~~pharmacists solely being distributors of pre-ordained medication has no detrimental effects on humans. ๐Ÿซ  the US is great to its people, and has very good healthcare practices!!~~ (livestream is on the 27th and i am excite, but not involved at all)

EDIT: my lack of capitalization and poor word choice has confused people. this event is about making legal, tested for efficacy medication only. pharmacists are good. doctors are good. the cost of medication and other hurdles that prevent people from having access to medication are not.

EDIT 2: i looked into the 4 Theives Vinegar Collective (breifly, just on wikipedia) and i did not realize that they made the EpiPencil, which is an open-source device that injects a mesured dose of epinephrine (a medication that can be bought from a trusted and legal distributor). that's awesome stuff, but it's less awesome that they now want to share chemistry knowlege that they don't necissarily have a full understanding of, and push automated synthesis for people who also don't have the foundational knowledge to ensure safety. not really great. i guess that's what happens when healthcare is entirely for-profit, and inaccessable to so many people.

I my be in favor of taking control of ones own life (including medicine) but is just not true that handcrafted things are always better, a shitty artisan will make worse products than a good factory.

luigis glock jammed because parts of it were 3d-printed for example

It jammed because he was using subsonic rounds. Even in factory built firearms, subsonic rounds frequently don't have enough oomph to properly cycle the slide. It's pretty normal to have to manually cycle the slide when using those and judging by how luigi performed in the video, he knew that.

regular 124gr 9x19mm is almost subsonic and he used heavier 147gr bullets, so i think it should work normally in regular pistol. there might be some other factors but that ammo being subsonic should be not one of them
