As someone who was physically dependent on benzos, heroin, and speed, you 100% can get addicted to cannabis. I wouldn't say it was any easier to quit for me than any other drug. The experience was different but the effects on my life w

We have 200 m total of segregated bike paths in my city so I don't have too much of an opinion on them. My complaint is the feeling of being forced to use them when they are the dirtiest and most dangerous part of the road. They are ju

I have the opposite opinion of painted-line bike paths: I'd rather they not be there at all. If they are there I feel forced to use them by drivers punishment passing me, despite the fact that the so-called bike lanes are full of glass

People always seem to complain about the etymological spelling of English but I love it. I love being able to look at a word and quickly know what its likely origin language was and get an idea of its meaning. N.B. I'm not a prescripti

In my experience the only people who care about these rankings are 17- and 18-year-olds applying for places. And the rankings can show the opposite of how people actual view the unis. Where I am we have a Russell Group uni and an ex-poly. I

Yep, I’m a native English and French speaker and when I speak in English to someone whose first language is a Romance language I make an effort to use more Latin-origin words, which does make the English sound very formal to native speakers

Could be they overzealously blocked a load of things that could be used to cheat on exams (a REPL can be used as a calculator). Never attribute to malice etc. Not saying it’s right but I think it’s unlikely there’s some nefarious current in
