I once read an anecdote about a person who could not forget to the point that it basically drove them insane. Having vivid memory of happy or otherwise useful experiences seems great to me, but imagine being unable to forget gritty details as well. You see some especially disturbing violence for example, and you are more likely to experience a cluster of symptoms known as PTSD. Imagine cues that trigger sad thoughts about a loss (death, breakup, etc) always triggering a full on PTSD-style reliving of the event. As I understand, we "forget", or are unable to access a lot of things we "remember". Would a constantly juiced hippocampus dispose you splitting, compartmentalization, and other phenomenon related to "detachment" from psychological stress? Certainly good science, and I can see a huge potential benefit, on the other hand, something like this really opens up a can of worms.
The deeper problem is that of systematic lying and covering for your fellow officers. The blue code works just fine until there's a recording of what really happened. Because there is often what the police say, what the defendants say, and the truth.
OK, so some nutjobs thinks pasteurized *insert whatever* is bad for you somehow (as opposed to just tasting different and maybe having a little more in the way of vitamins/enzymes/whatever). BUT, your missing a point here, it's a personal freedom thing. If I want to buy milk that hasn't been pasteurized for the taste (btw, it does taste very different, many say better), knowing full well the risks (up to and including death, though usually NOT death), why the hell shouldn't I be able to. I can get raw meat, undercooked seafood, etc. Its basically the same risk, so why not milk? Just slap that undercooked food hazard warning label on the container. So.... most states have made the sale of raw milk completely illegal, or restricted to a small number of dairies people drive hours to get to. Por Que? Even if you think raw foodists are nutters (many are I think), it comes down to how much government you want in your life (ahhh, wheres the tea "party" when you need them). First its your drugs, then its your supplements, then its the way you can buy your food. I know theres a lot of charlatanry out there, but hey, buyer beware and a sucker being born every minute is just the way of the world.

Oh god, here it is. The latest in fear buzzword technology. "Hunker down", WMD, axis of evil, and now the "lone wolf". I miss when "lock box" was the stupidest of these pre-9/11. The worst part is, the media keeps using these deceitful memes and people just keep eating bowl after bowl of this shit.
Why of course! We need them to sell people crap so we can make more money than we did last (year, quarter, whatever). Oh, wait, you mean why do we the consumers need these?............
Says who? It's being stored in plain text on the computer end and in the phone. You think people who have the tech knowledge that may wish to use this information (to make money or catch someone cheating or whatever) haven't heard the news?
And indeed, as anyone who stores bud in a mason jar knows, it has a couple of weeks tops if its being opened a few times a day, before it becomes too dry to be palatable to most.
It gets solved a bit differently for a dispensary I'd imagine. Think much smaller scale. Dried out, shaky, and otherwise substandard but still safe (not molded or a year old) are probably turned into pastries, candies, and other edibles. This has to be tracked on their end, doesn't sound too hard, but its a unique situation to be in.
Ha ha. THC (and other active cannabinoids) do not evaporate but break down in the presence of light and/or oxygen. There is an optimal wetness (varies by individual preference), however it has to be dry enough to not mold if its in airtight storage (if its done drying, in other words). Theres a lot more too it proper drying and curing of pot, google is there for any interested souls. I don't think that quote was meant in relation to ANY and ALL products, but in relation to other medical products, like pills, creams, liquids, powders, etc.
Sort of like the Pre-N spec 802.11n routers that were touted as being 100% compatible with the wireless n spec before the spec was finished? The catch of course being that its compatible with the latest draft at the time they were coding it (hopefully).
Nah, they make good headlines. It's just that a large area in a very densely populated country being uninhabitable for the rest of our lifetimes, THAT, makes better headlines.
Its not about reactor design safety. People question the ability of enterprise and government to *manage* such incredible (and potentially destructive) power.

I think congress refers to the house or the senate. As in a member of congress.
Has this stopped anyone from having a penchant for "trophy" types?

Wish I had points, truly insightful.

You were on the right track, but no dispensary medical marijuana has seeds in it.
But what other medical prescription loses weight and potency the same way? I think the quote was just taken out of context.

Dried out, shaky, and otherwise substandard but still safe (not molded or a year old) are probably turned into pastries, candies, and other edibles.

Mod +1, excellent point.

It was a joke, ass-burger.
You might be surprised how many "developers" lap up Microsoft's cock and bull.

Why not be for renewables? The same line about how battery tech isn't there yet?
I know this discussion is pretty heated, but I do believe the above comment is worth more than a 0: Troll. PS- Not the author.
