Newer technologies generally make that unnecessary -- until the tech fails, that is. Commercial vessels traversing most “inland” waterways are r...

Re: Shrooms

Most of the “natural chemicals” in plants evolved as some form of a defense agent. That they have some human physiological effect is but a coincidence. They are by no means optimized for humans. As an example, we have optimized pepper plants to have OUR desired levels of capsaicin. We can (and proba...

Since travel resumed post pandemic I haven’t been on a flight which has had more than a few empty seats, let alone half full flights. I can’t remember the last time there was an empty seat next to me.

.....but you'd have to chop Frank Mason's leg off for him to miss his final year NCAA tournament and last chance at a natty. The doctors would have had to stop him from playing.
None of us know if the doctors stopped him. Or at least influenced his decision heavily.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2024

None of us know if the conversation with the physicians went along the lines of “well, you could try to play and maybe you’ll do fine. However, remember that there’s a non-zero chance that you might injure yourself to the extent that you’ll be able to walk fine for the rest of your life but not be a...

I think you misunderstood my post. I’m agreeing with you that this particular initiative is misguided. My only quibble is with characterizing stupid laws as uniquely Californian.

Could get interesting.
It would not be surprising to see the 2 factions of the GOP start eating each other.
That would be among the best things to happen to this country.
