Everyone’s body reacts differently to substances, nothing to worry about. Because there’s a history of bipolar disorder in my family I’m a bit wary of trying anything psychoactive like LSD, Acid, or DMT.

Also, good on you for quitting tobacco! Nicotine is a really addictive sonofabitch, especially since it comes in more socially acceptable forms. I have tried many times before using all of the methods (reduction, cold turkey, patches, gum, inhaler) and none of them worked. Only vaping has managed to keep me off the cigarettes and I’ve now reduced the percentage from my starting point at 20% down to 5%. The next step is either 3% or 0% and then kicking the habit itself.

Seconded. I would but here it’s illegal, my contacts have dried up, and I can’t afford it :/

I wish it was legal because I’d much rather have an end-of-week puff as I don’t like to drink.

I would guess this is likely to get Russia to dedicate more forces to protecting their nuclear capabilities because without that Putin knows he’s fucked.

The more anti-missile and anti-air are dedicated to protecting nuclear triad infrastructure, the less is protecting other assets like HQs, supply depos, aircraft and other conventional combat systems.

Oh you think you can convince me to read the paper with a clever title?

But you’ve ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD: Terminally Online!

Effect: Reading the title counts as reading the content.

The science_memes and noncredibledefense crossover we didn’t know we needed.

Does this technically mean that Wernher von Braun stating “The rocket performed beautifully, it just landed on the wrong planet” was a non-credible defense?

(Fourier taking a big drag on a doob): Everything… is just a sinewave man.

I mean if this is Google’s new Google+ moment there’s only one person we can call upon in our time of need:

They’ll just have an in-house “lawyer” present in the room. Boom, law complied with, abuse continues.

Royal Navy: U wot m8?

So just to expand upon the article author’s one possible future of it being overwhelming which he briefly glosses over, please enjoy this animated reading of one of my favourite graphic novels: Transmetropolitan

I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.

I am not going to like the day they remove that.

Oh for fucks sake.

Looks like Stanley finally escaped.

But how would the corporate world divide the 13 month year into quarters? Don’t you know what that’ll do to the bottom line?! Think of the poor shareholders! /s

Robins are aggressively territorial. Pretty much every time you hear them chirping it’s either saying “FUCK OFF!!!” or “FUCK ME!!!”.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich:

“Well, as the first to co-ordinate time we-”

The International Telecommunication Union and International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service in Unison:

“Excuse me, I think you’ll find we manage the time.”

NIST: “I don’t see your footprints up there! We’re going off my Omega Speedmaster!”

I once heard a wise old man at the pub urinals say “you never buy beer, you only ever rent it” before he proceeded to piss all over his shoes.

I touched it during a primary school trip there.

Yeah but Electromagnetics is the DEEP magic behind electronics.

You could, if you wanted, use quantum mechanics and electromagnetic field theory to do circuit design. But unless you’re building quantum computers or doing simple circuit analysis and wanted a real challenge applying Kirchhoff’s Laws, there’s no need.

So you can use the simplified electronics model where the current (and therefore primary charge carriers) is positive.
