Consumer Advisory: Is it an e-bike—or something else?

Heads-up to Californians who are shopping for a legitimate e-bike. Be careful not to be misled by a seller who may be falsely advertising or promoting other products, e.g., electric motorcycles, as e-bikes.

i saw that crimethinc's demonstrator's guides were gaining traction (again) on here, so i decided to format them into one collection and printed off 30 of them to share.

i'm an amateur, so these are not publishing house quality -- but hey, they work fine, and the info and pictures are all there.

includes very detailed info on:
helmets, goggles, masks, armor, various police tactics and tools, blockades, lockdowns, and banners.

if you would like one, send me a direct message or email with a mailing address and i'll send one -- it's only ~$4 to ship, so i'm willing to cover the cost myself. if you're in the portland, oregon area, please arrange for a drop off or pick up.

The FDA is cracking down on a generic drugmaker that was the subject of a ProPublica investigation last year, citing problems with safety tests that delayed the recall of a faulty medicine linked to deaths in the U.S.

The FDA found that Sun Pharma, which produces generic drugs for U.S. consumers, failed to investigate the source of bacteria found in test vials or promptly deal with damaged equipment that had caused drugs to be contaminated with metal particles.

At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".

-"with lime" means call the police.

- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.

- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.

You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"
