It's definitely bogus. I can't dig up anything on this except reblogs of it. The Chirac video is taken out of context, from a television interview where he says the current state of France as a first world country, and a G8 countr

The issue is the engine compartments for a lot of vehicles are arranged by subcontracted firms. I know a guy who works for a company that does this for Ford, GM and Dodge, and there's not a mechanically inclined person in the bunch. Th

If we eliminated treatment with drugs with resistances against them, we'd no longer be artificially selecting for those bacteria, which would mean the bacteria that naturally performed better would be the most likely to survive. Essent

If it has the same relative safety of use as penicillin lines of antibiotics, but is more robust in its method of action to prevent resistance occurring as easily, then my guess would be it would be preferable to use as widely as possible.

I know a guy who works trucking the chemicals for the oil fracking. He makes a lot of money, and when on the job all expenses are paid. Once his rotation is over, he hops on a plane to Thailand. He owns a house there that he paid comparativ

As an aspiring writer (read as: as someone aspiring to earn less money) I've looked into this quite a bit. I'm married with kids (well soon to be plural anyway) so the cheap rents are out of the question, and despite their general

Well its made by Channel 4, so it's a private company that entered into the arrangement. A BUPA hospital would want to be shown in a positive light just to let a camera through the door, so I don't see why an NHS hospital should b

Speaking as a former game reviewer, I think Disney's inability to enter the game market with quantifiable success is that they're still being reactionary. Games are stories, regardless of how you look at them. They're either

Ground based radar is blind below the horizon, and generally blind near the horizon. At 3.2km (2 miles) up the horizon is 202km away. At 12m (40ft) for a ground based radar (pulled that out of my arse, just for an example) the horizon is at

Well, actually that's not a massive problem. The spans between the individual islands isn't huge. The longest bridge in the world is 164km long and built for high speed rail. The issue is Japan is earthquake prone, and big bridges

I think this is the better approach. My Cell provider charges me overages, I can't upgrade to a better plan - there is none (honestly, how?) - so they charge me. The result? Last time my contract ended I changed provider. If a customer

I think you hit the nail on the head. LA-SF is the busiest air route in North America, and it's one of the busiest air routes globally regardless of how it's ranked. On the number of seats flown per month it ranks comparatively lo

I had the same experience on a keto diet. There's also nothing like the euphoria of having so much energy after a long day (I work construction) that at 2am you have to get out of bed, still wide awake, and go down stairs to do a hundr

I work construction, I managed eating a very strict ketogenic diet for several months. There's a brief window where your energy is low in the beginning, but after a month I found I had far more endurance than I did before, and than I h

I'm not even going to attempt to argue this, because I sense I'm simply going to be banging my head against the wall because you're going to be locked into semantics and obsessing over "unguided". Convergent evoluti

To be fair "You don't go to jail for using child labour" is a good reason to me. Also tack on "and my rate just went up £10 for hearing your stupid comment."

Cows. No one suspects something so docile and they outweigh us as a species by about 50%. We bred them to be tasty, but they were the ones using us.

Possession is illegal, albeit laxly enforced. Drug use has never been illegal in Canada.

Also in other countries (like Canada) police don't even care about drug use as it's not illegal. So purchasing grams of a substance wouldn't even be worth a raid as they'll not find anything to charge you with and the fa

You mention your outlook on life changed, would you mind elaborating on this? What influence has this altered outlook had on your life and goals? Speaking from personal experience, my use of psychedelics has profoundly realigned my goals. O
