    My republican co workers assured me that Obamacare would cause our company to go under because healthcare costs would skyrocket. They're actually saving close to 200 dollars per employee, and whenever I ask them about it they get angry and change the subject to christian hate crimes or syria.

    The ban hammer was heavy that day.

    It was probably more like
    Manager: "here is a change I need you to make to lines X thru Z"
    Software Engineers: "ok, that's our job"

    My last boss was the best kind of sociopath. He once overheard some employees talking about how maybe someday his car would lose control and he would Paul Walker himself, so he started spying on them and pulled some emails where they made similar jokes and fired them.

    That shouldn't be too hard considering that money isn't a real thing.

    You're leaving out the energy required to farm and grow the plant. The energy required to manufacture the rolling paper and the adhesive on the rolling paper, including the packaging the papers and marijuana were packaged in (most likely cardboard and plastics). It probably evens out.

  7. Re: Air safety relies on enforcement of rules on FAA Proposes $1.9 Million Fine For Unauthorized Drone Use · · Score: 1

    Why is this considered new territory though? RC model aircraft have been around for as long as I can remember. People fly them in the ball field near my house, helicopters, planes, one guy has a jet (loud) a couple of people bring their quad copters. We never had news stories of people flying their model p-58 mustang into the path of a CESSNA before. Is it because people with model aircraft are typically flying enthusiasts that understand and respect the regulations, whereas drone operators are just ignorant dweebs with some spending money? I seriously don't understand why quadro copters are not covered under the same regulations as other model aircraft.

    Because people don't back their shit up.
