Schedule 1 drugs are mostly hallucinogenic, so cannabis fits right in. It certainly fits better in that schedule than in schedule 2, with cocaine, methamphetamine, morphine, and all of the really dangerous and heavily abused drugs.
I've gotten way more news of what crimes are occurring from university police than from any city police. They're especially vocal about any rape or assault cases because the University want the students to know that they're "keeping them safe" or whatever.
Pick a university and try to find their reporting page. For example: UC Davis Police daily logs. By federal law, they're required to publish these logs.
For me, as a German, the fact that campus police actually exists, already sounds crazy.
Exactly what about it sounds crazy? Are your campuses not under any police jurisdiction at all?
From your "military grade gear" comment (which I've never seen, but mostly just sounds silly), I'm assuming that you're assuming that because there are police, that they're generally oppressing students and shooting them with "military grade gear". The fact that this thug's pepper spray stunt made the national news should pretty clearly demonstrate that that's not the case.
I'm way more freaked out by police and soldiers at airports with rifles and submachine guns, like you commonly see in Europe, than university police helping me jump start my car late at night (even if they are using military grade jumper cables).
It's generally not a bad thing. University police are typically much more responsive to the needs of the students and faculty and can pursue and investigate crimes that would be too small for the city's police to bother with.
The campus cops at every university I've been at were friendly and helpful, which is a stark comparison to the disposition of most police. They more closely resemble the beat cops of many generations ago in that they actually interact with the bulk of the population instead of sitting in their cars, distanced from any law abiding citizens, until it's time to get out and shoot a fleeing criminal in the back.
Most police here are steeped in the us-vs-them mentality, where the public is the enemy, and that isn't generally the case with university police (the above mentioned guy is an obvious exception). From talking to some university police, they generally enjoy their job and actually feel connected to the students and faculty instead of suspicious of them.
The highest paying gov't job on the first page of USAJOBS results was $300k, which I wouldn't call "low six figures". I work with several people who make more than Congressmen and my own salary is approaching that.
A handkerchief is great for taking care of allergies or a profusely running nose when you don't have the luxury of a trashcan to accumulate all of the tissue garbage. If you're outdoors with a simple runny nose, but not disgusting thick illness mucus, a handkerchief is much more useful than a wet, disintegrating paper tissue (or an ever increasingly stuffed wet pocketful of them).
The problem with nuclear power is the cost. If you can find a way to make it cost competitive, then by all means, promote that idea. Complaining about it it doesn't seem like a useful strategy to solve the problem.
Well, we could have prevented massive climate change and big swaths of land being consumed by the rising seas, but it just wasn't cost competitive at the time. Profits would have sagged that quarter. Humanity in a nutshell.
My way of getting back at them though is that these same people are often fans of a work based on cherry picked data called The China Study, talk about how wonderful Eastern medicine (such as acupuncture) is...
Aww, I thought that you were going to tell them that you're already taking the maximum dose of tiger penis and rhino horn.
The device does detect if you are holding it in either a left or right hand and flips the screen vertically, so it will handle your case (to a degree).
Sweet! So like autorotation on phones, it'll totally freak out when you're reading it while lying down. Good thing that people never read books in bed, right?
Inevitably they get scraped against a wall (etc) and damaged. Bad enough when it's a 20-dollar cheap-o, let alone a "wrist computer" that cost hundreds.
This is something that can be eliminated/mitigated with a better design and choice of construction materials. Sapphire lenses and good overall design will prevent damage from contact with all but the most extreme walls. You don't get that with a $20 watch, but anything over $100 should use better materials. I think (?) that the Apple watch has a sapphire lens.
I wear a watch because I have since I was a kid and I appreciate not pulling my phone out of my pocket to tell the time, but it's not a flashy piece of jewelry. That doesn't mean that it has to be a piece of junk either. (That said, I have zero interest in Apple's watch.)
The Constitution is the sole source of all of the federal government's powers, so if an agency (or its role) is not provided for in the Constitution, it's unconstitutional.
They're allowed to be established by Congress so long as they don't actually violate the Constitution.
Exceeding the powers that the Constitution grants to the federal government is unconstitutional... full stop. Or are you one of those people who think that anything the government does is allowed unless it infringes on the Bill of Rights?
The karma system was shit. "Stealing" from the people who just tried to kill you is bad, mmkay?
That part is still broken in FO4, too. Wiping out an entire settlement is ok and the companion will even help out, but "Codsworth didn't like that" when you "steal" the stuff they left behind.
Even with an SSD, there is way too much waiting at load screens. My PC has 32 GB of RAM sitting unused by the game as it reloads the areas from disk over and over again. If I enter, exit, then reenter the same building, the areas are reloaded from disk every time. When I'm approaching a building, there's no disk activity at all when the game should be preloading adjacent areas.
Consoles are to blame, but not in the way you're suggesting.
Most people are "cut you off in traffic" assholes, not "plant a nuclear bomb in downtown Manhattan" assholes. Most people are good in that they're not violent criminals, even if they are uncourteous (and Americans are not even close to being the most uncourteous people in the world).
Google is intentionally bricking hardware that I own. That's a pretty blatant "fuck you" to every person who trusted in them and bought their hardware.
How many times has Google said "fuck you" to people who trusted them and how many times have those people returned to Google for more? Who actually trusts Google anymore?
Cortana, the phone assistant, is a pulsing blue circle and not an anthropomorphized character at all. Also, on the Windows phone I used, Cortana was a male voice by default (Cortano?).
In fact my grandmother was a Christian Scientist and they seem to be about the least evangelical and proselytizing of pretty much any Christian denomination.
The theology is pretty weird, but it's more or less a gnostic Christianity that deemphasizes the supplication and authority worship of mainstream Christianity. The rejection of medicine can be disastrous and the founder was a nut, but it doesn't seem any crazier than any other religion.
My grandfather was one, too, which makes sense in the context of him being a highly independent and intelligent man in a time where religion was pretty much a required part of people's life (ie, he had to pick something). I didn't even know what he believed until a fairly recent conversation.
Reread the sentence that you quoted. I want them to stay at home, lay around, and get fatter and more drunk. Having to interact with them and work around the negative value that they bring to any endeavor is a far greater cost to society than just paying for them to get the fuck out of the way.
Making idiots like that work is why we have HR departments and pointy haired bosses and little shits who spit in your food and... Do you see what I'm saying? All of these people would rather stay home and watch TV and the world is a worse place because they are forced to venture out into it. Trying to make them pull their weight only makes the load heavier for all of the rest of us.

The notification aspect is handy when you're driving as well -- it gives you a little tap before you're supposed to turn to "wake you up".
That's a scary thought, but it explains the frustrations of commuting with other drivers pretty well. I can't wait for autonomous cars to come.

Awesome, it also forces you to correct your mistakes.

The same issues happen on a PC.

Ha! Classic.
Nerd rage is the funniest kind of rage!
Ha ha. I remember you now! You're that internet tough guy from a little while ago. How's that working out for you?
Are you actually saying that they're, their, and there all mean the same thing now? That's a pretty fluent [sic] language we have.
Reread the sentence that you quoted. I want them to stay at home, lay around, and get fatter and more drunk. Having to interact with them and work around the negative value that they bring to any endeavor is a far greater cost to society than just paying for them to get the fuck out of the way.

Not that quickly, it doesn't. They're, their, and there still mean the same things they did back when they failed remedial English class.
