Aside from it just being a scientific research project, in practice even if they were produced in combination it's almost certain that they would be refined and purified for medicinal use.

But it would be much easier to not have to separate them and do one molecule per plant/field.

That aside your monoamine oxidase would prevent all but the psylocin from being orally active. Maaybe if the tobacco were very carefully dried and not fermented you could smoke it.

Now if they were to engineer in some harmaline/telepathine and put it into a tomato you could make some very special marinara sauce. The acids would act like a 'lemon-tec' and heating could perhaps be doing some decarboxalating. I have no idea if people experiment with mushrooms and ayahuasca simultaneously.

I can't wait for the Epstein Class to start raiding pasta shops to protect their black markets. :/

In New Hampshire people have, in RADAR cases, been able to subpoena the operators, the calibrators, the calibration certificates, and the source code, on these bases.

The judge allows it, the prosecution drops the case.

One strategy is to demand a trial on every small fine to tilt the economics in favor of liberty.

Follow the money.

This stinks of sabotage inflicted by unethically motivated actors.

Presuming they're not just incredible fools, which we ought not assume.

I guess it is more complex then:
- eat once a month
- have special hormones/peptides

After all, the snake has energy and is pretty vital again after a few days of digesting. No one would assume the rest of the meal is just shitted out again, it is stored somehow, and can be accessed later. So the interesting question is: how does the snake store energy for 2 or 3 weeks until it hunts again.

On top of that, Pythons are pretty clever. For example they recognize their owner, or house hold people around them. If they are fed, they do not hunt your pets, they know what feeding time is, and what/where to eat.

Personally, I've noticed myself suddenly getting naggingly hungry upon just seeing food...I was fine seconds earlier.
That can happen easy if you have a deficit of some sort and your body "thinks" what you are seeing is helpful.

I had a pretty badly injury about 2 years ago. I am not really such a chicken fan (well, kind of I am, but I am not running around eating chicken from char coal every day), but at that time: I ate nearly every day the whole thing. Including the bones that I could chew, and definitely all the "jelly" around the joints.

My body simply demanded that I eat that. Sometimes I ate 2 half chickens same day, one as lunch and one as dinner.

So for months I only ate meat and fruits, lol. Or very meat heavy Thai dishes (kind of salads) like Tab Wan or Mhu Manau.

Does not really matter what "kind of balanced diet" you eat.
If you spice up your meal with ketchup, drink eat stuff with artificial sweetener ...
Mix the "correct food" together in the wrong way ... and so on.

It does not help to eat healthy stuff over the course of the day: every meal has to be healthy.

You eat fat and sugar same time, with to much sugar, or to much carbs that quickly converted into sugar: your body converts the sugar to fat, more or less instantly. And it stores the fat in your blood, in the fat cells: more or less instantly.

So, your healthy steak with a fatty edge, perfect nutrition, and the oven potatoes - which would not harm: become a fat bomb with a little bit of ketchup. Ooops, the sugar in the ketchup makes the potatoes become sugar faster, spike the fat and sugar levels in your blood, and the insulin makes your body store the nice and healthy fat edge of the steak in to your fat cells.

Nah, AWS provides logistics to military and intelligence and has for quite a while.

It's tough to argue, "these aren't military targets, we just rent the equipment and provide services to the military for hundreds of billions of dollars."

Which is probably what people will argue.

Do they only have to state a reason or does somebody have to adjudicate whether that reason is validly "justified"? We have a Public Utilities Commission here that pretends to do such things.

Or is this one of these, "you can't know, so try it and a judge will tell you what the law was" sort of things?

Maybe somebody who understands Italian jurisprudence can clarify their theory of law.

Lawyers are some of the most overworked people on the planet. Not only that, but the work they do requires a lot of high-level thinking and processing for long stretches of time. It's exhausting work.

So along comes AI, which can turn hours of work into minutes, saving them a lot of time and work (at least up front). Of course they'll take a chance at it, especially when it lets them get eight hours of sleep a few more times a week. Besides, with better odds than a coin flip, the case will probably settle anyways, and what they write will never see the light of day.

Besides, it's very easy to skim through what AI generates and feel convinced that it's good enough. Only if one were to really scrutinize the work would one discover how terrible it is, but why bother doing all that extra evaluation...wasn't AI supposed to save you time?

Agreed.

Also Major Tom shouldn't try to fix anything on a spacecraft if it's somebody else's job.

I don't want to say I heard Mission Control on NASA TV reading down a procedure to tell an ISS commander how to tie his shoes but it felt like that.

Velcro, I guess.

Most helpful comment of the week.

Much kudos.

Yes, and they didn't notice that the lab tests were all done with plastic gloves.

I don't know, I went back to CPAN after I came to understand the socioeconomic and cultural ramifications of mandatory white space.

Papers, please?

"They yearn for the greenscreens."

I play two over 20 year old games.

There is no damn reason that a game stops working, unless you upgrade the OS and for some reason it does not run on the upgrade. That is pretty rare on windows.

So yes, a game company has the fucking obligation to make their game run for ever, just like Word, Excel and Thunderbird, Chrome or Firefox or "insert what ever product" you are using has.

There is no damn reason a game stops working ... it is fraud if it does.

License is ownership.

From what retarded country are you?

In Germany first quarter this year, electricity from renewables was 53%.
