    Ideas for a Vulcanite Stem Soak?

    There's no such thing as too small a hole for an ultrasonic machine. If the liquid solution is in the hole, so are the sonic waves. Are you sure your machine is working correctly? If it's a cheap one, the transducer can fall off or come loose from the bottom of the basin, thereby making it...

    As a Perique Lover, I Wish I Still Drank!

    Concerning the Use of Vulcanite Powder for Stem Repair

    I suppose I'd need some old stems to sand down for that. Do you bind it with black CA?

    In 2023, Saying Someone is NOT a Drug User is Insulting

    And with AI, it's going to get a whole lot worse, because AI can make images and video that look real to us humans, but in reality, is completely 100% digitally fabricated. Nothing can go wrong there...

    In 2023, Saying Someone is NOT a Drug User is Insulting

    This is spot on Jesse. I've been saying this same thing practically since the internet came online. I told my wife at the time that I don't think people are ready for this. It will be misused and abused. I have two good friends named Karen. They told me recently that they now are uneasy...
