I'm glad that non-competes are being looked at with a stink-eye, I feel it's bullshit to ask someone to sign away their right to use their skills to make a living in exchange for...using their skills to make a living. "If I c

Originally it was a flat out denial IIRC. The sudden recent mention of who cares is what raised a red flag for me, it didn't seem consistent with the original statement at all. I could be wrong, but honestly, "who cares who did it

Haven't the Russians just recently quietly changed gears? i.e. stopped denying it and changed the rhetoric to "why does it matter who leaked it?" I doubt there is concrete, independently verified evidence, but I'm not su

I think OP understands why Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. The question was why are you planning on voting for the Republican nominee. If your answer is because you don't get to choose between the ideal candidate and Trump, tha

I agree, you'll likely puke if you are opiate-naive and try to "toss-n-wash" (swallow a spoonful of leaf with a thick juice) 1/3rd of an ounce of powdered kratom leaf. someone like that should start with just a few grams

I suppose I did start parroting what I said last time I commented here on kratom thread, yeesh. I ought to have qualified it with a disclaimer if I was just going to repeat myself. I feel it's decent basic information on kratom for the

It really isn't a course reversal, the people holding the purse strings seemed to have forced the DEA's hand into extending the period of public comment. IIRC something similar happened with MDMA. Hopefully folks like myself who h

That's an excellent point, one I think is often overlooked. I cannot know how many discoveries were founded on the backs of some other line of research, but what I do know is that things are discovered during the course of research. Im

I don't honestly believe that the allocation of additional surveillance resources would have helped. What's more likely, IMO, is that the crimes you described would never be solved even with millions of dollars in surveillance r

AFAIK, Saudis are a key ally in the region which is why we turn blind eyes to Riydah. So, no, the US wants the current regime to stay and keep the status quo. Losing the current regime could be bad news. Who's to say who and what fills

To the average smuggler, it's a write off. To a dealer, at most an inconvenience. The end user is unaffected. The only real value of a seizure like this is the political one IMO.

why shouldn't it? the phrase itself, in my mind, conjures up images of impossible patents and theoretical technology. maybe I just have a good imagination, but when someone says "carbon capture" I imagine some sort of artille

trees sound plenty viable. maybe it should be called tree planting instead.

is carbon capture actually viable? a completely carbon-free capturing method sounds like perpetual motion or free energy.

why aren't we finding and funding squads of 400 lb men to carry out our cyber will? if Russia and China have squads of state-sponsored hackers, we ought to fight fire with 400 lbs of fire.

The more I learn about this situation the more surprised I am. George Carlin had a great bit about NIMBY-types, but in that bit the NIMBY-types, who don't want a prison built near them, have a "logical" viewpoint that he deco

If the problem is a political one, is the only solution to fight fire with fire? Politics is a slow turning ship, so I can't imagine the problem getting better any time soon for folks who's lives are affected most. I'd probab

I'm fairly ignorant of the housing market in general, but from what I understand the problem in SF has more than one layer: the local government won't allow new housing to be built, the NIMBY crowd wants a one-story skyline across

Ah, see, I once made the mistake of purchasing "economy bacon" to save a buck only to find out what you just said. there was a salty breakfast had that morning.

Yes. IMO the saltiness is a dealbreaker. Some regular bacons are borderline too salty for me though.

This is, simply put, a direct result of the Steam Greenlight system. Since anyone with access to $100 and an asset pack is able to become a self-published con artist, it was only a matter of time before one of these con artists had enough m

There is no censorship IIRC, the entire thing was overblown. (shocking, huh?) if you put blacklisted words in your tags, description or title your video gets demonitized. It isn't censorship of content whatsoever. Did you really think
