I know this is purely subjective, but personally I genuinely haven't found a bourbon I like, while I love plenty of single malts (not just from Scotland but also Irish/Japanese). Maybe someday that'll change for me or maybe I

NP. I guess overdose being the biggest risk is subjective - if a substance gets you addicted but never kills you then personally I'd consider that less bad than a substance that doesn't get you addicted but could kill you - so I&#

Wikipedia states "The average purity of street heroin in the UK varies between 30% and 50% and heroin that has been seized at the border has purity levels between 40% and 60%" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He

At least in the UK and France, localbitcoins.com let's sellers/buyers use alternatives to meeting with cash, for example direct bank transfer, or some apps we have (like Barclays PingIt in the UK) - the coins go into the site&#x27

Thanks - and OK, for all drugs makes a lot more sense to me.

I don't disagree with you that he's wrong, but arguing without proper arguments then insulting him doesn't really help the conversation. @bcook: Heroin, if it was 100% pure (e.g. as manufactured by a pharmacuticals company),

Where does the £6b number come from? It seems very high to me. A 2014 survey has the following numbers: 31% have ever used illegal drugs, 21% still take illegal drugs "even if only occasionally". 93% of people who have tried illeg

Every (afaik) country currently classifies distribution as that word is defined - giving drugs to a friend for free is just as illegal as selling them to a stranger for profit. Possibly treated more leniently, I don't know, but not leg

On my iPhone I don't get the scrolling bug you talk about (and don't recall ever having it on NYT pages), but I do have two options to fix it if it comes up - the reading mode where it strips everything but the content, and the &q

I have a friend, former colleague, who I regularly make jokes about pushing in front of a bus to his face. He knows I'm joking so guess what... he doesn't care. If I made the same joke behind his back, but still without any wish f

Is that compatible with this?: Why choose this approach? The traditional approach would be much simpler. I think it is to make sure the customer always has a good customer experience and losing trip information for an active tri

Just curious, why did you pick the Guardian to call out when it's not even one of the UK's worst offenders for headlines with puns in them (i.e. tabloids)?

To be fair... I've made jokes like that, if you're saying it to somebody who knows you're joking then there's nothing threatening about it at all. They neither threatened the person with murder (I presume he was unaware)

It doesn't give specific examples but it does say that it could "come off as harsh" and words like "cutting" imply that.

One example doesn't prove anything, but neither does saying "this is the case, I'm right". (For what it's worth I have a semi-unrelated anecdote: I'm 25, and in the UK if I buy alcohol or cigarettes in a t-shir

If a man gets a woman pregnant and then the male takes risks then even if the risk results in death he still has offspring on the way, if the woman dies while pregnant then not so - could that be a reason?

I think those players all have the potential to achieve legend status at Arsenal (maybe not Monreal so much, and maybe not Giroud though for the latter I'd argue because he's under-rated by many) if they a.) Keep going the way the

In football (soccer), more so than in sports like baseball in America, players' costs are often more in the price tag when getting the player than their wages. A very good player might make £10m/yr in wages, and cost £50m to buy f

Also related to buildings, but in this case to avoid taxation - in the UK there was a "window tax", designed to be a progressive tax (the wealthier you are, the bigger your house, the more windows you have, the more tax you pay).

I support this change - and am glad it became legal here in Paris a few months ago, since most people here already went through red lights - but it clearly is more subject to interpretation. If a vehicle is already in the junction as you sp

I'm not saying you need to be a lawyer to do what Fixed is doing, just that the question of "would you hire a lawyer for X" isn't the way to argue that point. Because there are people who would get their lawyer to deal w

Yes I understood - my point is that I wouldn't feel safer past the TSA screeners. If a terrorist gets a bomb (or weapon) past TSA, chances are he is going to attack a plane. If they wanted to attack a hotel why would they go to one ins

Even if your layoffs were 100% based on refocusing on certain areas, surely you'd (often) still want to keep the best employees you have in areas you no longer care about over the worst employees you have in areas you still care about,

Personally I don't worry about potential terrorism when I fly, but if I did then I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be worried by staying in a hotel outside airport security... why would that be more of a target than a hotel in a cit

Your question isn't particularly useful, some people might not hire a lawyer to fight against an accusation of murder, but it doesn't mean if you did hire someone to do it they wouldn't need to be qualified. Equally I'd

Tucci is being acquired, not acquiring Dell. Maybe your view still stands despite that - I don't have any views on Tucci personally (I know nothing about his track record).

As opposed to any other acquisition (excl. acquihires) where the company doesn't have any incentive to keep customers at all and therefore everything they say must be completely true?
