rest of a proper acid base extraction. (Basify the aqueous phase...

GBL -> GHB is about as simple as it gets for drug synthesis. The chemicals are readily available (if you follow Chromics writeup from back in the day you just need γ-butyrolactone, water and baking soda though it gets slightly more involved if you go with his writeup that starts at GABA...

Personally I would go with an HPS if I could only get one bulb but you should be able to give growing a shot if you are stuck with MH throughout the grow. I'm not sure how big your grow area is so I'm not sure how appropriate a 400w bulb will be but again you should be able to get off the...

After seeing how Ythan likes to retain and then publicly post privacy compromising information I won't even be looking over the teks on the site anymore. Ythan is either an asshole who is one step away from blackmailing people he doesn't like or a complete fucking moron. Either way I wouldn't...

Until computers start getting dedicated hardware to do virus scanning (IIRC this has been discussed for years but has gone nowhere) then the task is going to inevitably fall on your CPU. I don't like Microsoft Security Essentials simply because most malware I've fucked around with has no...

Even if it is 5ft is unusually tall for an autoflower, methinks it's actually a photoperiod plant that is still in veg. It could be male though.

Another year has come and gone with it another Chaos Communication Congress. For those of you who don't know the CCC is an annual hacker conference held in Germany. Luckily for me many of the talks are in English. Videos of the talk have been trickling onto youtube and I wanted to highlight...

Most AIOs don't come with video outputs (or more correctly the video output is just wired into the monitor.) I guess there are usb graphics cards but nothing about that sounds like a good idea to me. Some TVs support VGA and it's a nice feature to have.

1: Play "Global Thermonuclear War" 2: Play chess if there is time before the impending apocalypse In all seriousness I'd just sellout to the highest bidder because with the growing wealth gap and low social mobility in the country you have to take what opportunities present themselves. I...

Eww... it's got windows allover it. Hell I've used a cheap netbook with a single core atom processor and crappy integrated Intel graphics as a basic media center (no high bit-rate stuff.) I'm not a fan of the fact that the graphics are integrated and used shared memory but as long as you...

What is the big deal? They are making it possible for students to apply for approval of uniform modifications that the Army has allowed under an act passed almost a decade ago. If someone who wants to be a soldier (I'm assuming that's why kids join JROTC) is going to get comfort out of wearing a...

One of the minds behind recaptcha recently gave a talk at TEDxCMU about an interesting new project. Duolingo hopes to address the problem of translating the large body of web content into other languages. They also hope to make learning foreign languages accessible to people who can't afford...

Small quantity or not the US will view this as a serious crime. You are talking about risking your continued freedom for a gram of weed. Majorly bad idea, especially considering how bad the incarcerations facilities are getting (thanks privatization!)

THC dissolves fairly well in alcohol, it's flammable, and there is a generous tax on drinkable ethanol. THC is far less soluble in water, is not flammable, and water is cheap to free. Water is the superior medium for separating the trichomes. Ice-water extraction works because the trichomes are...

If you don't mind me asking what's your thinking with holding Microsoft. They have been floating at $25 for at least a year and I just don't see where the growth is going to come from. Cellphones (Ipad is just a big cellphone for the sake of discussion) are the future* and Microsoft has never...

Why hope when you can fight back. Call your representative and get as many people as you can to do the same.

I've censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet--a bill that could pass THIS WEEK. To see the uncensored text, and to stop internet censorship, visit: http://americancensorship.org/posts/10120/uncensor As...

The biggest problem I see is the indefinite part of it. Proper lab analysis is getting harder to beat by the day and even the on the spot tests are getting more advanced. You may find a solution that works against the particular testing method used by your employer but that solution will likely...

I'm with NoDrama. I see no good reason to assume the president of VTech could prevent this. Oh I am sorry maybe they should have used their magic goggles to see into the shooters mind and divine his intentions. They have barely even idenfied the body of the shooter and you are jumping to...
