I believe over here it's popular to use polyurethane foam sold in cans. Apparently there's a small opening in the housing where you can empty the can in. As it hardens out it expands and most camera's go "pop" under the pressure..

I'd be interested to read about this "violin test", as someone who plays multiple instruments there's certainly a quality difference in the sound a cheap 60 dollar acoustic guitar produces versus it's more expensive brother I bought last year. Even using the same strings it has a different sound to it. Same with the stereo equipment I have, it's not in the $10.000 category but at least I can pick out the difference between the cheap stuff and the bit more expensive stuff.

Isn't this really just about diminishing returns? Because I have to agree that someone who pays 10.000 for the turntable is overdoing it.

Fear would imply I would actually *need* this game for my day to day existence, else it'd be a lousy punishment. Yes, they might threaten to pull the plug and some people would shut up. But I think the majority would throw up a stink and would probably not buy another game from that maker again. Treat your customers badly will result in loathing methinks, not fear. Because pulling the plug on some server is just not really a big stick they're wielding in the grander scheme of things. Unlike say, broken kneecaps.

Had the same thing (though I still have red hair). After the third shot the dentist opted to just wait for the sedative to take effect. It did, eventually. Same thing with other local anesthetics. It usually takes about the triple amount.. I also had my tonsils removed a few months ago. I woke up before I was supposed to (thankfully not during the surgery like my grandmother had, also a redhead) and completely clear-headed and didn't have the "groggy" effect everybody complains about. The strange thing I find though that almost no doctor I spoke too knows about "redheads". Only one nurse who, trough education and experience, knew that people with red hair are more likely to need a bit more anesthetics.

As others have pointed out: addiction is way to vague. Are we talking physiological or psychological addiction? And addicted to what degree? Several medical studies have also pointed out that it's no more physiologically addictive then a pack of cookies. Now, I'll grant you that psychological addiction may occur with marijuana, but the same thing can be said of any one thing in the world. Your hand waving about how it's addictive has just about as many facts in it as people who claim it's not addictive (without the sources to back it up). So, what are your sources for your claims that "Find me a meth or Heroin user that did not smoke pot first" and "It's about getting "high", and that eventually ends up into finding alternative highs."? I'm genuinely curious about this "gateway theory". Also, where I'm from smoking pot is legalized here, oddly enough, we don't really have a problem withe heroine usage skyrocketting., in fact, if this site is to be believed we actually had a decline!
