I've always wanted to try psychedelics but I won't until I have a chain of custody to prove it ain't laced with something nasty. Hopefully something like this comes to California soon!
For what it’s worth you can easily buy test kits online. I use products from Bunk Police to test any substance I put into my body.
I didn't even know that was a thing. Do you just take a piece of it and drop it in some solution?
That’s exactly right! Drop a small piece in a vial, add the solution, and after a short wait it turns a certain color. The test kit comes with a color wheel that indicates what substance you have based on the color in the vial.
And yes! My username is based on the infantry unit of the pre-Marian Reforms Roman Republic. I grew up playing Rome: Total War so the name is a love letter to the game as well. Thanks for the compliment! What does your username mean to you? My first guess is it’s a reference to Mr. T but that might be just an assumption on my part.
Rome is one of my favorite parts of history. When I was driving along commute years ago, I listened to the entire history of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan and I learned so much. Kind of funny, but the final episode where the empire falls, I couldn't finish it because I didn't won't Rome to die. I also love the total war games specifically the historical ones. Really excited for the new Egypt onevto come out.
My name is kind of silly. A goofball from one of my first jobs out of college started calling me this and even printed it out in a homemade design he made and put it on my cubicle.
You could check out History of Byzantium if you want the story to continue.
ohhh, heck yeah. I'll check it out. Is that a specific podcast or do you mean in general?
It's a podcast
Love your username by the way. Is that a Roman unit type?
