Dealer where are you? Think this the one source you have not given a hard time about pics of setup!
Lol I didn't want to bother the established people but what's fair is fair I guess. Next let's ask NAPS lol.
I am also of the opinion that you don't need fancy equipment to be clean as it really depends on the individual doing the brewing. Tons of people self brew with no problems.
Fancy equipment with a lazy / not detailed brewer = floaters and infections. And for the record I have had multiple infections so I guess you can say I am on a crusade.
My underlying logic for some kind of pics is a) the source is giving a piece of himself to you and willing to go that extra mile because not everyone is here for a quick 3 month sprint and b) it helps us identify a lab gone bad.
Personally I envision 5 to 10 solid labs with proof of their setup competing with each other not only on service but with price.
Setup is just one piece of the puzzle as we now have labmax.
I almost have a few mass spec labs ready to go but the coordination is going to be tricky and I honestly don't want to do it ( at least after the first go round ).
A market place is something very interesting and if you think about it we went from bartering thousands of years ago to a global and interconnected economy.
The beauty of Meso is it's raw and unfiltered. You have sources making fake accounts, sources with bad attitudes who probably have good brews and annoying members ( like me ) mixing together making this place a true hub ( and LE target ). This place is a racket and at times I force myself to disconnect just for peace of mind.
As for Ascendant Labs. I like his attitude. But then again I liked PEPS attitude too until he decided to get angry at the mob because of HIS fuck up.
Shit NAPS had an issue with an infection and he covered the guys hospital bill!! Then again NAPS moves millions. Something PEP was not smart enough to understand. Not to say NAPS is perfect because I heard there was a while there a few years back where they hit the delete button a lot on these sponsor boards.
In any case I hope this man comes through and if you do follow through please remember to remove the meta data from your pics.
