Because gas stations are no longer gas stations manned by trained mechanics. They are convenience stores, manned by people who generally don't have any control or technical knowledge of the pumps. Prices are set over the internet. About all the cashier can do is put a yellow bag over the handle if there's a complaint about a pump, and call it in.
So can alcohol - and that's a far more commonly-used and available drug.
In which the effect is far less pronounced.
Someone who is already a danger to kill someone is slightly more of a danger on alcohol.
Someone who is no danger can be made very dangerous on antidepressants. Antidepressants won't just fiddle with inhibition and judgment. They can create psychotic breaks.
The nose is a metaphor for a vessel for chemical interaction. Your nose and my nose are two different objects, no more or less than our noses and a black hole's nose are three different objects. The effect of them is the same. Chemical reaction.
It's a separate charge, in that the judge can have the defendant charged with perjury and made to pay for that even if he wins the original case.
But perjury is moot here. The judge isn't charging anyone with perjury. She is merely saying that lying about the crime makes the punishment worse when there is discretion about the punishment. You get slack when you're (a) naive about your crime and (b) remorseful about it, not when you're (c) fully aware you're breaking the law and (d) willing to waste the court's time and risk further charges by lying about what you did.
Judges hate adding paperwork to cases, so putting them in that position by raising the possibility of having to do you for perjury or contempt really pisses them off, guaranteeing you'll get hammered for the original offense.
As population grows, eventually there will be enough people to entirely cover the surface of the earth one person deep. As population grows further, the depth of humans will increase, pushing the surface of the human-earth outward. Given the current population growth rate, how long, in years, will it be until the human-earth surface is expanding outward at the speed of light?
That's a piss-poor artist's rendition that on the one hand has a silly sun being slurped up like spaghetti by a black hole, and on the other hand has a depiction of the sort of jet that actually occurs at the poles of a spinning black hole.
The actual "bubble" is diffusion of the jet into gas somewhere off in the direction of the black hole, and is not depicted in that image.
smell is chemical. therefore it's based on the interaction of electron clouds around atoms in particular configurations within molecules. therefore it acts by means of the electromagnetic force. therefore it's mediated by virtual photons. virtual photons are light. light can go only one direction in a black hole, and that's down. so the black hole can't smell it because the virtual photons of its nose can't interact with the virtual photons of the gas outside the black hole to indicate that there are electrons, atoms, and molecules there.
They throw ideas against the wall and see what makes a profit.
If they drive the company out of business in the process, well, they can't be sued by shareholders for being incompetent at judging risk. That's what "limited liability" means. That's what they learned in B-school. Not how to make smart decisions, but how to count the money coming in from decisions that worked.
It would be more awesome if someone started a campaign to inform the public that Hollywood loses money every time someone buys a ticket.
We could start a grass-roots movement to get a law passed to stop this pernicious damage to the economy. The law would make it a crime to possess a ticket even for personal use.
Enforcement couldn't be easier. Ushers are already in uniforms, just give them badges and coupons for low monthly rates on 911 calls through their mobile carriers...
You're paying them to learn from them, so they get most upset when you cheat to get good grades or graduate undeservedly.
Then you get a good job, what you think is good pay (entry-level pay for almost any job is laughable, btw), and fail your assignments dreadfully and get a reputation as dead weight.
Your raises suck, you get fired or laid off more than once since you're neither productive nor creative, and by the time you're a few years out of school you're broke and thinking about changing careers.
So, imo, schools shouldn't be interceding in cheating. They should simply be pointing out that the value of a degree is fleeting, and unless you actually have the qualities the degree implies you won't get much out of having gone to college.
But for some reason they don't want to admit how little degrees really mean, and that you don't have to pay enormous amounts of money to over-rated schools to be confirmed to be intelligent and resourceful. So they will continue to make a big deal about catching cheaters.

Wait.. are you nostalgic for the days when cars needed repairs as frequently as they needed fill-ups?
If you are, there's always motorcycles...
Send me 99 cents and I'll fix that fer ya.
What person has to review the transaction?
if the 99 cents shows up, the account is legit.
Of course, nobody ever got a credit card for their dog, did they?
Yeah, but it's full of giant gorillas and lesbian warriors.
I don't need my ego shoved in a drawer every day like that.

it's all greek to me
So what you're saying is your music doesn't make any money, but their marketing does.
So why should they pay you?
It can also make them homocidal. So putting people on these things is a danger to us all, not just to them.
The nose is a metaphor for a vessel for chemical interaction. Your nose and my nose are two different objects, no more or less than our noses and a black hole's nose are three different objects. The effect of them is the same. Chemical reaction.
What it lacks is a trained palate.
Assets and money are different things.

Okay. Now do this one:
As population grows, eventually there will be enough people to entirely cover the surface of the earth one person deep. As population grows further, the depth of humans will increase, pushing the surface of the human-earth outward. Given the current population growth rate, how long, in years, will it be until the human-earth surface is expanding outward at the speed of light?
Hint: it's a 4-digit number.

Not so much emit as throw away, as a fat kid does with the a wrapper around a candy bar.

so there, smartypants.
Yeah, that one was funny.
I'm not clicking on that.
MBAs don't have foresight.
They throw ideas against the wall and see what makes a profit.
If they drive the company out of business in the process, well, they can't be sued by shareholders for being incompetent at judging risk. That's what "limited liability" means. That's what they learned in B-school. Not how to make smart decisions, but how to count the money coming in from decisions that worked.
Which means in this instance it was feedback about privacy that drove their business decision.
Tomorrow it will be profit margins from merchandising tie-ins.

Wow, when did Bruce Schneier become Chuck Norris?
For that matter, when did Chuck Norris become Chuck Norris?
Life is like a box of chocolates...where someone has eaten the middle out of every one.
