Not really. It depends on how seriously a drug can effect a person's life. A few decades before Prohibition almost all drugs *were* legal. Opium parlors were found in most large cities, Coca Cola really did have cocaine. The social problems caused by drug use were serious enough that laws were passed restricting their sales. Prohibition took it a step further, but that turned out to be too much, so it was repealed.
The problem was explained quite clearly by Miss Suuth Carolina a few years ago. By the way, can you find Bolivia on a map?
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future [for our children].
No, but it should be corroborated by something. The author admits that the entire article is based on a junior enlisted man hearing one side of a phone conversation about a radio message that everyone involved agreed didn't make sense:
According to Bordne's account—which, recall, is based on hearing just one side of a phone call
He theorized that organisms adapt to their environment. If the environment causes stress in the parents you should expect to see changes in the offspring as a result.
The people who come after us (and those with a clue today) realize that video conferencing makes most business travel unnecessary. So now you're left with vacationers going from SF to LA - no need for this train to service that crowd.
The point of HSR is to make valuable real estate less concentrated.
That's not what this pork project will do. It is not a commuter railway. And besides, what you describe only moves the valuable real estate to some other location (near the train stops), it doesn't solve any problems.
I'm wondering if you RTFA. Nah, you obviously didn't.
Devices using such an application might be used for desalination projects, the team notes, and of course in solar energy collecting systems, and perhaps in optical interconnects. They also suggest the material might even lead to using a wholly new approach in the design of such devices.
The summary doesn't say it, but the issue here is fracking.
Did you read the summary? Its entire focus is that the recent earthquake swarm is caused by fracking (unlike the many similar earthquake swarms that area has had in the past, apparently).
This raises major questions for the legality of fracking, which has been linked to the increased number of earthquakes striking Oklahoma
Simple organic compounds are all over space. There's no reason to toss a few more out there; if a planet is in a life-friendly zone it probably already has the basic building block needed for life.
I would agree with you if there was reason to believe she actually read those books. But pumping out canned reviews on books she got for free and then resold doesn't sound all that altruistic.

Alcohol prohibition proves you wrong.

Most importantly, if you have not experimented with a cheap smartphone, try it now
But don't put your invention in a metal box and bring it to school.

the days of decades-long careers in corporate environments dwindling for many IT pros
Those days never existed. Hiring and layoffs have always been based on skills needed this year.

What is really out there
He theorized that organisms adapt to their environment. If the environment causes stress in the parents you should expect to see changes in the offspring as a result.
If a 15 y/o breaks into your house and steals your laptop is it less of a crime?
Good catch. That really underscores the difference between installed capacity and actual capacity.
As I understand it the US has about 18GW of solar PV installed capacity with about a 28% capacity factor - so roughly 5 GW of actual power generation.
These two reactors together will generate about 2.2GW with a 90% factor, or around 2 GW.
One power plant, 40% of the capacity of all PV in the country.
coding is writing text files in foreign languages containing instructions suitable for an absolute idiot to follow
The hard part isn't writing code. The hard part is knowing what code to write.
So we shouldn't build huge cities out in the middle of tropical oceans? Okay.
.Wuite=Quite, table=tablet, me=too much beer
"The only real niggle right now with the Fire Tablet is the display (and the camera, if you really want to take photos with your tablet).
What else is there to a table besides the display and the camera?
It's for the people who come after us
The people who come after us (and those with a clue today) realize that video conferencing makes most business travel unnecessary. So now you're left with vacationers going from SF to LA - no need for this train to service that crowd.
Are you high? It's for politicians to get massive kickbacks and "financing".
Right. Add who will be paying those kickbacks? The unions.

Then have a talk with the author of this non-sense commit about wasting corporate resources.
Stern talk, as in "Clean out your desk." I would have zero tolerance for childish pranks like this.
Either that, or the lawsuit had no merit.
No, crime is way up in cities where the protests were biggest. Baltimore and St. Louis in particular.
Solar thermal has the advantage of being low-tech and scalable
What part of this project is "low-tech"? I must have missed that when I read the article.
I would agree with you if there was reason to believe she actually read those books. But pumping out canned reviews on books she got for free and then resold doesn't sound all that altruistic.
