Yeah, I've waited for you - so here's the link about dain bramage and alcohol.

There's a reason who pot smokers are generally portrayed as missing a few brain cells.

With that said - I have absolutely no problem with people smoking weed. THC helps people with cancer, pain mediation, and folks with vision.

But they absolutely should be treated the same as drunk drivers if they are impaired and driving.

and the link is......

Bullshit.

Alcohol affects people in different ways, Just like THC does.

After some beers - I drive differently from when I'm sober. When I'm sober, I'm a lead foot tailgating cursing driver that wants to kill the person in the left lane refusing to obey the overtake law. If I've had a few beers, then I make damn sure to be in the right lane- under speed limit, and take back roads to avoid excessive fines in case I lose the drive lottery and get pulled over.

One thing I am happy to avoid? Brain damage from THC

I think that THC use and Texting while driving should have the exact same penalties as someone who has .08 BAC.

I think with all the programmers on this site , we should be insisting on paper voting. At least there is a reliable record to go back to (and no chads jokes please) recount.

Otherwise, why bother voting on a machine you don't get to see the source code for. You having a choice will not matter to whomever controls the code.

we need a -1 "keeping it real" too.

I thought we'd have flying cars?

Oh, I get it, this is the 21st century dream of having flying cars...

No, you got that wrong - we get a say in those rules.

Much as you'd like to silence us...

Yup! Bush was a pansy, Obama not only made sure all of the telco's were immune from lawsuits, Made sure that we'd still be bombing in Iraq and expanding in Afghanistan - he flipped the finger at forming a coalition and bombed the shit out of Syria!

And as an ice cream topper - he did it all with the approval of the media.

That's freaking awesome. The media spent a shitload of time asking bush if he did cocaine - Obama published a book where he manned up to not only toking weed, but snorting coke - and he told the media to piss off.

Yep, all of the blame is on bush - I can't wait to watch all of the Orambo movies on the big screen..

Since ethanol is really lousy when it comes to fuel mileage

And Ethanol is causing farmers to switch to corn growth

Please - Keep supporting ethanol. I love paying higher prices in the grocery stores, polluting more, and supporting the people in charge fighting for it!

So do I, and I have two motorcycles.

Umm.

Coast to coast in america you are looking at a little over 2000 miles. You expect full fiber coverage over a landmass that even Mc Donalds can't spread their brand over. Note the big bubbles - that's one store serving a gigantic area

http://all-that-is-interesting...

In the midwest - Illinois, there are still areas that can't get dsl - let alone cable. They are restricted to speeds of 56k or less - some resort to satellite with the FUP hobble.

Fiber is going to take many years to roll out in populous states, let alone the states like Nevada or Idaho. We're a bit larger and less populated than countries in europe per capita.

So, Google is wrongly going after floating balloons since it's going to be incredibly expensive to fiber all of the united states. Unfortunately, google is going to continue to cause harm since they sold out.

I pay for netflix monthly because it's commercial free.

If I am to pay for news, it has to be commercial free. No ads, no fake story ads, just content.

Piss off until then.

While in the US there is a generally accepted right to self defense, the legal theory in the UK is that fighting crime is the police's job.

This brings up a question. It's well established in the US that the police have no responsibility to protect your life; if you call 911 when the Bad Guys show up and get killed before the police arrive, your next of kin don't get to sue the cops. (Look up Warren v. District of Columbia for an example.) It's not that much of a problem here as you have the right to defend yourself, with deadly force if necessary. In a legal environment where that right to self-defense isn't guaranteed, as it isn't in the UK, does that then imply a potential liability if their police don't do what has been decided is their job? (I suspect it doesn't, but I could be wrong.)

And yet there are manufacturer coupons for things like food that grocers accept. Does the grocer accept the hit on that money that the manufacturer decided to entice the customer with, or does the grocer reclaim those funds from the manufacturers? Honestly, I don't know as I haven't worked in that business, but a little logic would seem to imply the grocer gets reimbursed from the manufacturer for discounting the item.

It's more about buying a $100 product at a store that has a $30 rebate, and forgetting or not filing the paperwork to get the money back, instead of, you know, just offering it as a direct rebate or coupon to the seller and allowing the customer to buy it at $70 out of pocket. I'm sure the claim rate of rebates is not 100%, and it probably isn't over 50% if I had to guess.
