Pharmacology
5α-Androstane is reported to be effective as an androgen, in spite of having no oxygen substitutions.[1][2]
gollark: This sounds like just indirected bartering. Which is problematic.
gollark: With no particular incentive to except that the "friend" might not like it otherwise?
gollark: So companies are supposed to just give goods to their "friends"...?
gollark: To some extent, but it's fuzzier, and how is that meant to work for *factories* or whatever?
gollark: And it's (very roughly) gotten by providing stuff people want, so organizations which can do that can pay more than ones which can't.
