   Smoking it in public is obnoxious I agree. Hopefully people choose to eat or vapourize it rather than burn it.

   He had a single puff and did not appear to inhale (his body language made it look like he was a very inexperienced smoker). He said he'd tried it before but wasn't a big fan (a pretty common experience). edit: people are going to

   It's infuriating to me living in North America (I'm in Canada but it's as bad or worse in the US) watching cities develop this way. Mention this to almost anyone here and you will be met with blank stares. There are countle

   I moved to an X1 Carbon (running Ubuntu) from a MBP too. Very happy with it. Keyboard and trackpad are both great.

    The headphone jack is my only gripe with the Pixel 2 and it is a surprisingly big deal to me. The USB-C dongle is terrible . Easy to lose, doesn't work half the time requiring me to reboot the phone (lightning quick thankfully), sto

    Yes, and that's median household income, not individual. It's closer to $60k in the US [1] but your point still stands. [1] http://www.businessinsider.com/us-census-median-income-2017-...

    Thanks for pointing out tick cards to me. For those in Canada MEC has one [1] which is half the price of the same card on Amazon. [1] https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5050-423/Tick-Remover-Card

    Me too. Grew up in the country (running through cornfields etc) in SWO and never had a single tick or even thought about ticks. Then this year my son picked up a small tick in McGregor Park on Lake Huron which thankfully tested negative f

    When I said "only people with money" I meant "meaningful amount of money" but I can see what you're saying. I'm not sure what I'm struggling with about the concept...time for me to do some more reading &#

    This is what I don't understand. In the hypothetical case where we switch to using bitcoin won't early adopters be the only people with money? What about the 99.9(9?)% of the population who don't own any bitcoins?

    That is certainly not what I would consider "quite a lot of food"! If I was forced to use your meal plan I'd eat it in a single sitting in the evening and fast the rest of the day.

    Yeah having a 17" laptop is brilliant with the caveat that they're kind of terrible on planes. I'm using a 14" ThinkPad these days and miss the extra real estate, although I've adapted to it over time.

    Are you saying the end justify the means? The problem is that over and over and over we see companies breaking the rules, reaping massive rewards as a result of unethical practices, saying "sorry" and then carrying on with no rea

    That presupposes you'd have the money for them. I'm fortunate to be able to either have had insurance coverage or pay $5-6000 out of pocket every 3-5 years for new hearing aids, but there are many many people who can't affo
