You just need to plan your battery selection and consider the electronic warfare environment to go the distance.

There’s also the optical fiber drones which come in spool lengths up to 20km…

I’m unsure how that shows with polling, tbh, but it certainly shows up in the discourse.

Place is cheap and kind of a shithole so it’s possible to open cool bars and late night music venues. People move there because it’s now a cool place. Prices go up. People complain about the noise from the venues. Venues close and are replaced with sterile overpriced crap. Place is now boring and expensive. See: Shoreditch as a fine example.

The best way to learn is to do. Sure, you might make some mistakes along the way, but fuck it. That’s how you learn.

It’s not like a membership badge or anything.

None of which should be crimes.

It’s even come up regularly on YouTube channels like NileRed/NileBlue - he has a couple of videos on processing wastes/cleanup work done after a reaction.

Before the 2017 “general ban” on psychoactive substances in the UK there was a thriving industry where “entrepreneurs” with the contacts for such labs would hire chemists to find them a new candidate analogue/derivative of say, a stimulant or hallucinogen or whatever, knock together a synthesis route, see if it works, and then have it manufactured in bulk for resale to head shops.

A small number of people got incredibly rich off this, some got busted when their product got banned and they didn’t dump the stock fast enough, but most made fucking phenomenal amounts of money.

The same “trade” carries on in some other European countries to this day, with “new” LSD derivatives cropping up every few months when one is invariably banned.

I vaguely recall there was even a few articles about this whole thing back in the day by some journalists, maybe at Vice or something? They had an interview with one of the chemists.

I don’t understand why people in west find that so hard to wrap their heads around, especially Americans.

At the moment, there is a lack of political will to properly give the Houthis a pounding into the sand to force them to stop chucking shit at ships.

Mainly because the American public does not want to deploy marines to Yemen and get in another pointless land war in a sandbox.

They did the decriminalisation step and then never bothered with the “redirecting savings from policing into services” step.

They also fucked it in other ways.

For an example of where it does work - see Portugal.
