apparently the idea came together after having 'a couple of beers'. Very Australian.

  ...the idea for the AN0M app was developed 'over a couple of beers' between Australia and US law enforcement officers in 2018.

  "I wasn't there, but as you know, some of the best ideas come over a couple of beers," Commissioner Kershaw said.

Honestly I burst out laughing at that quote. I'm sure many devs here can attest to the wild ideas that come out of after work beers that often end up being hilariously useful.

It is quite interesting, that they were consuming drugs while discussing how to persecute others for using different drugs.

It is quite interesting, that they were rearranging valence electrons in atoms, while discussing how to persecute others for doing the same thing with different atoms.

Ahh yes, take it one step further to brush off the meaning. People persecute others for using some certain drugs but not other certain drugs, I'm simply highlighting that fact. Its particularly amusing when the same "drug warrior" types who would have been the ones breaking open barrels in the 20s are now openly drinking with each other.

You may have a lot of preconceptions about different drugs, but I don't know what they are.

Mine are probably different from yours, and from most peoples'.

I mean it does seem like the kind of thing where it's an obviously good idea for them to do, it's all about the implementation
