    You just pass out on the table and wake up in a bed something like 40 minutes later. I could remember everything up to feeling the effects of the anesthetic and beginning to pass o…

    >month long camping retreat Not dissing your idea, which is accurate, but I can't not-find it funny to then remark that most Americans couldn't even take a 2 week vacation without …

    Of course, keep in mind US v. Paramount recently got sunsetted and it was decided it could never happen again :^)

    For whatever it's worth, some places currently disallow pay at the pump if you're refuelling late at night, at least for diesel (I didn't check for gasoline). I've encountered it b…

    I think what he's saying is far more comparable to: "If you choose to live on an obscure island or corner of alaska unreachable by land, should the government be obligated to keep …

    Remove Swerway and this is just insane enough that I get the feeling this will really happen. Rip Van Winkle sleeps in a coma for 80 years, wakes up revived in Swerway

    What's he supposed to say? "Sweetie, you might maybe be possibly wrong maybe. I might be wrong too but i think it could be saying..." He didn't attack you or act abrasive. You are …

    I believe what is "civilian" is something that can become murky, and by justifiable I primarily just mean "logically coherent and able to be justified by a possibly different but n…

    What I'm actually describing is how each citizen of a country can be described as supporting any ongoing war efforts, terrorism, etc. -- something which many geneva convention sign…

    While I agree to an extent, this begs an obvious question: How far do we take this line of thinking? Is an attack like 9/11 justified since even the twin towers were used by the US…

    Question: how does that rat case actually work out followed through slightly more? If enough players bought at $5k/ton and the seed shortage increases prices due to scarcity, what …

    Good point, the system would work just as well if it was something like: w36:2 But it wouldn't cause nearly as much confusion or decimal place issues relating to improper automatio…

    Wow that's insane. Any examples in particular? I knew about some plant seeds that if eaten raw have toxins like canavanine that cause malformed proteins but wouldn't be obvious at …

    I just want to share that a similar ER visit in the US for a minor injury basically isn't possible / reasonable. If your injury is minor and you're uninsured, you're going to be du…
