As I've said in another post, I smoke about everyday, but I don't have any problem pursuing my goals, producing creative works, or excelling in my career. The fine line you're talking about does exist, but it doesn't hav

I have been smoking marijuana for just over a decade straight (about 2/5 of my life), withholding various times of abstinence due to lack of access or finances, looking for a new job, or trying to lower my tolerance. I grew up in a ver

Hence the "let's pretend they get their full tip" statement. It's also taxed, what's your point? Mine still stands.

Is anyone else occasionally afraid to eat at restaurants if a) the tip is established before the food is made and b) you didn't tip well or at all? I have a friend who tells me horror stories of foul behaviour performed with the food b

I propose that we petition Congress to repeal this law: "Tipping again changed in the 1960s, when Congress agreed that workers could receive a lower minimum wage if a portion of their salary came from tips. The minimum wage for tipped

I had thought of something profound today: Within about five minutes, I had walked into a smoothie shop, ordered a drink, paid with a $1 tip, received my drink, and walked out. Pretending for a moment that servers actually get their full ti

I wouldn't agree that your evidence base is replaced with anecdotes (not sure what you mean by SWIM), rather since the drug has been outlawed, all you have left are anecdotes. People will use and describe the effects of drugs with or w

I don't mean to be rude, but not only is 1mg not a 'mid-range' dose, but it's not even enough to get effects from the drug. 100mg is ~average for a small/beginner dose (usually cost $5-10), could that be what your t

What is your dose/frequency? I've experienced with a lot of drugs, and it's true that MDMA has some seriously beneficial effects in terms of turning around depression, anxiety, introversion, etc. However I've never used

The only angle I've had issue using trackpoint with is if you're very high above the laptop, like if you're standing above it. At this angle, trackpad is better. Protip: Lenovo makes different styles of nubs that you can buy.

Your example with cars would only make sense if a software bug put a driver in direct danger without giving them time to be responsible and mitigate the danger. In almost all situations, even with modern technology in cars, it's the dr

In this case, you could loosely say that foreclosure was a direct result of the software bug. Suicide would be an indirect result. Where if a bridge were to collapse, then death would be a direct result.
