How many societies would have made marijuana illegal had the US not done so first and then forced the rest of the world’s hand?

With all due respect, your inability to use marijuana responsibly should not make my responsible marijuana usage illegal.

Thank you. In theory if the diabetic successfully controls their blood sugar for the vast majority of the time does that limit the damage?

None of this should matter anyway. No one should have any amount of money just sitting in your PayPal account. It should be 100% withdrawn immediately.

Are you confusing blood pressure and blood sugar? My boyfriend is type 1 diabetic, he measures his blood sugar multiple times a day, but I have never seen him measure his blood pressure.

What I don’t understand in situations like this when thousands of flights are cancelled is how do they catch up? It always seems like flights are at max capacity at all times, at least when I fly. If they cancel 1,000 flights in one day, ho

I just wish we would all stop pretending that everyone's medical info is protected when it clearly isn't...so now we have the worst of both worlds. All the red tape of HIPAA compliance with no actual privacy anyway. And it's

I once went to the dermatologist, the doctor left the room briefly and had the computer screen open with everyone’s full name and reason for the visit that day…could see who was there for genital warts, Botox, etc. I don’t think anyone shou

I still don’t understand Theranos’s original value prop. Once you are already going in to have blood taken, what difference does it make whether it’s a small amount or a full test tube?

Can’t possibly be worse than what dealerships are already doing. On the other hand, all it takes is one whistleblower employee at tesla to blow the cover on the entire operation if they’re up to no good.

Is that true for RTSCs? In the last month of this saga, every time I saw someone comment on some amazing new technology that RTSC would enable, another expert would chime in and explain why that’s not actually possible or feasible for vario

The problem, as stated by the comment I was responding to, was workers' wages constantly falling behind the rising cost of living and that was the solution I proposed. The commenter I was responding to proposed an alternate solution wh

It’s a pretty easy problem to solve, just have wages increase automatically on an annual basis in line with changes to the CPI. That would be in addition to any raises due to good job performance or a promotion. Or even on a monthly basis d

You’re supposed to be getting raises to keep up with inflation. Inflation means rising cost of everything, including your labor. What is your source of a fixed income? Even social security has cost of living adjustments. If it’s an annuity,

Even 15% is too high. It's pretty hard as a developer to lop 30% or even 15% off your top line and still survive in a market that is already really competitive. That's why I got out about a decade ago. You have to spam the hell ou
