It takes a minimum of about 3 years to set up chip factories and longer to ramp up production, so it's likely they think of this as a problem for the next CEO.

I couldn't find any refences to a book anywhere - there was a short comic.

On estrogen it's going to take a while for us to answer that question but I'll be damned of we aren't going to get you your answer.

Man I loved the Lynch movie - it's dialogue is kinda silly, the special effects dated and it's got some super dumb moments, but so has the book at times. The design work is top knotch though, doubly so for it's time. I'm also still partially convinced Sting just wandered on to the set out of the desert and they just filmed what happend.

Man, a lot of people here just repeating the same old myths and police lines about moonshine making you blind and stills exploding. Not to be that guy but do some research.

Methanol poisoning is hugely overstated, sugar and grain mash don't produce enough for it to be dangerous. Fruit mash can, but it's easy to mitigate. Most cases of methanol poisoning are either the person purposefully drinking methanol or from alcohol that's been adulterated with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_methanol_poisoning_incidents

Stills can start fires, if improperly operated, but so can gas hobs and we're not calling for a license to operate those. You really need to be making industrial quantities at pressure for it to explode. Looking at it as a cause of fires in countries where it's legal indicate that it's a non-issue. If you're worried about forest fires, don't make it so people need to hide in the woods and they'll do it at home.

That's actually a myth, grain and sugar mash produce very little methanol, way below the harmful amount. Fruit mash can produce harmful amounts, but can be easily mitigated. Most cases of methanol poisoning are from people purposefully consuming it or from alcohol that has been adulterated with methanol - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_methanol_poisoning_incidents
