This is a giant leap for mankind, not just for the Chinese.
What? Landing on the back of the moon? Are you serious? We could have done this years ago if we wanted to. Also, what is the scientific value of this? I'm not being rhetorical, I honestly would like to know. Sure it's nice to learn more about the moon, but what's the big deal about the back?
Could be in a similar situation, but pretty sure not here. This was a long time ago (probably 20 years), and we later found out she had relationship issues and had moved back home. Also, at that particular time there were a ton of career options for her within the company. She definitely ghosted us though.
I'm a manager now, but I was just an employee for a long time (didn't want management stress). I understand the ghosting issues from both sides, and part of me would cheer an employee for just saying fuck it and disappearing.
Even a phone call or text message is still basic decency of saying "I won't be coming in any more".
We had a relatively new employee who was pretty good, and had been with us for a couple months. All signs pointed to her being a welcome addition. One morning her supervisor got a voice mail from her saying she was sick and wouldn't be coming in. Ok, fine. The next day he got another voice mail from her stating, "I won't be in again." Ok, fine. Must be the flu or something. Several days passed without notice and without the employee. We were left trying to figure out where she was and what was going on until one of us realized her voice mail meant, "I won't be in again. Ever." We never heard from her again. Shame really - she had potential, or so we thought.
DDG has positioned itself as a privacy-oriented search engine. I have used them almost exclusively for years. But search engines should be neutral. If it exists on the net, they should find it (except for criminally illegal content like child pr0n). But this action seems counter to that, and feels counter to their core beliefs. Sure, they market themselves as a SE that doesn't track you, but the demographic that uses them isn't going to be pleased by this.
Actually, it's a lot closer to the plot of Soma. A game that I VERY highly recommend. Deals with an underwater science base, a rogue AI, and consciousness transfer. What could go wrong?
Yeah, I'm a Gen-Xer and my parents were always VERY against drugs of any sort. Then later in life (late 70s, early 80s), my mom got cancer. My dad actually bought her some weed from a waitress they knew at a restaurant they frequented.
Unfortunately, he baked it into something and she definitely did NOT enjoy the edible experience. I wish they had talked to me about it before this happened instead of after. For the record, they lived in Arizona, and I'm in Wisconsin.
Your anti-cannabis attitude, whether troll or not, is in the minority here. Both at/. and in the United States as a whole. in the United States as a whole.
But he's rich enough that it's difficult for his friends and family to call him on his shit.
I don't know about that. In the interview his friends called him on his bullshit via text message within 5 mins of him taking a small puff off a joint.
And to address someone else's comment, no he didn't inhale. He breathed in enough to get the smoke into his mouth (not lungs), then let it out, frowned, and handed the joint back to Rogan. But clearly he has a problem with weed......
They're being accused. Great. But nothing will be done about it and they'll carry on like it never happened. I wish I was more believing, but the skepticism has been drilled into me by years of nothing happening to them.

I hadn't considered this, but I fear you may be correct...
Well, that's just dog abuse if you ask me. I'm going to build a cat-exclusionary dog shelter that shoots cats on sight.
>Don’t blame ME!
Step it up, dammit! You've got a lot of planet touching to do!

Calm down, Jeff.

This actually made me laugh out loud. WTF dude? :p

oops. I fail at HTML...

Rockets to go to Mars or wherever. Yes, it's cheaper to produce there; when you include shipping......
We're going to need something to put it in. I'll bring the mason jars.
Does everything I need it to, still. Rough around the edges here and there, but not rough enough for me to spend $600 to $1,000.

Sure, fired. Literally.
Jest stop it.
Yeah, Google has been doing it for as long as I remember too - on its desktop app. Now they do it on phones. I'm so excited....
please don't come here.
Won't be a problem.

Where does it mention marijuana anywhere? Synthetic cannabis != marijuana.
It's in the Global Drug Survey that is linked to in the Slashdot summary. SLASHDOT SUMMARY IS NOT THE ARTICLE!
