That's a very concise way to put it, and i agree. Reminds me of something i was thinking about the other day... If it is the responsibility of the government to control my actions... then how can i be responsible for anything i do? But if i must be responsible, then how can the government...

The problem is federal prohibition via the controlled substances act, And, the money/business side of things. The government types want to eliminate competition for the competing businesses in which they are currently heavily invested (such as the private prison industrial complex and "big...

Some people's judgment never develops correctly to begin with, often because their cognitive development is impaired by things like religion, racism, nationalism, and insufficient exposure to reality, and other people who have adequately perceived it. These people with retarded judgment...

I've never met a woman who was as good as she wanted people to think she was. I suppose the closest any have come to accomplishing that, would be my sister. Mom's not terrible, but the disparity between her actual ways and how she wants to be perceived, is greater. I see this trait repeated...

So... i had this whole elaborate and deliberately somewhat vague reply typed up... lol, but i shouldn't. Cuffs and squad cars aren't necessarily the end of the story. Just a very unpleasant inconvenience, unless they can put you away forever. Let's just say... someone motivated me to explore...

Yeah... i'm not so sure about that. Mad bitches are indeed quite nasty, but I could teach "scorned woman's fury" a thing or two.

From what i've read, it seems interrupting the Dark period can be problematic, but you can do some crazy things with the day period, such as people running one 12 hour night per 24-36 hour day. "People say" (grain of salt) as long as you give them a sufficient uninterrupted dark period, they'll...

Trustworthy people are scarce. Makes life that much less than it could be.

"the smartest people sometimes do the stupidest things." -me "...Even if one does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge, to know what it is Not." -Jung (paraphrased) It doesn't matter if it's "superior," if it involves something i want to avoid. It's not superior...

Also: i may be a white male, but i'm also in multiple minority groups. I have no idea what to vote for, because every available vote will cause me a detriment in some way. Let me vote to abolish cannabis prohibition and amend the constitution to specifically forbid it from ever being...

At some point, there will be enough police that "police" will be the most important demographic. As long as they keep inventing "crimes," there will always be plenty of police jobs.

Not that i disagree with the existence of the ancient patriarchy, but... Dude, have you Seen the way women behave? I won't say it was the right way, but someone had to do something. Maybe it's just my region... (ironically a very religiously influenced region) ...which is one of the parts...

Well, i tried to bring this to a common ground of civility. Feels like wasted energy.

I agree: linguistic incompatibility is a problem i often cite, in numerous areas, not just here. At some point, i realized that those vehemently opposing "defoliation" were arguing against a definition i wasn't using (which is probably the definition they were given by those promoting it)...

I have, and "pretty good" is better than "not at all." Especially if i know exactly what went into the entire process, and can feel at ease with knowing no one did anything "weird" to it. Life in an ivory tower must be... interesting?

If the best i can do is B+, which means i'm satisfied and never have to buy or deal with dealers, that's neither "lousy" nor "inexcusable." Quality over quantity; function over form. The right tool for the right job. LED is simply "best" in some circumstances, despite the notion that anything...

Heat, power cost/availability, lifespan of lamp, etc. Sometimes, certain factors are more important than having the most powerful lamp money can buy.

You know how they say "appearances can be deceiving," and "don't judge a book by its cover..." "what's inside is what matters..." Some people only want big fat colas; others don't care what it looks like, as long as it smells/tastes/smokes great, and feels how they want to feel. I've argued...

in the "relative spectral power distribution" section, i'm the Red line (3000k, 80 CRI); i would prefer the Purple line (high CRI), but AFAIK, they're not available. In the "typical spatial distribution" section, my largest leaves occur in the zone of highest intensity (directly in the center)...

I think you guys are missing my point, due to being hydro zealots. Prior to participating in the hydro movement, i am able to determine various factors of the hydro process, which i would prefer to avoid. Therefore: soil (despite any claims of hydro superiority). You guys seem to think i'm...
