   Ever since I snapped at a C-level exec and more or less told them to fuck off and stop asking me for shit, in more polite words, when they are categorically _not_ in the chain above me, I've been feeling a lot better. I may have comple

   I wish there were some syntactic sugar for partial but knowing how patterns like that get abused in other languages maybe it is for the better that there isn't.

   It's like rolling stops at stop signs, a majority of people do it, it's socially accepted! Could we use technology to prevent it? Yes. Should we? I'd hope not.

   Unless you're a daily smoker with a built up tolerance, smoking a whole joint to yourself is going fuck you up. Especially if it's a dispensary preroll. If I was rolling one for myself it would be a lot skinnier and about half the

   Interesting because nicotine in tobacco evolved to ward off insects as well and that's why there's so many pesticides made from related chemicals: neonicotinoids.

    Subaru Impreza and Crosstrek are a good example of that. Same engine, same electronics, same everything except a slightly differently shaped shell on the outside. Even the interior volume is practically the same!

    I swear the LG G6 I had did this. When I visit family, it's a long drive through some pretty spotty areas and the phone would be hot to the touch and the battery drained faster than usual. As if it's just constantly screaming out

    But that's the catch, using ML to scan a plate doesn't confirm who was driving.

    Where I live, speeding and red light cameras can only issue fines to the plate holder and don't affect the demerit points of the driver because they don't have evidence of who was driving the vehicle. I imagine it would go the sam

    Not knowing what FenPhen was I checked the wiki page and wow, it looks remarkably similar to those sketchy amphetamine analogs people sell on the internet like 3-FA, of course selling that as an anti-obesity drug was going to go sideways.
