    I mean, what could go wrong? "People buy our stuff whether it's good or not! Surely, they will continue to do that forever. Dividends for everyone!"

    You are purposefully combining the desperate with the insane.

    Right. The idea of scheduling drugs is a good one, but as it has been implemented it is completely ridiculous.

  5. Use versus abuse. They aren't meant to be used at recreational quantities for extended periods.

  6. The idea isn't for the patients to use it regularly. Rather, it is for patients to get into a super receptive and open state so that standard psychotherapy can do its thing. So you might go inpatient once a month for a few months for extended sessions and then be done. Same thing with LSD, ibogaine and other psychadelics.

    It's higher octane so you can run higher compression.

    Oh stop. If a 2004 can't handle a little ethanol, your beef is with your manufacturer, not ethanol. Ethanol has been in gasoline for decades now. Also, guess what? 25 year old cars have gaskets and fuel lines that fail.

    I have some old ass lawn equipment that has always been fed e10. It's all been fine. The 1999 lawn tractor needs its carburetor rebuilt, but what 17 year old carburetor doesn't need to be rebuilt. Chainsaws, trimmers and the rest are either all still running, were stolen or the motors outlived the rest of the machines. My shitty snowblower started on the first pull last month on whatever shit was left in the tank from last year. If ethanol chemically affected seals and whatnot, EVERY machine made from the same materials would fail.

    Fuel injectors made since never? I'm pretty sure ethanol in fuel has been a thing since the fuel injector was mainstreamed.

    Do you really think they haven't thought of that? Also, how is this magical air getting into the tanks? They are sealed, AND gasoline has a vapor pressure higher than atmospheric, so it will always want to evaporate before air wants to sneak in.

    That's what conservatives always say when they are cornered by a difficult truth: "yeah, well, they all do it!" No, they don't, and even if they do that doesn't make it OK.

  17. They are too busy ignoring street crime to mess with your fancy questions. Blue Lives Matter!

    There is a big difference between individual liberty to visit bookstores, churches and social clubs as we wish, and business's "liberty" to just put sawdust on the shelf and call it food. When this fly-by-night company is incorporated, the individuals are by law not responsible. You SHOULD have to prove your product is what the label says it is before you can offer it for sale. If that is prior restraint, then I'm all for it.

    Except both guys were carrying guns. They just weren't as afraid of the white guy, so they didn't frisk him and just issued a summons. They threw the black guy on the ground, called the dogs and tossed his automobile. When you correct for socioeconomic status and urban versus rural, racial differences in crime all but disappear.

    Except that's complete nonsense. Conservatives have been responsible for the vast majority of new spending in the last decades. They sign the laws and then blame the liberals for the costs. Conservatives just use the budget excuse to complain about things they don't want to do.
