Most real luxury hotels have free wifi anyway. It's the upper-middle business places that charge. I've never paid for Internet at a place that was over $500/night.
A fast food chain probably did it as soon as they realized it takes more money to pay your employee to make drinks than you lose due to the free refills.
Internet is free at hotels catering to salesmen who pay their own way and at high end luxury hotels. Hotels catering to people on expense accounts charge.
Sorry, should have been more specific. We import specific products - blending products in particular, especially for the oxygenated blends required in certain metro areas in winter. American gasoline is a ridiculous mishmash of products required in different states, etc.
The US hasn't built any big new refineries in a while - like since the seventies. We actually import refined products like gasoline to meet our needs. Source. Some big upgrades have been done, but we're not bringing lots of new capacity online.
Some would hand them back to the people they were taken from. Others would use them to fund other projects that give better return on investment. Still others would use them to reduce debt. All three are better choices than the current use.
I have to confess a small amount of evil laughing occurs whenever drug-related topics come up, because someone who doesn't know the subject always tries to argue with me.
I realized that I wasn't cut out for lab work. The stuff you learned was interesting and I enjoyed grad school classes much more than med school classes, but I wasn't making good progress and I realized I was wasting everyone's time.
Alcohol, benzos, and barbiturates all potentiate the GABAergic systems of the brain - the inhibitory pathways. Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to their presence and more or less compensates - this is why chronic alcoholics can tolerate blood alcohol levels that would be immediately fatal to most people, and how some people can actually function while taking Xanax (as opposed to having ten-hour chunks of their life simply forgotten).
However, if you abruptly discontinue these drugs when they are being regularly consumed at high doses, the resulting hyperactivity of the brain and nervous system can prove fatal - if you'd like a nice, detailed view, look up delirium tremens.
Sorry, accidental early post. I've seen them in clinical practice, of course, and since I'm an anesthesiologist I have to account for these things professionally. I've also long had an interest in pharmacology as a science.
I'm an anesthesiologist who majored in chemistry in undergrad. Back when I thought I wanted two doctorates, I did a couple of years of work with the opioid systems of the brain. (I didn't finish the PhD, but I did put a fair number of rats through opioid withdrawal.)
I seriously doubt it. I've never used heroin or cocaine; heroin never appealed to me and cocaine seemed like the kind of thing I couldn't trust myself with. The illegality is a pretty minor thing by comparison.
Heroin withdrawal is not fatal. Alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates are the three drug classes with life threatening withdrawal syndromes. Heroin withdrawal is still extraordinarily unpleasant, but it's not deadly.
You don't have to be under oath. Lying to the police is a crime in itself, which is one of the main reasons you should never talk to the police. Even completely honest people make mistakes in speech.

That was really fucking stupid.

The integrated glucometer.
It is for type I diabetics, whose distinguishing characteristic is that they can't make more than trace amounts of insulin.

A person who knowingly makes a false or misleading material statement to a public servant is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

They didn't have a choice either way.
That's pretty far out on a limb to go, but sure. It could happen.
I myself never inject anything less than 97 octane.

The problem with this drug isn't so much the drug as the incredibly low purity standards.

Federal judges don't let people do that sort of thing. And they have lots of power.

Martha Stewart and shabby chic are about as closely related as vi and emacs.
