That, and also the fact that services like Spotify/Netflix/Amazon/etc. allow you to access everything for a flat monthly fee. Back in the day you had to buy each album individually for $10-$15 (or more) each, same with movies

That's not the technology failing, that's the users failing. Technological failure would imply that manually turning your lights on and off somehow breaks them or renders them otherwise nonfunctional, or the lever/switch itse

Or, say you come up on the scene of an accident where a car has gone off the road at night. You pull your car off the road to illuminate the scene of the accident with your headlights but they stubbornly refuse, turning all the way to max d

That would certainly be something, especially if we can see car pricing become something like this: Boring sedan, MSRP $25,000, Boring sedan (with AI headlight option), MSRP $1,750,000

Yeah, they definitely have with the newer LED light bars compared to the old ones with bulbs. Police in my area usually turn half of them off (to where only the very edges of the light bar are flashing, the middle lights are off) once they

It does. My understanding is that THC inhibits REM sleep, and as a result the chemicals that are usually released during the REM phase that cause you to dream do not get released. Once you quit and start having REM sleep again, there's

Each time I've quit for an extended period of time it's taken me about three weeks to feel normal. During those weeks I definitely feel more grumpy and irritable. I'm also curious as to whether THC or other chemicals in the s

Not disagreeing with you, but I would be surprised if they're buying it directly from the mine and not from some sort of market/middleman/third party company. I wouldn't hold my breath for extensive receipts and document

Just passing along a quote that I heard, nothing more. As for your first point, he's put up with Lars Ulrich for almost 40 years now. If that's not tolerance I don't know what is. For point 2, decrying a large portion of the
