I wasn't intending to be patronizing, but I can take that as a fair criticism. I have indeed experienced it up close and personal. My experience is that there is no magical "shaving X number of years off the end of your life"

Sorry, but are you high? ;) Your anecdata is incorrect. I can smoke two bowls (or even two 1/8ths) in the course of say 45 minutes, and I will more sober than if I had two IIPAs or two shots of tequila.

Correct. "Schedule 1 (I) drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined by the federal government as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule 1 (I) drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the

There are also tons of people that CAN'T just drink moderately. Functioning alcoholics are all alround you. I am glad that's not you, but just because it's not you doesn't mean there isn't the reality that alcohol d

One more thought...it doesn't always come off the back end. My mother is obese due to lifestyle choices. She has an artificial knee and hip. She is still a vibrant 67 year old woman, but she lost almost 2 years in rehabilitation and no

I hear you on that. I guess for me, when I look back and am honest with myself, what I thought was joyous excess at the time was really me being in a dark spot and excusing many of my behaviors because alcohol. When I think back on things I

Point taken. I was too aggresive in my dismissal and you are absolutely correct that I have the same flaws as any human. Apologies if my tone seemed condescending. As I mentioned in my reply below, I have a lot of feels when it comes to boo

My apologies if that came off too aggressively. It is a subject that I get emotional about due to events in my own life and the lives of my loved ones that were absolutely alcohol related. Thinking back 10 years, I would have said exactly t

Perhaps GP meant grapes that hashed been mashed and are in a tank, but not yet to the point of fermentation (be it by introduction of wild yeast or human intervention)? I.e. the "must". A quick search shows it is derived from ther

How old are you? I'm just a touch over 40 and even at this age the poignancy of life really starts to reveal itself to you. You would trade 5 years of your life for being able to drink wine? Because it's that delicious, right? Sor

Totally on point. If you are an American, I challenge you to start noticing: "Oh man, I was soooo shitfaced..." "I was so hungover..." "Dude, I don't even know how I made it home..." "Nah, I'm fi

Alcohol is shilled so hard in America. It's disgusting. I honestly don't know why it isn't more strictly regulated. I used to binge drink every few nights when I was younger. Like most people that have drank more than they sh

Okay...maybe a stupid question. Could they train on white noise from a television and see if the CBR shows a structure similar to the structure of the observable universe when examining the feature layers?

Another reason to be so proud of one of my city's best breweries, Modern Times. Totally employee owned and growing like gangbusters. I admire Jacob and the whole team there for being the Fugazi of beer.

This is slightly OT, but a great prank is to use the 'say' application on OS X (there is a ladies' voice option that sounds very similar to Alexa but the name evades me) and hook up the Alexa as a BT speaker. You can also use

No kidding. Feels like it should have a QR code on the machine. you can use to download an app that explains what is happening. Or at least a PDF of the probably 10 page payout schedule. And to even get to whatever 3D Ellen Simpsons Plants

Will the datasets be open to contribution from members of the public or are these readonly mirrors? Seems like Blue Horizon and Prime Now amongst many other of their offerings that would be use cases for up to the minute data?

Wait, wha??? You have the right to it, but you are not entitled to it? I don't know if you are American, but let's assume you are. The Declaration Of Independence enshrines three "unalienable rights" that governments are

True. I suppose my point is that I belive that a _physical_ artifact is the only chance at this working. What if the culture that discovers it is in a "dark age" and doesn't even have the electricity to power these supposed f

I guess my issue with this line of thought is - how do you include the "playback device" along with the media? So many assumptions must be made about the theoretical future inhabitants that would "discover" our culture w

This is something I think about a lot. How do we build a "data pyramid" that can be interpreted by future generations. I feel like much of our culture will be lost to bit rot.
