  • Hey, this person is trying to convince us the subway from Australia to Montana is fake! Then it must be real!

  • Again, drug users do not seek these drugs. Drug dealers seek them because stronger drugs are easier to smuggle in smaller amounts for the same street value as a much larger quantity of heroin.

  • And those people unfortunately aren't going to be helped by prohibition either. In fact, prohibition will only make things much worse for them and everyone else. The knock on affects of prohibition are far worse than most people understand.

    I do want to also ask, are you aware if there are any waiting periods whatsoever to get into treatment programs anywhere in your country? I find that in most countries at least somewhere there are prohibitive waiting lists.

  • The insurance industry is filling in this gap right now for cyber insurance. They are requiring a certain level of security before they will write a policy. Try doing business with any other company without a huge cyber insurance requirement in the contract.

  • No, it doesn't. Still drug addicts, still drug dealers and violent gangs that import and sell drugs.

  • Good and great are used differently for a reason. It's not really a semantic difference.

  • Exactly, those drugs are sought after because smuggling small amounts of them is much easier than smuggling larger amounts of heroin.

    Black markets, drug markets, gang violence, the warehousing of impoverished people who get drawn in to all that. Nothing but bad comes from prohibition.

  • How's that working out? Prohibition has never done anything for addiction.

  • No, I'm talking about legalization. I said legalized, I meant legalized. Drug treatment programs should be ubiquitous, available, and free.

  • Good thing I didn't use the word great, and I'm talking about the cars they made in the 30s and 40s hence the past tense of "made."

  • Legalize all drugs. Move 100% of the enforcement funds into drug treatment programs. And then tax them and put that towards treatment programs.

  • It's extremely traceable. There is a literal public ledger if every single transaction.

  • Yeah, crypto is the farthest thing from a solution to that problem.

  • The Nazis actually made good cars. Tesla is all the worst parts without the good cars.

  • The F stands for Fuckwit not Feminist.

  • That's why I add a lot. And again, she has no tolerance for spicy anything.

  • Back when I was in highschool I brought home chili from work which I had added a lot of Cholula to as I liked. I set it on the dining room table sealed in the container while I went to my room to change. In the midst of changing I hear a yell from the other end of the house. It's my mother screaming "Are you trying to kill me?!?!" Neither of my parents tolerate spicy foods well. It's still a story I love to tell and to needle my mom with.

  • Anyone can backup any other peertube instance. But that of course comes at a cost.

  • As someone who owns these, I still have to charge them from time to time. My windows have some built in UV blocking and my home has an overhang. This won't matter for OP but the cords are short enough you have to put the solar panel at the top of the window if you plan to open it at all so part of the day the overhang blocks the sun. Then it also matters where the window itself is positioned to get sun. I use a backup battery you would use to charge a cell phone and just set it on the trim over the window and then come back for it in a few days when I finally remember. But my windows aren't 20ft in the air. It varies from window to window but it's usually several months between charges as the solar panels do charge enough during parts of the year.

    Above is a year of battery data from my worst window and one of my better ones. It's heavily dependent on how close to a south facing wall the windows are. And of course, how your open close routines are setup.

    Edit: These windows are in the same room on the same wall. The bad one is close to the northern corner of the house and the good one is close to the southern corner of the house. They are in my living room with our TV and open and close regularly as they shut when the TV is in use and open when it's not.
