Haha, jokes about congresscritters aside, D.C. and surrounding inner suburbs really do have a serious rat (the actual animal) problem.
Besides, you forgot K St NW. It's where all the lobbyists are.

The 50 states will just send in 635 more rates to fill their place.
First off I feel like it's been an old joke here for the last 15+ years that nobody on
Second, it was merely a comment on the headline. After reading the comments and realizing that, the second oldest joke on Slashdot is also true -- the summary was wrong, I took a peek. It was enjoyable, yet everything I had to say has already been said since it's now a day later, and moved on.
Third, you either didn't bother to log in or have no ID whatsoever, so I find it hilarious that you're calling me lazy.
That was my thought. I read the headline as "Pedantic Asshole Can't Watch a Movie For What It Is"
And most of
On the up side, someone is keeping these companies around until we start actually paying money for infrastructure work again.
Haha, I didn't say I disagree. Just saying the opposition would be tougher than planned.
I agree with what Colorado and Washington are doing, and hope a few more states jump on board until it tips. It'll just take some doing.
Tell that to the DEA, local law enforcement who likes anti-drug money, companies who make the ridiculous equipment supplied to the above, the privately run prison system, "tough on crime" politicians who like getting re-elected, the private pharmaceutical companies, etc. who make a shit-ton of money off of the prohibition. And let's not forget the companies and government orgs. who benefit from having a destabilized Central America and all that entails.
If you can convince enough of them that legalizing and taxing the softer stuff, then switching the rest to a rehab-friendly environment is the way to go, then awesome. But that's a lot of money and power to get through first.
I read a book about this a couple years ago, I think it was a David Baldacci. The govt. was working on figuring out quantam computing before everyone else, although in this case it was to figure out how they could defeat it once it was created for the purpose of keeping things secure.
That said, it explained for a layman how this sort of thing would blow encryption wide open, and there was a bit of a hint that of course the govt. could use this to break into everyone else's stuff too.
I graduated from Tech. in 2000. The CS dept. was in the same building as Physics. It was in the basement (yes, I know that's normally reserved for us programmers). Nice guys, but yeah so not surprised.
I mean, most of the physics majors had beards that would put both a Civil War general and most UNIX sysadmins to shame, and yet had a prescient idea of quantum things I still don't understand (and can't spell according to my browser). I think they're doing this to look for their fellow stranded time travelers. Or to stop their parents from sleeping with grandma or something.
Or maybe they're making sure nobody's breaking The Code.

For the most part I'd agree, although I personally thought Ta Henket tasted horrible. Not sure if Sah'Tea counts as one of the ancient ales, but that really wasn't for me either.
Otherwise, yes, Theobroma is very good and coveted even around here where we get all the Dogfish stuff, and Midas Touch is also amazingly good.
BTW, Kvasir is pretty good, although very sweet.
THIS! Also, most people will just go along with yet more laws "for their security" that make it harder to get Halloween costumes (think how toy guns cause freak outs -- now imagine cop uniforms) and much scarier BS because of one isolated incident.
Remember the shoe bomber's idea wasn't even feasible, but you still take your shoes off in the airport.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Although it sounds a lot like Midas Touch already.
Or if that ceases to work, the HOA could just HIRE someone cheaper to clean it up cheaper than running genetic tests.
But that's too hard.
