Ahh, the soft empathic voice of Slashdot.....

TLDR; this is an incredible dumbass drug. They take codeine, which apparently is easier to get than heroin Russia, run it through some Mad Men style kitchen chemistry, don't really bother filtering it, don't have a clue about what they made then... wait for it... inject it. Bypassing every single organismal defense mechanism save for the few remaining T-cells that the user's bone marrow has scrounged up.

Violence will ensue....

Pavlovian even.

Cue NSA having the information since 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...

What part of Total Information Awareness do you not understand?

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a data center on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest data center in all New York.

Candles taste better when they're fresh.

When you computerize chaos,

you get computerized chaos.

Or for that matter, the part of the course dealing with exponential functions.

You didn't pass calculus, did you?

That's only in the US. The rest of the world uses the metric system.

Let's think this one through, AC.

Imagine going down your typical American freeway, surrounded by barely controlled four ton (3600 kg) home entertainment centers at 70 mph (110 km/hr for the rest of you). Now, imagine, if you will, that same freeway with half the 'drivers' gesticulating wildly trying to get the last Justin Bieber track to play again.

Violence will ensue.

If your partner is drinking enough of the runoff to immediately change her (?) libido, both you and your partner have other, more pressing problems to worry about.

I think this is the key. As FFF said, it's interesting that the apparent activation energy to flip between active and inactive is fairly small. The good news is that it should be 'easy' to treat runoff such that you really do destroy the bioactivity - you probably don't need large amounts of energy to do so. The bad news is that dumping metric shit tons of the stuff in a small, slow flowing creek isn't going to solve the problem and you will have to build a treatment plant.

Farmers hate that.

What some aspiring organic chemist needs to do is figure out a low energy synthesis between hormone disrupters and similar molecules and some chemical that has psychoactive properties. From my hazy memory of organic chem, I think that the indole nucleus is used in both hormones and amphetamine like drugs. Breaking bad on steroids, so to speak.

When you raise your middle finger?

You will be encouraged to think for yourself and explore other avenues of thought (at least theoretically, "thinking" and Twitter really shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence).

Al Jazeera has been making quiet inroads into the "Western World" for the past 5 years. That's who CNN should be afraid of since they are both playing the same game.
