   Here is my take on cannabis. I live in a state that is still under prohibition. I mostly stopped smoking cannabis after I got out of college in the early 2000s. I would occasionally smoke here and there, but I didn't really know anyone

   Wasn't Uber's autonomous program basically a bunch of Carnegie Mellon researchers? My initial thought was that they actually had some of the best people in the field working on this problem. I vaguely even remember some criticism

   I feel like each graphene story shows more and more that this is a potential super material. I would not be surprised to read something like "Graphene infused superconductor found to make time travel possible"

   My thought on this is that how else would you compel change in the market? I don't think any other entity could do so. Of course I am no expert in this so I am willing to listen and consider what the alternatives are. Also just want to

   I cant ever foresee a situation where I think the government is in the best position to decide what farmers grow, what livestock is produced and what I should put on my plate. just no.

   I can also add a solid reason to build a hackintosh: There is a systemic, as yet unresolved issue that a non trivial percentage of users are experiencing with the iMac Pro and 2018 refresh Macbook Pro. While unproven, it seems related to t

   Thanks. Your last sentence seems to sum up the motive here in my opinion, not so much to screw the short sellers, but to limit/stop the ability of them to influence the value of the company through whatever means.

   I am a bit ignorant as to the mechanics of how this would work. Can anyone with the knowledge elaborate on what this means? Im thinking in terms of a few scenarios here: 1) I read this news and want to get on the Tesla train and throw all m

    Ive recently started doing "mini" fasts combined with a keto diet to shed a few pounds. I usually just eat one meal per day at dinner time. While getting started on it was somewhat difficult after about 7 days I was in the groove

    Totally agree with that. I would also argue that the last few albums showed songwriting that was less inspired than the early stuff. It was brilliantly executed and produced, but not quite as creative or cohesive. I think that dovetails nic

    Ive long been thinking that the way to "fix" journalism in the US(and possibly rest of the world) is to have apple music/spotify like channels that the major publishers broadcast through. It solves the problem of having 50 di

    There is a book that attempts to piece together the ownership of the Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starr catalog called Beatles Songs(appropriately). It uses anecdotes, interviews, guesswork and black magic in order to attribute

    I can relate to this. What it really came down to with me was that I felt anxiety not about the plane crashing, but being in a situation that I cannot control. This mostly stems from my personal situation. I am a divorced dad of 2. I have a

    I agree. I was on another site where we were uploading samples of various owners 808s/808 clones and the results were pretty conclusive that once you match for level and settings you would never know if it was an 808 or a clone. The Yo

    Sorry about that. I should proofread my posts.

    I’ve owned 3 tr-808s in my life. I currently own one. I can confirm that each one sounds different. I’ve samples from each one. The first 2 I owned were from later in the production run. There are 2 distinct revisions of tr-808s. The early

    I think they knew at the time that Motorola processors weren’t quite living up to their promise. Theory didn’t seem to line up with practice and while they were technically faster per clock it didn’t always translate to performance. Intel a

    I would advise folks to hold off on this. I've a base configuration iMac Pro. There is an issue with either the video card, T2 chip or some combination of the 2.(or maybe something entirely different) There is a kernel panic issue that

    Nissan has gone from being a sought after sports car brand to the second worst manufacturer in Japan. They are lucky that Mitsubishi makes cars in that respect. After Infiniti took the near premium market, Nissan went down market and now ma

    I think the author misses the point of Sonos somewhat. I don’t think they aim to dominate the smart speaker market. They seem to be a fashionable upper midrange device that is as much for status as it is a speaker. They market Sonos speaker

    I understand that, but I think the definition of surprise is too ambiguous to really make the inference. I think that surprise could just simply mean he doesnt know when it will happen- so it could happen at any day at noon. Does he have to

    I understand the paradox but to me it really just highlights the ambiguity of the English language. The surprise in this case doesn’t literally mean he will be surprised, it really just means that he will not be given the information. The l

    I agree with you 100%- there should be a protocol for handling this situation. I have know idea what that should be, but seems like there needs to be a way to encapsulate the battery with an insulator and prevent any further shorts/fir

    I would say that the fact this battery reignited is barely news. Its a well known "feature" of lithium batteries. Petrol is at least as dangerous from the perspective of a fire hazard. Diesel is probably the least likely to sponta
