In concept, locomotives and automobiles are similar - they are self-propelled vehicles. In practice, nobody wants a mega-car with a steam engine, so you had to wait until internal combustion came around to get one.
Right, but as it dehydrates, the percent THC content goes up - i.e., it gets more potent. The dispensary should be able to charge more per gram for a more potent product, since less of it is needed, no?
Out of curiosity, why does dehydration matter? I mean, don't people want to pay for dry plant matter rather than water? Water won't get you high^W^W^W treat your California-approved medical ailment.
Talking with a couple of friends who have lived in Europe, the thing they always miss most about the US is 24-hour shopping. From my much briefer travels abroad, I'm inclined to agree.
Despite what you've read elsewhere, and the strenuous efforts of a remarkably vocal segment of society to associate limited government with anarchy, the two are quite different. Other than a handful of totally stoned anarchists (none of whom I'd describe as conservative), I'm not aware of anyone who believes that there should be no laws or law enforcement. Nor am I aware of anyone who really thinks that actual theft of physical objects is OK.
Well, if you'd hate it, then it's definitely not for you. And if you truly don't care about long hours, low pay, and poor job security, because you love it so much, go for it.
The licensure process for foreign graduates is so arduous as to be nearly equivalent to starting over again as an incoming dental student in the US. By comparison, in medicine, foreign grads are at no particular legal disadvantage vis-a-vis American grads (although groups have a strong preference for hiring American med school graduates).
Plus, there are a lot of people with really disgusting teeth.
There may be too many mediocre science grads, but even graduates of really great programs have trouble.
Hint for the young: a career in science is almost certainly going to feature low pay and long hours. If you don't mind long hours, you'll be a lot better off going to med school (although this route will, like grad school, keep you poor throughout your twenties). If you want time off, become a teacher. If you want great hours and great money, become a dentist.
The article may be a shill (didn't read), but Maker's is definitely not an advertising-driven product. It's the best bourbon (and possibly the best whisky of any kind) in its price range, IMHO.
It's a premium product, and they charge accordingly. Beats the crap out of Jack Daniels. And it's been around a long time, though perhaps not in the UK. 1.75 L will run you just under $50 in the US, for price comparison.
My Time-Warner became Comcast in the big cable swap, but both had the same rule: cable internet home package is $55/mo, with a $10 discount if you have cable TV service. Coincidentally, the not-advertised-but-definitely-available Basic Cable (broadcast stations, Weather Channel, plus the filters never took out Natl Geo or Bravo) was $9.95/mo. I took the free-but-crappy cable. With an old ReplayTV DVR (free lifetime service), it actually gave us plenty to watch at any given time.
Before you take their cheapest advertised plan, be sure to ask (with them or your city govt) whether there is a cheaper unadvertised service plan available. There almost always is.
Then stop paying 20 million to produce that first copy.
My wife and I watch a fair number of premium channel shows - Californication, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, The Wire, True Blood, that kind of thing - and those shows do not happen without big budgets, both for sets/effects and for actors. You're basically asking for people to go back to accepting Blakes 7 as the epitome of television production values, while in reality TV today is generally as well produced as movies of 30-40 years ago.
I know why he's watching SDTV... he's got ReplayTV's. Phenomenal interface, features that were years ahead of TiVo, but high prices and the suits over Commercial Advance (skipped the whole break, not just 30 sec at a time) killed them. If ReplayTV had done TiVo Premiere, it would have killed the Scientific Atlanta crapboxes that cable providers give out. I gave away one of my old ReplayTV 3030's (dialup only, 120GB max HDD size, SDTV only) to a younger (=poorer) friend, and he's been using it for nearly two years. How many other tech toys are a decade old and still in daily use?
I, too, thought this was a nearly ironclad argument until someone pointed out that standard metric drywall and plywood are 1200mm x 2400 mm - just as easy to divide.
Soft drinks used to be sold in glass bottles. It's been too long for me to remember whether they were quart (~1 liter) or half-gallon (~2 liter) size, but when the switch was made to plastic in the 80s, it was SI all the way. No idea why; it's not as though soda is made for export (cheaper to export the flavoring and use local water).
In metric, you have different sized panels - 2400mm x 1200mm - which are designed to make carpentry math easy. They retain the easy divisibility by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, etc., while adding 10 and 5 to the list. Measuring tapes are done in mm only.
This is why the US hasn't converted - both systems, if used extensively, have a great deal of internal logic, but switching from one to the other instantly obsoletes everything that came before.
The meter was originally based on the size of the earth. It has been redefined in modern times to be a function of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Any measurement system must eventually be arbitrary; the difference is that SI is based entirely on powers of ten (as were the metric clock and calendar of the French Revolution, which have been discarded), while the older systems have a lot more things that are 12 x to the y.
Given the rarity with which I am actually called on my phone when not using it at work, I'll trade the talk-and-data and the lower speed in some markets for the fact that Verizon actually has a signal where I live and work, and AT&T doesn't. The greatest tech features mean nothing if I can't use them.
You're unclear on what a catalyst is, and how it works, and you definitely didn't think about the effect of the reaction you're describing.
Al(s) + 3NaOH(aq) -> Al(OH)3(aq) + 3Na(s) However, you just formed solid sodium in the midst of water, and so you will immediately get the follow-on reaction: 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2NaOH + H2
The total reaction series is: 2Al + 6NaOH -> 2Al(OH)3 + 6Na, followed by 6Na + 6H2O -> 6NaOH + 3H2
... the net of which is what I put in my post. The Na and NaOH cancel out.

Cugnot.

Especially since it's almost certainly a problem that the tobacco companies have solved in the past. All you need is a clean-burning binder.

Except violence and gore really seem to bother a lot of people. To Americans, not so much.
No. Though it's not as highly taxed as in Europe.

Where is my +1, Troll, when I need it?

All true, but they sold larger ones as well - bottles that served the same purpose as a 2L bottle does today.
