My concern is that it may bleed into the supply of the "original" (nothing original about it) crops and take them over. Fortunately we have seed banks so, yeah, my concern is... Umm... Exactly nothing!
Just to play with them I show the CA when I enter the US and the US passport when I enter the CA. I get detained nearly every time when I go to Canada. Years and years ago they searched me and my car. While they did so I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I walked in and flushed like a few seconds later and then said, "Ha ha!"
They did not let me in. I was not a citizen then. I am surely on some list though because I get stopped and they root through my stuff almost every time and I cross fairly often as I live right next to the magical line that strips my rights away.
I am a citizen of both (US by birth, CA by blood - Micmac tribe) and I have to show my passport at either end. However, I have permission (once IDed) to enter either. No. I am not sure where I was going with that.
This is/. you know. The subject can be anything in the article and the summary. We will devolve into raging about an OS, a terminal, a text editor, or a person. None of which had a greater than 5% chance of actually even being tangentially related to the subject of the article or summary.
It means you have a penis or a vagina (but not both) and that you kept what you were born with and sleep with the opposite gender. Well, I am assuming that is what it means. It is really gibberish but the root would be cis or cisgendered methinks.
I can't recall anything that took Java to show a moving picture, at least not in a very long time. That was why I was curious if you were confusing the two. JavaScript is sometimes used to load content in Flash it seems as I have come across videos that will not play without it. *shrugs*
Wouldn't that be legal so long as they followed the identification rules and did so every 30 minutes or so? (I think it is 30 minutes, licensing was so very long ago.)
Additionally, what made you think that we, a critical and generally logical group of people, at Slashdot would actually help you do what you do? I hate to sound like a/b/tard but we are not your personal army. We do not care what you do, what you wear, who you sleep with, and what you identify as. Slashdot has been, and will be, a place filled with gay and trans people but we are not your personal army. We care about what you accomplish, technically, and your gender or politics is irrelevant.
You know, this is the chance to actually ASK HER this question and find out from the horse's mouth so to speak. Not that she is a horse or anything. She might be though, she could be a horse in disguise! Time to start a Twitter account and get the rumors flying.
No, legal drugs are less expensive. Anyone can make any of the drugs we consume for recreation. There is no incentive to raise the price. Anyone who wants drugs can get drugs. Nobody is going to decide to become a heroin junkie because it is now legal. Use the money saved from incarceration and enforcement to educate, rehabilitate, and work at resolving other social issues. Drugs do not make bad people, criminality due to the illegality of drugs makes people bad people.
No. I do not do drugs as a general rule other than smoking some weed once in a blue moon. However, I am a junkie and always will be. I spent the better part of 40 years using opiates up to an including Fentanyl extraction for IV use and heroin use. I have never been convicted for anything other than misdemeanor possession charges nor have I ever committed an offense while obtaining my drugs other than the act of obtaining them.
I quit not because of the illegality but because of the uncontrolled person that I had become. I chipped for years and decades thinking I was going to be able to control it forever. The fixation with a needle is probably the undoing in my case. That is irrelevant though.
Drugs are not bad. They do not generally make people do bad things either. The problems come from the fact that they are illegal and the social stigmas involved. I actually actively encourage you to try some of them for yourself before passing judgment. Go out and get a bag of rigs from the pharmacy and a couple of bags of dope. Start small, learn safe injection practices, and nod out for a while in the warm fuzzy blanket glow of the opiate high and you will understand that the problems from drugs are not the drugs themselves but from the way the users are often forced to live.
I do not regret my drug use one bit. Not one iota. It has never made me do something I would not have done otherwise all things being equal.
I did not want to take the time to type this out but I type quickly and it is worth the effort because you seem to be fairly logical in other areas of your expressed viewpoints and in a variety of threads. I am just going to assume that your biases are there due to inexperience or because of negative reenforcement. I was a functional addict and alcoholic for longer than you have been alive and, during that time, probably accomplished more than most people will ever be lucky enough to approach. In short, I have had a hell of a ride.
It is important to look at things like this with a crucial eye. If you have done so, or are unwilling to do so, and still hold the views you do then it is unreasonable for me to urge you to change those views. I do implore you to seek a different view and to be objective and to base your opinions on what you experience. Go out and spend a weekend tripping on high power blotter acid, eat some mushrooms, buy an eight-ball of coke and blab all night to some drunk at a bar or, better, smoke or shoot it while huddled over a coffee table in a darkened room.
I am not ashamed and am open about my addictions. I am an opiate and an alcohol addict. I am not a bad person. I have done enough drugs to make Keith Richards blush (and lived to tell the tale) and have, strangely, never robbed anyone or stolen anything to get my fix. I have been treated fairly and equitably by hundreds, nay thousands, of providers (dealers). I do not recommend my path, I have been a lucky man.
So yes. Go get wasted, try all the drugs at least once - you never know what you might like. Be careful about addiction and be honest with yourself when it does happen. Seek help if you let it get that far. Never let the drug change you for the worse. Remember, you can always put more drugs in but you can not take them out. Safe and happy times are best.
I did not realize it was possible to buy an HMMWV (not the commercial Hummer) but it now appears that they have made it to surplus status and are available at auction or at a set price. I will be buying one so thank you for making me look. I was one of the earliest drivers of the modern incarnation of the Highly Mobile Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle in the Marines as my MOS was 3505 (motor pool, driver, as mentioned above). This would have been in the mid-late 1980s. They are incredible vehicles, capable of almost unbelievable feats.
If you affix the deep water fording kit and sit on the top of the seat while steering with your feet and using the granny gear you can go through some deep water. If you get stuck you can almost always get the vehicle unstuck if you understand physics even a little bit. You can almost certainly get it unstuck with another Humvee. You could even run it on high proof vodka if you wanted though I have never actually heard anything about doing so.
I looked around to buy one after the Gulf War as I expect there to be a surplus. They were not selling them at the time and the civilian version was not something I wanted as it is an inferior copy of the original. For what they are, and that is not really something that should be used as a combat vehicle and was not designed for RPG or IED strikes, they are very good vehicles. They are a blast to drive and about as sure-footed as a mountain goat. The military does not do everything well but this is an excellent example of something done right. (Of course it is being used in roles it was not intended to fulfill but that is another topic entirely.)
I do not know what you do for a job but you should probably be doing a bit more than staring blankly at a screen unless your job is to determine the effects of eye strain. There's probably a keyboard and mouse attached to that screen. You might try poking those and seeing what they do. With enough poking you might actually find out what your employer expects (it is probably not staring blankly at a screen) and then you should determine if you are actually qualified to do the work that the employer has hired you to do. If you are unqualified then you should keep this job as long as you can and use the time to surf the internet and leave pithy replies in various comment sections.
I dunno... I'd sex her. I think it is a matter or principle and not a matter of physical attraction. Kind of like how I would so sex Martha Stewart. Afterwards she could knit me a condom, cook me a dinner, and then make a walkway out of credit cards all chopped up. (Why she had that many credit cards is beyond me.) Either way, I would sex them both AND I would sex them both at the same time - on the fucking table at Thanksgiving Dinner. I am an honorable man who adheres to the orders cast down by General Principle.
Trump is probably going to 'let the world know' how he has been observant and has finally reached the conclusion that Obama is black.
Also, seriously? Obama has been in office for 27 years already as POTUS and spell check still does not know his name by default? And, finally, after about 9 years, I have finally changed that and added it to the dictionary.
I am at a loss. The "M on the id" bit threw me. Are you saying you are transsexual? If so, you know, you do not need to actually take the pill to avoid pregnancy unless I am missing some new technology. They just rearrange the playground, they do not install a new factory.
I drove drunk all the time. No OUIs, no accidents, no anything really other than a lot of stupid risky behavior. It has never been a financial thing. It has been a "freedom" thing meaning I can go and come when I want without needing to rely on the service or goodwill of others. Do keep in mind that I was termed a functional alcoholic and drank daily from the mid 70s until just less than three years ago. This does not make me an expert but it does make me well versed in my own beliefs and the beliefs of other drunks. (We are the professional drunks, thank you. You hobbyists need not apply.)
The only bad thing about learning to drive while drunk is when someone informs you that you can actually still see the road when seeing double, you need only close one eye. I sort of wish I never learned that - while true it is amazing that I never killed anyone or myself. It may also help to know my MOS was 3505 (motor pool) where I drove a number of different vehicles and was quite frequently inebriated. Your tax dollars taught me how to drive and how to drive well, they also taught me how to drive drunk.
No, I will probably never get drunk again. (I have had a beer with a buddy a few times but I limit myself to one.) I am simply too good at drinking and a professional has to retire at some point and it is best to do when you are still in your prime. Also, the withdrawals and detox were so absolutely vile that I was truly near death - alcohol (and benzos) is actually deadly when you have serious withdrawals. Do not want... I do encourage others to drink on my behalf though. I am not an asshole in recovery. I am just an asshole.
Off-topic - thank you for the link in your signature. Much appreciated. Seemingly little bias from what I read and watched. I spent about an hour there off-and-on I think while I also browsed this thread. The nice thing was being able to watch with VLC in a browser format. I appreciated that feature. Again, thanks.

$ Yeah? Well your OS is made by a stinky doo-doo head! And I echoed this from the terminal.
It is obvious, and a joke, to point out your username at this point.

Additionally, judging by their reaction she must be doing an excellent job.
That does not make it right. I *hope* that is the contention here.
It is time to let your victims go.
Bonus points if we knock it into the Sun and apply top-right English to make Pluto follow it.

Now I understand. Thanks. I thought there was a human there and that they were just talking and whatnot.

BTW I own a tower in Paris that I will sell you at a favorable price.
