Because none of the test takers could possibly have another computer in front of them... like their phone? I helped my daughter take online tests, and taughter her the usefullness of saying "Hey, Google..." to her Google assistant.

I just remember it being like a chemical wholesale warehouse, don't remember the actual name. My point was that back in the 70's you could just buy everything you needed to make pyrotechnics and pay cash, no questions asked. Now I'm pretty sure you need to prove you're a licensed fireworks manufacturer.

Yes, Los Angeles had stores that sold... chemicals. Where do you think all the school chemistry labs get their supplies? I think they may have stolen the mercury they used to make mercury fulminate from the college chemistry lab though. It was hilarious, watching them mixing up mercury fulminate in their dorm room saying "Let's get closer to the window, we really shouldn't be doing this without a range hood." I just got the hell out of there.

Bush and executed under President Barack Obama."
