They're 2D

I use a laptop with an i3 and 4 GB of RAM, wih old Nvidia graphics. But what I wanted to say that I learned from comments seems blindingly obvious but I never considered how important it is: having tons of RAM is great because then your OS is not constantly overwriting data you might use again. I am definitely going to use waaay more RAM in the future (64+ GB). coooool

How are bicycles going to be registered? If it's going to be a placard on the frame, what if I switch all the parts to a new frame? Some people do this all the time. Maybe after TPP is law, and people aren't allowed to work on their bikes any more, we can ban all of the cyclists who don't have new bikes that they have to take to the Schwinn Center to change an inner tube. Or maybe we should make every cyclist wear a number on their back, because there's nothing dystopian about that. Frankly riding bikes has made me into much more of a libertarian (but NOT a US Libertarian).

Snow is fine; I like riding in the snow. Ice can be bad though. I have slipped on ice, and I have ridden thousands of miles just in the last few years. However, most people are completely deterred by even a little rain, especially if it's cold out.

What I don't get is how the "turn into an evil corporate lackey" button hidden on Ron Wyden never got punched before. I guess they were saving it for a really special occasion.

I cannot bring myself to laugh at this. The thought that this was written and could be taken seriously is way too sobering.

The idea that a recording is worth money has been around for ~100 years. Why is an audio recording worth money? Well, the pressing, the artwork, the liner notes, are all cool things to have, but paying someone money for a copy of them playing...? It's kinda silly. Musicians make money from performing, educating, and from patronage. But patronage via records almost never primarily brings money to the artists; it's mostly going to record labels. Copies of music, I don't care where they come from. OTOH, if a DJ is playing other people's music for gain and not crediting them, well, that is just weak. If musicians can sell their artwork or collaborate with artists and make beautiful things to own that include copies of the music, I'm happy to pick them up sometimes for $1-30 depending.mostly on new versus used. But I hope the major labels choke and die.

In point of fact, the market is extremely driven by the exact potential of methamphetamine. I know this because methcathinone (cat) is another powerful drug that can be prepared from pseudoephedrine even more easily than meth. It also has extreme abuse potential. But it never took off because it is not quite as pleasant for addicts as methamphetamine. So in this sense we have a luxury market where meth rules even though the feds track iodine purchases etc (cat doesn't require iodine to cook, or anything else that is normally tracked). Amphetamine a.k.a. Adderall actually has decent abuse potential (though not near meth or cat) but addicts have the luxury of passing it over for meth. In my opinion amphetamine is about 1 inch above caffeine in addictiveness, and I know that I go about 1 day max w/out caffeine.

I know what works! Evidence! Maybe if we stop repeating that it doesn't work, it'll start working! Why do you write the exact posts that you expect to read? I'm very happy for evidence, even if it ony helps convert a tiny number of people! I wish it worked better, but.. YAY!

Here's a class of drugs you've never heard of before, called amphetamines. Here's a photo of what you look like if you take them a lot: those awful before-and-after photos

Now go take some Adderal. It's the same, just weaker. You'll be fine. Go make a little more money. Fuck sleep and living well.

We should be paying more for water! And food! And especially especially gasoline! It's ABSURD that gas is subsidized, although I understand that stable prices are important.

Ironically, Seattle is big in this outlaw-being-poor trend precisely because so many people in the PNW are nice and tolerant to poor people!
Seattle is facing this argument because it's a good place to find large vocal groups on both sides of the issue. Really, the leaders on the forefront of this trend are smaller cities with wealthy white populations e.g. Ft. Lauderdale, where it's now illegal to share food on the sidewalk, it's basically against the law to not sleep under a roof there. http://homelesshatelaws.blogsp...
