    Its good that you are checking , but I know some of the sponsors here no longer exist XD . I don't think sponsors have been updated in a long time. I know the admin is still active though

    You can't shame the shameless.

    Anyhoes. Herewith a fantastic deal on a lifetime supply of Bromothymol Blue indicator solution you can use for your CO2 drop checker:

    https://www.chemistore.co.za/products/Bromothymol-Blue-TS-0-1-w-v-in-50-v-v-Alcohol-500ml-p672165799

    That's half a liter for the princely sum of 130 point 46 Mzansistani shekels, or, R260-odd bucks per litre. The shameless store in question asks R199 for 10ml, or (are you sitting down?), R19900 per litre. So, I bought it, so I'm the fool in this scoundrel's tale - but I could deal until the instructions told me to add 1ml to the drop checker, when it's a dropper bottle and I don't have a built-in drops-to-ml converter. You can add the cost of a fresh syringe to that R199 so I could measure out a mil. That was beyond the pale and here we are.

    Now, admittedly, when scorpion venom is USD39,000,000 per gallon (for real), it's a low bar. But when you ARE the scorpion, then anything goes, right?

    The bottom line is that I hope you (and you know who you are) spend that profit wisely, because you will never, EVER, see another cent from me. It is clear that you value your own bottom line more than the welfare of the livestock of the people who keep you in business. Klaar.

    That's some heavy inflation there. I wonder what people do with a gallon of scorpion venom though

    It's used for anti-venom production. Poor horsies. What I want to know is what people who milk scorpions for a living do in their free time...

    Probably filling Mezcal Reposado bottles with those that don't give "milk" anymore.
