Until you burn it in order to inhale it and then things start getting tricky. Also the level of tar in high THC concentration weed is much higher than that of cigarettes.
Again, I ask the question to you and anyone else. We have progressed through disease, famine, war, natural disasters and for the lasts 3 million years we've evolved into who we are now with 7 billion people on earth and yet, we are being told that progress must halt because of warming. Why? How did we get to this point with all of the adversity of simply living to have the highest standards of living and ways of life never seen by anyone before in human history. Even the utter destitute have fared by orders of magnitudes better then their predecessors. And yet we are being told we are doomed if we don't do something.
All the while people like you invoke special interests and greed as a reason for why we live the way we do and totally and utterly ignore what is before you. The way you are living now, which is better than anyone else ever.
If you want to hobble yourself for the sake of stopping global warming, you go ahead and do that, but do not presume to make or force others to follow suit and resist the temptation to castigate others who don't subscribe to your ideas on the subject.
That's not a supernatural power. It's not even a power. Our eyes can detect visible light between a certain spectra. Should that be a supernatural power? Some species can see in infrared and ultraviolet. Should that be a supernatural power?
How about any civilization in a galaxy at the edge of the universe. Is that even possible? What would they see on one side? Darkness and light on the other as they looked out into their neck of the cosmos?
As long as government subsidizes universities and backs student loans, then universities will further increase their tuition rates to even higher levels, sit on mountains of wealth, pay their faculty and administrations ridiculous salaries, etc. This is a direct result of government intervention into academia and this is the outcome. Thanks government.
That's a nice flowery speech, but the four pillars of capitalism stand as such:
Be #1 in your market
Crush all of your competition
Provide the best service or goods for the least amount of money
Generate as much profit as possible
Finland would just be cutting out the middle man, itself, for the overhead costs of administering a welfare system, but a minimum income system is fraught with it's own perils. For example, will they factor for increased costs in inflation? Is there a minimum age? Will there be a maximum age? Will there be exceptions? No one knows any of these details, but let's also remember that Finland is a small population country who's population over the decades has made collective decisions that this is what they want their countries to be.
Offensive speech is acceptable speech. You may not like it and that's fine and I don't either, but I accept the fact that people can and do use it and I'm not offended by it. You can play at faux gasping whenever you read or hear 'offensive' speech, but don't pretend that Ellen Pao was some king of positive social justice warrior for change at Reddit. She was thinking that she could use Reddit as a platform for her particular brand of dominance and could lift her leg and mark her territory all over it and she failed.
And that's how a currency manipulating country gets it's due. They brought this on themselves when everyone was telling them to stop it or else. Well, else just showed up.
1. that is irrelevant and shouldn't be legally chargable.
2. again, very irelevant.
3. that is actionable.
4. irrelevant, but salacious.
We can speculate in the public sphere all we want, but I sort of pray for day when we can leave people alone and keep out of each others business. Just because someone withdraws structured money over a length of time may look suspicious, but it is not of the governments business unless they can show probable cause, get a warrant and look at what's going on. The fact that they approached hastert outside of a warrant (i'm assuming that's what they did) and he lied to them to protect his secret is something I think could be actionable, but ultimately should be thrown out. This sounds like scooter libby all over again.
No one has even determined that it's blackmail. It's only been labelled that way to create a salacious story for alleged misconduct that there hasn't been any evidence of. I'll wait to see it before I call it what it is.
" However that doesn't make the laws bullshit."
Actually it does. When a law is used as blunt force instrument like RICO statues outside of their intended need, then government is overstepping it's authority to charge based on some other perceived crime. I'm not a Hastert fan, but the fact that he isn't being charged with sexual misconduct is for one reason, statute of limitations and the fact that there is probably little to no evidence a crime actually occurred. You have two people that have come to an agreement to exchange money. That in and of itself is neither a crime nor requires government scrutiny regardless of the 'patterns' government is observing you make. So yeah, the law is bullshit.

I'm going to be a total asshole and say that this entire interview could have been put into a transcript format and done away with the video. I do not want to watch two doddering geezers make puntastic quips while one drones on through his dentures and the other is nasaling his way through the topic with the occasional grainy video.
I went from 70's rock/disco then later to punk in the late 70's to new wave in the 80's, hair metal in the mid-80's, detested grunge throughout it's short and useless life and basically graduated to electronica/house and various forms of metal ever since and haven't looked back. Skipped pop and modern hip-hop too. Although the classic hip-hop i still enjoy.
Idiocracy. Stupid people who have ceded their lives to tech and are dumber for it, while the oligarchs or technocrats tell them who to vote for so that the gravy train keeps rolling on until the house of cards just collapses under its own weight.

Yes, but will it play Crysis though?

Is she related to Ellen Pao?

rooted in nonsense. it's new age junk science posing as biological imperative. These people are rancidly stupid with more money than sense.

So the take away from this is, you identify the 25% of vehicles, remove them and you remove 90% of the pollutants. Then what?
