A pre-ban Four Loko malt beverage and Tool might be a better pairing. Guessing you're not listening to their angry tracks.

Prior to that inevitable slaughter some of them get to experience things that most humans never get to experience.

Mice on MDMA for example could easily be having the best time that any mouse has ever had.

If this technology is real it needs to be expensive enough to prevent the vast majority of people on earth from having access to it.

Apparently PET's safe to burn and has the equivalent energy content of soft coal - Penn State's found a way to make a coal-substitute out of it. https://tpsalliance.org/pdf/conference/2010/5B-Garthe-Plasto...

Most likely more mercury than is found in the plastic alternative. The mercury may be bound somehow to the seaweed in a way that prevents it from being absorbed when the seaweed is consumed although steeping it in boiling water may leech it out. Ethyl mercury contaminated water is something to be avoided entirely.

Morality aside the uneaten dead birds never go to waste. If a raccoon, opossum, coyote or bird doesn't eat the carcass something else will and it all goes back into the mix. The only way it becomes an actual loss is when a human interferes by putting it in a plastic bag or throwing it out in the trash and dooming it to decompose in a landfill.

Seaweed is often contaminated with heavy metals and radioactive isotopes that no one wants coming near their food.

Melt them down with solvents/heat and then cast them into something useful. Every home could have its own artisanal plastic forge. It could be the Great Leap Forward (Third Five Year Plan).

Showing off is the whole point of social networks. Showing off pictures of dinner, children, girlfriends, boats and other things people might think are cool.

Apparently people with untreated narcolepsy (who naturally go in-and-out of that zone automatically on a nightly basis) tend to have "higher creative potential" than people without narcolepsy[0].

After using any type of force, lethal or otherwise against a trespasser that type of sign would be used against the owner in court to their detriment.

There's a requirement for "no trespassing" signs to be posted around property but the "will be shot" verbiage could be construed as premeditation since non government land owners aren't allowed to kill trespassers merely for the act of trespassing itself. It literally suggests that the property owner is waiting to shoot anyone who trespasses, which isn't kosher.

Trespassing on government land such as a military base could result in the trespasser being shot accidentally or otherwise and there are typically warning signs posted that will say things like "Use of deadly force authorized".

The heart attack stats are likely incorrect. An international WHO study on cocaine[0] concluded:

  "A majority of health consequences may not be directly attributed to cocaine use. Cocaine often contributes to or exacerbates the conditions reported, rather than causing them."

  "Few experts describe cocaine as invariably harmful to health. Cocaine-related problems are widely perceived to be more common and more severe for intensive, high-dosage users and very rare and much less severe for occasional, low-dosage users."

The "addiction" doesn't have anything to do with particular drugs, it's an underlying flaw that can be triggered by more or less anything that's enjoyable enough and meets a few other requirements. Sex, gambling, food, eating one's own hair, huffing glue, cutting oneself, and the list just goes on.

Dependency on the other hand is a tangible scientifically provable phenomenon that can be cured in a matter of days for any drug. Cocaine dependency is no different from caffeine or nicotine dependency and is over after 3 days of abstinence.

Some people are just destined to become addicted to something. Anyone who's ever been drunk has an idea of the level of dedication and the massive amount of work that would be involved in becoming an alcoholic. Being drunk constantly is far too much work for most people and becoming a coke addict is exponentially more expensive and less convenient than being a drunk. Every 15 minutes snorting or every 5 minutes smoking cocaine just isn't something most people would ever attempt to do for stretches longer than an evening.

That ugly disposable McDonald's branded spoon doesn't strike me as something that 70s-80s era women would view as being "cool" or "hip". I really doubt a guy like Burt Reynolds would spend a few grand on a small amount of blow and then cheap out on the spoon.

Unless it's posted on government land this type of warning just tells you that you're in the vicinity of white trash.

What about in prison? There may well be Einsteins locked up in our overcrowded prisons.

Unless Apple's lying it has been in the works for YEARS.

"Apple spokesperson Nick Leahy told The Verge that the program 'has been in development for well over a year'."[0]

As of 1995 more than 50% of people who identified as Indigenous preferred the term "American Indian".[0]

It's interesting how people outside of a group can erase that group's identity just by taking away the name that they use to define themselves. Any politically correct American has to say "Native American" or use the even more generic term "Indigenous People" while the majority of the people being referred to understand themselves to be "Indians" or "American Indians". Hundreds of years being known as Indians and having that taken away by scholars and academics. It's a sad final twist on an exceptionally sad story.

Oddly enough for whatever reason they don't seem to use that as much anymore. The visual symbols have been replaced with english text like CAUTION, WARNING, etc. A system of pictograms exists for chemicals but manufacturers must not have to use them.

Investigate fume hoods and implement a good one with enough make-up air to take everything coming off of your range out of your kitchen. Air quality's negatively impacted by heating pots/pans/etc. and their contents up and less about how they're being heated. With the exception of h2o just about everything you cook has a negative impact on the air quality and the pans themselves are doing all sorts of interesting things to the air when they get hot.

Pods are a scam. They measure out ordinary crappy dishwashing detergent and package it up in a 'pod' then mark the price up 10x. In the US soap seems to exist in a grey area where manufacturers can make unsubstantiated claims about performance based on 'testing' that they supposedly do internally. The new Dawn dishwashing liquids make claims about having exponentially more cleaning power and yet cleaning anything requires exactly the same amount of soap as it did with the old Dawn.

With dishwashing detergent liquids are superior. Liquid detergent often contains varying amounts of KOH which is about as good as it gets in terms of cleaning power that won't also destroy dishes(NaOH). They can't put KOH in dry detergent so it's made with less effective chemicals that are better at staying in a powdered form without clumping.

Managers need to be able to spot OCD spirals and keep things on track. Having perfectly realistic doors isn't that important - the end user only notices them when they break. TLOU2 is remembered most for being less great than TLOU and not for its superior door mechanics.

According to the Late Great Alexander Shulgin the recommended dose is 1-10mg orally.

The violent anti-nerd sentiment of the 1980s had real life implications for anyone who was into computers or other nerd behavior well into the 90s. I actively avoided any public association with nerd things, only using them secretly and not talking about it with friends. The stereotype radically changed into a cool thing in the late 90s with the hacker becoming the new architype.

Moving forward it's important to remember that mainstream films effectively doomed almost two decades of smart people to either closet nerd behavior or condemnation and ostracization.

The whole NES era really was the last terrible period in video game history. No console after the NES had so many games that were so bad and so expensive.

New PS2 games cost around $50 USD back in the 2000s and most new PS4 games actually cost less now when you account for inflation.

Blizzard was literally actively marketing its games to imbeciles. I'd love to know how common that type of buying decision gets made and if it carries over to online game buying - Amazon lists the weight of items.

Rockstar Games takes the cake for the best material included with physical copies, every PS2 era game came with a booklet packed with material about the in-game world and GTAs also included a full-size poster and map. Any advertisements or leaflets included were always brilliant parodies that would lead to real sites. I've never seen this level of quality and depth from anyone except Rockstar.

With video games there's often good reasons to want the disc so you can roll back to the v1.0 before any changes are made. Rockstar Games always adds easter eggs to the disc version that typically get eroded with updates. At least on the PS4 Sony won't let you pick and choose which updates to install for digital copies.
