Seriously, though, there is a vast difference between taking a prescribed drug and becoming addicted to it and using a proscribed drug for the explicit purpose of getting high.
Yes, the first is where you're being abused by people who are supposed to care for you, and the second is living your life like a free person.
As much as you want your son back, nobody can do anything to make mu opioid agonists less addictive. Purdue's marketing is absolutely dishonest, but if they had a way to make opioid analgesics non-addictive they would make a huge pile of money by displacing every other opioid analgesic on the market. Mu opioid receptors exhibit desensitization, that's just how they work.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, and keep up the good fight.
He supports candidates that support the criminalization of cannabis. That's close enough. Yes, that applies to anyone who supports Obama too. The War on Drug Users is an atrocity.
Multitasking is doing two tasks at once. This is just distracting the kids. When people multitask, they generally get to choose when they do each task. In this experiment they just randomly hear unrelated words. This experiment has nothing to do with multitasking.
I'm not going to argue that multitasking is beneficial, but the real story is the abysmal quality of this research.
This must be a tech support thing. I wonder if it's on their scripts. I work with a large number of Indian immigrants in academia and have never heard this phrase.
I don't think they care about/. They care about ThinkGeek. I'm more worried about Sourceforge. The world could do with/. pretty easily, but Sourceforge serves an important function.
I grew up watching those little robots zipping around on the bridge of an Imperial star ship, so when I first powered up the thing I was a giddy. I felt like I was one step closer to the idealized future envisioned in my childhood.
Unfortunately, we're a lot closer to that Imperial future in a lot of ways we'd rather not be.
It's an easy way of saying "dropped by a factor of 3". Take the old price, divide it by the specified factor, and you have the new price. It's not that hard.
Is that the same sort of thing as "todays temperature is twice as cold"?
No, that's meaningless because zero on the typical temperature scales is arbitrary. If you use Kelvin, it's completely meaningful to say something is "twice as cold". It just means the molecules have half the kinetic energy on average.
And before you tell me I don't know what I'm talking about I spent enough time in India to know that all the Indian 'It used to be like that but it's better now' crowd are lying for the sake of national pride.
Just like all the Americans who keep saying we're the best country in the world. Somehow they're always stumped when I ask them, "By what metric?".
Which is exactly why they should learn those consequences by having to pay for their phone from their own pocket. Teenagers have the brain capacity to appreciate the consequences of their actions. All they need is to be taught by experience.
It doesn't matter what the specifics of any event are
No, it absolutely matters if you worship a man who raped a nine year old or not. How can you say it doesn't matter?
websites like jihadwatch, atlasshrugs, etc
I've never been to any of those sites. It's your holy texts that say she was nine.
An important thing to keep in mind is that the issue of aisha's age has always been of little importance
The fact that people don't care that their prophet may have raped a nine year old is not a good thing. Islam would do well to make it an issue of importance, and categorically denounce the portions of the Hadith that suggest Muhammed was a child rapist.
Nobody goes around using it as a justification for child abuse. Really? Nobody? Aren't child marriages somewhat normal in many islamic countries? Why wouldn't they use Aisha as a justification?
Psych patients don't feel better because they talk about things. They feel better because someone is listening to them about their problems
Bullshit. Listening does nothing. If you're not prepared to offer specific techniques to retrain a patients brain, you're no better than a phone psychic.
Psychologists get paid similar rates to admins, and all they have to do is sit and nod their head and spew nonsense. It looks a great way to have a middle class lifestyle without doing any actual work.

We're both right. Oxycodone affects both mu and kappa receptors, with mu agonism being responsible for most of its analgesic action.
Are pharmaceuticals not technology?
As much as you want your son back, nobody can do anything to make mu opioid agonists less addictive. Purdue's marketing is absolutely dishonest, but if they had a way to make opioid analgesics non-addictive they would make a huge pile of money by displacing every other opioid analgesic on the market.

oxycodone is different and acts through a different receptor
No, oxycodone acts primarily through the mu opioid receptor just like morphine.

Billy Mitchell demonstrated the vulnerability of modern warships in 1921.
And then went on to become the first person to ever achieve a perfect score in Pac-Man.

Hmmm, how long will it take to go from business intelligence tools to intelligence tools used against a population?
Is there a difference in the first place?
I stand corrected. Thanks.

Does it run Linux?
You're subtracting. Why are you doing that? "Dropping by 3X(three times)" is clearly referring to multiplication/division.
In every computer I own, the fans are louder than the hard disks. That's everything from my 6 drive RAID array to my 1988 Tandy 1000TX.

So the laws of physics still hold in Australia at least.
