Ah... apparently? Checking, anyway. They went out a few times, came back, and then idled around until decommissioned, or whatever the equivalent of it was at the time. Far as folks seem to know they were either broke down or rotted out and subsequently sunk.

Dropfile may be useful, too. Don't need an account at all. Only stores stuff for 24 hours, though, which may or may not be a benefit. Upl.co is like that, too, just with a (much) longer hosting period. I forget exactly what sort of files it's okay with, or what its limits size wise are(n't), though. Is what I use for most image hosting I do, these days.

Aye mart, the tex refineries are kinda' real damn important. Folks are going to feel it way outside texas, and more than just good odds outside the US, too. Ain't just petrol, either... they're one of the world's largest/heaviest/most productive concentrations of chemical refineries as well. Probably more than one industry that's going to see operating costs jack up for the next few months due to those refineries having to shut down/get repaired/rebuilt/etc.

E: Seriously, I'm pretty sure I wasn't exaggerating when I said (either in here or the ameripol thread) harvey has a chance of kicking off a global recession. Greater houston area isn't just a massive economy, it's one that's focused on fairly critical stuff.

Oh. Yeah, that can definitely cause it. Very, very definitely. Spent several months in elementary school basically mainlining headache pills because every afternoon was brain hell. Then glasses, and existence became far less onerous.

Well, apparently among them is the stuff that turns water into hydrochloric acid? Think that was it, anyway. Can't recall if other stuff was mentioned. It's actually probably possible to check, if the place had/has a website.

E: Sorta'. Easiest thing to find seems to just mention it produced liquid organic peroxides, without more details, far as I noticed.

I'm definitely late for an eye exam, yes. Pretty certainly part of it, but it's a thing even when my eye prescription isn't like... two years out of date or something. Mostly cause a eye doc visit + new glasses (or lenses, at least) is rather far from something with no costs, heh. More like at least a hundred USD, possibly two or three depending, far as I can recall from last trip. Definitely less than a brain check, but still kinda' painful. Also some memory junk going on that's been making me regularly forget to do stuff like make an appointment, bleh.

And I'unno SG. I'm fairly sure it's got more to do with some medication I'm on, just getting older, or something along the lines of ADD, if for no other reason than the headache bit's been happening (if to a smaller degree than this last incident) for... probably the better part of a decade. Would think a tumor would have just killed me by now, heh. That particular one was just significantly more intense than it usually is. Less coherent than normal, even for when my head's trying to kill me. Nap's cleared up most of the pain, though I'm also failing a will check and doing the stupid trying to figure out this bloody addon I want to exist, so it may be back soonish.

Do mention it fairly often, but that's mostly because it's been turning me into a fairly inconsistent narrator, such as it is, and I kinda' hate not being clear that some/most of what I'm saying is damnedly likely to be off in some way. It's also personally real goddamn noticeable when three, four years back it was either not happening or notably lesser in impact. Bastard and a half of a thing to regularly be noticing you're having trouble doing shit that was normal just a few years back.

It might not be terribly unusual, though... plenty of people seem to have similar stuff happen without nearly as much distress. Just something I'm pretty sensitive to considering my brain's about all I got worth even a particularly minute damn, these days.

Eh, give it time to saturate, maybe. As you say nenj, different supply chains et al, but given enough time for the ease of one to push the other aside...

That would be an interesting study, yes. I'd expect those to go up, the street dealers have to compensate their lost income somewhere.

Be sorta' interesting to find out if that's even possible, tbh, though. In a scenario where it actually is undercutting the ground level price. Weed tends to be one of the major-ish substances income wise, far as I'm aware. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to find out trying to avoid losses to legal production (assuming it was driving down prices) by upping the price on other stuff would start pricing people out of the market, such as it is, to the extent that's possible when dealing with addictive substances.

... 'course, if it does have that kind of knock-on effect, and it hits the illicit market harder than just the loss of the marijuana income itself, well. Mission accomplished? Kinda' one of the reasons you legalize, to kneecap street distribution on more levels than jut the weed.

E: Though in other news, the FCC's apparently voting on whether or not it fucks the internet, sometime today or tomorrow? Be impressive if they don't, considering the current head's less a person and more a sock puppet worn over the industry's dick.

Heh. That would appear to be the reason I actually got around to joining the forum. First post was confirming/helping to confirm a Z-level bug with indefinitely suspended mid-air stuff, day or so after that release.
