What does it matter that your driving license expired? It's still valid ID. It just means that you can't drive until you have a new one. It has your name, DOB and details as well as a picture and these don't change between licences.
What are they going to say? This expired a few days ago, it's not you anymore?
On a side note, I just moved to Australia to work for a year, and dug out my old-style UK drving licence (large bit of paper, no photo) as I hadn't ever gotten round to sending off for a new driver's licence. Expiry date is 2047, the day before my 70th birthday, when I would need to take another test. I don't know if the newer licences have expiry dates or not, but I presume they do as these things are great revenue-generators. I'll be holding onto my old licence as long as it still works. Raised a few eyebrows when I got car insurance in Oz but it worked.
What if I go to the US for my honeymoon with my 16 year old wife? I can't shag her. Even a fucking blow job would be a crime in some of the states.
Maybe I should go to Thailand instead.
You could even just type in your plans in plain text, on the site of your choice. It'll get modded down soon most likely, but no-one would pay attention anyway.
If you knew which site it was on and which topic, or time of day, or which journal it would be posted in, or whatever, you can look it straight up. Or google a key phrase or nonsense words. Everyone else will ignore the explicit instructions until the retrospectoscope gets turned on.

PPS be funny if anyone sees that and doesn't turn up for work that day
Just like 99.99% of people have friends who know how to work computers and could set up an email server and give all their friends email accounts? Sounds like a great point.
I mean, why would anyone use internet email when they could just do that?
Usually dose is more dependent on age than anything else. Dosages are rarely much different, although trauma patients do need a bit more oomph. As long as you watch for opiate toxicity, there is no maximum dose. Tolerance gives you less of a safety window as the maximum dose is still the same but the amount needed to give the same effect is more.
I routinely write on any morphine prescription "Patient awake, in pain, and respiratory rate over 10" (number of breaths per minute). Overdose gives respiratory depression (hence slow breathing). Pupil size (small) is a marker for opiate use but not useful for toxicity. Coma too, but sometimes you can get coma without respiratory depression.
PS of course I use abbreviations when I write that so no-one can understand it. Forunately they never question it because they can't read my writing.
You pirate! People like you make the internet a bad place. The RIAA will be subpoena-ing Slashdot to get your IP with evidence like that so freely available.
You can die from drinking too much water. It just dilutes your blood so that the salts in it are dangerously low. Osmosis means that the water will diffuse into cells, leading to cerebral oedema amongst other things.
There have been a few ecstacy deaths, e.g. Leah Betts (English girl, about 17 I think) from this mechanism, as they have been told to keep dehydrated (previously, people had died because they'd danced to dangerous dehydration) but if you don't dance and sweat, you are just loading yourself up with water.
Having too low salts in your blood is dangerous as well. Low sodium can cause confusion and seizures, which can kill.
Ecstacy can upset the body's perception of thirst and ability to thermoregulate, so hyperthermia can get you too without the sensation of thirst that you overconfidently claim will happen.
The government's stance on drugs may at times be unreasonable, but to claim it makes up this stuff seems a bit ridiculous when you clearly don't have the first idea what you're takling about, and your examples of government lies are all actually truths.
I'm not sure about these medical acquaintances you speak of, they are either figments of your imagination or incompetent, as this is very basic medical science, learned in the first year of medical school and relevant throughout a career. My knowledge on the other hand is certainly correct, and my credentials include such things as a medical degree and a fair amount of neurosurgical experience.
I always say that first. Closely followed by other stuff, like my name or where I'm answering from (in a hospital, usually something like "hello, Ward 103, can I help you?" or some such thing.
I never tell them who I am at work though. No-one would ever ask for me by name so it avoids them taking the opportunity to quiz me on the health of their relative and instead I can just pass the call on to someone else.
I have also mastered complete ignorance of the noise of the phone, so I can usually out-wait anyone within hearing distance so they answer it first.
The only way sexually transmitted diseases are 100% preventable are if you exercise abstinence. For a lot of people, that's not a viable option, just as the only way to truly secure your machine is by keeping it unplugged.
Condoms, virus checkers, and some knowledge of network security will go some way towards things, but what you are proposing amounts to blaming someone who's burgled because they didn't research their locks properly, didn't modify the lock they bought with the latest security features, and didn't know locks inside-out before even buying a door.
Expecting everyone with a computer to secure it is unrealistic. Ideally the software manufacturers should take this into account, but there will always be bugs and exploits.
You are of course correct. Colour and aesthetics are irrelevant. That is why the fashion industry does not exist, and you wear a sack cloth to work.
There are lots of reasons why this will sell. It's in a niche, whether that's because of aesthetics, light weight (e.g. for joggers), or because some people don't have enough music that they would want to listen to at one time to fill any more.
It might not fit into your niche, but that doesn't change anything.
Can't you see? Those planes were fuelled by refined OIL. The flames were due to that same OIL. All that terrorist OIL, needing to be liberated! GWB is the man! I only wish you understood what you were talking about, ignorance like yours makes me want to pee my pants, in fact I just did!!!!!! LOLOL ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
And all that stuff about the US already having plans to invade Iraq before September the 11th - it's all true! Because Uncle George (he's so much better than Uncle Sam!) is SOOO clever and smart that he knew about it even before it happened!!!! I bet he's in there right now, beating up Saddam and forcing him to tell the CIA and the FBI and the NYPD Blue where Osama is! And once we get that out of him, they'll be straight onto it, we can liberate all the terrorist oil and I'm getting so excited I want to poo my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was no need to bring the conversation to this. No need.
You think a speculum exam is bad? Try working in A&E (ER to you yanks) at 4 in the morning when some chick comes in because she's lost a condom on the job and you have to dig it out from her semen-filled snatch. Eeewww.
I am a brit, and I do like my beers, but my knowledge is limited to the fact that I was indignant when I was first served an American pint, and pleased when I got back home. The details (As you can see from my previous post) escape me... but i don't really care. I just like my pint to be the same size as I expect it, or suitably less expensive if it's smaller.
That's not a bad thing, unless you mean they'll be using those crazy american pints (12 Oz?) rather than proper wholesome British pints (16 Oz I think).

I think it's more likely in the above case that France would see the advertised munitions and surrender.

Is that theatres or theaters?
It depends. What if that original $1 billion was in fact $700 million rounded up? Then after the fine they would have $0 billion.

Sounds like the US is in need of a good ass-whomping by the UK, courtesy of HM Lizzy! Didn't you learn from last time?
