That's because there's not conclusive evidence that smoking only marijuana causes cancer - especially to the same degree as tobacco. While it may seem like "smoke is smoke", that doesn't appear to hold for marijuana

Yeah, that's the joke.

Yep! Too bad humanity has settled on decimal instead of dozenal (base 12).

Burning gas on a stovetop burner is nowhere near as capable of extracting energy from the resulting heat as a gas turbine power plant or even a modern furnace.

I think the chain just wouldn't ever move at constant speed. It would be slowing the whole time as the energy stored in the battery is spent in the resistor.

Thanks for your input. I am actually in the process of air sealing and reinsulating my attic. I will have to reevaluate after that is done.

It was down to -8F (not including wind chill) a couple days ago here. I have a small, old house but I'm considering replacing the old system I have now with a heat pump. My concern is two-fold: - my house is not well air sealed - my ho

Have you learned Rust or used it for any significant project? In my opinion: - Rust is more productive than C - Rust is easier than C, once you get past the initial bump And it's not my opinion, it's just fact that Rust has practi

I think it's a little odd that people always loop in Fukushima with Chernobyl. The Chernobyl accident was at least an order of magnitude worse. More people died simply because of the evacuation than from the effects of the Fukushima ac

I'm really surprised this didn't get more engagement given the massive engagement with pretty much any other fusion story here.

> The fact that this issue was reproducible at refrigerator temperatures is even more shocking. 39F (taken from a photo) is not very cold. Yeah that's pretty inexcusable. As a comparison, common "industrial" semiconductor

I recently built a brand new internal GUI tool in WPF. It wasn't bad but it has a few sharp edges: - documentation is lacking - open popups overlay EVERYTHING even windows from other applications - no easy way to create a component wi

In the past, they've found that the causation is actually the other way. People with diabetes etc terms to switch to sweeteners as a way of reducing their sugar intake.

People will just get drunk in the airport ahead of time instead, which is arguably worse, because boarding is the worst time to be inebriated.

Prison is not the right fit. If you want deterrence, make them pay directly towards the victims. Put them on house arrest. Put them on probation. Ban them from holding a managerial or executive role. There are plenty of alternatives that do
