Thanks for the encouraging words, because this is making me feel very stupid. It's still saying 11 days, which is strange, because it said 11 days yesterday. But maybe it's better I just start with $15 so I can figure out how this works. WHERE do I copy my wallet address into Coinbase to do...

Well, this is neat. Now it looks like I have $15 in Coinbase (whatever the fuck Coinbase is), but instead of 5 to 7 days, now it's saying I can't access it for 11 days? That is a weirdly specific number of days.... 

I'm trying to donate, but I cannot figure out bitcoin to save my life!  Is there a "Seriously, Explain It To Me Like I'm Five Years Old" tutorial anywhere---here on the forum or anywhere? I am tearing my hair out!  I not only want to donate here, but I want to make several other purchases...

No, no, you're totally right! Accuracy is important, and I asked people to take action on something without explaining it accurately. Thank you for the correction, so people who do respond can get it right! :-) One friend of mine, who has medical expertise, sent them a comment and then sent me...

True, and my cynical wording was imprecise. The proposal doesn't really impose anything (e.g., it doesn't require doctors to not treat illicit drug users; it doesn't even require that doctors not treat illicit drug users with opioids). But we saw what happened with the CDC opioid guidelines. The...

I suppose I actually should amend this: For maximum safety, you should test every single bit of every single dose before taking it, which would obviously preclude throwing away the test dose. So if you have extended release, I guess you have to make a choice between either testing one dose and...

Important news! A task force of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services has just issued a recommendation that ALL patients over the age of 18 be drug tested for illicit or non-medical use of prescription drugs prior to receiving ANY medical services (specifically, any time...

I second the recommendation for Dance Safe's fentanyl test strips. They're inexpensive, easy to use, and illicitly manufactured fentanyl is by far the most dangerous substance one is likely to encounter. The only downside to them is that, to use them, you need to crush up the pill, which can...

Thanks!  That's all very sensible and helpful. I can't really understand the benefits of tracking either, and especially not of signing for anything. But, then, at first, I believed blisters were "safer," and now I understand why they are definitely not ("Shake, shake, rattle, rattle, rattle...

Thanks.  These are the kinds of issues that I don't really understand yet, and there's so much conflicting advice out there---you must use a VPN/never use a VPN; use a fake name/never use a fake name; never sign/doesn't matter; always encrypt email/doesn't matter; etc. Some people won't even...

Considering the sheer volume of mail going through the system every day, I can't imagine it would be that easy to match up a delivery date mentioned on this forum to any particular piece of mail. Am I being naive? It just seems like matching that up would be virtually impossible unless an...

That's their excuse for denying you treatment until about age 40. Then they switch and start telling you that your only problem is "aging" and that you just have to suck it up and get used to it. Even though you have objective medical evidence that it's the SAME condition you were diagnosed with...

Is this legal? Did they obtain a court order to watch your mail? Anybody can mail anything to anybody. So if I really wanted to get even with somebody I could ship them something illegal, and the USPS could just start "watching" their mail, with or possibly without even informing them? That...

I would swear I read somewhere on here that we have to both donate AND post 500 times. But now I can't find it....is that true?  If I need to rack up 500 posts, I might as well wait to donate, because 500 posts is going to take me a while....

How is COD risky for the vendor?  You can't pick up a COD parcel without submitting payment first. If you don't pay, parcel is returned to the vendor. Seems like that would minimize risk for both parties. Amazon offers COD on everything---encourages those impulse buys if you don't have to pay...

Wow, that was really informative!  One thing I don't get though: How does not opening the package help a case for innocence?  If an unexpected package arrived with my name and address on it, the first thing I would do is open it! I wouldn't set it aside for days unless I knew what was in it, or...
