Good thing toothpaste isn't addictive... hope the Crest folk aren't reading this. Very good point, though. I was lucky, I had several positive experiences in a short time period and could rationalize my decision to desist. I have

I didn'y say pharmaceuticals are of little or no value, I said recidivist rates for alcohol & opium addiction are upwards of 90%. If a chemical imbalance causes harmful behaviors, then yes, pharmacology can be a lifesaver. My exper

As I see it, didn't vote for either, when the devil you know is bad you gotta give hope a chance. That was the mantra back at the start of the Great Recession, hope it takes hold this time or we're just pouring gas on the fire. I

Absolutely an individual choice. Why someone chooses to continue to detriment is an infinte pool of rationalizations. I did it for the entertainment & group inclusion(poker). I justified it as I didn't lose $200, I paid for several

Not a big issue for me, most media-driven issues have no bearing on my day-to-day directly, luckily. Until noise on the line could be considred an assault on intelligence, I could care less what media-darling group is being given more atten

And yet the true power is the policy makers in governments and board rooms who have(had?) the ability to incentivize and influence adoption of more sustainable actions. These people make decisions every single day. Their primary motivation?

Ah, but it is acceptable to the majority for Apple & Google, and now, with a vengance, MS. Or the ISPs and telecoms. Or the IoTs. But not for the guv, unless a 'good guy' is in charge. Copy that.

Unsure of costs, but there is a viable alternative to urine. It's shortcoming, if you can call it that, is it only tests for drug ingestion in short-term of a few hours. IMO, that is the limit an employer's interest should cover,

I used to trust and find gems with urbanspoon, but it feels like since the zomato change it misses niche places in small towns I know exist from previous experience. As stated above, ask a local. If they say Applebees, ask someone else.
