Alcohol is illegal here until you're 21, and then there are rules like no driving after drinking. We even tried to make it illegal but it wasn't tenable. Gambling is also illegal or very regulated in my state. And opiates are a co

That's patently absurd. You're not likely to see a gamer out there ripping and robbing to support a habit. Do people get addicted to games? Food? Sex? Whatever? Yeah sure. But by far drugs lead to more crime.

Dope costs money. When you've got a habit and no job, how are you going to pay? People steal to support their habits. Little children have their childhood stolen because their parents were addicts. People crash cars and kill people. Th

I race motorcycles and also ride on the street most days, so this is a familiar topic of discussion with my wife, especially considering that we have a two-year-old son. What I can say on the subject is that there's a big difference be

Along with these complaints, I wish there was a greater sense of urgency among publishers to reduce page bloat. Some news sites require megabytes of javascript, video, and god-knows-what to display a couple kilobytes of text. It's craz

SQLite definitely presents some unique challenges, despite it generally being the "simplest" relational database. I've written a web-based SQLite database browser, which you can find here: https://github.com/c

We're talking about FB's decision to add mustaches to your face while posing for a selfie. It's couched as a debate about business ethics / innovation, but remember: we're talking about dog ears and mustaches.

There is a rational middle ground -- Ubuntu's regular semi-annual releases. If Ubuntu doesn't meet your needs, maybe try Centos + EPEL. You get a lot of stability with the option to install more recent versions of some packages. T

Things are supposed to be stable if you're running an LTS, you savage! If you want everything bleeding edge, then use Arch Linux, not an Ubuntu LTS. Good god man. Also I love the incredible specificity of your "ROLE/AFFILIATI

The terminal web browser w3m can display actual images pixel for pixel in the terminal. Ranger, a terminal file browser, leverages this to do image previews in the term. It's quite cool! More details, including other methods, are descr

I confused you by making two points in one comment. The first was that you had a whiff of withdrawal, but only a whiff. Its disingenuous to compare yourself to the daughter in this article. The second was that physical addiction is very dif

I don't think you know what you're talking about. For how many weeks were you on the medication? For how long were you in withdrawal? Heroin, hydromorphone, oxycodone, etc the withdrawal lasts 5-7 days. Were you in withdrawal for

Well, my point was really about GPs and family doctors needing to be familiar with various ways to treat opiate addiction.

I'm speaking from experience. Mexico's become a huge producer of tar. It also matters where you live - if you're on the east coast the H is completely different from what you see in the midwest or southwest. https:/&#x2

GPs should know about clonodine. It's a blood pressure medicine that counteracts the massive norepinephrine dump you experience when you kick (and which is the number one thing that makes it so unbearable). It helps a lot. Besides meth

To those that downvoted, care to explain? I think it's a reasonable point to make that many of us read as much (or more) code as we write. Therefore, my concerns about readability.

I use a lot of software written by other people. I need to, in many cases, read and understand that software. So pretending it doesn't exist is fine for personal, small projects, but doesn't seem as realistic in my day-to-day work
