Wrong. CBD inhibits a gene that causes cancer cells to spread, it doesn't actually kill the cancer cells (they would just die from old age or you could combine the CBD with a standard chemo / radiotherapy that does kill the cells). From a different article I read today: "The compound found in cannabis, called cannabidiol (CBD), inhibits a gene, Id-1, that researchers believe is responsible for the metastatic process that spreads cells from the original tumor throughout the body."
Also, this gene is important in the spread of other types of cancers: ""[...] what is exciting about this study is that if CBD can inhibit Id-1 in breast cancer cells, then it may also prove effective at stopping the spread of cancer cells in other forms of the disease, such as colon and brain or prostate cancer," said lead author Dr. Pierre-Yves Desprez."
Sorta like those idiots you see on tv that win the lotto then a reporter asks them what they are going to do and they say they are going back to work at wal-mart tomorrow lol. I would say to the reporter "Well, for asking such a stupid question, I'll be buying your tv station tomorrow and firing you.":)
The ABS just went out on my truck last week and man I love it, it stops sooo much better on icy corners when you can lock the tires up and actually dig into the snow/ice (I live in the woods).. Then I was playing around with it on some icy back roads doing controlled slides with it and just loved it, when I get it fixed im going to figure out how to disable the ABS somehow so the light doesnt come on:)
Yeah right, like they won't just have in-show ad's AND the same amount of ad "breaks" as usual. It's all about the money. It's funny watching these 20 year old vhs tapes I have of old tv shows (the ones that aren't too degraded to play anyways), When they went to an ad break back then it was 2-3 ads tops and maybe 1-1.5 mins of ads vs 5+ and 3-5 mins nowadays. I really don't see the trend of ever increasing ads stopping anytime soon.
How small are they compared to bacteria? I know I sometimes take Acidophilus bacteria pills since it's good for your digestive system and there are 2.5 billion bacteria in a 300mg or so pill... so 1 million spores in a whole pillow seems like absolutely nothing.
The Mackinac Bridge here in michigan is 5 miles long, and held the record for longest suspension span until 1998 at 3/4 mile or so... Is this bridge just being built with NO middle column??
Anyways are some fun links for the Mackinac Bridge (that nobody knows exists it seems):
here's all the stats and one pic:

Try a canon printer sometime, the one I have S750 and the one my dad has S600 both use the same set of 4 carts (more efficient than a mutli color single cart), and you can get the black + 3 color carts for about $25 total online! vs hp wanting $60ish for the same thing. And the efficiency of being able to change individual colors when they go dry adds even more savings on top.
I'd have to say it seems to be MUCH better than any pharmaceutical anti-depressant drug out there... pretty much everybody i know that smokes it is 100% totally happy laughing every 5 minutes no matter how messed up they were to start with.
Just have to say I loved your post above and wish I could mod it up! there are many positive things marijuana can bring you if you let it (ie not staring at the idiot box tv or something vs actually thinking about things or try to do some creative work.) But I totally agree it has the downside of temporary short term memory problems (get a pen and paper to write what you think down when you are high) And don't forget the evil munchies lol that doesnt help me out much either. But I love the insight / abstract thinking I can obtain after smoking. I just write my ideas / thoughts down if waranted and then the next morning re-read then and be simply amazed. I can also completely understand where jazz players back in the 30's-50's or so (some of the first big time pot smokers) would say they could just "pluck music out of the air". It definately enances my ability to enjoy and if i knew how create music. But i haven't really tried creating any... yet.
Yes it does give me great ideas and creativity, maybe you should try it sometime. I write all the things down that I "figure out" when im high. When im totally sober and read those thoughts the next morning It amazes me at what detail they go into. Pot seems to directly influence whatever parts of your mind control "pattern recognition" and "creativity" if you ask me. It also seems to connect your body to your mind so you can actually understand what the previous sentence means. I think the government is absolutely terrified of marijuana for precisely these reasons that it seems to make most people think in abstract / more complex ways (ie not easily brainwashed thru the crappy media). Of course there always the 50% of stoners that are just smoking it because they think it "makes them cool" or they want to "avoid reality"... But I really think 1/2 of us "stoners" are intellectuals that realize how marijuana can open your mind to possibilities not seen before.
I've just gave up and quit multiple times myself, you might feel a bit edgey and bitchy for 2-3 days after but then you are fine, not any worse than caffeine withdrawal IMO. of course if I had the $ and a good supply I'd never quit because marijuana gives me brilliant ideas and more creativity for my job.
Ok let me just drive 5 miles down the road in any direction since there are probably 5 farmers that have buffalos around here within that range. Or I can go to yellowstone park again and see wild ones right in the park near old faithful again:)
What they need to do is put the feature I have seen in some newer engines where once you are not accelerating anymore and just coasting it cuts half the cylinders from getting gas to improve mileage and the remaining cylinders have plenty of power to keep you coasting along.
So what you should do is tell these people how incredibly simple it is to do a water extraction of almost any opiate based pain killer. opiates are very water soluable, acetaminophen isn't, all you need is a coffee filter to save your liver. Might as well tell somebody how to not hurt themselves if they are addicted to it anyways.
I know a pretty big adult spammer, the trick is you have to know the owners / top guys at the companies you spam products for, then they will just "comply" with reported spam and "delete" accounts and whatnot when trouble shows up, but since you know the guys at the top, they just pay you anyways and give you new accounts to keep on spamming with since both parties are making tons of cash (he makes around $20k/month last time I knew off it, and has a shiney dodge viper in his driveway.)
Why don't you smack the drug companies then, maybe some people think its worth the risk of buying drugs from a spammer at 50% - 90% less than going to a doctor in this country without insurance. I would also have to say 99.9% of the medical spam is just resold from legit overseas pharmacies and the spammer just takes his 10-20% cut of the sale.
That's EA's entire business model if you ask me, buy out good companies like maxis and westwood, then release really crappy sequels to all of those companies decent games for a few bucks. I'm surprised EA hasn't tried buying blizzard out yet, could be quite profitable throwing out crappy sequel after crappy sequel of warcraft / starcraft / diablo / whatever.
lol, and you have to love it when he gets rambling on about his great turduckens (thanksgiving games) or his madden bus since he's afraid of flying, or his crazy man-love for bret favre.
Yeah, but the terrorists aren't stupid. I'm sure if they have any sites with info on possible strikes they would be smart enough to encrypt / password protect those sites, so it would be kind of hard to translate what you can't see.
hah, nice thinking there, that reminds me of a lot of people i know in the "biz" (adult online) that intentionally let passwords get leaked out to passwords sites for a few days then kill them for extra traffic:)
Yeah my computer desk was vibrating nicely and the floor eve was slightly with only a crappy 10 watt sub! I'm going to have to play it on my 15" subs tomorrow hehe;)

I'd take a bottle of antibiotics with me, if you go to any of the previously flooded areas its crawling with nasty stuff.

It would be quite easy to just filter downloads by unique ip numbers and get a much more accurate download count, I wonder if they do this or not.
Yeah my computer desk was vibrating nicely and the floor eve was slightly with only a crappy 10 watt sub! I'm going to have to play it on my 15" subs tomorrow hehe ;)
