It seems likely that hundred-year-long droughts are very common in California. If you've ever seen Lake Tenaya in Yosemite, you may notice some dead trees sticking out the surface... Those trees are from a drought period in the Middle

There can also be dangerous cavitation as the water level gets closer to the intakes.

You must have been doing some marketing earlier on though , right? How did it get to be popular in the first place?

If Europe ends up with a massive shortage of natural gas for heating, would that significantly increase the demand for heating oil?

Go to shroomery.org - your best bet is to learn how to grow them. It's an awesome hobby in general, and you can grow non-psychedelic mushrooms as well if you just want to get the hang of it. https://www.shroomery.org/fo

Wow. I almost started working on a project 6 months ago based solely on the fact that PredictIt was able to get that no-action letter from the CFTC.

I wouldn't mind having a shortcut or "I'm stuck" button that would try to figure out what my issue was based on my last 5 minutes of activity.

I'd been using iPhones without that feature since 2008, and there was really no reason for me to assume there was a fundamental change. Everything else was basically the same until I tried to delete some apps. I suppose if my first iPh

Oh jeez... that's gotta be exactly what happened to me, and why turning off the 3d touch setting fixed it.

by failTide 4y ago
I had the very first iphone and several after that before the touch thing... Long press was always the way to do that, and I never had a problem deleting hundreds of apps - I'd even released a few of my own iphone apps at that point. T

That game really does build up mouse skills. I remember playing it when I was 5 and having no idea what the rules were - I just liked to click all the fun little boxes with the cool numbers and bombs.

There's got to be a tactful way to do this without interrupting users. If anyone's got some good examples I'd like to take a look.

so I'm relatively anti-phone and have been for a while. There was a period of time where I didn't have a smartphone for a few years. When I started using an iPhone again, I realized I couldn't figure out how the heck to delet

> And we disagree here, for the reason I mentioned before about how most people don't actually know what a safe dose is, Then the main issue would just be education (i.e. people learn to start at a low dose and build up), and we all

Sending people to jail for growing personal-use quantities has probably ruined many more lives than psychedelics. It's sickening.

by failTide 4y ago
I don't mind some common sense controls, as long as it doesn't end up in jail time for anyone. The bill doesn't make the substances legal to sell - that part can be determined later. I think just being able to grow one's

Have you ever tried these compounds? At lower doses, there's really no significant visuals or hallucinating at all. It's more like it gives you different perspectives, different ways of thinking, strategies for being happier, stra

That's a good call - I used to love cottage cheese as a kid. I'm putting that on my list. I've never experimented with egg whites but I love the idea of no cholesterol, I think I'll try that too.

I've been adding 0% greek yogurt to my breakfast - nice way to sneak some protein in there. I had no idea how low cal/ high protein that stuff was until recently.

I definitely wouldn't visit those nasty libgen sites to download thousands of books from the pearson catalog for free, because pearson really cares about knowledge.

That's an interesting idea - although there would need to be a way to prove the data wasn't tampered with, since a lot of companies are using plaid to make decisions on loans and things. What the banking industry should do is just

Isn't plaid the company that puts up a phishing-esque 'real looking' bank login page, then captures the login info and then makes that banking data available to whichever third party had set the thing up? Not sure if they&#x

Yeah I was tempted to do this on my D5100 that I've used for a decade+... as soon as I buy my next camera perhaps.

You can also install various hacked firmware if you're ever inclined. The mods are pretty interesting, including improved modes for astrophotography.

Agreed. They're giving the middle finger to people who can't afford a new one but were still interested in Tesla. Could have been a good opportunity to create loyal customers who are on a budget now, but could afford to spend more

I think he's good as long as you can remain critical - he's brings up some good topics but people need to come to their own conclusions. He's pretty anti-SpaceX, but I think some of his criticisms are off there. I remember on

I've never seen that although I'm sure it happens. What I have seen a lot is the entire crowd cheering when a visiting player is able to walk off after being knocked down with a possible injury.
