- kanzure proposes engineering bacteria to synthesize acetylcholine to circumvent the $1-per-milligram cost of lab-grade chemical; the group debates oral choline sources, IV delivery, and implantable GI-tract microbes as routes to sustained-attention enhancement.  
- A critical discussion unfolds on the ontological status of “schizophrenia,” arguing that the DSM’s symptom-count diagnosis obscures heterogeneous underlying causes and parallels historical labels like “hysteria.”  
- fenn reports that piracetam plus lecithin boosts pattern-recognition of social “drama/bullshit mechanisms,” while kanzure and others compare racetam experiences and sources.  
- kanzure introduces “fabhat,” an open-source analogue to Linux distributions but for physical fabrication: a standardized, SKDB-managed inventory of tools, materials, and machines enabling reproducible tech-shops.  
- The channel exchanges supplier intel: Sigma-Aldrich’s high prices, rogue-science forums (roguesci.org), and a Wikipedia list of chemical companies (Category:Chemical_companies) are highlighted for sourcing fine chemicals.  
- THC is noted as a cheap (~$0.014 mg⁻¹ crude) acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, prompting half-serious cost-benefit chatter alongside serious searches for bulk chemical vendors.  
- Links circulated include kanzure’s wiki page on sustained-attention mechanisms, Paul Fernhout’s “Post-Scarcity Primer,” and Chempedia.com as an open chemical-information resource.
