With a lot of heat and pressure water can dissolve rock, oil and gas dissolve into the water easily, and if you put organic waste into really angry water that shit will burn. Underwater! It even destroys PFAS and prions!







  • Addicts often commit other crimes, but the addiction is a function of the exposure to (and therefore trafficking of by other people) addictive substances.

But tackling drug trafficking is scary and dangerous because it turns out drugs are profitable and traffickers have loads of money and power.





  • flow as in menstrual flow, the literal volume of blood and mucosal lining from the uterus during a woman’s period

    flow also as in lyrical flow, the use of rhythm and articulation in a rapper’s delivery

    bar as in a measure of time in music, typically a four beat bar

    spitting referring to the rapid and rhythmic delivery of words to a beat
