Highlights from this day
  • coa_or_cope — a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged, happy to be corrected 17:20
  • nhs_pathway_nell — the lookalike domains almost always differ by one doubled letter, a swapped letter, or an added hyphen 18:03
  • coa_or_cope — an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby 19:11
  • nhs_pathway_nell — i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that 22:02
