We have tried to dial up the harsher penalties on drugs since the 1970s and I’m not convinced it has been effective in reducing the harm.

Legalise and tax it like with tobacco and alcohol.

I fit into that stereotype. I’m still doing no shave November 2014, I hunt and fish and like to BBQ anything I catch while having a beer.

Depends on what kind of food, how it’s stored, does it smell funny?

I’m unlikely to try to replace it once it has made it’s way home. Not worth my time.

I know there is a website either government or privately maintained with a reasonably recent law text.

I’m sure the library could lend me a copy of the laws if I asked.

It’s a meme that women smell fishy. If you do, then you should check with your gyn.

Ordered a new hunting rifle. Never had a brand new one myself, always preowned.

Well considering the mortality rate for mothers is fairly low in rich countries I’d hazard a guess that it’s fairly safe and the benefits widely outweighs the risk.

I used it to look up data on wikipedia articles and plug said data into a fairly simple formula and do the maths for me.

Like three times ever.

Is the tensile strength approximately infinite and/or the weight of the wire close to zero?

If they are not I’ll play around with something at work tomorrow if I’m not too busy. Eg something 100 times “better” than steel, would it stretch due being anchored by it’s own weight rather than move the other end at astronomical distances.

It will remove some amount of material when you cut.

If it is enough for anyone to care about is another question.

Or was the question what happens on a molecular level and if cutting is any different than sawing at that level?

Don’t have any local markets. In the south you can pick up some groceries straight from the farmer but I live too far north for farming.

Because it’s cheap and easy to produce. Biofuels compete with food and forests. Not sure how much waste products can cover. Either way the biodiesel is about twice the price of the regular stuff here and has a lower tax rate than regular diesel (~43% tax rate)

It has a very high energy density. First Google result approx 10x that of batteries in EVs.

All the infrastructure is already built. EVs are becoming better and better options but the grid needs to be upgraded and the generation capacity increased.

If saws were effective they would use them to hammer in nails.

Wrong tool for the job is never going to be effective. Show me a politician who rarely (if ever) debates and gets elected from advertising alone.

I don’t see any adverts due to extensive adblock.

English is confusing enough. For the sake of future generation I’ll correct you for using litterally like figuratively even if I’m the last person on earth that uses it correctly.

If you get a job and pay your taxes Scandinavian countries most people don’t mind.

Depends on what you want to achieve.

It’s a hedge against inflation. So in times of high inflation and economic uncertainty it will do well.

Keeping a small amount in a safe in case the world goes to shit, well only after you have a pile of guns, ammunution and canned food.

It’s not a productive asset. If you buy stocks you’ll probably be better off in the long run.

That being said your investment portfolio should not be only one kind of investment and gold should probably be a part of it eventually.

There are addons that try to auto decline all. They do a reasonable job at it

A lot of the job is about dealing with people that are not rational for the moment.

I get annoyed when the price tags are too small to read
